@electrickbob @LeftOfBlack @marthasjones_ @BasicBooks Like, literally do a google search—she’s mixed. Her mother from German immigrants and her father was a Black man

@LeftOfBlack @marthasjones_ @BasicBooks What kind of horse shit is this? That lady white!

NEW EPISODE: duke.is/r/7rfn Is Blackness still questioned in biracial people and families? In "The Trouble of Color: An American Family Memoir," Dr. @marthasjones_ looks into her family's history from her great-great-great-grandmother's survival of slavery. @BasicBooks

@Variety But shouldn’t he have a healthy monthly income from residuals? The amount of work he’s done?

Kevin Spacey says he is homeless and "living in hotels and Airbnbs." He's just waiting for Hollywood to welcome him back. “We are in touch with some extremely powerful people who want to put me back to work. And that will happen in its right time. But I will also say what I think the industry seems to be waiting for is to be given permission — by someone who is in some position of enormous respect and authority. So, my feeling is if Martin Scorsese or Quentin Tarantino call [my manager, Evan Lowenstein] tomorrow, it will be over. I will be incredibly honored and delighted when that level of talent picks up the phone,” Spacey told The Telegraph. Read more here: variety.com/2025/film/news…

“The chicken or the egg equivalent for screenwriters (and all storytellers) is what comes first: Plot or character. What should come first is reading Scott Myers’ book." - Keith Giglio, screenwriter, professor, S.I. Newhouse School, Syracuse University bit.ly/44qjPFO

@prageru The interview they chose to feature in this trailer is the preacher saying that the Palestinian flag bears the colors of the Four Horsemen?? 😦 Really exercising that theological doctorate, I see 😣

NOW STREAMING PragerU’s short documentary, THE BOOK OF REVELATION AND THE GREAT REVIVAL Featuring Dinesh D'Souza

Quentin Tarantino: “I don’t know what a writing adjective is. I always use acting adjectives. To me writing’s almost the same thing because you’re acting like a character and that’s what acting is all about, the moment.” #screenwriting

Our show, @LeftOfBlack, won two @tellyawards this past summer—a great way to have started the Fall semester at @DukeU! More to come with Season 16 kicking off in October

Thanks so much @NewBlackMan for this opportunity to help make an incredible series on Black studies scholarship—needed now more than ever ever. And major thanks to the @tellyawards!

NEW EPS: youtu.be/GUvSEX1a_4Y @meredithdclark breaks down the significance of #BlackTwitter in its heyday and where Black journalism is today in this Season 15 finale w/ @NewBlackMan. She wrote "We Tried to Tell Y'All: Black Twitter and the Rise of Digital Counternarratives," publ. by @OxUniPress

@ABC NPR & PBS offer non-ratings driven, non-advertisement driven news, unlike private companies. They provide a service to the public. Just b/c they don’t stroke Trump’s ego like Fox News doesn’t mean they should lose funding

JUST IN: Pres. Donald Trump has signed an executive order instructing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to “cease direct funding to NPR and PBS.” abcnews.link/8MZTOft

@atom_jarvis @ABC Y’know @atom_jarvis if Trump were intent on getting rid of ONLY migrants with a clear criminal background or outstanding warrants, I could see that. But the zeal that they’ve shown to round up anyone, even asylum seekers, and send them out w/o due process suggests something else.

@View_Findr @ABC Eric… these entries were always meant to be temporary. It’s unclear why Joe Biden even okayed them. It’s time for these non citizens to go home now. We can no longer afford to support them

The Trump administration is quietly revoking the temporary legal status of people who entered the country via an online appointment app at U.S. border crossings with Mexico. abcnews.link/KGWCNuv

@ackocher I am not disillusioned. ALL OF THIS is ultimately to make America less brown and more white. Period. That’s why MAGA is so onboard. They would go after legal immigrants if they could, which they will try with revoking the natural born citizenship law.

24 hours from now President Trump is set to unleash a series of aggressive executive orders targeting immigration. Here are seven things he appears set to do (or attempt to do).

Excited to hear from @profcsanders on her book, “A Forgotten Migration,” publ. by @UNC_Press

"Jones often said, as did his Seattle childhood friend Ray Charles, that Seattle’s musical openness allowed him to ignore cultural boundaries, to practice what the music business calls “crossover"." seattletimes.com/entertainment/…

@ProfCeciliaM @UNC_Press @DukeHistoryDept I need to get mine 😭

It is officially the ✨first anniversary✨ of my book #MakingtheLatinoSouth. It has been an unbelievable year getting to share the stories of the Latino South with audiences & readers. Many parts of being an academic are hard but the chance to share this work has been all joy. 🥰
