    Thread: black life & death & “accessible language.” Today, my 10th/11th graders listened to Saidiya Hartman, Hortense Spillers & Fred Moten speak in Arthur Jafa’s “Dreams are Colder than Death.” We read poems about Juneteenth and talked about Black life in the wake of slavery.

    Trump's racism is not "a distraction". Folks always say something's a distraction when they don't want to deal with it. Racism is the central issue in this country. I frankly don't trust any elected leaders or politicos trying to downplay this issue.

    Y’all are really so basic. There were a lot of journalists of color IN PARTICULAR covering Obama critically, including me. And immigrant communities were protesting and marching in the street, calling Obama the deporter-in-chief. Y’all just weren’t listening.

    Don’t seek out a school just because it’s "prestigious." Find out if there are people there who do the things you’d like to do. Notice the plural, don’t move for one person particularly a junior faculty member who may move (3/7)

    You are angry because you can’t conceive of an America that includes us. You rely on a frightened America for your plunder. You won’t accept a nation that sees healthcare as a right or education as a #1 priority, especially where we’re the ones fighting for it. Yet here we are.

    I can’t stop laughing this morning as 45 tells Congresspeople to go back to their crime infested country of (checks notes) the US of A. Three of the people he’s attacking were born in this fucking hellscape.

    You can tell Republicans don’t really believe Obama started the migrant camps, because then they would be trying to close them
