We made a documentary - I’m Not Racist... Am I? - and we screen it around the US to get people learning about, connecting, and doing something about racism. Reach out if you want to bring the film to your community. youtu.be/ejffWMkvhmY
Come on. My bro & I share screenshots of how we get Wordle each day. Today, we each had a different one. His 3rd of 4th guess was my answer. I’m annoyed. I liked that we were all working toward the same goal! Anyone have an alt take?

Today’s word of the day: Sprakkar = Icelandic for “Extradordinary Woman.”🔥Thx to my fellow sprakkar @cewigginton for sharing this with me. Let the sprakkars in your life know how much you appreciate them! @MorningEdition @LeilaFadel npr.org/2022/02/09/107945606…
I just shared this exact clip in a meeting among educators. ❤️ “I think we have much to learn from [children] if we could just give ourselves a moment of humility to listen a little more.”

I mean, of course. Instead of paying the fair share of taxes that would bolster traditional public schools, billionaire philanthropists get to decide which schools are funded.

Really looking forward to this! Congrats @KielyBrendan!
On Thursday with @KidsandProse, bestselling author @KielyBrendan discusses THE OTHER TALK, a conversation on why allyship is so vital and how we can all start doing our part, with @JasonReynolds83 (Ages 12+) bit.ly/3lQuiFA
Hi, @washingtongas! I need to move service but website won’t let me complete request & says to call. I’ve been on hold 1 hr/57min. I’ve run several errands; plus my kids & I have choreographed an interpretive dance & written lyrics to hold music. How much longer is wait time?

Here’s a fun exercise in Critical Race Theory:
In the entire history of this nation, name 3 issues concerning race, equality or freedom where a majority of white people were on the right side of history AND black people turned out to be wrong.
Follow me for more brain teasers.

This is damn near impossible. It's like asking: "Can you briefly explain how the universe works?"
However, there are some things people should know.
A thread.
Mass attacks in schools can be prevented. @SecretService & @lina_alathari have done the most research on how to do this. Watch and learn steps WE ALL can take, not only to intervene, but to make communities stronger overall.

Louis Saxton was inside the King Soopers seconds before the shooting happened.
As he was walking out, someone told him to run.
Today he returned to the store with his cello.
“Music puts me in my happy place,” he told me. “I just want to share that with people.” #9News

Last night's shooting & the appalling rise of anti-Asian violence stem frm a sick society where nationalism has again been stoked & normalized. Anti-Black & anti-Asian racism & violence run in tandem in the U.S. Both grps were brought here for labor but never meant to be citizens

I teach a course on race in legal history. I always teach Asian American history in that course because you cannot teach serious history of US law as an instrument of racial injustice without the history of Asian Americans...

hi, I wrote this today. I am very tired of Congress giving money to police departments after they kill poor Black people.
