A friend sent me a signed copy of this book. It was hard. Yep; complex sentence structure, vocabulary I had to look up….so I paused. I kept going back because it’s brilliance was obvious. I can only wish I had grasped more of it. #sonofbaldwin #theprophet

A huge thank you to every public librarian out there putting up a pride display today, putting up posters and rainbows and tons of beautiful books by queer authors front and center face out. In this climate of hatred and persecution, you're doing a hard thing. And the right one.

Happy Pride, friends.

🧵Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law today to defund DEI programs at Florida public colleges and to limit how race can be discussed in many courses. This is an example of what my father, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., described as the “white backlash.” #WhiteBacklash #MLK

Winslow loves school. It’s so moving to see how he affects kids, some of whom rarely interact with others but shower him with affection.

Another US election, another "Land doesn't vote, people do" style map showing the election results.

🚨Today in #Brackeen a Native student was told she’d GO TO JAIL for wearing her regalia to the Supreme Court b/c it’s a political statement. 🤯🤬 Dress White. Assimilate. Or face consequences. In 2022! Our survival is still in defiance of policies meant to erase us. #ICWA #SCOTUS
