This tired playbook has been working for way too long. Whose fault is that?


I don’t think this is the backlash. It’s a ‘business decision’ that bets most people won’t miss that kind of reporting. Also, it’s their signal to the middle & the right saying they’re willing to sacrifice these issues “if we (power) can work on a compromise & getting along.”

Also found out earlier today that another news outlet got rid of their race / social justice reporting team because we’re “past racism and the George Floyd beat” and ofc they fired all the reporters of color Is this backlash? What is going on?

BREAKING NEWS: #SCOTUS has upheld the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) in Haaland v. Brackeen.

#SCOTUS has released its opinion in #Brackeen. A case that challenged a 40-yr-old law to prevent family separation in Native communities & threatened tribal sovereignty. In a victory for tribes, the Court upheld #ICWA.



no doubt

Diar DeRozan is the real MVP



Took a team effort to make this happen over the weekend.

This weekend, I spoke with @nowthisnews about eradicating poverty, racism, and militarism and creating the Beloved Community. It’s going to take moving from being ‘thing-oriented’ to being ‘people-oriented.’ #PoorPeoplesCampaign #MoralAssembly2022 #MLK



She’s not wrong…

Nobody has ever been more surprised than a husband hearing about his wife's plans for the second time.



Can’t wait for my little one to see this. I’m going to tell him I was behind the camera. Hopefully now he'll put some respect on my name lol

Did you know NowThis is going to be featured in the new film '@JurassicWorld Dominion’? No, really! Check out the exclusive footage ahead of the film’s June 10 release



Yeah… nah

When an opossum got loose inside a Brooklyn bar, one fearless woman sprang into action by catching the critter & carrying it outside bare-handed. The woman, identified as Sara Fulton, approached the opossum ‘without flinching’ and even said, ‘Hold my phone, I’m from Alaska.’ 😂



S/O to @tmckenna1 and @XavierTYWang for helping me get this over the finish line. This is what in it for the long haul looks like

The three last-known living survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre, a race riot where approx 300 Black residents were killed by a white mob in Tulsa, Oklahoma, are part of a reparations lawsuit against the city. The terror from the 1921 attack is still fresh in their memories.

A powerful scene outside the NRA in Houston.

Across the street from the NRA convention: “Am I next?”



…and things are still unfolding here too.

This is chilling. (And, I believe, a ⁦@TheBuffaloNews⁩ scoop by two very well sourced local reporters): Authorities investigating if retired federal agent knew of Buffalo mass shooting plans in advance. buffalonews.com/news/local/aut…



Some people cover these types of stories so much that they’re desensitized to the violence. I am not those people
