Trying to remember where it was that MLK famously told white moderates not to support the movement because they hadn’t experienced the worst aspects of Jim Crow themselves.

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This is OBSCENE. Just despicable, the lowest and most vile lie.

Abusing the assassination of our Speaker Emerita, her husband and her dog. Utterly beneath contempt.

I go often. I was feeling quite stressed recently and went for a semi-regular treat of extended lunch break movie by myself. I realized that day, how soothing and peaceful and contemplative that space is for me. It’s my church.

I *really* want more reporting on this because the book was pretty heavily vetted by lawyers in advance of publication….

This is so damn scary. The book claimed that Jeffrey Epstein was the one who introduced Donald and Melania. Now the CEO of Harper UK is out.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

I have a full day today, but I woke up early to put this edition of my newsletter together because I need you all to have this rundown of what we've been up against this week in Chicago as the federal assault on our city continues. To ignore these developments would be a damning mistake for us all.
