When I learned Sinners was set in Clarksdale, my hometown, I had to write. The film explores the depth of Black life through juke joint. But, here's the hard truth: these sacred spaces in the rural South are disappearing.

if we want to Make America Healthy Again, shouldn't we build affordable housing in mixed use, walkable neighborhoods so ppl can incorporate walking into their daily lives instead of find the time and discipline to go to the gym?

Throughout Los Angeles, ash, smoke, wind & flames are rewriting the landscape & although less publicized, Black history.

My latest gets into what is being lost, & how disaster-capitalism + the collapse of the insurance system will make it so much worse.

the way we're socialized to see violence only as interpersonal—not see state violence (policies that create poverty/kill), structural violence, institutional violence—is very deliberate. same w/ panics about ~shoplifting~ vs how much corporations steal from every single one of us

I'm a South Korean journalist based in New York City. This is a thread about what's happening in South Korea right now after the president declared emergency martial law.

Robert Kagan, the Washington Post’s outgoing editor-at-large, says Donald Trump’s meeting with execs at Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin space company after Bezos killed the newspaper’s endorsement of Kamala Harris is proof there was a backroom deal. https://t.co/vP38T4vGly

I don't think I've ever cried so much working on a story.

Here is Deborah Dorbert, who was forced by @RonDeSantis to give birth to a baby she knew would die, in her own words:

Afro-descendent people have been stewarding the world’s most biodiverse areas for centuries.

This week, Colombia (the most dangerous place in the world for these land defenders) will be hosting #COP16.

Will these communities finally be recognized?

It’s pretty inhuman how this country leaves prisoners to die in every natural disaster, whether that’s a hurricane, heat wave, or pandemic. It’s an extension of the ordinary way that people behind bars are not considered human beings, and there’s hardly ever consequences for it.

MIAMI (AP) — Hurricane Milton is upgraded back to a Category 5 storm as it churns toward Florida's west coast, forecasters say.

Election Day is quickly approaching! For a story, I’m looking to hear from people who recognize climate change as a major threat, but don’t view it as one of their top concerns that'll be influencing their vote. If this sounds like you, DM or send me an email! :) #journorequest

Remarkable how this segment opens with Ta-Nehisi Coates describing how narrative helps shape “who we believe is human, who we don’t believe is human,” and then the entire rest of the segment just proves his point in real-time

A reminder that Black people are 7x more likely to be wrongly convicted of murder than white people and since the late 1980s, Black folks make up more than 50 percent of exonerations.
