So much to discuss in the latest #BlackVoterProject post-election survey & this great #SacState article offers a bit of insight into how the larger project came to be - and, again, puts an end to the notion that Black voters supported Trump in any significant way. www.csus.edu/news/newsroo...

I sent the proposal for my 4th book to my agent today. This is wild. I remember when I thought it’d be great if I could write just one book. I thought it was all I had in me.

Yes. We can have empathy for all. We can be radically caring.

I’m watching a town hall with a Democratic congressman and it is so disappointing. A woman asked what citizens can be doing right now and he said we need to vote for people who reflect our interests. Is that the DNC strategy? For us to sit around for 2 years while the country is dismantled?

This is the heartbreaking reality that many leftish White people need to accept. Sometimes you have to shake the dust off your feet so you can focus your precious energy on the things and people you can change. You’ll need therapy and supportive community to do it. It’s going to hurt like hell.

I start each day by setting an intention. This one has been on repeat for the past week. It reminds me to do what I can, to accept my limitations, and to take care of myself. It works for justice and for life in general.

Are we talking about the same people who said they’d be willing to sacrifice their grandparents to COVID in order to defend their right to go maskless?

Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

Yep, all of this. It’s exhausting, which is their intent, of course.

It’s a PR trick that Elon is a smart leader. He got ousted from PayPal. He didn’t invent Tesla. He bought it and is slowly running it into the ground just as he did Twitter. www.theverge.com/23815634/tes...

I woke up thinking about how many conservatives are clueless about what’s happening because they rely on Fox and conservative social media to tell them what’s happening. The left needs to go to where they are.

I’ve started a new series called Black Women Teach Us. This first group is womanist theologians and ethicists who help us decolonize our Christianity. The next one will focus on womanist Biblical scholars and practical theologians. open.substack.com/pub/drchaneq...

The Senate will vote tomorrow on whether RFK Jr will lead HHS. For this final 24 hours we are asking you to call/visit/email your Senators and DEMAND a NO vote on RFK Jr. Kennedy's views on science and medicine are not only wrong, they are actively harmful and destructive.
