hi 🥰 Pls meet our most ambitious project to date, and what I've been working on secretly for over a year now: announcing 63rd House, a 11,250sqft abolitionist community space + new @BlueTinStudio HQ in Chicago Lawn, imagined w/Black & brown organizers: https://t.co/9XgjkaKWYj

5) There is so much more to learn about the myriad ways people coped under almost unimaginable circumstances. I'm excited about the projects I see graduate students undertaking, trying to find ways to illuminate the thoughts and actions of the enslaved.

It actually doesn’t take a “genius” to see that the American housing market is and has always been racist to its core.

This petition for @SundiataAcoli's freedom only needs 700 more signatures to hit the goal he's set. Signing is simple. It takes a minute. He's 84 years old and been incarcerated for almost 50 years. https://t.co/T07UaKFZeK

Important Context: NYC Mayor, Bill de Blasio, now resisting an investigation into violent, white supremacist militia members embedded in the NYPD, has long supported the NYPD labeling mostly young Black people "gang members" based on where they live & the color of their clothes.

When you take out a loan or get a credit card, the headline figure is the "APR" - the annual percentage rate of interest. But anyone who's ever borrowed because they were poor and needed money has learned the hard way that APRs are pure fiction.

Three years ago today, my @PostOpinions colleague Jamal Khashoggi was murdered.

Three years brought a lot of rhetoric and promises from politicians and governments.

But three years later, no justice. We still don't know what happened to Jamal's body.

In the last week I've started to receive inquiries from people running tree planting programs wanting my help. I am suggesting that they shut down their programs. Here I will explain why:

When approaching people who have fears and trepidation about something, particularly folks that I’m in fellowship with, I first acknowledge and honor their feelings before I present an alternate way of viewing a situation. At least in that approach, respect is still on the table.

THREAD. This is one of the most disturbing stories I have seen in a long time: a huge corporation that profits from separating parents from their children and then charging monopoly prices for jail phone calls is partnering with Sesame Street.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

In no functioning democracy does a legislative body refuse to enact policy that has overwhelming majority support. These dynamics reflect how the ruling class has manipulated the system to ensure corporations, not voters, have the most direct influence on policy.

My fondness for investigative reporter Carole Cadwalladr and Dr. Emma Briant, a researcher and professor, led me to spend an hour with them on the third installment of the “PSA Media and Politics Group Seminar: Power, Politics, and Media.”

Thread. What is happening right now at the New York Times is important and dangerous. I've tried to document it thoroughly below.

don't trust any official or entity that carried out the historic rise of mass human caging for the past 40 years. when we see the senseless horrors of the punishment bureaucracy, we must see the broader lesson: these are the tools people who own things use to control and extract.

a remarkable referendum today: Berlin voters by a comfortable margin voted that the city should expropriate housing from large landlords (that have at least 3,000 units) & socialize those units.

Roughly 200,000 units fit that description.

[Scott Hechinger @ScottHech]

Understand what is happening here. Thousands were vetted & released from federal prison during COVID. Varying charges. Now back w/ families. Jobs. Stability. Biden planning to reincarcerate all except those w/ drug convictions. This is senseless politics. https://t.co/s3D2HXljHA

Of the 710 Natives who went missing in Wyoming between 2011 and 2020, 57% were female and 85% were children — You would’ve known this had the mainstream media did its job with more inclusivity.
