**Our area needed a mass vaccination site. 2 sites were identified. One wanted $15K and the other $25K PER MONTH (lease). A local entrepreneur (and philanthropist) stepped forward not only providing a site, he did renovations. His lease? $1. I want his name known: ❤️Sunil Puri.

So I've been stuck on the camera policy for my Zoom classes. I totally get the worries about student privacy and invasiveness. But I also know that my teaching gets radically worse when I'm facing mostly all black squares. So this time, I tried complete honesty. Report-thread:

Senate Republicans just refused to convict a president who incited a deadly insurrection against the U.S. government. Their cowardly betrayal will be remembered for the rest of history, but we can't let it be the end of the story. Here's how Trump can still be held accountable:

So strange how early in the process there was a two-thirds vote to find Trump guilty and then they just kept “finding” all these other senators to vote not guilty.

I knew Trump's speech urging supporters to march on the Capitol, and his tweet attacking Pence as violence began. Also knew his semi-call for peace that repeated election lies. But I'd missed that at 6:01pm 1/6, he also justified and celebrated his attack. From the House brief:

I hope all my 1.1M followers watch this explanation and retweet it right away. The argument it makes is crucial to our survival as a free, self-governing people 👇🏼
The Senate must convict Donald Trump and defend our democracy.

I’m still seeing quite a few posts asking why Joe Biden has “a Chinese bodyguard”. He doesn’t. That is David Cho, he is Korean-American, one of the most respected and experienced members of the Secret Service who has worked for administrations both Republican and Democrat.

Ok y’all I have something to say. When I gave birth in a teaching hospital, about 30 different people gave me a cervix exam. Years later, I realized that it has sexually traumatized me. I want you to know that you can deny allowing students to learn on you.

Retweet if you think trying to violently overthrow our democracy should result in some consequences.

I’m with you. Beautiful work. These people are misguided, lost, and afraid. They have nothing to do with what Frank stands for or is about. Big love. J.

If you rob a bank but don't intend to harm anyone, but people get harmed it's worse and so is the punishment. But the crime is still bank robbery even if there's no violence. That's how to think about Trump's attempted heist of the election. latimes.com/opinion/story/20…

The officer tricked the Capitol mob into missing the unguarded door to the Senate, leading them away. Dude deserves a medal.
The officer initially scopes out the door, sees it's not guarded, and tries to block the way. More rioters pour up the stairs after them, and the officer seems to go with a new strategy – he shoves the first rioter, pissing him off, and then leads the whole mob the other way.

They weren’t elected. They built the square. Build your own.
Who elected Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg to dictate the terms of our 21st-century town square?

Sixers coach @DocRivers: "You know I’ll say it because I don’t think a lot of people want to. Could you imagine today if those were all Black people storming the Capital and what would have happened? You know, so that to me is a picture that's worth a 1,000 words to all of us.”
