I work with refugees. Historian. I believe in humanitarian action, in helping others, in making society better for the most marginalized.

Police brutality Unequal education Maternal mortality Child welfare involvement These are all systems in which, and are not an exhaustive list, of the ways in which systemic racism is *quantifiable*. This is what we want with BLM. This is what needs changing. Not murals painted

9:00 AM Sunrise is more insane than most people realize. That's 1.5 class periods into school before the sun even rises. 2 hours into most blue collar workdays. That extra hour of daylight (in cold winter when everyone is inside anyway) from 5-6p isn't worth it at all.
Ryan Morse@RyanMorseWx

The U.S. House will vote this week on whether or not to make daylight saving time permanent. Essentially, we would not change the clocks again (no "falling back"). As I've mentioned over the years, below are 3 options and how they would look in Indianapolis, IN: current system, year-round daylight saving time & year-round standard time. Year-round daylight saving time would result in a 9:02 AM sunrise and 6:23 PM sunset on the winter solstice.

This is near Armstrong, Ontario. When will the Canadian National Railway Company make a statement about this incident?

@MerriamWebster Ok. But this might get through to the "why" part of my brain and this might make me be able to spell it

The ‘rhea’ in ‘diarrhea’ comes from the Greek word 'rhein,' which means “to flow.” The word 'stream' also comes from the same Greek word.

@MerriamWebster I need you to understand that this is probably the word I find most difficult to spell and I am definitely an above average speller. I hate it so much and I can't fully identify why I can't ever get it right.

Congratulations to Senator Darline Graham Nordone on this historic achievement. Her appointment marks a significant milestone for our state.   A 2009 graduate of South Carolina State University, Senator Graham Nordone becomes the first woman and the first HBCU graduate to represent South Carolina in the U.S. Senate. This is a testament to the progress our nation continues to make in expanding opportunities for women to serve at the highest levels of public office.    I feel certain her historic accomplishment will inspire generations of South Carolinians to believe that no barrier is beyond reach and wish her Godspeed.

@SenDuckworth You should have voted against it because merging our military with Israel is abhorrent in its own right. Yes, the idiotic war we started with Iran shouldn't be funded. At all. But merging our military with a foreign one is treason and that should have been enough

The Senate cannot authorize an unprecedented $1.14 trillion in defense spending for Trump to continue his disastrous war at the expense of the American people. I will vote no on the NDAA unless my amendment to end this illegal war is included. Enough is enough.

Today, I sued the Heritage Foundation, Stephen Miller, a Columbia affiliate, and others under the KKK Act. I will not stop fighting until everyone who willingly contributed to my missing the birth of my son—and 104 days of my life—answers for it. More actions will come soon. But this lawsuit is about far more than what was done to me. It is about a coordinated, ongoing plot to punish, silence, and intimidate everyone who dares to dissent and speak out for Palestinian liberation. We will hold them accountable.
