In this very long piece, it’s not actually clear what Harvard is paying half a billion dollars for. What did they do wrong? Where’s the evidence? To justify half a billion dollars? It’s a shakedown. We all know it, and journalists should say so.

There’s a wonderful documentary on PBS about this… And she basically shows that news coverage becomes more focused on crime, violence, and racial stereotypes over 35 years I think we should do that for every social media platform + the news now & it should be held in archive

She walked out of her immigration hearing smiling — papers in hand, standing tall. She had no idea the man waiting in the hallway was ICE. No idea she was about to be detained. This is happening inside NYC’s immigration courts. Every day. #ICE

Just a heads up that in addition to fake accounts popping up across social media, someone is now using a fake email (alyssacole717@gmail.com) to mass email other writers with the intent to scam them. Please be aware that THIS IS NOT ME!! 😩

I just love this idea that wanting affordable cities makes you an insufferable yuppie but wanting billionaires and landlords to extract more money from everyone is the true expression of working class solidarity

the first Cop City RICO trial starts today, two years after the indictment (a nonsensical document that sought to criminalize basic acts of mutual aid, among other things) came down. what happens to Ayla King, first of the 61 people to be tried, will impact protest everywhere.

Baltimore's progressive mayor Brandon Scott took a public health approach to violence prevention, and the city is on track to have its smallest number of murders and shootings in 60 years. This is huge for Baltimore.

So @kellyekell just sent me a link to an account that's impersonating me on here. I was gonna report them, but I scrolled their posts and they're doing a way better job of promoting my books than I am, so maybe I'll let them cook. 😂

Now would be a really good time to learn more about the history of the Robber Barons if you're not familiar.

Covid was the biggest transfer of power from bosses to workers in 75 years and billionaires were so angry at this they demanded governments inflict 'pain' on the economy to punish 'arrogant' workers and it's amazing how so little analysis of the last 5 years includes this

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

For @lithub, I wrote the essay I’ve been carrying around for years. It’s about romance novels, which have always been ambitious and resonant and fun—whether or not critics were paying attention.

My gothic thriller won an NAACP Image Award! 🥰 I'm shocked, honored, and thrilled to have been nominated alongside authors I truly admire: @Tia_W_Writes, Wanda M. Morris, Sarai Johnson, and Diane Oliver/@tayari!

Really, really bizarre. Never seen this before. Twitter un-followed Younis from my account, then I just re-followed him, and then my account un-followed him on its own after 30sec. I remember seeing how Younis had well over 100k followers just a month or so ago. Now under 10k.

I can not stress how vital this kitchen is for saving lives. A large part of the RSF’s brutal siege of El Fasher is aimed at starving out civilians, but the KAK volunteers are working hard to keep people fed despite constant attacks. Please share/donate! https://t.co/K27ghBRuNF

No this actually happened. Even years AFTER World War II ended, the US government punished people who had expressed “premature anti-Nazi sympathies.” Meaning they punished people for having correctly opposed the Nazis before the US had officially joined the war against the Nazis.
