DEI is widely mischaracterized as a corporate initiative that benefits Black people. It's a framework used to ensure fair employment treatment across a broad range of people that most often benefits WW. It includes gender, race, disability, age, military service, and sexual orientation.

The University of Michigan president Santa Ono smeared diversity, equity, and inclusion programs to get this job. But he is qualified. I can’t say the same about Marva Johnson, selected to be next president of Florida A&M University, the top public HBCU. thehill.com/homenews/edu...

A drug addict usurped congressional power, and unilaterally gutted US soft power. Members of the administration knew about, and were disturbed by, his drug use (WSJ). Isn’t this a cover-up?

RFK Jr. and the incompetent staff of Trump cronies put out a 78-page report about children’s health that cited studies that don’t exist. While they’re firing talented Black people in the name of eliminating DEI, the Trump administration has turned our government into a joke.

Not everyone who imitates Black culture is a friend or ally. Some are simply using it for clout... People who love the aesthetics of Blackness but want no part of its pain, history, or struggle. Folks who want our rhythm but not our blues. brandonjsutton.substack.com/p/cultural-g...

Police officers are killing more Americans than then they did five years ago when they killed George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. Too many people have been deluded into believing the problem is the problem solvers, the perpetrators are the victims, and the treatment is the disease.

I'm genuinely sorry that Fetterman had a stroke and suffers from depression. But arguing that he has a free pass not to do his job in the name of destigmatizing brain injury and mental health struggles is offensive. If he can't do it, he should resign. If he doesn't want to, he should resign faster.

I’ll say this and then I’m gonna step back b/c 2026 IS THE ONLY NATIONAL ELECTION THAT’S IMPORTANT NOW. No Dem presidential candidate wins w/o high Black turnout & vote. So stop making it like Black voters are expendable or that you can serve up any candidate chosen by Pelosi, Clooney or MSM & win.

The ultimate backstops to Trump's power are not Trump himself - he's far too incompetent and blundering to consolidate power, but the Gang of Six on the Supreme Court and the Media, who helpfully clean up all his fuckups no matter how bad they are.

Sunday marks 5 years since George Floyd's murder, when millions marched for racial justice. It's bad enough that few reforms came from it But there's a straight line from BLM marches to a backlash that reelected Trump and is ending DEI. What went wrong? My column www.inquirer.com/opinion/geor...

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

I say all this to say, stop it. Biden was old, tired, not as sharp in language, recall or gait as two years before. But he was doing the job and doing it well. Sadly he was not able to effectively do the Comms part of the job which requires vigor & charisma. Now do a wellness check on Trump.

The state of Georgia is using the body of a brain-dead woman as an incubator. Because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died, and their abortion ban is from about 6 weeks, they are sustaining her on life support, without input from her family, until 32 weeks of gestation. A true dystopian nightmare.

Under the current constitution, the Supreme Court and Congress are supposed to be responsible for checking the power of a president. Both institutions have failed to do so. Perhaps it’s worth considering if it’s not merely the individuals who have failed to prevent tyranny, but the system itself.

BREAKING: ICE detained Hasan Piker, a U.S. citizen, for having the wrong opinions. Not a border issue. Not immigration. This is state-sponsored harassment for being anti-Trump. They asked him, “Do you like Donald Trump?” That’s not a question. That’s a threat.

A white woman chased a small Black child at a public park calling him the N-slur over & over again. Another adult stepped in to stop the harassment while recording the incident. After a few exchanges, the woman left. Bigots online raised $200K+ for her in a single day. Racism is still lucrative.
