Q9: What resources can help elevate the political dreams and aspirations of BIPOC educators? #EduColor

“Unity is great, but freedom is better. There’s a part of this population that has sacrificed their freedom time and time again for unity, and they’re tired of it...so if you’re asking us to come together, and that means my world doesn’t change…I don’t want that kind of unity.”

I want to speak directly to the Black women in our country. Thank you. You are too often overlooked, and yet are asked time and again to step up and be the backbone of our democracy. We could not have done this without you.

Can we please get people stimulus checks and mortgage relief and rent forgiveness and small business support and free testing and hazard pay and healthcare for the uninsured (& underinsured) in the middle of a pandemic or is that too socialist too?

Imagine if #BlackLivesMatter were the ones who were storming the Capitol building. Thousands of black people laying siege to the seat of government — in the middle of a joint session of Congress? Just imagine the reaction.

White privilege is on display like never before in the U.S. Capitol. If these people were Black. . .well, we all know what would be happening right now to them.

The greatest domestic terrorist threat of our time are White male supremacists who adore Donald J. Trump. But Americans are too blinded by their own racist ideas to see these terrorists for who and what they are. Will today be the day the denial finally ends?

Tell me again why we can’t defund the police & military when they’ve shown us today that they don’t intend to use any of their expensive gear to protect the Capitol from a domestic invasion?

THIS is what it looks like when you don't have a peaceful transfer of power. This is treason. This is insurrection. This is rebellion. This is lawlessness. This is unacceptable. PERIOD.

Donald J. Trump should immediately be impeached by the House of Representatives & removed from office by the United States Senate as soon as Congress reconvenes. This is dangerous & unacceptable.

My new book HOW THE WORD IS PASSED is out today. It explores how different places across the country reckon with, or fail to reckon with, their relationship to the history of slavery. I gave this book everything I have. Here are the places I visited 🧵: littlebrown.com/titles/clint-s…

This is the Dr. King you don’t often hear about. The anti-war, anti-poverty socialist radical who was denounced by newspapers, pundits, & politicians of all stripes. It was only after he was gone, when they could sanitize his message, that the powerful began to invoke his name.
