@laurenwilliams.bsky.social says it all here. I'll add that a thriving Black press helps our country better understand itself, and better serve the people in it. To do more of this work in 2026, help us raise $6K before midnight: capitalbnews.org/donate

It’s the last day of the year, and @capitalb.bsky.social needs to raise $6K by midnight to support our journalism in 2026. Black news is American news, and you can help it thrive.

Just a #givingtuesday reminder of how nonprofit, community journalism can create real change. But it needs support to thrive. Your support for @capitalb.bsky.social means more impact for more folks like the residents of Fairburn & Gordon. capitalbnews.fundjournalism.org/donate/?camp...

🧵 The stakes for @capitalb.bsky.social's journalism are getting higher. Protections for housing, healthcare, education, and voting rights are weakening — and Black communities are often the least seen and heard.

Today, I'm excited to share @capitalb.bsky.social's first strategic plan: capitalbnews.org/capitalb-202... It's a new time, and a new chapter for Capital B. We spent months of deep reflection and conversation to develop this plan. It's bold and ambitious, and won't be easy — especially right now.

Today is @capitalb.bsky.social’s third birthday. In our short existence, we’ve grown to a team of 30 that has done incredibly important work for the Black communities we report on and for.

This enthusiasm for finding proof that the pilots in the crash were white men has the unintended consequence of lending weight to the racist/sexist idea that their qualifications could be called into question if they weren’t.

Time is running out in 2024 to give! If you believe in the journalism we do at Capital B and want to see what we can do with the right support in 2025, please donate here: capitalbnews.org/donate

🧵 A donation to @capitalb.bsky.social this #GivingTuesday means: - Backing a newsroom that's helping Black people make sense of uncertain times - Taking a stand against nonstop misinfo aimed at Black folks - Making sure complex Black stories get told where they matter most 👉🏿 lnkd.in/dP-J545g

Everyone’s feed is inundated with #givingtuesday posts, but I hope you’ll take a second to consider @capitalb.bsky.social and nonprofit news in general, as you decide where to give today.

I see a lot of folks saying they don't feel bad about NYT and I remember when Hulk Hogan sued Gawker into oblivion with Peter Thiel's money and people said the same thing. Dislike NYT all you want! There are a lot of ways it sucks! That is not a good reason to root for de facto dismantling of 1A.
