- Replying to @beyoncegardenFiscally conservative but socially liberal. Translation: I don't want the gay homeless youth to die because they're gay, only because they're homeless.
- A lot of Black wealth, bulldozed to save mostly white drivers a few seconds. This story was repeated countless times across the country.A lot of our problems in our cities can be traced back to this
- The police are defunding cities.We obtained public records from 31 cities on police misconduct settlements. Our analysis shows the cities have spent more than $3 billion to settle misconduct lawsuits over the past 10 years. 53eig.ht/3sufVZh
- Replying to @coexistincI feel like I'm literally going insane looking at this tweet... Are 11 yo boy's notebooks breathtaking? WHY WAS A SOLDIER ABLE TO DRAW ON A SCHOOL WHITEBOARD????
- Not to be overdramatic, but I think this debate has existential consequences. If you believe like I do that cities- with their compact green living and mix of cultures is key to saving the planet and greater tolerance- they have to be places that feel safe and welcoming. 1/A crucial divide on the left. An ex-friend said to me once living in a city means you have to accept the people around you are going to do whatever they want, and everyone has to chill. I see the opposite. Living in a city means being mindful & considerate of oneโs neighbors.
- Replying to @cuttapotatoMind you, it was the highest rated 5 min in CMA history...
- This is the natural ends of the "trans panic". A presumably cisgender model in this stock photo is being used as anti-trans fodder because she's tall? These people don't care about women and girls.I will always fight for students
- This is identity politics, only with something far less meaningful or real than race, ethnicity, orientation, or gender. It's just consumerism and contrarianism. Some use trucks for work and others just think it's cool, but "proud pickup truck owner"? What does that mean?My husband, a proud pickup truck owner, only has one thing to say to @MassGovernor: Come and Take It! #nhpolitics #nhgov
- White urbanist parents should be posting pics like this too. We're gonna have to dismantle the idea that you're a bad parent if each kid doesn't have a 150 sf room to themselves if city living with kids is gonna take off for average people.A single mother of 3 goes viral after she shows how she manages to fit her Children in a 2 Bedroom House
- What did you think "land back" meant? Papers, vibes, a pastoral park on some of the world's most expensive real estate?
- As folks learn about #BlackWallStreet, they should also learn that the final nail in the coffin was a far more banal form of racism and white supremacy... The highway.
