Katie Phang visits the Donald J. Trump Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room, an exhibition that displays the 3,437 volumes of The Epstein Files.

“Each of them weighs about 5 lb. … 3.5 million files bound into 800-page volumes. Altogether, it weighs about 17,000 lb.”

Finally made a sort of pretty page for the Audre Lorde interviews on my website. Watch them and enjoy!

It was said that Black women saved democracy in 2020. Now many say it’s white women’s turn to join with their sisters and do the same. My latest: “How Will White Women Vote? It’s a Question With a Fraught History.” - The New York Times https://t.co/1AJc8UEKdx

I founded the @C4JDHowardU at @HowardU for this moment. This is why I’ve called on the profession to discard neutrality and explicitly engage in pro-democracy journalism. Earlier this month, we hosted experts on oligarchy on campus at our Democracy Summit to help equip journalists to cover the way billionaires are eroding democracy. We are witnessing this in real time.

Rule number one: Do not obey in advance. Rule number two: Democracy requires a free press, but a free press also REQUIRES democracy.

The entire summit can be viewed here:

The right time to call what Elon Musk is doing on Twitter "election interference" is now.

He's posting data he knows is false to be seen by hundreds of millions—then ensuring it receives no Community Note. In a healthy democracy what he's doing would at least be a civil offense.

I knew a book about Audre Lorde by *THE* @alexispauline would be earth-shattering, mind-bending, unpredictable in great ways, but...Buckle up. It's nothing like I imagined-because it's so much better, more intriguing, & radically thoughtful than this mere mortal could have hoped.

I was in the room at #nabj when Donald Trump told 1000s of Black journalists that VP Kamala Harris had just recently “turned” Black. So, I wrote about the historical amnesia at play: “It seems that when a mixed-race Black American appears to be ascending to the pinnacles of American power, some white Americans suddenly forget the race rules that white society created.” https://t.co/RSqVZ6V4yl

Nimarata Nikki Randhawa ran as Nikki Haley

Piyush Jindal ran as Bobby Jindal

Raphael Cruz ran as Ted Cruz

Meanwhile—Barack Obama ran as Barack Obama & Kamala Harris is running as Kamala Harris & MAGAs accuse Dems of identity politics

Every MAGA accusation is a confession
