“The responses to Mr. Mamdani’s electoral triumph were the latest examples of how far-right Republicans in Congress have become overt in their use of racist language and tropes, in both casual comments and official statements,” writes @anniekarni.

I took this job because I fervently believe that we as journalists need to take new approaches to how we cover race and racism. @the_emancipator is moving to Howard without its staff, so I wanted to be sure to make this point now. Please read and share.

Racism is an emergency. Why don’t enough journalists and media outlets treat it as such? For my final article as @the_emancipator’s Editor-in-chief, I addressed the need for our industry to do better, and quickly.

With this beard, a polling location was the only place someone asked me to show ID. Glad I didn’t have to do that. Glad I didn’t have to guess the number of jellybeans in a jar, either. Vote today, and then keep working. We must eliminate all barriers to the ballot. #ElectionDay

Elections don’t end or stop racism by themselves. They certainly can make racism even worse. A joint letter from myself and @the_emancipator publisher @amberwaves about why #ElectionDay is a beginning, not an end. Read, share, and be sure to vote today.
