No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
"The racial mission at the core of state violence is uninterested in discerning the race of its individual victims, so long as it remains wholly concerned with serving the larger aims of a racial agenda and hierarchy." ~ Saida Grundy

Come thru @mayor.nyc.gov!
Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich
The Trump administration is engaged in a “multi-front concerted effort to try to interfere in the midterm elections … from Georgia to Minnesota and beyond,” says @ariberman.bsky.social.
@mayor.nyc.gov educating residents invites them to understand the moral and practical direction of a city's budget. This approach invites digital centric folx to lean in, learn and possibly engage in #ParticipatoryBudgeting as a viable next step toward a representative municipal government.
Trump is having journalists arrested, I doubt the British media will cover it. As they remained silent on Israel murdering over 200 journalists. When allies do it, it’s internal policy and not for us to comment on….

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.
“[Lemon's] constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis was no different than what he has always done,” Lowell said. “The first amendment exists to protect journalists whose role it is to shine light on the truth and hold those in power accountable.

@daniellemoodie.bsky.social and I are talking about Don Lemon's arrest, Epstein Files, and more.

The Trump administration is invoking a Reconstruction-era law meant to protect Black people from the KKK to target Black journalists and activists.
Don was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles.
the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.
I am looking forward to this virtual experience hosted by @schottfound.bsky.social. #Education is 1/5 structural determinants of health. Schools are merely a microcosm of our society at large, determined by the governing imaginaries wherein they're located. Join me. www.classy.org/event/the-mo...
"We literally impact the future in real time."
To invest in public education means to invest in a system that touches everyone, regardless of upbringing or background.
YESSSS! Great to see Brother Dr. James Ford in his brilliance here!
ICE can't seem to stop shooting people.
A very long and important THREAD -
The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.
And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.
Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

It goes without saying that many of us in #reproductivejustice have been speaking, presenting, writing for decades thanks to SisterSong, Black Mamas Matter Alliance, and countless other individuals such as Loretta Ross, Deirdre Cooper Owens, Monica McLemore etc.
Our social structure, per my interpretation as a scholar who has examined social systems' impact on our life outcomes, continuously activates its labor(ing) human capital as their chronic scapegoat while continuously making us sick. Glad to see Graves's words in text for wider consumption.
Watching Guillermo Del Toro’s #Frankenstein and now thinking about revisiting @theferocity.bsky.social and @zachstafford.bsky.social analysis on #VibeCheck.
a fcking word "the administration “is not serious about protecting public safety,” but instead “committed to creating the conditions for violence to thrive.”
Your cat when you're choking to death in your apartment
until they don't apply to MAGA and tech fascists. White supremacy is a game of ever-changing rules.
This is part of the reason I started @resistanceschool.bsky.social .. not only to get around the political repression around teaching about race.
But also to be free of AI colonization.
We need to get back to the essence of learning together in groups. With other humans!
