Checking in to share my ten cents on The Black Studies Podcast. Sometimes I feel like an outsider in my own discipline. Thankful for the opportunity to weigh in. Good stuff. And much work to do! #blacksky #blackstudies #blackstudy #africanamericanstudies #edusky

So Target chose violence. Where is the strategy to boycott the b.s.? Please circulate initiatives for alternatives, especially Black owned retailers. I really can get my toiletries and black owned products elsewhere. #blacksky #target #dei #boycott

Trump's attempt to nullify the 14th Amendment's birthright citizenship provision is an attempt to reverse one of the most important outcomes of the Civil War, the idea that American citizenship is not based on race www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
The Attack on Birthright Citizenship Is a Big Test for the Constitution

Who is next, we need to ask? Political dissidents? Those with roots in "enemy" nations? Those who will not take an oath? What is NEW about the executive order is the door it opens to rethinking the terms of citizenship for all of us.

#Meta is trash. The gaslighting is deplorable. Trying to make us think we were following these accounts in the first place.
It seems like those IG accounts aren’t from the previous administration…
Oh yeah no that’s not good! Has anyone else encountered this?! Full video on @hopeyoufindyourdad.bsky.social TikTok account

I had to write this. It's personal, supplier diversity was my brainchild, but it also has implications for all of us - from the types of products made, their harm, and who we enrich using their platforms.

I hope it makes you consider where and how you use social media: shorturl.at/BYa5r
Opinion | Mark Zuckerberg, in with Trump now, is no longer pretending to care about diversity
What might strike outsiders as a change in ethos for the company is just Zuckerberg showing us who he really is.

If you were following #VPHarris on Instagram, know that the demon has taken over the account. Now it looks like a nation of Black people and Black women follow scumbag city. Go unfollow if you care. #blacksky #academicsky #politics

Woke up today absolutely disgusted by the majority of certain groups voting for this bumbling fool. What a disgrace. And devastatingly consistent.

Thinking especially of Glen Ford this evening. He never let us forget that the US is a corporate duopoly, a “corporate dictatorship where the rich have two parties and the rest of us, effectively, have none.”

Following his death in 2015, Alice Walker wrote this poem in memory of Julian Bond. Today, on what would have been his 85th birthday, I post it here.

#ClubQuaratine was a balm for the soul last night at the Kennedy Center. Surprise guests were so much fun. Rhapsody, Arrested Development, Anthony Hamilton and others. But to see the legends Big Daddy Kane and the Gawd, Rakim. SWOON. D-Nice is a gift. The full-length Shearling took me out!

The Commanders are benefiting from the 2022 name-change when the team finally admitted the original name and mascot were racist and offensive. Look at them now! #commanders #football #ancestors
