Kalief Browder! My own story! The names change, but the injustice stays the same when we turn our backs on reform. We can't go back to the blindfold era. We must protect the progress we’ve made on discovery.
In the "personal news" department, this morning I let my colleagues know that I'm leaving The Washington Post. I'm retiring from my longtime journalistic home but not from journalism, and I'll keep you posted as I decide what my next chapter will be.
#OTD Nov 23, 1733, 150 enslaved cane workers from Akwamu (present-day Ghana) revolted against the owners and managers of the island's plantations.
An Akwamu chief, King June, an enslaved foreman on the field of the Sødtmann estate, led the rebellion. Other leaders were Kanta, King Bolombo, Prince Aquashie and Breffu. Lasting several months, the rebellion was one of the earliest and longest enslaved revolts in the Americas. The Akwamu captured the fort in Coral Bay and took control of most of the island. They intended to resume crop production under their own control and use Africans of other tribes as enslaved labor. Planters regained control by the end of May 1734, after the Akwamu were defeated by several hundred better-armed French and Swiss troops sent in April from Martinique, a French colony. Colony militia continued to hunt down Maroons and finally declared the rebellion at an end in late Aug 1734.

Don't use the price of eggs & gas to mask why you really voted for a convicted felon:
• Your fear of migrants
• Your misogyny
• Your belief that a woman should not be POTUS
• Your racism
• Your lack of common sense
• All of the above
Should have. Would have could have.
We lost and we lost badly.
If we won you would be praising Dems and saying everything was done perfectly. We got trounced and we whine and point fingers?
Kamala Harris was flawless.
This is what should be happening.
Hug and thank Black women for always coming through, let’s unite and get to work getting our electorate back. People are depending on us.

White privilege for the goal of white supremacy at its finest….
This is what all the MAGA cult members, the majority of white America and those ethnic minorities who wanna be white adjacent, want…
This is AmeriKKKa…
BREAKING: https://t.co/JQWy2gTfhs just dropped a new track titled "Yes She Can"—and yes, “She” is Kamala Harris.
This is the anthem America needs to hear right now.
@NW_StayDet My instincts at that age definitely didn’t include harassing 300 lb athletes and calling their 300 lb athlete brother faggot. Just me? 🤷♂️
