Florida just banned everything I teach at the university level. If legislators bothered to take my class, they’d learn that backlash events like this always coincide with white supremacist vigilante & state violence. Then again, they may already know.

Who doesn't love producer extraordinaire @tajmilan? His infectious energy, can-do spirit, and razor-sharp mind make him an indie film titan. Moving from studio films to tell AAPI, Black, LGBTQ, mental health, and disability stories—he's an unstoppable force flipping the script.

Black History I was taught in school:
Slavery.
George Washington Carver.
The Civil Rights Movement.
So we can hear the intricacies in American Revolutionary War battles, but can’t hear about the struggles/successes of various identity groups in America? Girl bye.

Students' knowledge of U.S. history is at an all-time low. This is what you get when you teach #CRT, DEI & the 1619 Project instead of the Declaration of Independence, the #Constitution & the Gettysburg Address.

Since watching the #BlackBarbieDocumentary the color Pink has transcended to a high level of “intention” for me. So many women paved a way to show inclusion and I’m so proud to pick up and continue.
Thank You, THANK YOU!

long-term, I don’t think news for angry old people works. Good parts, yes, bad brand" :)
As #WGAstrike looms, I've been trying to find a list of AMPTP members. Closest I've come is this post from 2007, in case you're wondering who the "independent" (LOL) members are. Wish everyone would stop calling the AMPTP "producers." They're corporations! unitedhollywood.blogspot.com/2007/12/moguls

I remember watching in terror from my college dorm. a travesty that nothing has been done. Do something as doing nothing has just led to more dead and a generation(s) scarred.

Today marks 24 years since the shooting at Columbine High School, but no matter how many years pass, I will always remember the 13 lives lost that day.
Littleton will always be in my heart, and I will always fight for a safer, better future. #HonorWithAction

The world is watching. The Tennessee establishment made a big error. Their hypocrisies, misogyny, bigotry is in the open now. 1 by 1, all undone. Their fiefdom is over. Keep the pressure on. Thanks the #TennesseeThree and so many others. This can be a great state
