I sent Coates a quick message of thanks and.... HE WROTE ME BACK. I’m giddy. Absolutely positively giddy.

It feels right to launch into our review of beloved TNQ moments with @nhannahjones. Her timeless advice here about what it means to "be yourself" when you're Black in America cuts to the core.

If you can believe it, it's been one full year of TNQ, we're going to be sharing some of our highlights... but we need to hear from you - What has TNQ meant to you this year?

Pay attention to whose comfort is being prioritized and why. And whose bodies are seen as reasonable collateral damage for that comfort.

In this week's newsletter: reflections on RGB and the hope of dissent + updates on Season 2! https://t.co/Cv0TfKVBo8

[The Next Question @TNQshow]

We're paying attention to how the public narrative of BLM has shifted this year. How the punishing of Black bodies hasn't changed, but the vision for what it takes to transform our violence-obsessed society has. @erinblogan brings the insight here.

Friendly reminder:
There is a good chance that Biden's VP will be a black woman. There is also a good chance the media will frame this as 1 more story about a Black woman needing to perform perfect, tireless labor on behalf of a white man. Let's not contribute to that narrative.

You can't sleep on racism, cause it never sleeps. As government officials seek to dismantle the post office just as we need it for fair and safe elections, now is a great time to remember the power of dissent. Read our latest newsletter: https://t.co/8AiFSkMn2s

Thank you supporters of Austin and TNQ, believers and warriors for justice. We are only just now getting warmed up.

Y’all. I’m Still Here is a NYT Bestseller! I can’t believe I’m on the list with some of the authors who have been critical to my own journey toward antiracism and self-worth. The world is crap and also THIS HAPPENED.

We’re talking “riots” and “protest” and hitting the history books today at TNQ. Headlines say today's protests against have made history. However, if history has taught us anything it’s that the word "riot" is often a tool of white supremacy… Let’s recap. 🧵🧵🧵 1/6

History is trying to repeat itself… yet we choose to approach history with courage. In the words of Maya Angelou “History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.” 5/6
