Wow!!! This is like election observers in countries with weak/new democracies.....the symbolism isn't lost on me....voter suppression is real!
I am excited to announce the launch of #FairFight2020, a comprehensive initiative to staff, fund, and train voter protection teams on-the-ground in battleground states across the country.
Join our fight to protect the vote at fairfight2020.org.
@nhannahjones also....I don't think @nytimes editor understood the first question. I heard..."When your writers say something inaccurate and inflammatory about black people, how will you incorporate the #1619Project research to disabuse the writers of their false conclusions?!"
And sista @eveewing hit the nail on the head with comment about the danger of replicating the behaviors of the past with normalizing the inhumane etc. etc.
.@nhannahjones Dear Sister, I have a correction to your Twitter bio: Beyonce is the Nicole Hannah Jones of music! You are a seminal talent and force. I am in tears over the healing and power of your opening words on the livestream -- Black people are not a problem to be solved.

Toni Morrison's books focus, without apology or explanation, on black lives.
"I've spent my entire writing life trying to make sure that the white gaze was not the dominant one in any of my books," she told Charlie Rose in 1998.
Morrison has died at 88.

So much good news today: Geneva Cooley is going home! She was found suitable today. Thank you to Courtney Cross and the entire @UofAlabama Law team for your help in making sure Geneva can spend the rest of her life at home with her family. @NickKristof @WBRCnews @bshelburne

These shootings are not “senseless,” a favorite word in the aftermath. They are the elimination logic of white supremacy. They have a meticulous citationary structure, inter-referencing other violent discourses & acts. “Lonely white man” is blatantly false.

Sooo...when will we get a #WhiteIdentityExtremist report? Oh! That’s right! The DOJ would have to commission it and they work for the White-supremacist-in-chief. #ElPaso

Powerful personal message from @VictorBlackwell. Every American should watch this all the way to the end. Words matter. xitter.gq/joshscampbell/status/1…
Great article! This line was particularly funny "Some are big racists, some are small racists. Some are short racists, some are tall racists." This could be the title of a Dr. Seuss Old Racist, New Racist book. Haha!

My Jesus has deep melanin and can withstand the dessert sun. When I see a blonde haired blue-eyes Jesus, the cognitive dissonance sets in. Maybe that’s how racists feel about everything in their lives. It just doesn’t compute. It doesn’t have to; bronzed Yeshua died for them too. – at Atlanta, GA

Playing the "Race Card" (Definition) = When a person of color holds someone accountable for engaging in racially insensitive discussions, activities or policy-making & the accused party cannot render an adequate defense for their actions they say you're playing the "Race Card."
