I talked with Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson about how our communities can defend the voting process this November. Some folks reached out and asked me if I could make an episode about this subject because they were tired of simply being told to vote harder and wanted to know what more we could do. ❤️

Can we be honest that so called 'wokeness' meant Black people demanding full social personhood and refusing to be silent about getting murdered/harmed by the state? So yes, that is more threatening to many in this country than is fascism. I think that's been clear.

If you only read the opinion journalism in elite media over the last decade, you would have been convinced that wokeness, not fascism, was the greatest threats to American society. Now some of those authors are retconning by trying to relabel fascism as "the woke right." bsky.app/profile/donm...

David Walker published An Appeal to the Colored Citizens of the World in pamphlet form in 1829. It's one of the most important and influential abolitionist texts in U.S. history. Yet, very few people have actually read it and many people don't know who Walker was especially among young people.

"Evidently, Trump himself has repeatedly asked former Nixon aides why he resigned instead of staying in office ... Meanwhile, the Trump administration has undermined protections put in after Watergate in order to allow an even wider breadth of corrupt activity, with less oversight[.]"

Truthout@truthout.org

Trump’s Justice Department has entertained the idea of reframing former President Richard Nixon as a victim of “deep state” persecution in the Watergate scandal, with allies likening Nixon to Trump as an unfairly maligned figure.

We absolutely should be horrified by reports of planned public executions and see them as an overt re-embrace of spectacle lynchings--while also understanding that the story of the "modern" death penalty in this country is inextricable from that history, rooted in racial violence & white supremacy.

I've been thinking and talking and writing about the death penalty for my whole adult life and the past week+ has been truly surreal and exhausting, not only because of the onslaught of horrors but because there seems to be so little historical memory of what this system is and always has been.

Had to trek out into the burbs this morning because that’s where I could get the earliest appointment for a suspicious mammogram follow-up. I’m presently in Lisle. Where does one stop for coffee out here?
