Back to reading Black Reconstruction. But two things: 1.) Today is W.E.B. Du Bois's birthday! and 2.) Everyone should check out Zinn Education Project's valuable report about how the state fails to teach complex histories of Reconstruction: www.teachreconstructionreport.org

"Old-school hip-hop is vulnerability,” Doechii says. “I’m gravitating towards the pure skill that was incorporated. Anyone who doesn’t think that hip-hop is an intellectual genre, I think that assumption is rooted in racism." www.thecut.com/article/doec...

If your defense of free speech is reserved for would-be authoritarians — while helping lead a regime that is otherwise busy suppressing speech, assembly, and the press — then it becomes difficult to ignore the suspicion that you might be one yourself. New Racket. theracket.news/p/what-jd-va...

The federal government has historically discriminated against Black farmers. The recent funding halt from the Trump administration presents yet another hurdle to those who have spent decades fighting for equity in farming.

If this is true it’s an unbelievably foolish, self-destructive approach to the problem. The media cannot function properly while it cuts secret deals with this administration behind the scenes.

People always dunk on comics from the 1990s as being all gimmick and no substance. While there is plenty of truth to that, the Dakatoverse is the perfect counterpoint. Right from the start Milestone put character first and gave readers a world that felt equally real and super.

Looking forward to more deep insights from Politico. "Wait, there were two presidents named Roosevelt?" "Not many people know that RFK Jr isn't the first in his family to enter politics." "His name was Lincoln? Really? Like the tunnel?"

Ok, schools at US military bases aren’t just removing books that fall into the “DEI” category. They are removing books with that totally woke viewpoint that slavery was a bad thing

Historians will simply classify these conspiratorial diatribes about “woke” as mirror propaganda. This “woke” is more than anything a creation of the authoritarian who desires cultural policing but must disavow that desire.

Ida B Wells is one of the most important and consequential organizers, intellectuals, theorists, sociologists, journalists of the 20th century [worldwide]. The vast majority of USians don't have a clue of her actual contributions. Because she didn't write academic tomes, she's understudied IMO.

Don't do this administration's work for them by coming up with justifying and rationalizing arguments for institutions and organizations to cooperate. This includes the justifications for why the Democratic party has to "find common ground." If you even start to think this, slap yourself.

“The Maryland National Guard must decline events which celebrates individuals based all or in part on immutable characteristics,” the memo said. Douglass was an abolitionist, suffragist, orator and author. That’s what we celebrate him. Let’s be clear: This bars celebrating him because he was Black.

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

With both RFK Jr and Gabbard confirmed, two people who rose to prominence spreading conspiracy theories about public health and national intelligence will now run the U.S. government agencies in charge of those areas. For someone studying these conspiracy theories for a decade... this is nauseating.
