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.
