And on the flip side, African women appropriating from white Westerners (including support from down in southern cracker LIttle Rock Arkansas, believe it or not. Terrible, ain't it? Guess some of "us" supremacists didn't get the memo)

Just met with the Kabule Womens Beekeepers Group in Zambia. By moving from traditional to modern bee hives (& methods) honey quality, quantity and incomes are improved. 2 yrs since my last visit & the women are now expanding supply & training other beekeepers in the area! pic.twitter.com/t3raC5Bmli

Yes, as the main piece on Arlan Hamilton showed, not that the 2nd example were "colonizers" by any use of the word.

It could be said that ContraPoints videos debunk pernicious ideologies the way that Snopes articles debunk false rumors, but that comparison sells Natalie Wynn short.

A homophobic conservative Christian turns out to be a self-loathing gay man, living a life of deception, hiding in the closet, and being dishonest with everybody. Such a life must be a terrible burden, and a horrible way to live one’s life. https://t.co/lWeJKRuqyP

Now we know why DOJ hid Whitaker’s financial disclosures. Something is VERY rotten in Denmark & we’re going to get to the bottom of it. We’re legally entitled to the versions of these reports that existed on the date we requested them, Nov. 7. See below for our first response. /1 https://t.co/Q7tCXWs4N0

Just learned about this tonight. It's shocking. In 2007, a law took effect: if you worked in public services & made student loan payments on time for 10 years, you'd get loan forgiveness. In 2017, first wave of people became eligible. Guess what Trump did?https://t.co/XgRYUVdS8j
