I owe the television part of my career to @joyannreid.bsky.social, as do so many other Black voices y'all never would have heard of if not for her. And that's why she's gone. They can treat black folks as interchangeable, but everybody Black knows that Joy was indispensable.

Cancelling @joyannreid.bsky.social means the door she held open for the next generation of Black voices will slam shut. Without her, the next her, won't get platformed by white media. That, of course, is why white media pushed her out. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Like the resistance starter packs are mostly white. The popular pods and newsletters? Mostly white. Heaven forbid you give money to Black and brown independent journalists or activists because they might ask you to get involved at a level beyond “share this dumb meme of Elon and Trump kissing.”

Americans are ~2.5x more likely to die in a crash than a Canadian, ~3.5x more likely than a Spaniard, and ~5x more likely than a Japanese person. Here are a few of the articles I wrote in 2024 trying to understand why the US is uniquely terrible at road safety. 🧵

Remember the right-wing plot to sabotage Jimmy Carter’s re-election by urging Iran to hold American hostages longer? You don’t? It’s a shocking example of the American right’s treachery that more people should know about. (Gift link to 2023 NYT story.)

As a lawyer let me be clear: ABC News was NEVER going to lose the defamation lawsuit to Trump. They agreed to pay Trump $15 million bc in their view it's good for business.

On this date in 1941, Pearl Harbor was attacked by the imperial forces of Japan. The loss of life and destruction was horrific, and it pulled the U.S. into the war. For Japanese Americans, it was a terrifying time. Overnight, we became the “enemy within” because we were of Japanese descent. /1

CVS (who acquired Aetna for $70B) is doubling-down on the lie the they’re losing money because of those pesky poor people stealing baby formula. In fact, profits are in the toilet because prescription drug profits are down, and patient care costs are rising.

I just cannot handle middle class white people telling me they are giving up because they're tired. I'm an Indigenous woman who grew up in poverty, whose family is still poor, who has lost so much of my family to suicide and addiction. I am tired. We are all tired. Some of us don't get to opt out.

It’s mostly white people who talk about echo chambers. Maybe you need the internet to meet people with different ideas but the rest of us do not. We know what the “other side” thinks because we deal with it every day! Everywhere! We’re fine. Carry on. Happy Saturday!
