A lesson in how claims of meritocracy as justification for opposing DEI are often cover for the demand that we return to a system of preference for white men - whatever their qualifications. Fire a qualified Black man. Hire a statutorily unqualified white man. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

Have you heard about the SAVE Act? It's the newest effort at voter suppression by the House GOP & it's important for all of us. If you're a married woman or someone who doesn't have their birth certificate/passport handy, you're especially going to want to see this. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

This is a form of psychological warfare against non-white (AAPI excluded), girls, and LGBTQ students. They know that the letter is unenforceable but schools will trip over themselves trying to comply while students cower in fear. We must protect our students' psyches.

I’m honestly surprised I haven’t seen more commentary on Samuel L. Jackson as Uncle Sam, berating respectability politics, trying to “humble” Kendrick, and attempting to get him to assimilate into “traditional American performance.”

Not the biggest news today, but still worth noting: in the 119th Congress, Alabama will have two Black U.S. representatives serving together for the first time in history. This didn't happen during Reconstruction. It took nearly 60 years after the Voting Rights Act, and lengthy litigation.

All the soldiers are white—in every photo you've seen of the liberation of Paris in 1944. Yet African colonial soldiers made up 2/3rds of Free French forces & tens of thousands of African American troops fought in France. US & UK commanders insisted—no Blacks allowed. news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/...

Just a reminder that your local library has more than books! Many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and so much more! Maybe it's time for a visit! ❤️📚

Black incarcerated lives matter. But that doesn't make a good bumper sticker, yard sign or T-shirt. "Allies" are too busy dismantling DEI to get involved. Robert Brooks' life mattered. He had the right to live, serve his sentence & determine how he'd live the rest of his life.

Beyoncé’s NFL halftime show was a masterpiece and a love letter to Black culture! ✨ From HBCU pride with Texas Southern’s marching band to celebrating Black rodeo legends like Myrtis Dightman Jr. and Ja'Dayia Kurs, it honored history and excellence. 💃🏾 #BlackJoy #Beyoncé youtu.be/iuka6rzXvl0?...

That’s a Fine Fearsome Foursome that Beyonce bought out for the halftime performance. Brittney Spencer, Tanner Adell, Tiera Kennedy and Reyna Roberts. All are up-and-coming country singer-songwriters we should support.
