Water been wet a long time. You won't catch me being shocked, sad, or disappointed about it.

[Melissa Harris-Perry @MHarrisPerry]

Hey @SankofaFarms! Thank you for sending videos for our @wakeForest class on Race, Land and Power today. Hearing from you was perfect for our discussion of #BlackLand loss and resilience in NC. Syllabus link is here. https://t.co/2XomPI0T0V

For most people it's birthdays & holidays when they send & receive messages with all the far flung friends, colleagues, relatives, and others.
Apparently for me it's #electionday that leads to all the calls, texts, nudges, photos, memories & sharing.
Kinda loving it.

Remember, Democracy is Indigenous. Our ancestors showed us what true democracy looks like - respect, reciprocity & collective decision-making. Let's honor them by voting for Tribal Sovereignty, Climate Justice, Healthcare & Reproductive Rights, and Education! #NativesVote2024

In order to vote in his first election, my father paid a poll tax. My dad. Not my great great grandfather, my father. He is very much still alive. He voted today. No poll tax required. I am so proud to his daughter.

[Library of Congress @librarycongress]

Something to ponder as you head out to vote today, for free. In the Library's Rosa Parks Papers collection, there's a receipt for the poll tax she had to pay to vote in Alabama in 1956. Poll taxes, a Jim Crow-era voter suppression tool, were not abolished federally until 1964.

When you stop by @HowardU to see your niece, who is a senior, but stumble on a Black Feminist Theory class and end up giving an impromptu lecture.
