He put this as succinctly — and irrefutably — as one can put it. Shouldn’t be courageous to say it when becoming the first Black anything in an organization, and yet it is courageous. Colorblindness is nothing but willful blindness.

[Leah Goodridge @leahfrombklyn]

I don’t think we talk enough about the long term political implications of the Black exodus out of NYC.

When a large swath of deep blue voters continually leave Northeast for blue dots in red states, their political influence is diluted.

I talk about that w/ @freedomrideblog.

@cres_guez I'm so sorry for your loss.

Welp—Remember how @CDCgov claimed there was no “outbreak” at their CDC conference 3 weeks ago? ➡️Now we learn 181 cases of #COVID19 arose of 1800+ CDC staffers/guests…. So basically 1 in 10 folks at a single CDC conference caught COVID. Yet @CDCDirector Walensky dismantles reporting and they gaslight us it was nothing. #CovidIsNotOver

The staff of the @TexasObserver have set up a @gofundme to ask for help after the board voted to shutter the magazine. Please give if you can’t and share even if you can’t. https://t.co/9SxBNkqT7C

On February 3, a horrifying railroad accident took place. A Norfolk Southern freight train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio. You might've seen images of the flames, but you probably haven't heard that unions were trying to prevent this exact accident. 🧵

[Astrid Galván @astridgalvan]

you have to scroll down A LOT on *some* of the top US news sites to find a story about how the white nationalist who killed 23 people and injured dozens more in el paso in an attempt to "stop" the "hispanic invasion" pleaded guilty today to 90 counts of federal hate crimes

To everyone complaining abt College Board's AP AfAm Studies catering to Florida, here to tell you, this is not a 1st for them. They've done this time and again, w/APUSH in 2014-15, with AP World a couple of yrs later. #CollegeBoard is abt making bank, not cutting-edge education.

[CiCi🌸 @CiCiAdams_]

Really sad, devastating news. A water pipe burst on Friday and ruined a LOT of books at Third World Press, the country's oldest Black-owned publishing company.

They've launched a flood fund to get back on their feet. Please consider donating.

Keenan Anderson—a 31-year-old high school teacher & father—stopped LA police for help after an accident. They instead cuffed him, pinned him, & tased him repeatedly as he begged them to stop.

Keenan died of cardiac arrest from excessive tasing.

His crime—asking police for help.

[Travon Free @Travon]

The LAPD murdered Keenan Anderson. A beloved high school English teacher and father who FLAGGED THEM DOWN FOR HELP after a car accident. He was a threat to no one. He needed help and it cost him his life. The LAPD must be held accountable for this at all costs. #KeenanAnderson

It’s been 30+ years since a federal law began requiring museums, universities & agencies to begin returning human remains and funerary objects to Native American tribes.

Here are some institutions still holding thousands: 🧵👇
