Barbara Becnel, PhD

@Schwarzenegger Today you value a “public servant’s heart.” In 2015, when as CA Governor you denied clemency to execute a reformed black male gang leader, an author of nine award-winning anti-gang children’s books, you did not display a “public servant’s heart.” You valued cold-hearted politics.

@khadijamohamme8 This is so wonderful and so very deserving!!!!!! Congratulations, Professor Khadija Mohammed!!!!! I am so happy for you!!!!!

@SenatorRomney I am an African American woman and a Democrat, but I want to thank you for demonstrating courage and decency by voting and clapping in support of Ketanji Brown Jackson.

I intend to vote in support of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation to be an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. My statement:

@RnbRnb7 @SilverstoneUK @LewisHamilton I agree!

@SilverstoneUK @LewisHamilton Greatest of all Time. He destroyed Max today. What a farcical ending.

Lewis Hamilton appreciation post ❤️️ A class act until the very end 🐐 #Silverstone #F1

@SilverstoneUK @LewisHamilton I absolutely agree!

@MUZ_ @piersmorgan @LewisHamilton You are so correct.

Incredibly gracious reaction by ⁦@LewisHamilton⁩ - he’s such a class act on & off the track, and never gets the full respect he deserves for being one of Britain’s greatest ever sportsmen.

@piersmorgan @LewisHamilton I seldom agree with you Piers, but this time you are right on!

@Utd_Luckzy @ESPNF1 Yes. I agree.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate Lewis Hamilton's role in giving us one of the greatest seasons in F1 history 👏🐐

@ThaDude44832387 @theblackdawnr3 @johndoegr @ESPNF1 I agree.

@ADredemptionSZN @ESPNF1 @fia You are correct.

@ESPNF1 Can we take a moment to realize @fia made up rules on the spot so Hamilton couldn’t win wtf he’s the greatest of all time

@soduntan @ESPNF1 I agree!

@ESPNF1 I think it is right to appreciate Lewis Hamilton, but as sports fans we should all be disgusted with the machinations of the FIA race director to give an undeserved advantage to his competitor.

@ESPNF1 I agree, ESPN F1. Thanks for making such an important acknowledgment.

@Lesdoggg This is so-o-o funny!!!!!!!

Well there goes my evening. I’ll be sending this out all night LMAO

@s_golightley @LucyLuciaCosta I will definitely reach out when I return to Edinburgh sometime this summer!

@BarbaraBecnel @LucyLuciaCosta @BarbaraBecnel your work sounds absolutely amazing by the way. If you ever make it to edinburgh irl feel free to drop me a line, me & a bunch of radical queers n Mad people would love to chat over coffee. You’re gonna have the most bad ass PhD and I’m so here for it!

Thank you to Prof Angela Davis and @BarbaraBecnel for fantastic insights into solidarity, possibilities and troublings. #MHSESAnnualLecture

@MittRomney Thank you for showing courage and integrity.
