Earlier this week, @FedorZarkhin and I spent 12 hours in Salem Hospital’s ICU. I’ll link to that, but first I want to say a few things here about mental health as it relates to health care workers and … the rest of us.
One of the subjects of this story, Allie Wegener*, is an ICU nurse who cares for COVID patients. *Allie supports this thread
Three police officers went to an *elementary* school in Tennessee & arrested four Black girls. One girl fell to her knees. Another threw up. Police handcuffed the youngest, an 8 yo with pigtails. Their supposed crime? Watching some boys fight — and not stopping them. (THREAD)
When you study racism as long as I have, little can be truly shocking, but my God, this was just breathtaking and heartbreaking and shows once again how little so many in this society acknowledge the basic humanity of Black children. It's also why investigative reporting MATTERS.

This sent chills down my spine. Please read it, sit with it, and then, wake up: "We are already in a constitutional crisis. The destruction of democracy might not come until November 2024, but critical steps in that direction are happening now." washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
It’s not enough to succeed if your community is struggling. You have to try to pull people up with you. I am so proud to announce the launch of the 1619 Freedom School in my hometown of Waterloo, Iowa, labeled in 2018 the worst place in U.S. to be Black. 1619freedomschool.org.
Some very important work from my AAPI colleagues here at @WiedenKennedy. Please watch and share.

Holy. Shit. Boulder, Colorado passed an assault weapons ban in 2018. The NRA sued the city and a judge struck down the ban 10 DAYS GO. The Boulder shooter bought the gun 6 DAYS before the shooting. These deaths were the direct result of the NRA’s intervention.
Real cancel culture is getting locked up for a petty drug case, being too poor to get lawyer, having your public defender convince you to agree to a felony. Then society tell you where you can live, whether or not you can vote & what jobs you can hold for the rest of your life.
This made my heart soar. A family that adopted an African American child have been posting pix of the notable Black women she dresses up to emulate during Black History Month. This is her depiction of Gwen Ifill. I love this. But more importantly, Gwen would have LOVED this
Half of employees who make under $15 an hour get food stamps, Medicaid and welfare. This costs taxpayers $107 billion a year. So instead of paying a few cents more for a hamburger, you're paying billions more to subsidize corporations paying literal poverty wages.
Thank you House managers. You did us all proud. 🇺🇸
