An inability to imagine a world without police doesn’t make you practical or insightful. It makes you very similar to people who couldn’t imagine a world without chattel slavery

A book I would still like to be talking about in 2023 is ’ brilliant MEAN, which is basically my high mark for a perfect memoir, engrossing, heartbreaking, ferocious, she wrote the shit out of that (as she always does)

The Woman King shut out from awards season is truly a sight to behold. The film, director & actors gave us some of the best work this year.

Layleen Polanco was a 27 year old trans woman who died in solitary confinement at Rikers when she had a seizure and no one helped her. She had been held at Rikers pretrial on $500 bail she couldn’t afford. A needless tragedy that could have been prevented

It was MLK day here in the US. But across the pond, PM Rishi Sunak signed the death warrant for the UK. This creates a constitutional crisis, and Scots are ready to leave as their independence is threatened by a hostile government they played little part in electing. twitter.com/LosAngelesBlad

White moderates are more devoted to order than to justice. They are devoted to maintaining a negative peace which is meerly the absence of tension rather than gaining a positive peace which is the presence of justice. #MLKDay twitter.com/TheKingCenter/

Every once in a while I go back to thinking about Jack Johnson's time in Mexico.
He's there, making the U.S. government nervous, adding to tension to the ongoing Mexican Revolution as it spills into the US Southwest.

I haven't seen M3gan but she really gives off Hollywood publicist vibes. The kind who gives you 15 minutes to conduct an interview for a major profile and then at Minute 11 loudly announces: "LAST QUESTION."

Two years after insurrectionists invaded our Capitol, the elects a Speaker who enabled it.
That’s not accountability.
McCarthy sold out his gavel like he sold out our democracy—to white supremacist insurrectionists.
That’s not leadership.

Kevin McCarthy’s prize will be to get embarrassed on many more votes this term for as long as he can stave off being relieved of his duty by the people he just gave away the shop to.
