Google has just removed Pride Month and Black History Month from the calendar app. This comes as they obeyed Trump by changing the Gulf of Mexico’s name to “Gulf of America.” L

Libraries are great for the books, sure, but it's also nice to have a quiet and safe space to sit and think- a place where no one is trying to sell you anything.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

An American flag built on the backs of Black people... Black music protesting white political terror in registers they never hear; reminiscent of ancestral spirituals embedded with instructions for runaways All this in New Orleans... What a moment

My latest. As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality. I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI. Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Librarians are going to be your conduits to community education and liberty with all these cuts to education. Fight like Hell to keep your libraries going. Show them support. Get library cards, and if your states and towns aren't protecting them, MAKE NOISE.

I’m hoping that in these Dark Days, the libraries can be a center for interests, enjoyment, and community. #library #librarysky

Christopher Paul Curtis’ ‘The Watsons Go to Birmingham – 1963’ is a story of Black joy & resilience despite the heavy pain of racism. As Black history is under attack, literature like Curtis’ is more important than ever. Join me at 11a ET for the latest #VelshiBannedBookClub #Velshi

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
