SLIMMMMMMM 🤯 @BrittBundlez wins it for the @WashMystics 90-88 at the buzzer against the New York Liberty snapping their 8-game win streak on the last day of the regular szn #MoreThanGame
My relationship w hiphop—as much as I love(d) it—has been nothing less than complicated over time, one of the reasons I felt compelled to write about it This astoundingly good interview w @dreamhampton only reminds me how similarly we’ve thought about hiphop over the years ✊🏾🙏🏾
There is no round table, no lecture, no invitation we will accept to debate an undeniable fact: There were no redeeming qualities of slavery.
When long-haulers talk about their fatigue, they often hear “Oh I’m tired too”. But theirs is utterly different to the everyday version healthy people get. More severe. Very hard to push through (& costly if you try). Not cured by sleep. Multifaceted. 3/ theatlantic.com/health/archive…

Star @thejosellana says #HereLiesLove is “the best party on Broadway right now” — but is also “a little bit of a history lesson.” Llana, a Filipino-American, shares why he wanted to be part of the show and why he believes the story is more relevant than ever.
here, I've fixed it for you - "She was free of the obsessive desire to have hits at any cost...she saw no need to edit herself for public consumption...she stuck to her guns when powerful forces tried to make her compromise..."
What’s particularly sad is that we have to spend so much time relitigating history that should be long settled. Because it is so hard for some people to admit how brutally horrific slavery really was in America.
Florida wants to teach about "skills" slaves obtained in the antebellum south because "beneficent" slaveholders taught their slaves to read, write, blacksmithing, etc. They say this is supported by "scholars." Well, let's see what the scholars really say.../1
34 percent of Harvard students are white. 43 percent of those students are either legacies, children of faculty, kin of donors or a recruited athlete. 75 percent of them would not have gotten in if not for special status (National Bureau of Economic Research). But when in doubt,…
The biggest beneficiaries of affirmative action over the past 60 years have been white women. That remains unchanged. *Currently* most elite schools give a bump to white men, whose grades and scores are now consistency outpaced by women. They'll still get affirmative action too.
Before you begin your thinkpiece, the Supreme Court DID NOT strike down Affirmative Action Admission preferences for legacies, donors, employee families and special recommendations are still allowed The Court struck down Affirmative Action For everyone except WHITE PEOPLE
Asian students have been convinced by white folks that Black students have been taking their spots in college. Now more white legacy and affluent students will get in and take those spots Asian students thought we were taking.
BREAKING: #SCOTUS strikes down the race-conscious admissions policies at both Harvard and UNC.
"While we are all disheartened and dismayed by this decision, we are also clear about the mandate that we all have before us, and that is not to abandon the project of diversity, but to double down on it, because that is what our democracy requires." - @JNelsonLDF
Y'all are gonna bring that same energy to end legacy admissions at universities, too... Right?
“If you did college admissions [solely] by academic talent, half the people in the elite schools would have to leave”
"The attack on affirmative action is part of the larger, extremist attack on young people and future generations of Americans who are more...racially and ethnically diverse and inclusive than the waning demographic of the electorate.” @JNelsonLDF theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
My biggest takeaway from the Titan story is that we absolutely could have coordinated, multinational efforts to ensure no migrant dies crossing the sea and we choose not to.
