I hate all these sellouts for making me agree with Dr Umar
Dr. Umar calls out Gayle King for disrespecting Dawn Staley and goes off on Stephen A. Smith, LeBron James, Charles Barkley, Shannon Sharpe, and Emmanuel Acho for treating Angel Reese like an animal. (🎥 The Art Of Dialogue/YouTube)

Putting someone like Meghan Markle in the group called “narcissist” with the likes of Donald Trump and Elon Musk is not just deeply disrespectful. It shows just how deeply antiblack and misogynist people really are.

This, out of #Ukraine, is 100% one of the most incredible videos I have ever seen. This Russian POW has the heart of a lion 🦁

To be clear: We should care about Ukraine. But not because it is European, or the people appear white, or they are “civilized” and not “impoverished.” All people deserve to be free and to be welcomed when their countries are at war.

What if I told you Europe is not a continent by defintion, but a geopolitical fiction to separate it from Asia and so the alarm about a European, or civilized, or First World nation being invaded is a dog whistle to tell us we should care because they are like us.

Thanksgiving epitomizes a make-believe nation’s fake history of cordial Native-colonizer relations as its founding. We are thus compelled every year to counter a Disneyland story erasing European invasion, land theft, and Indigenous genocide. #NationalDayOfMourning

Sen. Cruz, while I understand you judge people’s intelligence by the lowest income they’ve had, I hold awards from MIT Lincoln Lab &others for accomplishments in microbiology. Secondly, I’m surprised you’re asking about chromosomes given that you don’t even believe in evolution.
As you are speaking as the oracle of science, tell us, what exactly is a Y chromosome?

Yang totally misunderstands "market value." His wife's economic value is not "ZERO," unlike what he says. Her labor & contributions enable his career—and that's just one example of value she creates. Market value & economic value don't just mean salary. #DemDebate #Cato2020

I want a #DemDebate moderated by youth gun control, immigration, and climate change activists.

Tonight, we need moderators to #AskAboutAbortion—but that’s just the start. We need to hear candidates' plans about abortion access and affordability, birth control coverage, paid family leave, and how they’ll combat pregnancy discrimination. #DemDebate
THREAD: So it looks like the name-change passed. Congratulations. I want you to remember that this is the least you can do. The lowest of bars. Worry more about changing the field than you are a name-change from hereon in. 1/15

White people who only believe other white people when it comes to racism is a form of racism. They discount the experience of BIPOC because they are “not objective,” and rely on the perceived neutrality of whiteness to confer authority. Thread👇🏽👆🏽#ShakeRace
Replying to @ISASaxonists
The fact that my voice and others is not enough and that white people need convincing by white people means that whiteness is ALWAYS endorsed in ASS and ISAS. The board was open to listening but so slow to respond while those of us directly affected continued to be damaged. 6/10
Bennet states we are cyborg researchers, bastard children of the White supremacists, but this allows us to know much more than our predecessors ever did. #MLA19 #s557 #MedievalTwitter
Bennet's concern is with the erasure of the materiality of manuscripts in favour of an unlikely "pure original." #MLA19 #s557 #MedievalTwitter
