Second skeet, I’m gonna introduce myself for anybody that wants to know. I’m a passing mixed person. I was raised in white spaces, but I made a decision when I was young to hold onto my blackness. It took a while to figure it out, but I didn’t lean into it fully until George Floyd 1/4

I'm entirely serious about this: until you internalize the view that urban America is Real America, you won't see the urgency of structural reform of an American government whose fundamental structures so disadvantage its population centers—the great engines of its prosperity, progress, & culture.
Another good practice for the New Year would be for all the non-fascists in America who want to opine about politics to really begin believing that urban America is Real America & that its denizens are The Authentic People. Get some self-respect & drop the volkish nationalist view that they're not
And I think liberals should stop taking the bait and ceding ground on immigration.
Immigration is good. Multiculturalism is good. Free trade is good. Stop being embarrassed to say so.

Large law firms are siding with Trump over their clients and employees. Let me give you one statistic to exemplify this:
DOJ is suing 22 states for access to sensitive voter data.
My firm of 60 lawyers is fighting in all 22.
Not a single big law firm is fighting along side us in any case.

I want to share something that brings me delight. I read the Bible; a friend just told me about a version of it called Hawaiian Pidgin. It’s written in English, but not the way anybody I know normally speaks. It reminds me of the inner story of “Cloud Atlas.” It lights up my life, seriously!

Trump ran on a promise that ICE would go after the “worst" criminals.
But the real crime is in oligarchs taking $170b from your healthcare and food assistance to form a secret police force.

After 9-11, our mother suggested giving to charities for Christmas, instead of buying each other "more stuff." More in keeping with the spirit of the season. We still buy token gifts – $20-$25, no more – but we still give to nonprofits.
