There are people in the history of America who deserve to be lionized and have their stories told for decades and centuries to come. John Lewis has been one of them since he was young, but kept up his incredible work and advocacy for further decades.
There is a long tradition in America of those who gain rights…

Yeah, I was ruminating on that last night.  They’re just complete hypocrites.

Funny how those people are upset when we say cops should’ve complied with the fundamental human rights of people they’re arresting.

Hopefully they can get a quick judgment in any such case because of the cases re: Trump and Twitter bans.

Huge fan, but c’mon, Daveed Diggs needs a shout out.

Daveed Diggs is fucking brilliant.  I’m #teamBurr, but Diggs just steals every scene he’s in.

That’s my point, that the ACLU is out here, meaning there WILL be a challenge if the behavior doesn’t stop.

Another piece of evidence for how important the ACLU is.  Most of us wouldn’t have even thought about the 1st amendment implications here, but they’re pretty clearly correct that this is government sanctioning speech.

I’m actually surprised that the prosecutors were like “oh, this is the wrong guy, let’s let him go”. Prosecutors in this country don’t have the best record on that sort of thing.  #JustMercy

They can still shoot a mofugga down!

Racism gonna racism.

The stage persona was very... something.  I did really enjoy their first album though, and have loved them ever since.

Try listening to Brendon Urie’s take on it:

I am disappoint. I was hoping for exciting news about Civilization IV: Beyond The Sword!

However, after watching them perform Mic Drop on SNL, I now want them to put on Hamilton.  MAKE IT SO

Impressively this undersells how difficult this play was.

I hope it’s improved some in the 20ish years since then, but ultimately, standardized testing isn’t great for education.
The issue of getting bad teachers out is real, but I’m not convinced standardized testing is all that helpful.

When we catch someone, we need to follow through on the consequences, otherwise others view the lack of consequences and continue the behavior.
Sure, Amy Cooper lost her job, but apparently got her dog back, and other white women keep doing this.
I am in favor of the complete overhaul of our carceral system, but until…

It was multiple choice word problems. One of the problem questions was even shown in the Boston Globe at the time as an example.

MCAS is bullshit.  I took the first math test, and it had multiple problematic questions which were poorly framed leading to multiple interpretations being possible, leading to different answers being correct.

That video of some dumbass drunk lady slamming into a door is almost certainly from before masks.  It has Mardi Gras signs next to the door of the bar, and nobody is wearing masks inside.
