“A war on multiracial democracy” is exactly the right framing. This is what Republicans has been engaged in for decades. From the bench, from the White House, and from the legislature.

I have been summoned

They are hustling a focus group together to declare that this is obviously not a kitchen table issue

Espn will have the ECF and Finals. Mike Breen expected to call every Knicks game going forward.

this is a good take well done filler episodes can really develop character dynamics and get you deeply attached to the cast - I feel like a lot of "comfort watch" shows come out of that, where you just end up happy to spend more time with your favorite characters

Think about the fact that Stevie incorporated a Beatles reference, Latin percussion, gongs (recorded forward AND backward), a gospel choir, and Hare Krishnas into ONE SONG and made it all sound smooth

If you’re Black and you think that you don’t like prog-rock, go listen to Stevie Wonder’s “Contusion” RIGHT NOW Do it Admit it You like prog-rock now Go ahead and put on that Yes album next Stevie said it’s alright

piccolo fits belong in the Met

In a historic moment, I was interviewed by fellow Black woman particle physicist Dr. Katrina Miller. Few people can understand my journey the way she does. We talked about my new book, why poetry matters, and yes, how the *fact* of non-trinary neutrinos challenges anti-trans rhetoric. #GiftLink

Republican in Louisiana calls a Black man boy. Then pretends to be the victim and falls back on decorum. Respectability politics always holds up white supremacy.

On today’s episode of VIBE CHECK, we interview Rep. Justin Jones to talk about the Supreme Court gutting the Voting Rights Act and what it means for democracy and black people in the South in particular.

The Mets are 4-0 this year on Bark at the Park Nights at Citi Field.

- happy Stevland Hardaway Morris day!

I hope we can all agree that this is messed up and the impact is racist. www.wired.com/story/xai-ad...

Coming soon to a street corner near you. (As long as you’re in Maine.) If anyone would like a sign or three for their front yard or to post in their town, just send me a message and I’ll make sure to get them to you. #mepolitics

Good example of how long the “I’ll be the one to say it” lane has been around in regard to Black cultural commentary.

So the Republican Supermajority breaks the law and violates the constitution to strip Memphis of representation — then Speaker Sexton strips Dems of committee assignments for daring to protest. Welcome to Tennessee.

And yes, they just found remains of some of the child victims not too long ago: www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-kV...

If I ever get famous enough to have actual influence, I’m gonna lobby for Stevie Wonder’s birthday to be a federal holiday like he did for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We deserve a holiday to do nothing but listen to his music

happy birthday stevie wonder!

What in the Wilmington, North Carolina is this here?

Happy 76th birthday to the legendary Stevie Wonder.

good morning.

guess i'll check the ewing debut.

13-year NBA veteran Jason Collins has died at 47 years old after a battle with Stage 4 glioblastoma. Collins was the first active, openly gay player in NBA history. RIP.

The open queerness of the WNBA puts it above *all* US sports organizations in and off itself it terms of progressiveness. And we're not even going to even get into the relentless push by the W to improve conditions for women of all backgrounds. To question this history b/c of the Met is absurd.

That’s the thing, no one is trying to piss anyone off, people are trying to live their lives, and they’re set up as objects of political debate for simply trying to live the same way everyone else does.

💯 An underdiscussed part of Mamdani's win was that he actually followed the advice of Black progressives. Specifically that you can run an unabashed leftist campaign and win the votes of older Black voters if you actually bother to put in serious legwork *on the ground* to engage directly.

You want Black women to do the socio emotional moral and value work of this country ... but you don't want to compensate them ... you don't want to empower them... you dont want to platform them

Black women become the moral agents of the American enterprise without having representative resources or power

Organizers, including Selma foot soliders, say ruling is latest chapter in long battle over Black disenfranchisement in US

two things. 1. when the trump administration says that something is “illegal DEI” they are saying “you don’t deserve this” 2. the practical effect of destroying the VRA is to make it nearly futile for these americans to get relief from congress

most clips i see from national tv pundits: GUARANTEED: THE KNICKS *WILL* WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP most knicks fans i talk to: idk man. something's off. sixers in 9 i fear??

The American Heart Association just posted this and tbh, I LOLed.

THE KNICKS ARE HEADED BACK TO THE EAST FINALS 😤 7 straight postseason wins... the longest playoff win streak in franchise history! NBA Playoffs presented by Google

Someone blow the whistle Someone say the prayer

this is for alexy shved, steve (novacaine) novak, cleanthony early, josh harrelson, mardy collins, nate robinson, david lee, renaldo balkman, fred jones, chris duhon, jared jeffries, sergio rodriguez, toney douglas, bill "sky" walker, shawne and shelden williams...

The Knicks had a 176 offensive rating in the first half of this game, with per @cleantheglass. For perspective, that’s the equivalent of Reggie Miller going to the line for two free throws.

This game is for all of us that were fans in the dark days of Larry Brown, Phil Jackson, Jeff Hornacek, David Fizdale, Isaiah Thomas, Derek Fisher, Mike Dantoni, Lenny Wilkins, etc.. don’t let me start naming those players. Knicks fans thought Ntilikina wasn’t worth trading for prime Kawhi 😂 😂 😂

this is the exact free throw Patrick Ewing takes in Space Jam after the Monstars take his talent

Knicks will make their 2nd consecutive ECF for the first time since 1999-2000

this lineup might be next year's bench but i'm enjoying it as this year's cigar squad

If you are a Philadelphia Sixers fan who attended game 4, and you didn’t sell your ticket to Knicks fans at the request of Joel Embiid… You may be entitled to compensation.
