I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave. It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Dear @schumer.senate.gov & @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social, do not cave on health care! Your constituents are watching and expect you to hold the line.

Last night, the Trump Administration sent a letter suggesting Wisconsin should return our FoodShare payments. My response ⬇️

Hi @repdangoldman.bsky.social, your constituents are calling. You should join her!!

Looking at you, @governor.ny.gov!

Several hundred kids just marched past my house because John Marshall High is doing an anti-ICE walk out. LA's tradition of high schoolers using their voices to push back on racism and inequality is really an inspiring thing.

This summer our family went to Armenia. We took our great grandfather’s poem documenting the massacres of Armenians in Adana in 1909–the prelude to the Armenian genocide—to the Armenian genocide museum. It underscored the lesson—never again for anyone. armenianweekly.com/2025/11/04/t...

1/5 EXCLUSIVE: I’m in Kampala, Uganda, where I’ll be living & reporting this month. Since it’s @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social’s hometown, I wanted to share a bit of the pride the people of Kampala have on NYC’s Election Day for their hometown boy (full video here, feel free w credit to thrashery)

"Immigrant women have always been the quiet architects of change in NYC. Jewish and Italian garment workers led strikes... Chinese immigrant women organized tenant associations ... Puerto Rican and Dominican mothers built tenant unions ...Caribbean women transformed the city's care economy"

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Here’s a link to the USDA announcement stating that food stores can’t offer discounts to SNAP recipients—complete with propaganda blaming it on the Democrats. www.fns.usda.gov/snap/ebt/ret...

So looking forward to this conversation tonight! Join us!

So excited for this conversation tonight . Please join us.

"For the first time in a King biography, Coretta Scott King’s active partnership in the struggle is made clear. King of the North is a revelation." — Barbara Smith, co-founder, Combahee River Collective Join us for class later today. #FreedomSchool #TeachIn www.zinnedproject.org/news/king-of...

If you’re looking for a source of inspiration in our No Kings era, look to Rosa Parks. She saw young people as the key to carrying the Civil Rights movement forward. 20 years ago, she became an ancestor. #RestInPower @jeannetheoharis.bsky.social

Looking forward to this! Please join us.

So honored that the great @sifill.bsky.social highlighted how much she loved KING OF THE NORTH and the ways it shows us whole dimensions of Martin and Coretta Scott King’s work that had been buried.

It was such a gift to be at Ebenezer Baptist Church with Rev. Warnock and get to talk about King of the North and the lessons looking at Dr. King's work outside the South, including his investment and belief in the leadership potential of gang members.

Join Julius Fleming, La Donna Forsgren, Jo-Ann Morgan, and me 5:30 on 10/2 for our conversation "Black Arts, Black Spaces, and Black Performance." This is the second event in0 the Schomburg Center's 13th season of Conversations in Black Freedom Studies. www.blackfreedomstudies.org/events/fall-...

A shameful fact which tells its own story.

Appalling, appalling video. I genuinely think the NYPD should investigate for assault. There was no call at all for level of violence. She perhaps brushed him with her hands but she was not posing a threat at all.

In @jeannetheoharis.bsky.social new work, KING OF THE NORTH, she shows Dr. King's life, legacy, and relationships in a new light. Here she is at Ebenezer Baptist in Atlanta, discussing his gift for listening. Book available here: thenewpress.org/books/king-o...

Join us next Thursday October 2nd at 6:30 online for a conversation with Jo-Ann Morgan, Julius Fleming, La Donna Forsgren, and Courtney Thorsson for a conversation on Black Arts and the Black freedom struggle: www.eventbrite.com/e/cbfs-black...

According to WaPo’s termination letter my post referencing Kirk’s views on Black women was not even brought up. The Post’s stated reasons are *worse*. Read the termination letter for yourself. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

A white man killed another white man, but Black people are catching death threats. So, instead of talking about white feelings again, I explored my own death threats, and tips for others who are unused to white America. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Hi @washingtonpost.com, I had kept my subscription this past year in part to support the great journalists and columnists you still had writing for the paper. Firing @karenattiah.bsky.social for speaking the truth is the last straw. My subscription is now cancelled.

What a gift to be invited by Rev. Warnock to Ebenezer and get to share KING OF THE NORTH during church! Martin & Coretta Scott King were political partners, MLK clocked 6 million miles traveling to support movements across the US & and spent hundreds of hours working and talking with gang members.
