Of all the places Trump could go to prove he's no racist
President Trump spoke on Tuesday in Jamestown, Virginia, to commemorate the 400th anniversary of American democracy -- the year that Virginia, the first English colony, held its first General Assembly of representatives. But this year marks another anniversary: it marks the 400th year the first enslaved Africans were brought to America -- specifically to Jamestown. Trump acknowledged how slavery was a "barbaric trade in human lives ... we honor every sacred soul." But my mother's grandfather was born enslaved in South Carolina, and the President has not spent his time in office honoring our ancestors. He has spent his time insulting us.

950 miles in two days. Taking an electric road trip in a Tesla
In 2013, I drove a Tesla Model S from Washington, DC, to Boston. Back then, the trip was a sensation as we tweeted about our progress and bloggers followed along. Tesla's Supercharger network of charging stations barely qualified as a network. The car I was driving had 270 miles of range, which seemed like a whole lot at the time. But there were no Superchargers at all in the entire state of New Jersey, which made it an arid electricity desert. We made it through, but only after stopping for a conference call with Tesla engineers to decide whether we should go around or through New York City. (We decided it was best to go around.)
