A hand holding a copy of the book "Black Elegies: Meditations on the Art of Mourning" by Kimberly Juanita Brown.

The second title in a new publication series devoted to visual literacy, "Black Elegies" is an unflinching study of black grief as a form of elegy found in visual art, music, literature β€” everywhere, if you know how to see it: mitpress.mit.edu/978026255172... @kjuanitabrown.bsky.social

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.

But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.

See you soon, NYC.

"We were kidnapped" On Friday, more than 200 Venezuelans disappeared to a megaprison in El Salvador returned home. The horror stories are already emerging.

At El Salvador’s CECOT prison, detainees are being torturedβ€”beaten, electrocuted, and sleep deprived.

This is cruel and unusual punishment.

Nobody is reining in this illegal activity, so what’s stopping Trump from doing this to U.S. citizens?
