Submitted a draft of the final book chapter today! 🎉🎉🎉

I have a summer of revision ahead of me and a great team alongside me.

Right on time.

Remember defund? This administration is showing that defunding is 100% possible - healthcare, education, safety net — and they are doing it in the most brutal way possible.

And why did people want to dismantle ICE? To prevent exactly what we are seeing today.

It’s all connected, always.

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Brandon Bradford (@BrandonLBradfor ). The tweet reads: "Deporting Americans without due process then saying they no longer get due process because they aren’t in America means no one has rights, FYI. Nightmare scenario."

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

Good morning.
Listen, you have to just decide.

They are not taking the Black Smithsonian.

Resolve it in your spirit.

Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

If you are a Northern California person upset about Chuck Schumer’s @schumer.senate.gov ‘s craven betrayal of our country, his book tour will be in Corte Madera at The Book Passage on 3/22

Do people get that nobody even uses the term “woke” anymore? That if you are using it then you are doing exactly the kind of work the far-right architect of the “anti-woke” campaign wants you to do? “Wokeness” is a distraction. Racism is, in fact, bad. It’s okay to say so.

People get that, right?

Tomorrow’s lecture: “Confronting the Violence of White Supremacy.”

Readings by Ida B. Wells, Oliver Cromwell Cox and The California Reparations Report.

This should be fine, right?

1290. Progress.

Thank you for this! I’m working on my third book and would love to be added to the list. 🙏🏽
