    Yesterday, during the Macmillan meeting, some Oprah ppl insisted that she has chosen Latinx writers for her club, stressing Gabriel Garcia Marquez. In reply, I grunted, "He's dead."

    Quick quesh: How many laws were in place designed to prevent people from watching all or part of Super Bowl LIV?

    One observation I want to make is that the two women behaved in a presidential fashion after the chaos in Iowa. Both gave gracious speeches and flew to New Hampshire. Meanwhile, Biden went to his lawyers, Pete declared "victory," and Bernie released confusing partial caucus data.

    There are 140 million poor & low wealth people in America. Without an accurate assessment, we are participating in a policy coverup. If we don't acknowledge poverty, we are refusing to call on these witnesses among us. This is a moral crisis. This is the state of our union.

    Yea - speaking with folks on the ground - the caucus counts were and are SOUND. They are recorded - the issue in the REPORTING piece. They will get it sorted out. But it's gross watching two white men openly lie to the public via declaring victory and releasing unverified data.

    A lot of us are saying things that the church (even white progressives ones) doesn’t want to reckon with. The thing is, if we don’t speak, we lose ourselves to systems that didnt want our full existence anyway. We speak up to survive. We speak up to make us all more whole.

    All of the candidates deserved to have their speeches aired in their entirety. They worked hard and voters want to hear them. Above only mentions EW bc network I was watching cut away from her after airing others. It was written in the moment. The sentiment applies to everyone.

    I grew up hearing how “corrupt” tribal gov’t was and how the US brought “democracy” to the savage Indians, after assassinating our leaders, putting us in concentration camps, and making us involuntary citizens. And now these folks are deciding elections with coin tosses. 😂

    The Gun Violence Memorial features a cluster of four glass houses. Each has 700 glass brick openings — representing the average number of people killed by guns each week in the U.S. The spaces hold fragments of who they were: a hairbrush, a photograph.

    If you're poor, a $100 parking ticket can trap you in an unending cycle of being unable to pay. If you're rich, $16,000 in parking tickets is completely inconsequential. We need fairer fines.

    For Black History Month, please do an audit of the people you follow/are friends with on social media. If you — for whatever reason— cannot bring yourself to be friends with Black folks, you should at the very least be following/supporting/listening to us in outsized numbers.

    The worst part of tonight's nonsense is the Iowa caucus non-event stepped on one of the biggest news stories in a while, which is that we found out tonight that TRUMP HAD A SECRET MEETING WITH THE CROWN PRINCE OF SAUDI ARABIA AT HIS (TRUMP'S) HOUSE A WEEK BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION

    The need for election night results is driven by television programming. Did we need to know the results of the Iowa Caucus last night? No. But the networks play that crazy election night “Decision 2020” music and we must have a “winner.”

    Think about this: — Iowa is 90.7% white — Iowa is now the only state with a lifetime voting ban for people with a felony conviction — Black people make up 4% of Iowa's population but 26% of its prison population How is this representative of our electorate?

    Flashback: the DNC made substantial changes to the rules to try to appease Sanders supporters & bring the warring progressive/regDem factions together. The Iowa caucus debacle will likely yield demands for MORE systematic changes, making 2024 a new world.

    A trope I really dislike is the Woman Who Holds Back The Man. It’s a staple in stories starring manly men like cops, soldiers, boxers, mobsters, etc. I read/watch a lot in those genres and am getting tired of the woman being a thing the guy’s gotta ditch to do what he’s gotta do.
