Damn, the brother mayor from Montgomery, AL, Steven Reed, just broke it down on #Maddow
These black Southern mayors are making leadership look easy. #Democrats needs to start recognizing the changing and diverse South. MLK, W. E. B. Du Bois, Medgar, and Ms. Parks would be proud

It’s so very disheartening and disappointing, but not at all surprising that when I offered up these books to all my friends the only ones who have shown any interest are Black , Indigenous, and Palestinian...not a single white friend, and I have many.

When I answered the phone, the caller began by asking:
“Is there a ProPublica Michigan?”

She had a story to tell, about a teenage girl who was in juvenile detention for not doing her online schoolwork during the pandemic. The girl was her daughter.

I am a TEACHER. I didn’t just discover students during this campaign. I committed my life to growing our future by cultivating & nurture the seeds of our future as a TEACHER—by choice. It is the most important profession I could ever have undertaken.

Hi pls, I need suggestions on academic articles by Black scholars on Afrofuturism + the Middle Passage? In an online course + looking for alternatives to upcoming reading (Ruth Mayer's "'Africa As an Alien Future': The Middle Passage, Afrofuturism, and Postcolonial Waterworlds.")

I have covered 7 Presidents. I have never seen a POTUS use the Rose Garden or any White House platform to launch a political attack against his opponent for reelection, a campaign rally barely disguised as a faux news conference. All during a pandemic and a recession

@caroranwill @trymainelee @Lawrence @TheLastWord I loved you in this conversation and I also saw you discussing you article. The only thing wrong was that the time was too short. You’re amazing.
It’s about time we acknowledge the truth of the rape culture that is the foundation of this country. Thank you.

Quick thought--we did not "just discover" that Tucker Carlson's head writer was a racist. I mean, have you listened to Tucker Carlson speak on television? This is not new information. What we've discovered is unassailable/blatant PROOF. Still, thrilled he's gone. Just saying. 🤷🏾‍♀️
