I want to articulate something beyond rage, something akin to devastation but too knowing to be shock. My anger and melancholy and despair will not bring Khaliifah Williams back, but maybe they will show me how not to surrender.

Not having kids is a morally neutral and legitimate life choice on its own that does not need to be justified with recourse to tragic stories of fertility struggles. It’s fine just to not want children.

First it was a “Black job.”
Now it’s a “colored sorority.”
Dear #FoxAndFools this only strengthens us. #DemsUnited

Happy Birthday Arturo Schomburg, an iconic father of Black History. I was just in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 and had to snap a photo of his mural. If you ever passed by the majestic Schomburg Center in Harlem, this is the man who it’s named after. A teacher once told him, Black people didn’t have culture or history worth knowing and he obviously proved them wrong. (📸 #corredorafro) – at Torrecilla Baja, Puerto Rico

Coco Gauff has advanced to her first ever U.S. Open semifinal after beating Jelena Ostapenko 6-0 6-2! I believe it is her time and her moment! Unapologetically Black and herself! #USOpen2023

It’s always “people should skip lattes” and not “CEOs should skip bonuses and pay living wages”

An iced coffee costs about $5 a day. That’s roughly $35 per week or $140 per month. Now you’re spending $1,680 per year.
Over the course of 10 years that’s $16,680, which is not enough to make a down payment on house.
So, enjoy your iced coffee.

At the end of the day, the Titanic Missing Billionaire Submarine story is a perfect distillation of 21st Century capitalism: A small group of very rich people assume a clearly irresponsible risk. It goes predictably wrong. Scores more in public resources are used to save them...

Under DeSantis’s new laws, Floridians may never learn there was once a Black Superintendent of Schools in Florida who was so forceful in his advocacy for civil and educational rights, that he had to sleep armed in his attic to ward off attacks from the KKK. Meet Jonathan Gibbs.
Replying to @profgabrielle
As the first Black superintendent of schools, Jonathan Gibbs supervised every county’s standard of education and established uniform textbooks across Florida. I hope his ghost is haunting Ron DeSantasis and Florida state legistlators who undermine and attack public education.

Slavery.
Black codes.
Jim Crow.
Redlining.
Mass incarceration.
Every step of the way, Black Americans have been intentionally pushed back economically. A debt is owed.
It’s time to pay that debt. It’s time for reparations.

Georgia is still hugely important for dems. 1. @ReverendWarnock is a massive star 2. 2024 is a harder senate map and this is a down payment. 3. It’s pretty clear an extra senate vote would have been helpful to dems over last 2 years
