The Pentagon has marked 26,000 photos for deletion to purge evidence of diversity. The photos include the 1st black pilots in WWII, the 1st women to pass infantry training & the plane that dropped the Hiroshima bomb because it’s called the “Enola GAY”. This is real. We’re living in a horror story.

I have this rule where, if I know a series is going to be a trilogy, I won't read book 2 until book 3 comes out because I hate cliff-hangers. Which means I'm just now sitting down to read Bloodmarked.

1. Happening now, the United States Senate is considering S9, a bill that would ban transgender people from playing sports of their gender identity from chess to darts and everything in between. It could result in genital exams and more. I'm covering live. Watch: www.senate.gov/legislative/...

I disagree. America has coasted for too long on the illusion of moral superiority while indulging in apathy. Maybe a collective backlash is exactly what’s needed—because only when we’re forced to reckon with our failures will we have any real incentive to live up to the ideals we claim to stand for.

Support during Black History Month is a double-edged sword: a flood in Feb, then a drought in March while attacks on our history and opportunities intensify. Black people deserve consistent investment. If you believe in my work in media criticism & publishing, $5/month helps: mareas.binderybooks.com

Hey, when y’all were talking about walking away from these major corporations & investing our money into Black small business, I hope you meant publishing too. As a Black publisher, I could use that energy. Help me build my business with just $5 or $12 a month. 👇🏾 Leftunreadbooks.binderybooks.com

I was recently leaked a document that was written by and for think tank and DNC affiliated policy wonks and circulated in private chats. It describes in unsparing terms the threat Curtis Yarvin, Neoreactionary tech founders, and Elon Musk pose to democracy. shatterzone.substack.com/p/democratic...
