My annual reminder Black History Month reminder that MLK’s Letter from Birmingham Jail is a direct criticism of white moderates. The entire damn letter.

When is the last time Anthony Mackie was in a good movie? Tragic.

Yes! For whatever reason parenthood is assumed to mean at least a little conservative. You should hear what some parents confide to me like my child isn’t Black. “Can’t send him to THAT school.” 🙃

I have two cute children and for some reason some folks confuse that as some sign moderate politics. Guys, I’ve been reading stories of resistance to these kids since they were in the belly. They come from a family of documented shit starters. 😂

Also, if you actually know the racist history of this country. Like truly know the gruesome details, you wouldn’t embarrass yourself with silly arguments about reverse racism. White folks made lynchings social events. Fuck outta here with the reverse racism straw man.

I am so sorry if some of you confused this profile for a call to unity. It is not. I’m a lefty. A big ole Black radical and nah we probably don’t have much in common if you have ever voted for anyone on the right. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Conservatism is based in white supremacy, so no, I don’t care if you voted for Kamala just this once.

AOC for president. The only damn person in that world making any sense.

No one knows history. Siiiiiigh

Ellington has a favorite movie. Sonic 3.

Major Media really serves no purpose if it can’t just say when someone is performing a Nazi salute without hedging.

I love toddlers so much. They are so fun and rude. 😂

It’s a simple thing but folks need to take some time to read through the Constitution. That was the first reading I gave to my class this semester.

I see Old white conservatives are angry with Trump and their reps. Good. They should stop electing hateful dipshits.

I’m telling y’all that he’s going to prison.

I don’t think Trump has enough yes men to fill all these positions. That’s partly why so many of his appointments are laughably unqualified.

Exciting to get this IRL. Out on March 7. tupress.temple.edu/books/inequa...

People are getting a real life introduction to how dangerous Klansman are to democracy and stability. Could have figured this out by reading books and listening to Black people but here we are.

Yep, need that global warming to start backup in New York.

Le siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh

🚨New paper! We provide a balanced approach to discussing context‐level disadvantage and individual‐level agency (a focus of strength‐based research). This approach allows for a broader–a holistic–perspective on existing inequality research. compass.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirec...

Yep, I still really like interviewing people.

Well that’s just stupid. I can’t muster up a more sophisticated analysis.

1 month.
