Half of all book bans last year happened in Florida

In this time, it is most critical that journalists uphold our charge to reflect truth and not just power.

Fani Willis right now …..

People came from all over US for massive rally yesterday at White House to demand a ceasefire. The Washington Post relegated this NATIONAL news to the Metro (LOCAL news) section, below the fold. US tax $ fund the war. WashPost should cover it as national news when people say NO!

"Most of our bosses on Capitol Hill are not listening to the people they represent."

🧵 As you honor my father today, I earnestly hope that you also remember and honor my mother. #CorettaScottKing #MLKDay #MLK95 #MLK

I just need to say this because it doesn’t seem like we’re getting it: There’s something deeply wrong with a multiracial society that is proudly & loudly opposing and shuttering offices working towards equity and diversity. Explicit anti-Blackness is being once again normalized.

May you be well received in the ancestral world, Joe Madison.❤️🙏🏽

Some good legal news: The conservative 11th Cir. unanimously struck down Florida’s Stop WOKE Act as violative of the 1st Amendment. The state cannot forbid private employers from having training programs on race and diversity, as the Act required. Sorry, DeSantis. It’s a hard no.

As a journalist who has conducted hundreds of interviews and read tons of articles about George Floyd, leading up to an award-winning book about his life and legacy, I've been bothered by the misinformation about him. Here are the answers to some myths about #GeorgeFloyd:

Black women die in childbirth at the highest rates in the industrialized world, and yet a program in California designed to address that race-specific harm is being sued for discriminating against people who are not dying at the highest rates.

On behalf of the American people, I thank Joe Biden for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country. I am honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination.

Spreading bigoted and false claims about Haitian people to stoke fear is hateful and disgusting. I am standing with our Haitian communities in New York and across the nation. America's diversity is what makes our country great. cbsnews.com/news/baseless-…

“Woman who first spread Springfield rumor regrets it.” “I deleted the post. I was wrong. I messed up royally. I never meant to cause so much hate.” This woman has more courage than JD Vance. Please share this video far and wide.

Why we need professional journalists: JD Vance rep tells @wsj about Anna Kilgore, a Springfield OH woman whose cat went missing in August, so Kris Maher drives to her house. She found the cat in her basement and apologized to her Haitian neighbors.
