Text: “I did not want to weep for Martin, tears seemed futile.” His death was too terrible, the void too deep. “I may also have been afraid, and I could not have been the only one, that if I began to weep I would not be able to stop.” When James Baldwin emerged in the sunlight, he noticed the enormity of the spectacle, which he had failed to appreciate on his way in. He saw that masses of people not only lined both sides of the road, but that they occupied every imaginable space. They stood on every rooftop, baking in the Georgia heat. “Every inch of ground, as far as the eye could see, was black with people, and they stood in silence.” They offered a mute testament to King. “It was the silence that undid me,” Baldwin explained. “I started to cry, and I stumbled.” Sammy Davis Jr. grabbed his arm and steadied him for the march ahead.

Fascism is here & picking up speed at a breakneck pace.

‘This Is Our Time’: Acclaimed Poet to Honor Mamdani With Inaugural Poem

New York, city of invention,
Roiling town, refresher
And re-newer,

New York, city of the real,
Where the canyons
Whisper in a hundred
Tongues,

New York,
Where your lucky self
Waits for your
Arrival,

Where there is always soil
For your root.

This is our time.

A USPS mailbox in New York City

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later

Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

The rule wasnt going to ban asbestos. It wasnt going to overhaul the cosmetics industry. It wasnt even going to cost corporations much money. It simply would have forced them to test their products & tell us if they contained a carcinogen. And somehow even that—even transparency—was too much to ask.

A woman recently went viral for holding up a window sign during a traffic stop, part of a growing trend of drivers using cards to assert their rights instead of speaking to police.

‘I didn’t even know this type of attack existed’: more than 200 women allege drugging by senior French civil servant In a case echoing the Pelicot trial, dozens of women allege they were given hot drinks mixed with a diuretic to make them urinate. Three of them speak out here

The pure evil of this level of misogyny. And no justice. He's free.

Dozens of women were slipped a powerful & illegal diuretic while interviewing for a job. Many recall struggling w the need to go to the toilet & feeling increasingly ill. Some didn’t reach a bathroom in time.
