In "No More Water: The Gospel of James Baldwin", Meshell Ndegeocello marks the centenary of the writer’s birth. And with its roots in a Baldwin-themed 2016 performance, this 17-track album is "part church service and part exploration of the strife and succour built into Black identity".

What a lot of liberals lack in intelligence, they make up for in fear. Panic (rather than thoughtful persuasion) guides how they communicate with people who aren’t perfectly aligned with them.
Sad!

You'd really think that at some point liberals would recognize that pointing out how bad Trump is doesn't help sell people on Biden. Like we have genuine, legitimate criticisms of Biden's policies, scaremongering us doesn't make those go away.

Google and Facebook devouring ad revenue ravaged the US journalism industry well before TikTok even existed. The impact of those two companies on the state of media cannot be overlooked by anyone who actually takes the subject seriously.

UPDATE: More than 40 protesters were arrested on OSU’s campus last night.
According to a faculty member, the Columbus Police have destroyed the encampment on Ohio State’s campus. At least 10 people were arrested. Cops got very aggressive — something the department is notorious for — and, at one point, a Muslim woman’s hijab was ripped off while she was being arrested.
