#RepresentationMatters: The Importance of Black Presidents, Black Panther and Black GCs in Black History Month 2018
No matter what accomplishments you make, somebody helped you. --Althea Gibson None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth! I thought I would share on here an article I wrote and posted on LinkedIn for #BHM in 2018 that was inspired by a tweet by one of my favorite Twitter mutuals Tiffany Graves.

"Is there technology the left is excited about?" is the kind of question you only ask if you're wildly naive about technology.
mRNA vaccines. Heat pumps. Offshore wind. Urban mining. Sodium batteries.
But god forbid we're not fawning over every new implementation of Making Computers Bad At Math.

Raphael Warnock is one of the best in Congress. He is also literally the pastor of the same church MLK was the pastor of. Their religion made both of them better leaders. Anyone who thinks Democrats should ignore religion is absolutely insane.

i am begging people to understand that without black church attendees, especially women, the democratic party is not a viable political party and religion isnt just about right wing evangelicals.

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades.
It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

Someone doused Renee Good’s Minneapolis memorial and a nearby pile of wood with gasoline and started a fire at about 9 p.m. Tuesday.

The decline of right wing cultural production is just due to the fact that they don’t like culture, they like the signifiers of culture, ie “classic sculpture means white people are better.” They don’t like art at all except for this purpose. They don’t even like the nerd stuff they whine about
