And also - African-Americans are the most patriotic people in this country.
This week at an event for THE PEOPLE’S PROJECT, a reader asked in a gracious and cheeky way what I would hope white readers in particular would get out of the book. Or more directly, what I would TELL white readers. And this was basically my answer:
African-Americans are experts on America.
African-Americans are experts on America.
America should listen to Black people

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.
The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

I cannot stress enough how much media consolidation under billionaires is not only part of the discussion about censorship, it is THE discussion. Oligarchs don’t care about ideology, they care about money, and if a leader offers them unlimited wealth, they’ll sell their own mother out to get it

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

Hey, so you can absolutely feel tremendous empathy for the two young children who lost their father and sadness at more gun violence but simultaneously feel no empathy at all for the man who mocked and dehumanized vulnerable ppl and who manufactured and spread far right hate and propaganda

They're threatening providers with baseless criminal charges and targeting youth already facing barriers.

Don’t apologize for being right
I apologize but I find the theology of the Warrior Cats books more compelling than any monotheistic religion.
