Calling for empathy is not neutral or apolitical when only one group of people have been socialized and brutalized into having empathy.

Few people have embodied the best of journalism—its ability to cut through BS, its capacity to uplift those who’ve been wronged, its burning appetite to tell the stories people need to know—like Bill Moyers.

The Bill Moyers that obituaries missed
The “secular preacher” of TV journalism was also a ferocious critic of corrupt politicians and corporate titans—and the spineless media that enable them.

And lastly, to put a point on this, it does not flatter Black ppl to tell us how strong we are and how much you love us and our spirit and proclaim your current fave should lead the party when, again, we ain't but 6 months out from y'all *showing us* that you don't actually mean that.
And it is SUPER egregious to put Black electeds first in your fantasy draft line up after Y'ALL AIN'T VOTE FOR THE BLACK WOMAN.
A little self-awareness, please.

Yesterday, the Supreme Court ordered Trump to resume USAID payments. Spoiler: He won't. Roberts gave him additional opportunities to delay, while Alito wrote a completely bonkers dissent sure to embolden Trump further.

The Supreme Court Just Ruled Against Trump—but Don’t Get Too Excited
Even as the court rejected Trump’s freeze on USAID, it effectively gave him another chance to delay sending life-saving money abroad.
