I often say that the fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. But let me be clear, if you aren’t fighting for Black voting rights right now then you aren’t really fighting for democracy.

The principles are the same regardless of virus. 1. Precautionary principle 2. Droplet/ close contact are incorrect and indicate close range, higher concentration aerosol transmission 3. A/pre-symptomatic transmission is more common than thought (see also 1. And Intl Hanta Soc stmt 🤷‍♀️)

Bernie has never been the guy.

Paradox of intolerance for those reading at home.

Fact check: true

People always talk about our systems aren't working, but that's too comfortable of an explanation. It's utterly illogical to contend a systems intent is anything other than the consistent output of that system. Our system is working as intended, it continues to produce the same outcomes.

Americans have a habit of trying to compare all authoritarianism to Nazi Germany. I think in some ways i think it is comforting to view authoritarianism as a foreign ideology. If you want to understand our current authoritarian moment, you need to look to our own past, not to Europe 1/x

Wrote an article for Truthout about how the recent SCOTUS decision and how it and this administration has sought to impose Jim Crow through "colorblind" means smh

3. Two words: precautionary principle. 4. Assume it *could be* airborne and transmitted among humans and act accordingly. 5. Assume that it *could be* a newly emerging zoonotic virus, or that it is a known virus that has evolved to be more transmissible or virulent, and act accordingly.

Important update.

11/ In terms of the U.S. response, epidemiologists and CDC scientists are actively involved behind the scenes, including through an Emergency Operations Center and coordination with W.H.O. They are working their butts off, but I have some major questions for CDC leadership and the administration.

Reliable source with updates within.

On this week's pod, I interviewed Austin McCoy about his tremendous book "Living in a D.A.I.S.Y. Age: The Music, Culture and World De La Soul Made." I felt like a kid in a candy store talking to someone who knew so much about a group that meant so much to me. www.thenation.com/podcast/cult...

It was an honor to appear on Dave Zirin's Edge of Sports podcast to talk about Living in a D.A.I.S.Y. Age. Had a lot of fun chatting about De La Soul, my experiences growing up listening to the group, and music history. The episode is out now!

Join us here at Forbes to discuss how killing a bunch of girls at a school will impact your summer travel plans.

Yooooooooooo

I'm actually ok if this Canvas hack lasts a few more weeks.

That said today would be a good good day to donate to the NAACP, ACLU and so on

🚨🚨 I know money is tight but, please consider donating to help them keep that pro bono promise! www.thelibertyunderground.org/donate

🗣️ ATTENTION ATTENTION!!!! *Clears throat* Did ya‘ll know that The Liberty Underground is a grass roots org of lawyers, law students, translators and others who work to advise & free people abducted by I.C.E.? All services are pro bono—those who seek help from TLU will never be charged money.

Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow

THREAD🧵#OTD May 7, 1955 Entrepreneur, minister and voting rights fighter in Mississippi Rev. George Washington Lee was murdered by the KKK for registering Black people to vote. His death preceded that of Emmitt Till's by three months. Don't know about Rev. George Lee? Glad you asked.

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social burns a confederate flag in the rotunda after the House passed 9-0 maps stripping Memphis of representation… #Memphis #JimCrow @MarshaBlackburn @GovBillLee

"Your racist maps won't silence us!" TN voters were kicked while watching their rights be stripped away. Mother Jones' @garrisonhayes.bsky.social reports on the scene:

We are ready to go. This course is going to be the pinnacle of my professional career. It's going to matter.

Literally this. Too many of you never cared why the base didn't like him. You just whined on and on about it being stolen and how Black folks voted against their own interests. This *is* white supremacy. By doing this stuff you're being a white supremacist.

Follow this thread to see the white supremacist left in action. White people gotta stop this crap.

So cooked. We are a truly dumb country.

Just finished a lecture on the history of the Voting Rights Act for my public health content. Literally nothing in public health matters in our system if the people cannot be represented.

I'm a better dad, husband, and professor due to Sertraline.

On this day in 1963, hundreds of Black children began a movement peacefully protesting racial segregation in Birmingham, Alabama, as part of the Children's Crusade and faced intense police brutality, sparking nationwide outrage.

Thinking back to that one student who gave me terrible ratings of instruction because of my project 2025 assignment. They told me "there are checks and balances to prevent all of this and this guy is an idiot".

I love this so much for them.

Crenshaw is a genius.

Hear me out - tell your kids a story you made up on your own.

White folks - you must avoid this type urge you have to opine just how good things used to be.

Sharing since others aren't.

Southern Poverty Law Center: “We will not stand for this perversion and misuse of the criminal legal system and will continue to expose hate and defend civil rights as we always have - no matter who tries to stop us.” Go SPLC! 🔥

Things are happening! Big thank you to all the folks pitching in and donating their time to help me establish this important organization. #philly #TheLibertyUnderground

For the record - Colorado asked FNS to do this and the administration said no. Also, it'd be an amazing intervention helping the most vulnerable among us.

I was wrong, take your kid to work day is awesome. She loves being on a college campus.

A little background on who the Southern Poverty Law Center is and what kind of work they’ve been doing for decades makes it clear that DOJ’s indictment (which is of the center, not of any individuals) is vindictive & malicious, an attack on civil rights work itself. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Takes a lot to see Boston winning as the good timeline.

Remove all our bases from our imperial grip.
