Currently reading, learning, and thinking about:
The Source of Self-Regard by Toni Morrison. The essay about fascism seems to be right on time among others. #blacksky

Anyone telling you NOT to call your member of congress today is an op or under the influence of an op
There is literally no reason not to
Telling people not to call is not a radical position

Um... so today I was on @cbsmornings.bsky.social. 🤯
I talked to Jericka Duncan about why Black women matter to our economy. CBS called me a "Harvard Economist" (bruh). And Gayle King read my book, #TheDoubleTax. I'm in disbelief.

If you live in Hakeem Jeffries district can you please call him and ask how many more Minnesotans need to die before he takes meaningful action to abolish ICE?
NEWS: While Hakeem Jeffries has announced he's opposing the DHS/ICE funding bill tomorrow, his team is not whipping the vote. Several frontliners are expected to vote yes. There's a difference in leadership between personal vote decisions & unifying the caucus.

"Now isn't the time to bring up history." Really, because the people you claim to oppose are definitely making time to erase it.
"Slavery was real"

The funniest thing about today is the number of urban planning guys insisting history doesn't matter. Why are so few places genuinely walkable & what does that have to do with race riots and red lining?
