As people prepare for the oncoming storm (weather), I think about what would happen if all of those people sent to invade our cities had a mandate to clear streets and distribute meals to the frail, poor and disabled instead.

And Kyle Abraham.
I saw Kyle Abraham's A.I.M. and the show had a live three-piece jazz ensemble on stage and two PHENOMENAL singers were featured. The first chanteuse sounded like Abby Lincoln and the other Billie Holliday-esque.

Kyle himself performed his dance choreographed to Nina Simone's "Ne Me Quitte Pas".

That’s the thing that we always hear about but a good number of them were big fans of the kinds of foreign policy that the antagonists supported.
I remember the main thing that Republicans liked about 24 was the torture depicted

My org works with both LGBTQ+ communities and immigrant communities, and I think orgs like ours that are inherently intersectional—and don’t fall neatly into grant categories—deserve more support.

"Black dance doesn't ask for permission. It's never needed an institution to validate its worth… It lives in the cyphers of street dancers, in the footwork of a marching band, in the body rolls of a church congregation.…

[It] preserves the past and shapes the narrative of what is possible." 10/10
Op-Ed: Black Dance as Activism, Resistance, and Healing
Black dance has always been more than movement—it is survival, resistance, and healing in motion. It is a defiant act of existence in a world that continually seeks to silence Black voices, erase Blac...

"Books feed and cure and
chortle and collide

In all this willful world
of thud and thump and thunder
man’s relevance to books
continues to declare

Books are meat and medicine
and flame and flight and flower,
steel, stitch, and cloud and clout,
and drumbeats in the air."

Period.
“This is un-American“ is anti-Indigenous, anti-Black gaslighting and if you find that inconvenient imagine how our colonized and enslaved ancestors felt and grow the fuck up

Like first of all, why are you taking it personally? Were you an enslaver? Did you support turning fire hoses on civil rights organizers? Do you think Indigenous people should be dispossessed of their ancestral relationship to the land?

No? Then stop acting like a hit dog

This is a super interesting (& long) piece. It’s not mostly about parenting attitudes it’s about how parenting attitudes are a reliable predictor of political attitudes (esp. white Americans) and shows the underlying structure of worldview in a way that’s not confounded by known partisan scripts.

I’ve talked to a number of LGBTQ people this week in Greece, South Africa and Uganda who watch US news pretty closely, and all knew who Renée Good was by name, but none were aware she was had a wife. Her connection to the LGBTQ community does not seem to be breaking into international news.
