TBS having Bruce Pearl do pre-game commentary about Illinois while comparing this year’s team to the ‘89 Flyin Illini is...certainly a choice...

listening to BrandiCD wrote BLACK SKINHEAD (on sale now) right now makes me remember the worries I had in the early 2000s about increasing media consolidation - which have largely come true, but no one talks about anymore bc they are taken as a given

Peggy Moore & Hope Wood were remarkable women who dedicated their lives to equality & justice. Their values brought them together & are the legacy they leave behind. Their family & friends are hurting, but we must remember we are all connected through the work they did every day.

I had little to gain going on record. I don’t care to cape for Harvard or Meta. I’ll probably lose future funding. I don’t have Whistleblower Aid or a PR firm to defend me. Or a roster of journalist friends. I spoke up for those who can’t or won’t. & those who’ve been ignored. Onward.

It's also awesome that in leaving out my story and Fiqah is @sassycrass.bsky.social and Ra'il IK and Shireen, Harlem's Shuri, In Political Mecca! it doesn't link how this terrible behavior was entirely focused on using Black women as pawns as she secured millions in funding but hey Listen to Black women

Black women have sounded the alarm about the way Joan Donovan has sometimes bullied and at other times rendered their work invisible for years. Although this investigation doesn't focus on that, you can see it... especially in the penultimate vignette. chronicle.com/article/the-di…

Yankees are like the Drake of baseball…overrated, overpaid whiny bitches in love with themselves…

I wrote a book about why Black voters are disillusioned w/ Dems, I’m happy to see them 👂 to research & data. Also: a) Black men are still the largest male voting bloc (%) for the dems, slow down the preemptive dragging b) Building on Biden’s economic populist agenda matters

Many newsrooms slashing positions like these. Investment in diverse owned media has slowed down (& was already low). This is bad already, but the implications for this during a disinfo rich election where both sides are attempting to court voters of color are downright chilling.

At MediaJustice, we’re proud to announce our new organizational strategy, #ShiftingTerrain, a fundamental reimagining of how we reclaim our digital future from the collusion between Big Tech & Media and governments and the unequal terrain they’ve created.

“Is she electable though?” It’s the media's go-to question when women (& particularly women of color) run for political office.
