Don’t worry! If you need a scholarship, please send an email with “Scholarship request” to [email protected] This summer, we were able to fund more than 40 scholarships for Race, Media, and International Affairs 101. We can’t promise funds for everyone but we will try!

Friday, Sept. 26, is the FINAL DAY for signups for my independent class, Race, Media and International Affairs 101 and 102. We WILL NOT new enrollments after 11:59 pm on the 26th. Classes start Oct. 6th! Enroll here: www.resistancesummerschool.com/fall-2025-re...

At Little Man's hockey game yesterday, saw an angry white man wearing a Gadsden flag shirt that read, "My rights don't depend on your feelings." But my rights as a disabled woman absolutely depend on his/people like him. And the rights of trans/queer/Black/brown/immigrants/etc. depend even more so.

Well, I'm *officially* in my Rogue Radical era now! Sept 26th,is the last day to sign up for my Race, Media and International Affairs online classes. They don't want us to talk about race and history, but I'm going to teach it anyway. Enroll here! www.resistancesummerschool.com/fall-2025-re...

Kicked out of Columbia University, now Washington Post. All for writing and speaking about race and injustice. The best way to support my work is to join @resistanceschool.bsky.social and take my class on Race, Media and International Affairs 101! www.resistancesummerschool.com/fall-2025-re...

We have at least 1 guest to talk about the intersection of the hockey Canada trial and the Canes, and how even exploring these players is problematic. Would love more of a roundtable this Sunday, DM if interested.

I could use a new hoodie.

It was very telling that for three days, none of the major TV anchors would have me on air one-on-one to talk about my firing from the Washington Post over Charlie Kirk. The first offers were from Black media, independent media, Substackers, and podcasters.

I am starting to think that we all go to the #RaiseUp women in Sports night. In teal. With signs. And that we purchase as many tickets as possible and donate them all to local women's centers/rape crisis groups, who also show up in teal with their signs.

Happening now: @karenattiah.bsky.social in conversation with Mahmoud Khalil, who was detained for over 100 days in a Louisiana immigration jail after being arrested without a warrant.

1 in 6, @erictulsky.bsky.social 1 in 6. Do the math. rainn.org/facts-statis...

I know there’s a whole front office of people to blame for this, but the one person who has been held up as the moral compass of Hurricanes culture is Rod Brind’Amour. This signing shows who he is more than anyone else in the organization, in my opinion. He can fuck off with the rest of them.

PBS North Carolina has begun laying off employees this week in response to the elimination of federal funding for public media. I'm trying to get details on how many, but so far there's been no public disclosure: www.wunc.org/politics/202... #ncpol

Nearly cut 1/2" off the tip of my finger last night and that was the least painful moment of the past two weeks. For me at least, mental pain is always harder to manage than physicalZ. (Also, thanks to the ED at UNC Hillsborough for reattaching it)

A friend reposted this by @zellieimani.bsky.social from 2020 and it remains apt: “For the oppressed, peace is the absence of oppression. But for the oppressor, peace is the absence of resistance."

Cool package from @cenmag.bsky.social!!! cen.acs.org/people/profi...

NEW: The H-2A visa program has failed to protect migrant farmworkers from wage theft, forced labor, violence and death. Here’s what experts, lawyers and advocates think would make the program safer. By @maxblau.bsky.social

So many people are asking how they can support me.. The best way .. is to support @resistanceschool.bsky.social! I’ll be teaching Race, Media and International Affairs 101 and 102 next month. Sign up for lectures by me and guest speakers! www.resistancesummerschool.com/fall-2025-re...

For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

As an archivist, this keeps me up.

The @newrepublic.com actually does very useful and helpful REPORTING. How about @propublica.org? Excellent. The @51st.news is doing excellent actual reporting. So is @thetriibe.com in Chicago. There are so many other places to get actual useful news.

As disrespectfully as possible, if the canes sign Carter Hart, that’s the last time I will ever attend a game or support the organization.

What's being "protected" is not "free speech" but rather the RIGHT for white men to be white supremacists in public without any criticism or any consequences. I hope that's clear.

If you are a white person who subscribes to the Washington Post, your solidarity should not be expressed in "feeling badly" but in cancelling your subscription today if you have one. Otherwise no one wants to hear anything from you.

OK folks! Time to start filling the Storm Cellar calendar for Season 6! If you would like to come on the podcast and share your Caniac story, let us know here, via DM, or email us at: stormcellar97 @ gmail New to hockey? Got some cool anecdotes!? Come on our family &!LQBTQ+ friendly pod cast!

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.

Annnnddd....as expected, here go the HBCU threats. Right on cue

The absence of mourning is not equal to the presence of celebration, and it’s strange how many people have conflated the two over the last day.

My question this am: 1. It is the 24th anniversary of 9/11. 2. Three children, including the shooter, are in the hospital in Colorado following a school shooting yesterday. 3. A well-known man was killed, spawning calls to kill people in "blue" areas like mine. Q: Do I send my son to school today?

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

Read the thread. What comes next?

When people say political violence has no place in this country: People get shocked when I pointed out that gun sales skyrocketed over 200% under Obama, even while he was just the nominee.. And jumped even more when he became president. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...

At least three teenagers were in critical condition after being shot Wednesday afternoon on the grounds of Evergreen High School. The suspected shooter was among the three. coloradosun.com/2025/09/10/e...

This is my fear. Every time. That Black people, brown people, LGBTQ+ people, the poor, the mentally ill, the most vulnerable people in our country will bear the brunt of violence caused by others. Because that is how it has gone down since Day 1 of this country. And that is what is happening here.

Take the class. You know you want to.

In the minds of most Americans, we’ve tended to mythologize the Warren Court as most representative of the Supreme Court, when in truth, for most of our history the Court has ruled against minority rights, upheld the power of wealthy white men, and rarely protected the most vulnerable.

Hey, I know those guys! Thanks for having them on the pod yesterday!

ProPublica identified 17 people who each shielded at least $1 billion in capital gains from the so-called Net Investment Income Tax. Together, this small group, by collectively exempting more than $35 billion, saved about $1.3 billion in taxes. (Published Dec. 2024)
