The Education Department has warned U.S. schools that they risked losing federal funding if they continued to take race into account when making scholarship or hiring decisions — or so much as nodded to race in “all other aspects of student, academic and campus life.”
Education Dept. Gives Schools Two Weeks to Eliminate Race-Based Programs

Yesterday, I co-facilitated a racial healing circle for Black women educators from across the state of IL. We grounded in our bodies and in the land, we opened our hearts, cultivated community, and engaged the concepts of spirit murder and spirit protectors and spirit restorers. It was medicine. 🌱🖤

Thoughts on this take? So much here to process and so many real harms occurring and scary unknowns, but what does resonate is to hold the line. Do not obey in advance. Do not comply with the violence and foolery. Refuse. Resist.

This happened earlier today near my hometown in Cincinnati. Folks from Lincoln Heights, a historically all Black neighborhood, a home place of Nikki Giovanni and others, showed up and said not today! ✊🏾
Police tried to protect a small group of armed neo-Nazis from angry community members today on a freeway overpass in #Ohio, people managed to push through police as the Nazis escaped in a box truck.
Young people then set fire to a stolen Nazi flag.

'Existence is resistance': Palestinians tell Trump they won't leave Gaza

February 12th will be the 125th anniversary of the first public performance of “Lift Every Voice and Sing” also known as the Black National Anthem. We are facing much of what we faced in 1900. The song speaks volumes about endurance and organizing. Curious about it? bookshop.org/p/books/may-...
