He's on Rev Al dealing with assholes like Irving

5. Well worth it

[Laffy Kat]

3. He's brilliant. nt

4. Brilliant, coherent and

consistent. He has never changed. The other thing I love about him is his honesty and willingness to give others credit - like the organizers of the George Floyd protests across the USA and the globe. Said they were way more organized than his generation of activists.

6. I got to hear Kareem and John Lewis talk voting rights at the Philadelphia covention

I have great pictures of John Lewis and Kareem speaking and coming into the conference room.

Kareem is amazing

7. Incredible writer, too!

His op-ed pieces are always fantastic. He's got such an organized mind, he can present arguments in a way easy to understand and difficult to counter. And he doesn't suffer fools, which is even better.

8. His Mycroft Holmes books are really good too!

Great stories, and more diverse characters than your usual traditional Sherlock Holmes pastiche. The first one takes place mostly in Trinidad!

11. Did you know that his grandparents were from Trinidad and Tobago?

They arrived in the US in 1917.

12. I didn't know that, thanks!

No wonder he wrote about it so lovingly, he's got a family connection!

10. Agree

And he doesn't suffer fools, which is even better.
