It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Damn.

Honestly, its going to be women who will lead and rise in this dark time. We are the fighters, protectors, providers and innovators.
To all the women on my timeline-- I hope you're ready, in whatever way that means to you.

60 years ago today, the Voting Rights Act became a landmark law against racial discrimination in elections.
My latest @npr.org story is about the new threats facing the law’s remaining protections for minority voters

I know it’s a troll. I also know that this is an official government account sharing art that was designed to propagate Indigenous dispossession, cultural destruction, and conquest, and that whoever shared this surely knew it. It is right there in the painting.

Today I spent 3 hours with Brad Lander and his family, giving them a private tour on Brooklyn’s Muslim, Arab, and South Asian histories. I am so grateful for their deep curiosity and desire to support my work and our communities.
Happy Birthday Mr. Comptroller. You’re fam now.

In Feb. on Velshi I said Trump won due to racial anxiety not economic anxiety, as evidence by his policies. The bill Republicans passed is the proof. Months of stoking racial fears through anti-DEI mandates, ICE raids, to push through a bill that takes food and healthcare from struggling Americans.
