#BREAKING: I’m filing a lawsuit against the New York City Police Department to bring an end to its pattern of repeatedly and blatantly violating the rights of New Yorkers. No one is above the law — not even the individuals charged with enforcing it.

“An apology to adopted people for the loss of their identity.” This simple phrase took my breath away. Will I see this in my lifetime? With no #whatabout, no #notall, no comparisons? Just an acknowledgment that the loss of identity is a loss. Period. ⁦⁦@clann_project⁩

This feels wild to say but.... We're not talking about the bombs enough. At least three were found and disarmed yesterday. There is a LOT going on. But it feels like those explosive devices should be a bigger story.

When disability rights protesters peacefully objected to cuts in Medicaid, more than 180 were arrested. @CapitolPolice took down people with physical disabilities. I have not yet found even one marauder or looter handled like these disabled heroes were.

i cant really wrap my head around the fact people who violently breached the building, and trashed it were allowed to just...leave the capitol.

Coup or not, the executive branch today encouraged a militia to attack the seat of the legislative branch and threaten the physical safety of Congress. it's the most alarming thing to happen to the country's constitutional order in 150 years

Whenever I see someone trying to parallel park I avert my eyes and continue walking giving them the privacy they need because I’m a decent human being

This year I've started assigning something I call "Weekly Encounters" where students get credit for telling me how they "encountered" our course content out in the wild. The goal is to help them appreciate how much history is relevant. Here's some of the best responses:

Saying "I don't need to worry about catching COVID because I am young and healthy" is like saying "I don't need to obey traffic laws because I am driving a tank"

Bruce Boynton died today. A lot of people don't know his name but he is evidence of how recent slavery was. It's SUCH a crazy, mindblowing story that's centered on a Black woman who I've argued might be the MOST important person in Civil Rights history A thread.
