History is replete with white women making false accusations resulting in the torture and lynching of Black men. It's for this very reason I look askance at the "believe all women" demands of #MeToo. As a Black woman, I say let's not rush to judgment before learning the facts of the matter.

The South, where crossing state lines to get illegal fireworks is not story worthy unless it involves a trip to the hospital later.

When a Republican is president he can incite a violent insurrection on social media with lies about a stolen election and when a democrat is president he is ordered by some hillbilly judge in Louisiana to stop contacting social media companies all together.

"To many people, school is about preparing learners for '21st century jobs.' Yet, there is no way that we can know what those jobs are. 10 years ago, I could not have described my job. It didn't exist. It is the heights of hubris and arrogance to think that we know what the jobs of 15 years from now will be." #makered #makerspace

Fallacious gun nut argument: British cops never stopped a mass shooting with their billy clubs.

Response: British cops never had to stop a mass shooting, because the only mass shooting in modern British history ended with a suicide, and was followed by strict gun control that has had the result of 27 years without a single mass shooting.
