My IRL friend's dad, a Laotian refugee, was seized by ICE and sent to a concentration camp in El Paso. His family is fundraising to afford legal fees. I'd really appreciate it if you could help. gofund.me/383933317

🧵 If you care about our Haitian neighbors in Ohio, please debunk & “call in” folks with large platforms claiming the churches are trafficking children.

The community is bracing for what could possibly be the largest family separation operation in US history.

Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man touches on some of this and digs deeper into self determination and freedom from class / economic struggle (esp within Black American academia/estab..) and the fallacy of "the white liberal North"...

Outside of Passing, Nella Larsen's Quicksand also draws more personally from her own biracial experience visiting her mum's family in Denmark, the disconnect from cliquishness/nepotism within Black American estab' - academia, and oc existing under the ever present Jim Crow/segregation.

Looking for the Restless Soul of Nella Larsen in Copenhagen The celebrated Harlem Renaissance author was inspired by her experiences as a mixed-race teenager and young adult in the Danish capital, a time that informed her 1928 novel, “Quicksand.”

I wish I could visit. Relatedly, I just this morning read this piece on searching for Nella Larsen in Copenhagen. Author Ethelene Whitmire is working a on book project entitled "Searching for Utopia: African Americans in 20th Century Denmark."

Nordic Utopia examines how Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden became both draws, and homes, for artists and musicians like Ronald Burns, Doug Crutchfield, Herb Gentry, Dexter Gordon, William Henry Johnson, Howard Smith and Walter Williams. It’s on into March. #blackart #painting #jazz #Copenhagen

The compact exhibition “Nordic Utopia? African Americans in the 20th Century” at the Scandinavian American Foundation on Park Avenue South (between 37th and 28th) is kind of a sleeper. It shouldn’t be.

Nice deep dive into the Rhinelander v. Rhinelander case in the Times by Laura Wexler. I was surprised the author didn't mention Nella Larsen's "Passing" in connection with the case; some scholars have suggested Larsen was inspired by it in her novel. #race #passing

‘We stole the Super Bowl audience’: how In Living Color pulled off the greatest heist in US TV history Turning Point USA is plotting its own half-time broadcast in defiance of Bad Bunny – but one of TV’s Blackest shows already perfected the alt-cast in 1992

time to remind everybody that the Super Bowl halftime show only exists in this grandiose fashion because a tv show called "In Living Color" stole the ratings from the NFL; the execs notoriously said, "get me Michael Jackson's agent" and thus began all the pomp

My favorite Super Bowl memory is still when Elon Musk was at the 2023 game in Arizona and panicked about his Eagles tweet getting less engagement than Joe Biden's. He then flew immediately to Twitter's San Francisco office to start emergency meetings to fix the site's algorithm.

Fortunately, we have great local journalists in town that will continue to cover this every single day and as it happens, just like they did before anyone showed up.

While ICE drives around north trolling a caravan of press vehicles following them all week, ICE is going wild in South…

I have appreciated Amanda’s efforts here so I’m disappointed she’s wrapping things up by spreading misinformation. I can assure you as someone whose neighborhood has been crawling with ICE in recent days that we are not in the “aftermath” of anything.

It’s been another very active day today in Northeast with someone being abducted on St Anthony Parkway & Central.

Regardless of what the federal government says, it’s still very active with the same illegal tactics being used by ICE. We still need everyone out protecting our neighbors.
