My book is out TODAY! & so is the latest from @MichelleObama. & what makes me laugh out loud is that my momma believes my book can compete with the former First Lady’s 😂 Look! My mom is my biggest fan. So whatever she believes, goes 🥹❤️

Hey guys calm down. Don’t politicize the death of the guy who routinely politicized every single death.

Charlie Kirk aside, imagine the crowd hyping his pro-gun rhetoric. Then a shot rings out. In that instant of panic when they realize they might die by the very thing they worship, did the irony finally hit them?

“Violence is never the answer.” —a resident of the most violent country on earth.

that horrific footage is the same thing that happens to children at school, btw.

“Fascism, it’s always about using nationalism, and the nation, as a bludgeon to generate support for death policies, on behalf of death governments. For violence and repression and exploitation, internationalism is the antidote, always.” —Robin D. G. Kelley

I don't think it was pain that made him so great, I think painting brought him whatever happiness he had. * RIP David Lynch

My article proves that Legacy Admissions, not Affirmative Action, is the actual racist policy that destroys meritocracy—but since it benefits unqualified white people, it's protected. It's been shared thousands of times—yet not one rebuttal. Wonder why?🤔 qasimrashid.com/p/affirmative-…

So let me get this straight. Elon can hand out million dollar checks to voters who sign his petition, but volunteers can’t hand out water to people waiting in line to vote?

I’m not playing with y’all, GET THIS BOOK. It’s stunning!

Today is PUBLICATION DAY! Ankle-Deep in Pacific Water belongs to the world now. I have carried these poems like unspeakable hymns in my chest for many decades, and today I lay them down. They are yours now.

The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality. - James Baldwin

i have read this exact sentence in about a thousand different articles this year

Are White kids still starting rock bands in their garages??? Because we’re losing these recipes!

"It's extremely important that people like me, and Black folks who are proud of [Harris], and want to support her, understand that she stands on the shoulders of other people, that you cannot have Shirley Chisholm and Fannie Lou Hamer up here, and be exporting 2,000-lb bombs to drop on kids and hospitals and schools." - Ta-Nehisi Coates, to me on 'Mehdi Unfiltered', with a strong message for Kamala Harris on Gaza. Watch the full interview: zeteo.com/p/ta-nehisi-co…

Fannie Lou Hamer was born today. She was fired as a sharecropper for registering Black folks to vote. She started coops and political parties. She had a limp & blood clot behind her eye from being beaten by police in a Mississippi jail. Fannie was a freedom fighter.

The fact that the USA is about to execute an innocent citizen - they know is innocent, the DA now says is innocent, the evidence proves he is innocent, should be enough for everyone to tear the system down. Marcellus Williams could be any of us. Marcellus Williams is all of us.

I'm so glad to have a break from my day job to focus on this super secret draft I've been sleeping on. I've been accepted into @Tin_House Autumn Workshop! & I'm so excited to work with them & @AthenaDDixon 😆
