VIDEO: Gerrymandering: Duke vs. UNC Several voting rights groups and voters of color have sued North Carolina Republicans over their new election maps, which all but ensure Republicans stay in

I discovered this video explaining gerrymandering using UNC v Duke and I’m thinking about making it my email sig.

Hi, Grace from β€œSinners” is not an embodiment of East Asian anti-Blackness, her character is not a symbol, this movie is allegorical but it is not an allegory.

As I said before that is a really boring and reductive way to read a really richly told story.

Comment from Polygon article: I'd also issue a trigger warning that the novel is PACKED, literally packed, with the n-word. And sometimes its quite gratuitous, sometimes a sign of the times.  I don't think George is a racist, but the language is problematic in the novel so just know that going in.

This comment on the article tells me everything I need to know. Nasty work recommending this off the back of Black art.

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

It’s a miracle any non-white, non straight, non-citizen person in America is getting any work done right nowβ€”

I really love these Harlem Candle journals. They're gorgeous. I have to force myself to write in them.

ALL of the Democratic censure votes for Rep. Green came from outside the traditional South.
