“Don’t speak ill of the dead“ means that you don’t stand in the funeral parlor and rehash Auntie Beverly‘s two painful divorces in front of her kids.

At this point in the news cycle, I’m waiting for @levarburton to announce he’s rejected @Jeopardy’s offer and will instead join the faculty of @HowardU

What is happening in CLT regarding The Levine Museum is what happens to the erasure of history, especially BLACK history. Memory is a sacred space and museums should be protecting it.

Grotesque hypocrisy that @GregAbbott_TX banned mask mandates for our kids, enforced mask mandates for his office, got a vaccine booster not available to the public, is getting special healthcare not affordable to most Americans—and blames immigrants for COVID spread. Infuriating.
