"My mentor always tells me, 'Kim, dogs don’t bark at parked cars." They’re coming after critical race theory, 1619, intersectionality because these ideas mobilized people. They gave them the language to actually articulate what they were seeing with their own eyes," says Kimberlé Crenshaw.

This is why Epstein's vote was so significant.
As you can see, it began with 4 Republican House defectors.
Only 4. The same amount we'd need for Impeachment.
The evidence grew. The pressure mounted. 4 turned into 70, which turned into a cascading 223 Republicans defying Trump.
The Senate: 100% 🧵

I love this so hard—Monica Green doing a thread on women in medicine lost to bad image capture and conjecture. Read the whole! 🧪🗃️
Oh wow! This is what happens when you're photographing MSS & don't capture the text in the inner gutter. 1st, here's the photograph (made about 100 yrs ago) of the Codex Salernitanus, f. 82ra. Although that big tear of the page is obvious, the inner gutter hasn't been fully captured in the photo.
