Your post reminded me of the book A Hudson Valley Reckoning which is about a white woman discovering her Dutch family's history of enslaving Africans. She uses gravestones as part of her documentation.

Percival Everett wrote a terrific book called Wounded that is reflects on the murder of Matthew Shepard. I highly recommend reading it - his novels are impactful reflections of the United States of America as we are.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

Plus the University of Chicago PR Department would probably put a hit on you for such a claim.

Perfect! I live in NYC but am lucky to serve on the board at Spelman. I'll definitely fly in a little early to the spring meeting to see this.

I visited Dublin and a few other spots in Ireland 3 years ago. I think I have 7 billion photos of this building too! Time to plan a return visit.

I hope there is a museum show to go with the catalog. The Barbican show in London as few years ago was my intro to the playgrounds Noguchi designed. I'd love to learn more (and play too!)

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

New Yorkers know Attorney General James for who she is: a champion for justice who fights relentlessly for the people. Donald Trump knows her only as an obstacle to his corruption.

Bravo to you and kudos to the cover designer. That font, especially the Y in JOY is gorgeous. And yes, I am judging your book on its cover. Looking forward to reading in January.

You know what does NOT need to become a thing? DAF Day. (It's organizations who want me to make a donation from a Donor Advised Fund.) Almost as annoying as giving Tuesday. Instead I'll just delete, delete, delete.

I agree with Senator Ruben Gallego - it's past time to seat newly elected Representative Adelina Grijalva!

Went to a panel discussion last night and this is also true of intros of panelists. Why take 10 minutes of your precious hour for this ridiculous practice?

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress want you to believe the lies because they need to distract you from the truth.

Millions of Americans will see their healthcare costs go up and could be forced to drop their coverage if we don’t end this shutdown in a responsible way.
