Joy Reid. Karen Attiah. Gene Robinson. Jonathan Capehart. There are lots of others. Circumstances differ. But really sad to see new organizations not keeping super-talented Black staffers. The news industry spent decades talking about diversity, improved some from 2014-2020 and is now going back.

A benefit of being in charge of marketing my favorite books is that I can spend time trying to sell them better. This morning, I’m touching up the data (rewriting copy, shifting keywords, adding a TON of praise from reviews) for A Dance to the Music of Time.
I’ll share some of those reviews below.

There is a staggering level of blasé naivety in Canada's media coverage of MAGA's attempt to destroy our country.
National Post and subsidiaries are American owned and totally onside.
CBC/ CTV are bending over backwards to be "fair" to Vichy Canada.
Wake up folks.

Two years ago Poilievre implied in the House of Commons that Trudeau is a pedophile who sexually preyed on students in his capacity as a teacher.
Last year in the House of Commons in a debate about wildfires, Poilievre said the government had started them.
Why on earth let him back in?

It’s clear: Trump and Musk want to make it harder and harder for the elderly and disabled to utilize Social Security.
They don’t care how much pain they cause. Their ultimate goal is to make Social Security dysfunctional, to privatize it and to let Wall Street take it over.
