U.S. president-elect Joe Biden has indicated plans to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline permit via executive action on his first day in office, sources tell CBC News.

Clock ticking. 2 years until Republicans can take back both houses of Congress. The most important branch of government is not Congress or the presidency. It's the judiciary for they have life appointment. Mitch McConnell understood this

which is why he snatched that Supreme Court appointment from Obama & used Trump to pack the courts w/conservatives. Now Biden & Democrats must respond in kind & make good on a threat FDR made decades ago. PACK THE SUPREME COURT NOW while you have the chance. I say go to 19-

justices & then start term limits of 8 years after all 19 die. No 1 deserves a life appointment for anything. There is no accountability for people w/life appointments. They can do whateva the fuck they want & there is nothing U can do about it. Notice I said after all 19 die.

This would guarantee Biden is able 2 make a serious stamp on the country's future & possible make a complete judiciary break from white supremacy or the judiciary coddling of white supremacy. Never 4get Obama appointed judges who acquitted or let off cops who killed black people.

Congressmen 2 yrs, Presidents 4yrs, Senators 6 yrs & Supreme Court Justices 8 yrs would be a better formula for good government. Supreme Court justices & other federal judges are the true royalty in this country as they serve for life & the ability to remove them by impeachment-

With Biden preparing to take office today, a short reflection about being in higher ed teaching media courses the past four years: 1/

One of the core memories I have of the 2016 campaign were the class discussions. Most of my students feared Trump winning, but didn’t think it’d happen. He was a clown. Voters weren’t that dumb. Etc. 2/

What that belief did is create space for privilege that came out in discussions (bear in mind a lot of my students are white). I had a *lot* of students disaffected and ambivalent about the choice. They didn’t read political coverage. Both sides were the same. A lot of that. 3/

The morning after the election, I had a lot of distraught students. I had about 15 in a class of 30 email me that they weren’t sure they could come to class that. I was distraught myself. I couldn’t blame them.

So I want to tell you a story I haven’t told anyone before. 4/

About an hour before class, my then-colleague Dr. Imaani El-Burki came into the office. She has since taken another position, but at the time she was our joint appointed professor in journalism and Africana Studies.

She’s an amazing person and I wish you could know her. 5/

A THREAD ON HOW BIDEN WON THE ELECTION: This is for all the people that don’t understand how Biden could possibly win and why Trump lost other than the fact that he just did so much wrong #WeirdoTrump

First, we have to realize that all of Trumps lawsuits aren’t actually claiming fraud. He’s trying overturn the elections in court through technicalities within mail-in voting because he knows that he lost the mail in votes by an extensive margin.

On election night, Trump tried to prematurely claim victory due to the fact that most states counted in person ballots first, then early and then mail in. Trump knew this and was trying to make it seem that the results on election night represented the country as a whole /2

when it really just represented those who voted in person on Election Day, which tends to favor republicans heavily. Trump knew this would happen and knew that his numbers would dwindle throughout the next few days when mail-in and early ballots would begin to be counted. /3

Nearly all counting, opening, and scanning rooms had cameras available to the public. His few claims of fraud are based on little video evidence but rather what people say. Which would be trustworthy, if they claimed fraud in court, which they don’t. He has used all of these /4

1. According to Charlie Ward, right now there was no legal US President because B*iden was elected president of US Inc. and US Inc. has been dissolved because of their bankruptcy that finalized Nov. 2 2020.

1. Inauguration and Your Character, Anonymous: It's truly fascinating. Many patriots, upon seeing Joe B*iden sworn in on TV — nothing but a theatrical production, of course — have lost their minds and surrendered to defeat. They had hoped that military arrests of B*iden would...
