“Reparations “means different things to different people, so fixating on that term I think can be counterproductive,” Tomiko Brown-Nagin, the committee chair and dean of the Harvard Radcliffe Institute, said in an interview.” — PolitiTweet.org

“The committee report says the Legacy of Slavery Fund is “a necessary predicate to and foundation for redress,” but does not call for direct financial reparations to descendants of enslaved people.” — PolitiTweet.org

“The report contains broad recommendations for how the money in the newly created fund should be spent. The Harvard Corporation has authorized the allocation, and the funds are on hand, officials said, but the final details are still to be worked out.” — PolitiTweet.org

Let me rephrase that for you. Breaking: Harvard- a school with over $50 billion just announced it’s going to be putting $100 million into itself to study something it already knows it was complicit in, was wrong and has already studied for years. Might as well burn the money. — PolitiTweet.org

.@anemonanyc please do a follow up story on this next year and tell us what Harvard has actually done? All too often schools make promises like this and then basically nothing happens and they just get great free good PR. All for literally doing nothing but announcing a “plan” — PolitiTweet.org

@NoMalarkeyMika @nytimes @anemonanyc Good question! — PolitiTweet.org

@DenairIsaac Oh the endowment has a lot more than that from slavery. Wayyyyy more lots of Harvard’s early $ came from slavery and piracy. — PolitiTweet.org

@Nicelyg @nytimes @anemonanyc There are some pretty conservative professors on campus too. See our stem and economics departments. — PolitiTweet.org

@nytimes @anemonanyc If you don’t know what I’m talking about talk with some students at Georgetown about what the school has actually done with it reparations program. — PolitiTweet.org

Journalists need to do a better job of not just giving the schools great PR when they announce these things- they need to follow up. I’ve seen the story way too many times where a school announces something that seems like a great first step and then basically nothing happens. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

Harvard students need to make sure this isn’t a repeat of the same story that’s happened at so many other schools. Where they announce some thing regarding reparations for slavery get a ton of positive PR and then nothing happens. — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenSchumer young people voted at the highest rate in American history and helped be part of the coalition that gave you the majority you now have. Now it’s time for you to come through on your promise to us and introduce universal background checks. https://t.co/fiBVz9kdpp — PolitiTweet.org

The only thing that I thought to myself when I would get these threats back when I was 17 and 18 was if you shoot and kill me you prove my point. Which in hindsight is such a fucked up thought for an 18 year old to need to have — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

Thankfully most of the threats and stocking have subsided in the past couple of years as I focused on school and increasingly become irrelevant (thank god) — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

These threats are also the same reason I felt it necessary to give myself a buzz cut freshman year in order to change my appearance as much as possible given that I was living on campus. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

When they do that you need to condemn them. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

However you need to understand that when the NRA does help perpetuate conspiracy theories about us being George Soros paid crisis actors they may not be sending the threats directly but they are inspiring some of the threats. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

Reasonable conservatives I know do not agree with such actions even if they don’t agree with me and they condemn such actions however there is no denying many of these people are conservative NRA supporters. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

The same ones who are also the reason why I can’t post basically any of my friends on social media for fear of them getting threatened? — PolitiTweet.org

@jrob2583 My family has them were gun owners and I’ve been shooting guns since 4th grade. Liberals own guns too we just don’t dance around with them because of our own insecurity. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

Yes you have a right to freedom of speech you do not have a right to fucking threaten me, my family or my friends just because you don’t agree with them. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

They’re also the reason why I’ve had to learn how to take different routes home drive down cul-de-sacs and see who drives by and why there’s a ridiculous number of protocols I have to follow around campus when I’m doing something as simple as going to class. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

There’s horrible shit that has happened and terrible threats that I’ve gotten that I don’t talk about because I don’t want more of them to happen. Just because I don’t talk about them daily doesn’t mean they aren’t happening. — PolitiTweet.org

David Hogg ☮️ @davidhogg111

The worst part is I’m not alone by family members and many fellow activists have gotten these threats. — PolitiTweet.org
