Not surprised by what Ongama said because whilst we were busy joining and leading student political groups at RU in the early 2000s, he was a leader of a staunch born-again Christian society.

The only reason to have social capital is to spend it when it matters most.
Ta Nehisi Coates has a lot of social capital with American liberals and by speaking in defense of Palestinian rights he is spending it.

The xenophobia in this country is unbelievable. It's absolutely disgusting that a child was kidnapped, and all we're asking for is to share the post. Yet people respond with anger, ignorance, and xenophobic accusations against the mother. I hate it here.
