- “I have a brother-in-law who has autism, and [Trump] is a guy that mocked a disabled reporter. How would I explain that to him that I hung out with somebody who mocked the way that he talked, or the way that he moves his hands? I can’t get past that stuff”
- A number of people have emailed asking how we learned the National Archives had altered the photo from the 2017 Women’s March. The short answer is: chance. The little bit longer answer I’ll explain in this thread. 1/?
- In front of RFK stadium in Washington DC, a memorial to Americans who have died from COVID-19. It goes and goes and goes.
- Unbelievably disturbing scenes/videos of high school kids mocking Native American elders on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial yesterday.
- Replying to @JoeHeimI should add, while this story was mostly due to chance, it’s much easier if people send me tips for stories. I always like those - good news or bad. DMs open
- Faith groups at Emancipation park singing "this little light of mine." White supremacists chanting 'blood and soil'.

- Questioner asks Spencer: Given how ugly all of you are, why do you believe in white supremacy?
- Replying to @JoeHeimI was at the Archives earlier this week for a totally unrelated story about tourists coming to the Archives look at the Constitution (a story I still hope to write). On the same floor there is the Women’s Suffrage exhibit with this very large photo at the entrance 2/?
- We got our 10 yr old her first phone (flip, not smart). I think she’s going to wish she never got one.
- Now gathering around statue of Thomas Jefferson. Chanting 'white lives matter!'
