If you're upset about Jimmy Kimmel being "canceled," I'm sure you were just as furious when you heard about Joy Reid and Tiffany Cross or Amber Ruffin or Karen Attiah or Jemele Hill Because Kimmel might still have a job if you were

If you’ve ever wondered why crime is higher in majority-Black, Democrat-controlled cities, you can just look at the data. Spoiler alert: it’s not.

Remember when people were criticizing comedians for things they said actually said and even though nothing actually happened to them, Joe Rogan and Dave Chapelle and all the “edgy” comedians said the “cancel culture” was coming from the left? Good times.

Charlie Kirk was a staunch proponent of open debate and free speech... FOR HIM.

I was traveling, so sorry about the video quality, but someone had to say this:

It’s time for the white community to stop playing the victim & have an uncomfortable conversation about violence, parental responsibility & the families raising the thugs causing all the white-on-white violence in Republican-controlled cities. Maybe it’s their culture Did I do it right?

Are leftists responsible for the rise in hate and political violence, or is it the far right? We looked at the data.

In spite of how you feel about Charlie Kirk, Donald Trump or politics in general, what does the data say about the rise in hate crimes & political violence? We checked.

I am proud to be Black AF, A GenXer whose love languages are books, music and creating cultural moments. Black AF History is essential reading for ANYONE that knows that Black History IS American History. Find a copy, read it and share the knowledge for generations to come! MamaK

Here’s my write up on the most racist decision to come out of the Supreme Court in a while. The court approved of Trump’s racial profiling of Latinos with Brett Kavanaugh saying being harassed based on the color of your skin is “common sense.” My latest in @thenation

For some people, living under military occupation is an American tradition

We know how Trump, Republicans and Jillian Michaels feel about museums, history & slavery. But what do historians, scholars & educators think about what this administration is doing

I’m constantly annoyed at how little you motherfuckers tweet about Charlie Ward.

The story of the military occupation of DC began 388 years ago when a drunk, undocumented immigrant with a criminal history went on a crime spree & refused to self-deport The end is always the same.

Pablo Torre might be the first podcast to win a Pulitzer because that Steve Ballmer interview on Sportcenter left everyone feeling like:

When Tiffany Cross referred to WH adviser Stephen Miller as a “white supremacist,” apparently, people who don’t own dictionaries were outraged Fortunately, we found someone who can clarify things

I’ll be going live on ContrabandCamp with journalist and “Native Land” co-host Tiffany Cross at 1:30 PM ET to discuss the outrage & white tears over her calling Stephen Miller a “white supremacist” open.substack.com/live-stream/...

We found hundreds of examples of federal agencies & institutions purging their websites of anything Black, including: -Profiles of Black military heroes (Army) -Documents on the Tulsa Race Massacre (National Archives) -Resources for educators for teaching slavery (NMAAHC)

Profiles of Black veterans, guides for teaching Black history & historical documents are just a few of the online resources that have vanished from official gov't websites since Trump took office.

There’s an African American adage that explains the Jillian Michaels/Trump/Smithsonian/slavery debate: “Black people know white people better than white people know themselves.”

The only thing I can say about this paragraph is read it. Sit with it. Read it again. @michaelharriot.bsky.social

Here's a free bank account security answer for everyone: my favorite author of all time is @michaelharriot.bsky.social - he Does. Not. Miss.

I saw “Cracker Barrel” trending and thought y’all were still talking about Sidney Sweeney’s jeans.

2015. Selma to Montgomery March. I took one of most random photos ever taken. No further explanation needed IYKYK

"Mainstream" (pronounced "WHY-itt) media is a place where a lady who does situps, an anonymous text & the tears of a racist clown hold as much intellectual weight as a Black historian, expert or scholar

I love that the people crying “release the Epstein files” ALSO want to prevent museums from teaching the history of the human trafficking system created by powerful white men who sexually assaulted the women they held captive…. Because it’s “divisive.”

I’ll be going live with ContrabandCamp subscribers at 3:30 pm ET to discuss the Trump Administration’s plans for the National Museum of African American History and Culture. open.substack.com/live-stream/...

What do I know about fascism?

There is the same number of police officers in DC today as last week. Just more men with guns

That was the whole point

If you're as concerned about white people feeling "unsafe" as the president, gentrifiers and the staff of Morning Joe, here's a handy-dandy guide on how you can help.

So far, Trump's plan to make immigrants white again has targeted: A Ph.D. candidate in Africana studies An R&B singer A Morehouse alum A Black American citizen An entire basketball team

😂😂😂😂 “Methodology”

If you have a student attending Howard: My new course, "The Black University" [AFRO 121-02] was finally listed as open for enrollment. I have seats available for a few students who want to join this class. This one, part of the larger work to #JailbreakTheBlackUniversity , going to hit different.

Serious question: What is the one specific thing that would convince you that you’re living in an authoritarian state?

It’s only been ONE DAY and I’m already tired of hearing white people explain why a few hundred armed, trained killers might make the public feel safer. You know which “public” they’re talking about. Gonna be a long week.

"Holding them accountable is not just our duty; it is as close to a commandment as ever existed. If we did this, we wouldn’t have to worry about Confederates, Nazis or a fascist, racist, incompetent insurrectionist president." @michaelharriot.bsky.social

The fallacy in this “capitulating” narrative is the assumption that billionaires & elite institutions are being strongarmed by Trump, but they don’t really WANT a white supremacist, Christian nationalist authoritarian oligarchy Do you have any evidence that they’re victims and not co-conspirators?

What happens to a democracy when Confederates and lynch mobsters and segregationists and all-white jurors and gerrymanderers and vote suppressors and insurrectionists and election deniers aren't held accountable for their actions? This.

The latest superb @contrabandcamp.bsky.social post from @michaelharriot.bsky.social, a writer who uses history to tell urgent truths instead of cherrypicking it for propaganda. Highest recommendation!

Read the previously unreleased chapter that was cut from "Black AF History: The Unwhitewashed Story of America"

“In a second version of the American Eagle ad, the camera follows as she walks, lingering on her classic Caucasian derriere as brief and thin as the Gettysburg Address.” damnnnn…I love that sentence.

How did American Eagle get people to buy jeans that look like how celery tastes? They used the same marketing strategy that made Kellogg's Cornflakes the world's #1 cereal It's why America's 1st billionaire nepo baby funded German "research" in the 1930s It's why the SAT exists

We shouldn't condemn Sidney Sweeney for accepting the role of American Eagle's official dog whistler. Even if race scientists and eugenicists were America's ORIGINAL influencers, it's not her fault. As Sweeney already told us... It's in her genes.

If you consider their fame AND their hair, which celebrity had the #1: 1. High top fade 2. Jheri Curl 3. Afro 4. Asymmetrical 5. Cornrows 6. Locs 5. Low Ceaser 6. Non-afro natural
