They never seem to consider that they are getting this wrong. That it may be unwise to treat a grassroots that helped deliver them a historic midterm victory as if they are some annoyance, possibly negating their key advantage vs. Trump. @jbouie, on point. nyti.ms/2R25yu1

There shouldn’t be another news story featuring McConnell praise for Trump that doesn’t bring up the fact that his wife is a Cabinet Secretary in the president’s administration, let alone the special help his wife gave McConnell to help him get re-elected. politi.co/2R3DJS4

Elaine Chao runs @USDOT, and she sent a special liaison to help her husband Mitch McConnell secure grants totaling $78 million as he prepared for re-election. So, Trump’s top henchman on the Hill got help from one of his Cabinet officials to stay in power. politi.co/2R2iobR

I wrote recently that just four years after Barack Obama’s presidency, the White House hopes of his running mate will likely depend upon the electorate being afraid to take a chance on someone who isn’t a white man. @jemelehill carried that notion further. on.theatln.tc/61kWwdo

The folks who are going to ignore all polling just “because 2016” kill me. I have never presumed that polls were infallible, even before that election. But “Hillary lost” is hardly conclusive evidence for mothballing the entire practice of polling. Some of y’all scare too easily.

This is not the only poll like this, and they all kill the “electability” argument. There are people who would have voters believe that only a white man can win this election. The hopes of some candidates rely heavily upon that notion. Don’t buy it, folks. Choose who you like. twitter.com/ryanstruyk/sta…

“Behind me, a filled room of 9/11 first responders, and in front of me, a nearly empty Congress. Sick and dying, they brought themselves down here to speak — to no one. Shameful. It’s an embarrassment to the country and it’s a shame on this institution.” rol.st/2IaMeYR

"...the fallout since Netflix premiered [When They See Us] on May 31st has focused a bit too heavily on the story’s human villains rather than its invisible ones." @JamilSmith on why we should focus on the bigger systemic issues, not just Linda Fairstein.

I know you were going for a snarky quip, but I didn’t write above that Twitter “improved” my life. I wrote that it changed it immeasurably. Not quite the same thing. Life was pretty good before and after, thanks. But I hope that you made yourself laugh, at least.

Terrible news. I valued Simon’s courage, intelligence, and moral clarity, and will miss following his work. My deepest condolences to his wife, children, colleagues, and to everyone else who loved him.

It seems @JoeBiden isn’t making a real argument for the presidency and is just gaslighting instead. @CoryBooker said it well Sunday: “Beating Donald Trump is the floor—it is not the ceiling. Beating him will get us out of the valley but it will not get us to the mountaintop.” twitter.com/samstein/statu…

I wrote about the remarkable fallout from WHEN THEY SEE US, and why after seeing the miniseries it is just as important to lift up names like Kalief Browder as it is to curse those like Linda Fairstein. She should be shamed, but the best revenge is reform. rol.st/2QYD1Wf

Linda Fairstein wrote an op-ed that defames both the men who were exonerated of the rape she charged them with in 1989 and the filmmakers who just told their story. Find and read it if you can without giving @WSJ the clicks. It is a textbook exercise in obstinacy and malevolence.

Every black voter who is convinced that Joe Biden will save them from Trump should read @jemelehill and reconsider their choices. “Electability” does not equal “old, white, and male,” nor is it embodied merely by someone who was in a prior administration. on.theatln.tc/61kWwdo

I opened this @Twitter account 10 years ago today. This can be an awful place—but it has changed my life immeasurably. It quite literally altered my career and brought countless friends into my life. Thanks for the follow, as they say, and for reading my words here and elsewhere.

I’m watching @Oprah interview @ava about WHEN THEY SEE US. If you don’t mind reading an interview of Ava done by someone who has considerably fewer accomplishments, read her conversation with me: rol.st/2EGPJ77 pic.twitter.com/QEXEP9keE8
