As someone directly affected by this, let me be clear: I'd rather lose my job because Harvard chose to fight than keep my job and see a generation of white supremacists parade its corpse around like a war trophy.

It’s the 60th Anniversary of “Bloody Sunday” at Selma, and thus the 10th anniversary of President Obama’s speech there, my favorite of all his public oratory, although it reads differently now. 🧵 time.com/3736357/bara...

The reality behind the whole 51st state thing.
A tweet from Ian Morrison, who has a Canadian flag in his display name, responds to a discussion about U.S. state additions. He states that it would add the "51st through 63rd states" and bring "40 million comparatively leftist voters, 52 leftist representatives, and 26 leftist senators," ensuring that "nobody like Trump would ever get elected again." He ends the tweet with, "Lastly, you can fuck right off."
