I feel like this is an on-brand anecdote for my followers: I checked out an atlas from the library that apparently hadn't been used much since the '80s, and, unbeknownst to me, ended up with a bright yellow sticker that says "OVER SIZE" on my pants for the rest of the day

See? This is the danger of throwing “felon” around too loosely. Now we have liberals using felony employment as a joke. Dislike Trump all you want, but joking about felony employment isn’t it.

Sigh…I have to tap the “Stop Blaming Black Men” sign again. No other group of men in this country will be as strong of a voting block for the Democratic Party nominee than Black men. In fact, Black men will be more Dem than any group of *women* other than Black women. Stop it!

Despite the claims made before the election, Black men showed up more in 2020 than in 2016. Black women’s support for Trump increased slightly. Neither of these facts should distract from the fact that Black America deserves to be the focus of some policies given their support.

Happy birthday to the legendary Art Blakey, who was born on this day in 1919! Blakey made a name for himself in the 40s in the big bands of Fletcher Henderson and Billy Eckstine. He then worked with bebop musicians Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, and Dizzy Gillespie. In the…

To all those parents of children born hundreds of years ago who chose to give their offspring distinctive middle names, especially those who gave them their mother's birth surname as a middle name, I thank you from the bottom of my heart...

One day of tragedy used to destroy hundreds of millions of lives over two decades. If our rage were allowed it would crumble mountains with its screams. 1. An anti-war protest sign, at a rally in DC, in 2005. This image was taken one month after the devastation of Hurricane…

If you're appalled by the anti-Haitian and racist trash that Vance, Musk, and Cruz are spewing, do something that will support the community that's being targeted & terrorized by them. Give $ to orgs like the Haitian community center in Springfield, OH: haitiansupportcenterspringfield.org

The rules are complex enough that no one can ever be fully in compliance. That’s our secret power. When your time comes, we know you are out of compliance.
