Back to reading Black Reconstruction. But two things: 1.) Today is W.E.B. Du Bois's birthday! and 2.) Everyone should check out Zinn Education Project's valuable report about how the state fails to teach complex histories of Reconstruction: www.teachreconstructionreport.org

Sorry, but this is demonstrable nonsense from Cuban. We’re never going to overcome our current crisis if we don’t give up our slavish fixation with billionaires.

the way the American left and center-left neglect Spanish isn't as bad as it would be for, say, a Canadian party to neglect French, but it is still a rather serious self-inflicted wound

Bluesky is leagues better than Twitter, but I'm going to need y'all to get better when it comes to black people gossip, because I should not be hearing about Aaron Pierre and Teyana Taylor almost a week later.

I guess the one thing that Jim Crow era politicians and Nazi Germany did not have was millions of people telling them their opinions of them live as they did everything that they were doing. So cyberbullying is on our side.

It's beyond Obama. The bigger truth is about Black progress in America in the 20th/ 21st century-- Black advancement helps open the doors for so many other marginalized groups to rise. They want to kill the path of govt/educational/ career advancement for EVERYONE not white, straight, and male.

These are brown shirts, and this is Nazi behavior. We are not in a fight between right and left anymore. This is a fight between Americans and those who would bend the knee to a king. If you care about the soul of this country, we have to stand for each other.

Exactly why I've been writing, podcasting, and damn near screaming about using the right language. The mainstream media is failing us SO badly right now. Stop. Calling. This. Shit. DEI. This is (re)segregation. This is racial purging. Cleansing Black people from positions of power.
