Friends here worked with her in community organizing. Just wow. Important suggestions in the thread of what she needs to do instead of that BS “apology” #JessicaKrug #JessLaBombera

[Yarimar Bonilla 👩🏾‍💻 @yarimarbonilla]

She consistently trashed WOC and questioned their scholarship. She even described my colleague Marisa Fuentes as a "slave catcher" in the introduction to her book. Kind of amazing how white supremacy means she even thought she was better at being a person of color than we were.

Many are asking themselves how #JessicaKrug managed to fool anyone into believing she was Afro Latina. Well, let me tell you: we were both fellows at the Schomburg and I suppose she fooled me. (a thread 🧵)

President Trump: "I think mail-in voting is horrible, it's corrupt."

Reporter: "You voted by mail in Florida's election last month, didn't you?"

Trump: "Sure. I can vote by mail"

Reporter: "How do you reconcile with that?"

Trump: "Because I'm allowed to."

1/7 - Our investigation, "Land-Grab Universities," reveals how Indigenous land was turned into seed money for U.S. colleges: 10.7 million acres taken from nearly 250 tribes through over 160 violence-backed land cessions for the benefit of 52 universities. https://t.co/nR2xKiXgLr

"This friendly match is more than just a game between athletes from New York and Hamburg, this match is a statement of defiance, of independence, and in our humble opinions, an expression of great love" - @CosmosAFA & @FCStPauliNYC

@TimothyAKelly @jcassano Time? Sounds fascinating!

I use “How to Write About Africa” in my ADW class. It’s a masterful satire and helps students unlearn and question what they’ve been taught about Africa. RIP Binyavanga Wainaina https://t.co/0msFWdDVYP

Also relevant to us in the US.

New data shows that the number of active white supremacist groups in Canada has DOUBLED over the last three years.

Enough of single-issue organizing; anti-racism is not a side or secondary or wedge issue. We need to make it *central* and relevant to all our work.

It often seems the universities that market their "diversity" the hardest are the ones with the worst track records of driving out faculty who take any sort of social justice stand in their scholarship or campus roles--esp. faculty of color. No doubt these tendencies are related.

I wanted to see if anyone from our industry would speak out about the abortion bill, but I guess people are too scared. This isn't just an issue for women, it's one for every human being. We fight for equality and this is something men should fight for and not hide away from.
