Whatever the outcome of the midterms & 2024 presidential elections, those of us who are committed to multiracial democracy will need to pour energy into strategies that foster connection & action. I've been thinking about how restorative circles can help https://t.co/wjfsdAOTRt…

It is wild how every word of this is still apparently locked away in my memory because once the beat started I was in there with them line for line like I used to be watching this commercial as a kid lmao
Looks like the rail industry paying off Republicans worked: the #MAGABudgetDisaster cuts 11,000 rail safety inspections, so get ready for more environmental disasters like East Palestine. Small tradeoff for protecting industry profits and keeping taxes low on the rich, right?
Free school lunch is a Solidarity Dividend. Small but important gains like this are happening nationwide due to cross-racial movement building winning public dollars for the public good!
I talked with Bobby Caldwell 's wife about the relationship the late singer had with his Black fans, how he loved @KevOnStage's video of him, and how he was honored rappers would sample his music

This is why I tell journalism students that open-ended questions are better than questions that sound tough. When conservatives first hijacked “woke,” every journalist should have asked them to define it. Cause these meltdowns would have happened a lot.
Republican-controlled state governments are opening an explosive new front in their drive to exert more control over Democratic-run cities & counties: aggressive new steps to seize authority over local prosecutors, city policing policies, or both. My take https://t.co/Q3DnXhuwuM
A writer for @WSJ insinuated that Silcon Valley Bank failed due its executive leadership team & board of directors focus on DIVERSITY.
I bet you are wondering what that team looks like… lol
GA leg passed bill creating state board that can fire local DAs; similar bills moving in TX; MO House has passed state takeover of violent crime prosecution in high-crime counties; DeSantis has fired 1 elected Dem county atty & is targeting 2nd; MS leg targets Jackson policing
The Right’s attempt to blame SVB’s failure on board diversity & DEI training is both dumb & telling. Racism, homophobia, transphobia & misogyny are ALL they’ve got. That’s exactly why consistently naming this & offering an alt vision would be so powerful. https://t.co/jBgPr2IzyL
1. @Walgreens is in damage control mode after telling GOP Attorneys General that it wouldn't distribute abortion pills in their states --including several that represent states where abortion is legal
But the damage control is extremely deceptive

Absolutely 👇🏾Let’s take our cues from this young person & say what we stand for in terms that people can understand, relate to, support & repeat! Basic empathy and caring. Valuing the people in our community. Understanding our history. Learning from books instead of fearing them.
Very detailed and enlightening piece outlining how in many ways VP Harris continues to be a groundbreaker even in the face of unprecedented scrutiny & political attacks for a VP. She continues to have impact & get the work done
