Dolly Parton called a press conference to clarify formally that no weapon formed against her will prosper

Forgive me for being furious whenever my white colleagues seem to be able to commit all manner of journalistic wrongs and be rewarded with multiple income streams while I am left to wonder how the hell I'm going to pay my already exorbitant ACA premiums as I float my living expenses from my 401K

Washington's #WIC program is still operating.
Please continue to:

If you come for my people, you come through me.

This genuinely makes me so happy. Also, I'm glad that a person as famous as Dolly is willing to be honest about grief. Because you definitely do let things go and stop caring for yourself while in the midst of it. I'm thrilled she's going to be okay.

Similarly, if a neurotypical person recognizes a characteristic of themselves in a neurodivergent person doesn't mean that they are neurodivergent!

People contain multitudes and that's ok! we don't need to internet diagnose each other!

same. that’s how I read “one form or the other”

Fortunately in the future of this city people are kind, loving, welcoming and able to eat good food and enjoy good music and excellent company and live together in relative peace and these people go home and heal the hate in their hearts and minds

Literally they've shot two people in Chicago alone, we're all unbelievably fortunate the woman they shot last fucking weekend survived

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I am once again asking why these data centers are all fucking SECRETS

"A controversial plan to build a 2.2-million-square-foot data center on farmland may still happen. A rural community... is looking to settle a lawsuit recently filed by a development firm working for an unidentified tech giant."

He was always going to do this. Chicagoans have not rioted, so the administration just lied and said we have. We have not attacked ICE agents, so they just lied and said we did. There was no chaos here, so they created chaotic scenes by attacking people and filmed that shit.

You could just talk about Jim Crow. I promise you, there's no need to leave America's shores to talk about life in a fascist state

Stupid and evil go hand in hand smh

Last year we gathered in Pittsburgh to announce a truly historic investment of $600M in downtown to make it cleaner and safer for those who live, work, and visit here. I'm proud to see all of the progress we're making in the place I call home.

I wish people would understand that immigrant workers are also immigrant customers and that in a 70% consumer based economy, kicking a bunch of customers out of the country is bad for the economy.

Not only should we stop kicking customers out, we should do universal basic income to make more.

Time for my annual Covid/flu Vaccine PSA for Toronto folks:

If you have mobility issues and need a vaccine at home, Toronto Paramedic Services will come to you! You don’t have to be a senior to qualify. (I was referred by a TPH nurse but self-referral is fine)

Spread the word!

After Columbia canceled my course on race and media, and Washington Poat fired me for speaking about race and violence,

I’m teaching about race and media anyway!

Not exactly unheard of food stamps for example have a 76% return frac.org/programs/sup...

It's almost as if giving people money to spend on goods rather than tax cuts for billionaires is very good for the economy

grudgingly forced to hand it to the PPD, what have we come to

A photo of Raphael Saadiq on July 24, 2018 at Union Transfer in Philadelphia. He has a blue aura surrounding him as he pauses between songs.

This is my second favorite photo of them (first fave is the pic I took with them at tiny desk). It’s also my second fave concert photo. My all time favorite? Raphael Saadiq at Union Transfer in July 2018. I didn’t know I’d gotten this shot until the next day.

Everett, Seattle, Tacoma, et al. folks – looking for a foster family for a dog and two cats until they’re owner can find housing again. Know of anyone?

There so many cameras all I could see at the start of the standoff before police showed up to hold a line was someone in a blowup unicorn costume holding ground face to face with the pro Gestapo fascists

While also ignoring how the abuse Black people for the same thing

Former Scripps Research assistant professor awarded 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine

What’s behind rising unemployment for Black workers? For the last five years, I’ve given the same answer in response to questions about any one-month increase in the Black unemployment rate. Given the relatively small sample size used to calculate the n...

A must read for ANYONE who wants to understand why Black women are experiencing a uniquely bad labor market and why the 300,000 number isn't telling the full story.

Dr. Valerie Wilson gets deep into the data around job losses and why paying attention to Black women matters. #blacksky

I hard co-sign this one.

Reminiscent of trump stating how many followers he had on social media in the blurb for the 2016 voters’ pamphlet

From Lagos to the Grammys, Nigerian singer-songwriter Tems has conquered the global stage without compromising who she is. “Authenticity is everything to me,” she says. “That’s the one thing I cannot compromise on because that’s all I have — who I really am.” https://cnn.it/4mTNyzs
