I’ve been informed that one of my books, “How to Be Less Stupid About Race”, was removed from the Naval Academy Library today, along with Maya Angelou’s “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings”, works by Imani Perry and other luminaries. Honored to be in such great company! static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

Also, New York City had the most billionaires of any city in the world and New York State has the second most billionaires in the United States.
New York can afford it. Both of them.

Wild. Right after Cory Booker went viral for speaking on the "wretched truth about America," he just voted to keep arming a government that just officially achieved The Deadliest Conflict Ever for Journalists & executed and buried 15 paramedics and their emergency vehicles
"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

“Every generation of Americans is more diverse. Baby boomers were 29% people of color. Gen X 41%. Millennials 46%, gen Z 50%. The youngest cohort—born after 2012 and squarely in Disney’s prime target demo—is the first to be “majority minority”, with kids of color making up a full 52% of gen Alpha.”
My latest for @theguardian.com is about the Trump and Elon-directed FCC assault on Disney’s DEI policies, which ultimately isn’t about employee resource groups or “illegal racial discrimination” — it’s about trying to unconstitutionally force the Mouse House to whitewash its content.

Maga is coming after the House of Mouse with a cynical attack on its diversity policies. Disney can – and should – fight back

I wish more people understood this. Universities aren’t “caving” — they are seizing the opportunity.
As best as I can tell, the board has been running Columbia, and the board didn't so much surrender to Trump as draw up a list of demands for him to issue. The board, Trump, and the Free Press are all on the same page.
