really liked this about how racism isn’t just a moral failure, but the operating system for authoritarianism. we treat "talking about race" as a strategy question. but the reason to talk about it is to prevent the power grab that we're going to face

The civil rights rollbacks we’re witnessing aren’t just policy decisions—they’re strategic moves by those invested in preserving a status quo and closing the doors to education, jobs, health access and so much more.

All the Dems who lined up behind Cuomo—burning through corporate cash, pushing wild narratives, and teaming up with folks like Bill Ackman—are hoping we forget.

We shouldn’t.

So happy whenever I see folks acknowledging the negative impact of police shows and films on American culture and policy.

I write about this with L&O:SVU as a case study (and interviewed @rashadrobinson.bsky.social about it) in the framing chapter of my forthcoming media literacy graphic novel.

lol oh this is about cops? Oh okay

There's a lot of movies and tv shows about police. Like more than you think and one of my friends wrote about how stuff like this impacts actual policing.

Whitewashing the uncomfortable parts of the past doesn't just affect Black stories. For example, you can't fully appreciate how a peanut farmer from Plains, GA became a beloved president unless you know TRUE Black History.

The unwhitewashed history of Jimmy Carter:

A thread.
