i read the news today, oh boy. (and i have some completely personal views about it that are in no way connected to or representative of my employer.)

I was 12 and living in South Central L.A. during the 1992 #LAuprising. I, too, didn’t understand why people were burning down their own hood. Wrote an essay about it and everything.

So congratulations, you’re as knowledgeable as a 12 yo was 30 years ago. 🥴 #readabook

@afropunk Thank you for doing this. Please add the Lollie Family to this list, if possible. They are 79% of the way there: https://t.co/7d0U9fPjtV

Join a political home. Memorize phone numbers and streets in your towns. Learn how to fight, grow food, fish, fix wounds. create networks of skilled people to take care of each other. build intentional communities. We are on our own

[rhonda @postracialist]

Do we though?

[deray @deray]

I can’t watch the debate. It’s too painful. We all deserve better.

27 years ago today, Stevie Nicks burned a hole into Lindsey Buckingham’s soul when she stared down her ex performing Silver Springs, a song she wrote about how he will never escape the sound of her voice

[rhonda @postracialist]

@offbeatorbit The song changed the English language.

With my mother. Daddy’s funeral.

He wasn’t assassinated because he wanted his children to be judged “by the content of their character.”

But for dismantling racism, poverty & militarism.

He wanted corrective measures to eradicate racism, not the delusion that it doesn’t exist.

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

Let’s be real. This is an extension of what happened to me at UNC, and it is a glimpse into the future to come. Academic freedom is under attack. Racial justice programs are under attack. Black women will be made to pay. Our so-called allies too often lack any real courage.

From Variety's 2020 cover story with Andre Braugher:

He says he’s fine knowing that his decision to stick close to home and family may have limited some opportunities along the way. “It’s been an interesting career, but I think it could have been larger,” he says. “I think it could have spanned more disciplines: directing, producing, all these other different things. But it would have been at the expense of my own life.”

@DanWuori We forget that that’s really what they see from their height and perspective. I love this!

[rhonda @postracialist]

@likaluca Yes and would go back in a heartbeat if we could do so while also avoiding being 24 again. Lol. Love you, babe.

[rhonda @postracialist]

@moorehn their racist notions about mugshots, criminality, and gangsta rap + a lack of intellect and/or shame.

@staceyNYCDC I’m sorry, but it’s giving

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

One of the most important myth-busting deep-dives I've ever done.

What was the real impact of Covid school closures?
Were they avoidable?
Did they cause 'learning loss' & mental health decline?
What's the impact of Covid on kids' health?

Please do watch:

@likaluca Someone said Bey is going to be rolling into NOLA (her last stop) like “I’m almost there…”
