My latest piece in @voxdotcom explores how America’s racial hierarchy stratifies such that black lives regularly rank below the value of their white counterparts, under that of private property and, as witnessed in the mad dash to reopen stores, beneath that of corporate profits.

@danpjsheehan @IolaElla I hate how they do Ta-Nehisi after everything he did for that publication.

I get why The Atlantic is an enticing life raft for former WP journalists, but this magazine has spent 2+ years downplaying Israeli war crimes & demonizing the campus protest movement. It operates as Jeffrey Goldberg’s fiefdom and Zionism is a core part of his editorial mandate.

First piece published online in a few years, give it a read plz :) theintercept.com/2026/02/13/sup…

I wrote a piece for @theintercept about how capitalism is now so contemptible that even "The Man" is sticking it to himself.

Just because @DrIbram wrote HOW TO BE AN ANTIRACIST, doesn’t mean he's done learning or teaching. In fact, he’s only just getting started. Learn more about Dr. Kendi's antiracist journey in @WSJ. wsj.com/articles/being…

For generations, black owned bookstores have functioned as bastions of racial consciousness and activism. In this moment of reckoning, proprietors like @blkkatie, amid spiking demand, remain focused on radicalism and liberation. "I'd much rather George Floyd be alive" says Katie.

“Mr. Lopez is seen handcuffed while pleading repeatedly in English and Spanish for water and for his nana, or grandmother....Mr. Lopez, who was unclothed and seemed to be acting erratically when the officers arrived at the scene.” nytimes.com/2020/06/24/us/…

@donovanxramsey Never agree to overlapping deadlines!

@alissafig Thanks Alissa! We have a great story coming up!! I need to do a separate thread or video or something testifying to how crucial the Ida B. Wells fellowship is!

So I recently started a new job as a politics reporter at Vox! (peep my recent clips!) Very excited about it, and I reckoned this is an opportune time to talk about the hurdles I faced getting here, and how racism stops so many super talented writers from getting jobs like mine!

For now, newsrooms are reckoning with how racism impacts the country, but they also must wrestle with how racism impacts themselves. It's time they see black writers as essential, and black people as newsworthy. FIN

Much of my own experience reflects this. I've heard journalism isn't for me, I should go work at a nonprofit, I don't have the talent, and so many other rebukes more times than I care to count. It's a full story for another day.
