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.

Dear Mr. Musk, What we found out is that each one of us is 1. a brain 2. and an athlete 3. and a basket case 4. a princess 5. and a criminal. Does that answer your question?

This part of a Warsan Shire poem lives rent-free in my head: i held an atlas in my lap ran my fingers across the whole world and whispered where does it hurt? it answered everywhere everywhere everywhere.

Government is violence—police, borders, prisons. You can (& should) have infrastructure without violence. 🏴

A depressingly good example of how "being a woman" is conditional on racial lines as well—ofc it was a stud who got this treatment.

I keep seeing "Why aren't the Americans striking" and "Because our healthcare is tied to our jobs" and it never gets less true or less depressing

mask up. after 2-3 years of letting covid rip alone, rates of ME/CFS are already up 15 times compared to prepandemic levels. even if we didn’t have all this overt fascism going on, i would still be very very concerned about the future of this country with this fact in mind.

I understand it's important to journalists to be "neutral," but since when is neutrality simply reprinting what the powers that be say? I didn't go to J-school so I'm just asking

Dear pretty much everyone in the legacy media, Stop calling it “Trump’s plan to cut federal spending.” That sounds like some fiscally responsible nips and tucks. You know that is not what’s happening. Instead, try “Trump’s plan to dismantle civil government.” That’s what’s happening.

This is propaganda of the highest order. This is supposedly for potential immigrants when it's in English, w/no subtitles? This is to placate, even energize, all the white people GOP scared with their racist rhetoric. "Criminals not welcome" LMAO we put one in the highest office in the land but OK.

True story: a few years ago, I was being interviewed by a reporter for the New York Times. I mentioned the history of eviction statutes and how they tied into Jim Crow. The reporter asked "what's Jim Crow?" When I explained, the reporter didn't believe me and said the US wouldn't do that.

I sincerely doubt any journalist of color I know would be allowed to write "I didn't know this important aspect of US history and read the Wikipedia summary of it to catch up" in a prominent newsletter read by every important person in the nation's capital
