Canva flagged one of my historical fiction slides about an upcoming book as “political.”
If you don’t think the political climate is affecting art, you are deluded.

Nothing is going to change until white people get angry about what is going on and actually show that anger...
Black people been angry for a few centuries... that's why they want us there... to show that anger...
We need to continue to pass and let them take the lead on this...

I feel like ppl want Black folks out there bc the protests aren't getting as much coverage as they'd like.
That's because they're not actually disruptive. Peaceful protests are supposed to interrupt regular life.

What are the odds that enough Supreme Court Justices believe we shouldn't put people in foreign torture prisons without due process & especially when the government misrepresents the evidence it has in briefs it submits to the Court?

What Cory Booker has done with his marathon speech is not just break a record.
He testified the will of the people.
He upheld the values of our democracy.
He called to the values many of us hold dear
AND he broke the record of a raging racist bigot while doing so.
All in a day’s work.

the constitution isn’t is a word game and the fact that you can abuse the language to produce an outcome does not mean the constitution allows that outcome. the 22nd amendment was ratified to restrict a president to two terms in office, period. that is what it does.
Anyone discounting a 3d Trump term per the 22d am + the 12th am is thinking magically: The 22d dsn’t bar *serving* a 3d term, only being *elected* 3 times. The 12th dsn’t bar running for VP unless “ineligible” to serve as Pres, but Trump isn’t ineligible. QED!
