Below are my Sancti-Fly Tweets of the week. I cruise around Twitter sometimes and shine a light on some random tweets I think are really significant or funny.
Josh Marshall
More It's comically appropriate in its stupidity and hypocrisy that President Trump is considering pardon for Muhammad Ali (actually there's no conviction to pardon) while railing and raging against players like Colin Kaepernick. Remember what Ali was (at first) convicted of.
Muhammad Ali is trending on Twitter today because his name is the greatest! Okay just kidding but he is the greatest boxer of all time! It is trending because President Trump is considering pardoning him although Muhammad Ali is no longer with us. Plus, his conviction was overturned by the United States Supreme Court in 1971. Josh Marshall disagreed with President Trump in light of no pardons to pardon. There were a host of tweets regarding this hot subject. I could not resist just posting only one.
Keith Boykin
Instead of fake pardoning Muhammad Ali, Trump should: 1. Apologize to the Central Park Five. 2. Instruct DOJ to re-instate President Obama's sentence reduction policy for low-level drug offenders. 3. Push for comprehensive prison reform, sentencing reform and drug law reform.
Keith Boykin advocated for more criminal justice reform from President Trump "instead of fake pardoning” of Muhammad Ali. Do you agree with Mr. Boykin? Equality & Justice please have your way today, yesterday and tomorrow!
Daniel Dale
Trump’s idea to pardon Muhammad Ali is confusing. The Supreme Court overturned his conviction in 1971. And in 1977 Jimmy Carter granted a blanket pardon to draft evaders.
Mr. Dale states how perplexing it all is to have President Trump issue the possibility of a pardon for Muhammad Ali.
Shaun King
it’s genuinely baffling to see people who love Muhammad Ali but hate Colin Kaepernick. Or how people hate Black Lives Matter but quote Dr. King and call him their hero. At the peak of their protests, both men were widely hated by millions of Americans.
The last tweet on Muhammad Ali is from Shaun King. Shaun has an interesting point. I surmise you can like one and dislike the other, right? The point is Ali, King and Kaepernick fought for and was (is) fighting for basic human rights; fairness, racial justice and equality. Is it possible for you to see that in one and not recognize it in another?

Chris Cillizza
The suicides of Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade this week are a reminder: No matter how successful, wealthy or seemingly happy you are, we all battle our own demons. Reach out to one another. Destigmatize depression, addiction and anxiety. We are all in this together.
Mr. Cillizza is absolutely correct. Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain's suicides are an important notice for us all to be more mindful of others; be kinder! It doesn’t cost anything to initiate concern towards your fellow brothers and sisters who may be going through what Kate and Anthony were struggling with. You never know what folks are going through.
Shaun King
4 ways I hope we will live our lives to honor Anthony Bourdain.... 1. Search out good food. Eat it. Tell everybody. 2. Find cultures other than your own. Value the people. Tell their stories. Lift them up. 3. Travel like crazy. 4. Speak out unapologetically on injustice.
Shaun King tweeted about the goodness of Anthony Bourdain and various ways to keep his memory alive. I didn’t know he was a famous chef. Social media will definitely keep you abreast on people and all things.

I really like what Mr. AlfonzoWords did in this tweet. This Friday Feeling tweet is all about self-love as Mr. Love, AlfonzoWords ask us to describe what we are. I am a Sancti-Fly Mama! What are you? This is probably silly to some but it will make you feel good about yourself.
