  1. I just listened to a #podcast from @progresstx where they were suggesting that #BlackAthletes choose an #HBCU over an #SEC #university because, #football.

    I used their "Connect with us" form to point out that this isn't on Black athletes to solve. White students — athletes and non-athletes — should consider alternatives, especially #HBCUs, too. Sometimes we don't have #options, but when we do, we should choose intentionally.

    I'm attending a state school because I'm #disabled and my tuition and fees are waived. So I understand that not everyone has this option.

  5. Was watching Democracy Docket, w smart guests. Two things:
    1) The #Callais decision is for minority representation what the #DredScott decision was for citizenship & due process (so #Congress passed the 14th, 15th #Amendments). The fix here is a slog.
    2) Marc Elias predicts GOP attacking white districts if represented by a minority. They'll claim that SCOTUS has backed them up, which is true.
