On this day in 1931, a segregated Georgia hospital refused to admit Juliette Derricotte, dean of Fisk University, and one of her students after a serious car accident. They both died as a result.

Republicans got rid of D.E.I. and Black women came back and took their jobs. 😂

The timeline is healing.

Humbling to present @AzizFndn Journalism Diversity Fund bursaries to the staggeringly brilliant Balqiis Ali (from left) and Iqbaal Abdi at the #NCTJInclusion day @SkyNews, with the great @AlexCrawfordSky. Great newsrooms are diverse newsrooms.

Very moving: a traditional Palestinian wedding in Haifa. There is life. There is hope.

Hi Ben, this is a truly disgusting (and cowardly) tweet. So glad I have spent the past year turning down your repeated invites to appear on your show.

For the record, this is a Jewish journalist interviewing the Jewish *author* of the IHRA antisemitism definition for Zeteo, and it is Stern himself who thinks it’s a mistake to use the IHRA definition in the way the government is.

But since you can’t engage with the substance of any of this, you resort to smear by insinuation.

EL-SAYED: “to all the parents who struggled to explain to their kids why the president openly mocks someone for their name or how they pray, let them know tomorrow that the bad guys lost.”

@AvaSantina He was clearly irritated and, for whatever reason, didn't want to engage, but describing his behaviour as rude is a stretch. It's weird how much people want to read into this one brief encounter.

[Sonya Thomas @writehandmedia]

@JayneSeckerSky @jamesmatthewsky @AbdulElSayed What should we think about someone who speculates about a man's character based on this brief encounter?

This dude can't stop tweeting about Muslims in America. Me, Wajahat, Abdul, Adam Hamawy. We're all Islamists! All terrorists!

He's obsessed. An anti-Muslim bigot with an Atlantic column.

That's how normalized Islamophobia is in our liberal media.

I’ve never seen anybody dogwalk the press like this. He’s unbelievable

Glad people are beginning to realise that Jason Arday was not an oligarch, but a relatively obscure Cambridge Professor from a black working-class background, who had managed to overcome learning difficulties to write 29 highly cited, peer-reviewed papers. (4 others now cleared)
