How to be antiracist in the authoritarian age: a conversation with Ibram X Kendi · Showing Up for Racial Justice

How are authoritarians able to win over so many white people? And convince them that they’re better off with fewer rights and economic instability? And what will it take to beat them at their own game...

What we allow, persists. Sexist, racist, and anti-semetic. Incredibly dangerous to continue to allow. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

The theme of Trump’s second term is his using the power of the presidency as though it’s his own. That manifests in tantrums booting media outlets from the White House. More harmfully, it also manifests in blocking federal funding to states that didn’t vote for him. www.ctinsider.com/columnist/ar...

@troyjackson207.bsky.social needs to speak on this every single day until November 3rd. Campaign finance fraud by Sen. Collins, 1/26 female Senators, in the name of Women and Girls in STEM by a party that banned DEI while cutting STEM research & education funding is about as diabolical as it gets.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

A growing number of Black boys and young men have stepped into the role of caregiver. Most don’t know or consider themselves “youth caregivers.” They’re just “good” sons and grandchildren. https://bit.ly/4xCDiAF

The land ICE picked for a facility outside Gilroy spent about 30 years as an agricultural research station. Nobody ran the full environmental review before construction started. California and the county went to federal court over it. What Judge Eumi Lee did: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/eight-wins...

When I first introduced my bill to ban stock trading in Congress 5 years ago, only a handful joined us. Since then, we’ve built a movement of bipartisan reformers committed to ending the corruption once and for all. The time is now Speaker Johnson. Put the bill on the floor.

Fox wants to buy Roku — yes, the same Fox as Fox News. This could let Fox steer their content to 80 MILLION U.S. households. We can’t let this happen.

Holy shit I think I just saved a man’s life. Just saw 1 of our unhoused friends fall over on the sidewalk—so I pulled my car over to help. I don’t really recall specifics of what happened but I used the NARCAN I keep in my car. Someone called EMTs, who thanked me and said the man should be okay.

Runaway Ashley doesn’t want to debate. Wonder why. Maybe it’s the corporate donors. Maybe it’s the $10 million healthcare scandal. Maybe she just doesn’t want to answer to working people. Either way, if you’re too scared to debate, you’re too scared to lead.
