So, lemme get this straight. An uber qualified Black man, who was most recently the Deputy State Supt of North Carolina and a Mississippi native, is unanimously chosen by the State Bd of Ed as the new State Supt but is NOT confirmed based on what?

I'm thinking I'll RT this every few hours since @WNYC execs are bullying us with language about "rules violations" and "union activism" on social media. #WeMakeNYPR @sagaftra #UnionStrong Feel free to RT and join in a little #GoodTrouble making cc: @agolis @LaFontaine_O

Yeah we feel exactly the same way. We're going to try to keep making radio worth listening to here on @TheTakeaway right up until the end on June 2.

The leaders of BJC HealthCare and Washington University rejected calls for a moratorium on transgender care, saying they wouldn’t deny critical care to patients. The two said they would establish additional oversight.

This is so vile. This racist white woman weaponizes her white womanhood through the age old American practice of lying about Black male violence. The only more disgusting is her confidence that her tactics will work.

Watching WOMEN TALKING, the film allegory of the feminist movement, I was struck at how in the film, as in real life, no women of color were included. The film stated it was a true story in “the female imagination”. Even in the feminist utopia, women of color aren’t considered.

If you actually think we need a white history month, not only should you not be making school policy. You should have to return your 8th grade diploma… ‘Ignorant’ and ‘racist’: School board president confronted over ‘White History Month’ post

YES YES YES YES! She is Free. #BrittneyGriner

BREAKING: The Senate has voted to pass the Respect for Marriage Act, legislation to codify federal protection for marriages of same-sex and interracial couples, 61 to 36.

In 1959, police were called to a segregated library when a Black 9-year-old boy trying to check out books refused to leave, after being told the library was not for Black people. The boy, Ronald McNair, went on to became an astronaut. The library is also now named after him.

This gas lighting of @TiffanyDCross is nonsense. I was characterized as “difficult & unpredictable” Hell I am. Tiffany might be. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Neither of us are accused of harming, raping, abusing colleagues or lying on air about verifiable facts. Those who did are/were treated better.

1/ I don’t know why anyone would be shocked at right-wingers laughing off the attack on Paul Pelosi and attempted attack on the Speaker. Reactionaries have a long history of cheering violence against their enemies. It’s kinda their brand actually. A brief thread…

The difference is clear. This race really is between interest in people and business interests. If you care more about improving the lives of EVERYONE in St. Louis, more than helping rich people get richer, Megan Green is the clear choice for the next President of the Board.

I know you’ll all be shocked, but we have uncovered another racist police officer. All these unicorns! Chicago police supervisor resigns while being investigated for racist Facebook posts

Obama: I’m getting old and gray. Black lady: You fine than a mfer. https://t.co/8ilpc5GsKM

Over the last month folks have been asking me if there are grief support groups for Black men who have lost their wives during childbirth. 😞 I haven’t found any, and our team is at capacity, but I hope someone applies to our most recent grants to do this. We need it badly.

Woah!
