When my mom died I found this Letter to the Editor among her possessions. She’s calling out John Klein, the Town Supervisor in Smithtown LI, for his racist housing policies. I think it’s from the 1970s. It inspires me to name names, and call out BS. Don’t live afraid.
Love this!!! Our new film, “Testing Testing Sandi Bachom”, from Public Square Fims, directed by David France and Paul McGuire. @DOCNYCfest!!!
@sandibachom had it all in the 1970s. She was one of the most sought-after commercial producers working with the world's biggest brands – and in deep denial as she slid into addiction. Then unemployment. Then homelessness. In search of a second act, she bought a camera and started covering the news.
At 70, Sandi received her first press pass.
She discovered her new mission – and a chance at redemption – in Charlottesville, where she covered the violent Unite the Right rally.
She is one of the most recognized independent journalists chronicling American extremism, with all the risk that entails, including broken bones and endless streams of threats.
At 82, she’s still bearing witness!

I’m so excited for the world premiere of our new film:

History must be recorded as it unfolds. Bearing witness matters. So does having independent journalists like Sandi Bachom on the ground, documenting events, following extremists, and ensuring their actions don’t escape public scrutiny.

Jacqueline Woodson profoundly influenced young adult and children's literature. With over forty books and numerous prestigious awards, she stands as a literary icon.
She's a "New York Times" bestselling author who sold 5 million books worldwide.
She reimagined literature for varied audiences. As a Black and queer woman, her presence also gave her community a voice and a face that had been missing.
Her success changed the industry.

Thoughtless. As she says.
Mea culpa, mea culpa,
mea máxima culpa.
Earlier today, I quote tweeted someone who was endorsing Karen Bass for mayor and included information about a horrendous crime that impacted them.
My intent was to point out the insanity of supporting the people who've turned LA and CA into a dangerous cesspool.
I have deleted the post because it was thoughtless.
The world of politics ain't a sandbox. It's brutal and nasty and people call me nasty names on the daily—and that's okay because I signed up to fight for sanity and it's definitely a battle.
I would hope that people on the side of public safety, good governance and clean streets would realize that they don't need to call people names or cast aspersions on their careers or be nasty—I don't have "followers" that I can command to do as I wish, but I hope you know that if you're hurling gratuitous insults at people on the other team, you're not helping. Make your point, yes. And continue to call me out when I fail at that.
I have interacted publicly with @ZevYaroslavsky, @mikehtrujillo, @neeratanden, @sarasadhwani, @MaliaCohen and even @KarenBassLA (the latter at a lunch) and I would hope that they'd all agree I'm a fierce defender of conservatives, republicans and my team, but not nasty for no reason.
She can soar through the air, commands a stage in a single turn, and becomes a swan so effortlessly you forget she's not one.
But she's never danced around the issues.
Misty Copeland is stepping back into the spotlight.
Not just to dance, but to define her legacy.
She's the first Black woman principal dancer at American Ballet Theater.
And she knew being the first meant making room for others.

This is correct.
Roberts has been trying to kill the Voting Rights Act for more than 40 years, and it looks like he’s finally succeeded. motherjones.com/politics/202…
