In this clip of a 1987 interview, James Baldwin talks about racism, prejudice, hate, and division. It sounds like he's describing the US today. It's worth a listen.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kolo...

We have a lot of work to do. We can’t afford despair. Take care of yourselves. Goodnight 💚

Mavis Nicholson: Are you still in despair about the world?

James Baldwin: I never have been in despair about the world. I’m enraged by it. I don’t think I’m in despair. I can’t afford despair. I can’t tell my nephew, my niece—you can’t tell the children there’s no hope.

James Baldwin interview with Mavis Nicholson, aired Feb. 12, 1987

Watching the democrats abandon their Black female colleague in this moment is a reflection of what it is to be a Black woman working in liberal spaces.

-𝚖𝚘𝚡 ❆ ☃︎︎ ❆ @moxiest.art · Aug 19

the TX Dems leaving Collier out to dry is a level of surrender we simply did not believe possible.

it's one thing to surrender, the shame of which should haunt you the rest of your life, but to then abandon one of your own to the cops is something we are legitimately struggling to find words for.

The powerful counted on Virginia Giuffre’s silence.
She refused. Now it’s our turn.
On what should be her 42nd birthday — flood every timeline with her truth.

And FYI: Ghislaine Maxwell should rot in prison for the rest of her life.

America has a horrific history in its treatment of Black Americans and other minorities.

This is one more vile act in a long list of reprehensible deeds. It’s sickening.
