As Biden dedicates a monument to Emmett Till, remember that his horrific 1955 lynching isn't ancient history.

Today 18 members of Congress are older than him & the white woman Carolyn Bryant who got him lynched just died this April—all without ever facing a lick of accountability.

Till's story is not ancient history—it's contemporary reality.

Advance, the company that controls Reddit, would be wise to replace the CEO whose mismanagement and arrogance has led moderators of thousands of subreddits to go private in protest.

Put someone in place who realizes that the communities made the service in every way that matters.

Maybe Advance is hoping the protestors will go weak-kneed (as so many people on Twitter have done, sadly) and return.

Moderators, please, please don't back down on this. Stay dark.

(Corrected re extent of strike..)

So listen: I don't love talking about my health in public, but I think I have an important message for anyone who has EVER smoked cigarettes. Unknown to almost everyone, the #2 cause of bladder cancer in men and women, after genetics, is prior smoking. Urologists should be warning everyone that has ever smoked to get a regular cystoscopy, (not painful). In that critical early stage, these cancers can ONLY been seen by visual inspection. That's it.

Jeff Sharlet breaks it down for us. This tweet from Higgins is serious stuff, clear incitement, real & dangerous from an elected Republican (fascist) official.

A target letter is serious business. Less so a Target letter, which is what they send to Matt Gaetz to remind him of his promise to wear pants in the toy aisle from now on.
