Quoted on the front page of USA Today today on Trump’s plan to send the National Guard into majority-Black cities and those with Black leadership. Thanks to @dberryjourno.bsky.social and Terry Collins for amplifying this critical conversation.

Stopped by campus to check on a book delivery. Instead, I found this oversized hate mail in my university mailbox. They even used the NAACP as the return address.

This is what it means to be a Black scholar who tells the truth. I will not be silenced.

Here’s today’s hate mail. It’s likely in response to my quote in USA Today about the reparations bill. When journalists ask for my thoughts, I don’t sanitize the truth. I speak it. Messages like this only prove that honesty still rattles cages. #TruthTeller #Unbothered #StillSpeakingUp

In May, I will be moderating a discussion with David Greenberg about his new book, "John Lewis: A Life." This talk is sponsored by the Montclair Literary Festival. If you're interested, please take a look at the flyer below for more details.

Said by the billionaire himself. So many people look up to this ruthless fool, believing that one day, they can be him. Just sad!
