    Grateful to for the platform to share my thoughts about Jason Van Dyke's sentence. As a nation we must say, believe and behave in a way that affirms

    I can't help comparing this to what happens when soldiers sacrifice themselves for their fellow troops.

    Kendrick Castillo lunged at a gunman to save his classmates about a week after Riley Howell did something similar. They should be lauded, but a society that honored their sacrifice would ensure that there would be no more need for their brand of heroism.

    I just feel like more than 38k should see this tweet...

    Alex Cora has confirmed newspaper report he will not make the trip to meet the president. So basically it’s the white Sox who’ll be going.

    I’m hoping it underscores how Pan-African baseball is with progeny of enslaved Africans from here, the Caribbean, South America standing together.

    I'm curious if this will expand the conversation on the differences in politics between white Cubans and Afro-Cubans. Not all "brown" people are monolithic, and definitely not all Cubans.

    “Those opting out of the trip are all people of color, while those planning to attend (with the exception of designated hitter J.D. Martinez, who is of Cuban descent) are white.”-

    As it should be. Good on the SAO

    Very happen for this young man's byline... not nearly as happy about the result of the game. We never lost to City in city title baseball games.

    I’ve been dreaming of this day since I was kid... here’s my first byline for The Sun in the paper!

    Uber & Lyft drivers are boycotting today. If you can afford to, and believe in fairness and justice in the workplace stand in solidarity with them and don't ride Uber & Lyft today.

    1) a top Trump official calling Corbyn ‘disgusting’ is a gift to Corbyn, regardless of where you stand on Venezuela. 2) how ‘disgusting’ is it that Pompeo was yukking it up with the Saudi Crown Prince only weeks after he had a US-based journalist murdered and dismembered?

    Pompeo: "Disgusting" to see leaders continue to support Maduro dictatorship, responding to Jeremy Corbyn's backing of Venezuelan regime.

    Right on Dr. Brown! All of this

    Johns Hopkins University is perhaps the most powerful academic system in the world. They could devise a strong public health approach to violence. By bringing in a full squad of BPD this morning, they have proven protestors’ point: JHUPD will over-police, not produce peace.

    "but I'm a working America" Literally the reason the causes we would protest for are still plaguing us. To not see that is either naive ignorance or an admission of defeat.

    Replying to @RayBakerMedia
    There are numerous causes I would protest for, but I'm a working American.

    Great question. The your in quotations is a noted rhetorical trick. Do I believe there are causes worth interrupting the status quo and inconveniencing the public yes. Are there ANY causes you feel are worth that?

    Replying to @RayBakerMedia
    Got it. So you believe it's okay to disrupt the lives of others for "your" beliefs. Again free choice. Dont like the rules a private university has established....let me show you the door.

    As mentioned the university was able to move those services online until there was physical relocation More, the purpose of social disturbance is to disturb. So yes there will be inconveniences for all of us. If we’re not cool with that, you DO have a problem with the protest.

    Replying to @RayBakerMedia
    From what I have read Garner Hall provides services to those with disabilities. When one physically impedes those from receiving the services they are paying for, doesn't that infringe on their rights?

    What bums me out is that the notion that “non essential” items are somehow less pure, as if a delicious lunch or something you love but don’t need is frivolous and meaningless, and instead should strive towards austerity in order to pay for the things that keep us alive.

    The average adult in the USA spends $1,497 a month on nonessential items. All told, that's roughly $18,000 a year on things we can all do without.

    A day who but super relevant to today’s action at Johns Hopkins University. Especially considering all the radical scholarship JHUPress publishes.

    Don’t underestimate the ways universities profit off of intellectual radicalism and activism. They love it on campus in the context of publications and workshops as long as it isn’t directed at challenging the structure of the university itself.

    21st century, they moved services digital until relocated, however the disruption of tea interrupt the goods for others. So there wasn’t even a service interruption. Does that mean you now support the students?

    Replying to @RayBakerMedia
    I do not have an issue with protest, but when services are not available to others because of....you are stamping on their rights.

    I hear the choice argument but the “founding fathers” didn’t merely choose to leave the colonies. They worked to create what they assumed as change for a just place where they are. To ask these students not to is intellectually inconsistent, no?

    Replying to @RayBakerMedia
    You know what I love about this country you have a choice. Don't like the policies of the school, don't send your children there. Simple! I love all types of music, but unfortunately rap isn't one of them, so your question cannot be answered
