White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Nation's Divide
YouTube video by Emory University

My GREATEST hope is that every single white person in this country would watch this video so they can at least come CLOSE to understanding the experiences of Black people since the inception of our country.
PLEASE share widely for the good of all.

Early reader reactions: “Wow!” and “your style has bags of character” and “I just had whiskey, but I think this is pretty good.” Give this long-form caregiving narrative essay a read and share your story too if you’d like:

Jack Smith’s report proves what we already knew—Trump’s survival hinges not on innocence but on exploiting the presidency as a legal shield. We deserve a leader who upholds the law, not one who hides behind it while planning their next scheme.

David Leonhardt ignored the advice of his New York Times colleague, Carlos Lozada, who last year, in a passage discussing my essay “White Backlash,” warned about the dangers of this kind of framing in his review of the book MYTH AMERICA edited by @kevinmkruse.bsky.social and @zelizer.bsky.social.

Up late last night, Trump falsely suggested presidential elections are not exclusively based on the Electoral College.
A stunning display demonstrating a lack of basic Constitutional understanding.

In America, a cancer diagnosis isn’t just a health crisis.
It’s a financial death sentence.
This is what happens when greed runs healthcare.
