We rightly swoon over #AmandaGorman, yet here’s another moment: Justice Sotomayor mispronouncing VP Harris’s first name. Simple human mistake. But if Madam Justice was a conservative, woke Twitter... would be freaking. And they’d still applaud Ms. Gorman’s plea to lay down arms. 😔
How the @MoralCourage of #MLK inspired my own work as a Muslim reformer.👇🏽And yes, that’s @BerniceKing behind me. We were at @ebenezer_atl, Dr. King’s church.) What has his and ... #CorettaScottKing’s example taught you? #MLKDay2021

We were only following orders.
‘Trump said to do so’: Accounts of rioters who say the president spurred them to rush the Capitol could be pivotal testimony - The Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-rioters-testimony/2021/01/16/01b3d5c6-575b-11eb-a931-5b162d0d033d_story.html
[email protected]👇🏽Thank you to my good friend and co-chair of Loews, Andrew Tisch — a role-model for the corporate community. (Or *any* community, for that matter.)
We are horrified and opposed to the events at the Capitol and all who supported and incited the actions. In light of those events and for the safety of our guests and team members, we have informed the host of the Feb. fundraiser that it will no longer be held at Loews Hotels.
Planning to respectfully disrupt some core assumptions in how DEI is practiced these days. If you’re an innovative exec, you’ll be excited. If you’re a status quo diversity disciple, you’ll be... annoyed. Either way, attend, think, and question.👇🏽#DisruptDEI @MoralCourage

👇🏽”You did this to us!” = learned victimhood. On the right as on the left, the Oppression Olympics are so damn tedious.
@cjane87 It’s abusive, I think. Reminds me of the man at the insurrection who screamed that they used to be normal people but “YOU DID THIS TO US!!!!” Its the same as “you made me hit you!”
After last week’s violence on Capitol Hill, what does the #BelovedCommunity even mean? And how do we get there? I’m freaking delighted to engage with these upstanders.👇🏽You’re invited, ... too. Log on this Thursday at 12:30 pm ET. Free tix: https://bit.ly/38zPvhv. @TheKingCenter

Allow me to clarify. Elizabeth Warren got what she wanted: Betsy DeVos’s resignation. Thus, “winner.” Then Warren complained about getting what she wanted. Thus, “sore.” A + B = “sore ... winner.” Ok, resume your retorts. Thank you.
No question that @realDonaldTrump is an excruciatingly sore loser. That said, how many of us will admit that @ewarren is a sore winner? 👇🏽Anyone? Bueller? https://twitter.com/SenWarren/status/1347373567898431489

Betsy DeVos has never done her job to help America’s students. It doesn’t surprise me one bit that she’d rather quit than do her job to help invoke the 25th Amendment.
Good riddance, Betsy. You were the worst Secretary of Education ever. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-01-08/ap-newsalert-education-secretary-betsy-devos-resigns-after-capitol-insurrection-says-trump-rhetoric-was-inflection-point
Folks keep saying that 1/6/21 will go down as a “dark day” for America. Really? On this day, Trump’s opponents won control of federal governance & the basest of his base lost control of ... self-governance. Combine these & you get the certifiable end of “President” Trump.
Dark? ☀️
Amen. https://twitter.com/garrisstroud/status/1343939331946401793
There is no inherent danger in disagreement.
More accusations of me being “dangerous” for disagreeing with some of my fellow educators.👇🏽It’s ok to think differently, people. That’s part of diversity. So why such fragility?
@IrshadManji @ALALibrary It's not "any book". It's *these* books. And denying that is willfully ignorant and honestly dangerous. Your words matter.
Rebekah Jones, who was fired after accusing Gov. Ron DeSantis' administration of minimizing the pandemic and skewing state data, attracted national attention after her house was raided by armed state ... police on Monday morning. https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/08/us/rebekah-jones-whistleblower-raid-invs/index.html

It will take what my friend Irshad Manji calls @MoralCourage — doing the right thing in the face of your fears.” - @esanzi,... who role-models open-minded, big-hearted, ego-effacing citizenship every day. 👇🏽 https://twitter.com/esanzi/status/1324330766055165953

Hold on, just a little while longer. And if you need some strength, let our children lend you theirs ❤️
4.5 hours have passed since the news broke that the FBI stopped a group of domestic terrorists from kidnapping the Governor of Michigan, and still no word from @POTUS @realDonaldTrump.
