Belle da Costa Greene, a Black woman who passed as white in the early 20th century, became one of the most powerful figures in the rare book world, leaving historians to grapple with questions of identity and self-invention. https://buff.ly/3CEcABk (Deborah W. Parker) #BlackSky #BlackHistoryMonth

Something the "so you think the law means anything now" doomers fail to grasp: the importance of buying time. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, has infinite resources and infinite capacity for managing complexity. Make your opponent work. Make their every decision complex and their every move costly.

1. I keep saying this, but it’s important to try to slow things down. It’s something that the Democrats really don’t get. You can win a war by losing every battle slowly.

Elie is not holding back, he is absolutely right: "We are actively consigning some of our children to a future where they will not enjoy full measure of equal rights, all because parents of white boys are sure their sons will come out on top, while their daughters will adjust to being 2nd citizens."

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

So disgusted I can barely read the Jack Smith report. Whiteness in America means an adjudicated rapist ,felon, and insurrectionist is a better president than a qualified black woman who has served her country as VP and attorney General of California.

When we learned whitewashed history in school, no one said shyt. We learned how White people came, saw, conquered, and tamed the West. That's acceptable, as long as they are the heroes. When I post what really happened, they call me a race baiter. Fuck 'em. #KeepItWoke

Altadena is one of the oldest Black communities in Southern California. It’s where, during the Great Migration, Black families found footholds in the American Dream. It’s where homes became anchors of generational wealth & physical proof of what our parents & grandparents built, against the odds! 🧵
