Read MY ARTICLE below--printed a few days BEFORE Roberta Flack transitioned. I've been reflecting on her music & what it's meant to my life. My mom made both Nina Simone & Roberta Flack’s music a part of my childhood, and I'm so much more vibrant for it.
Thank you mama!

Claiming that DOGE will improve America’s debt crisis is a convenient way to frame the project as a service to the American people, @lorakelley.bsky.social writes in The Atlantic Daily. But DOGE’s current efforts aren‘t likely to make a dent in the deficit.

Elon Musk is waging a war on kids. Shutting down the Department of Education also means NO free school lunches, NO support for struggling families, and NO future for millions of children. This is what happens when billionaires have too much power. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!
is it woke to want to end cancer?
I like black coffee with no sugar , no crème, and tea without sweetener, but this little bit of honey in the Rooibos tea 🫖 I’m drinking is raising it to another level.

Black history is every month all the time, of course, but I’ll play this game. Almost a decade ago, Dan Kois and I put together the Black Film Canon, then we updated it in 2023, and it’s a great (but def not exhaustive!) primer for black film history:

rahm emmanuel's last act in politics was leaving the chicago mayor's office in disgrace and axelrod is almost YEARS removed from a successful campaign. who cares what they think
Journalists on MSNBC, CNN, PBS, ABC, etc. are useless. They act as if we’re not all in trouble here and looking at forthcoming broad scale catastrophe. We’ll have to rely on Independent media for any kind of pushback, truth-telling or concern for the people.
I’m waiting for somebody like Meryl Streep or Daniel Day Lewis to come on the Criterion Closet series & select a film like The Mack or She’s Gotta Have It. THEN I’d be impressed. Although I have seen actors or directors choose some surprising picks like Ghost Dog and To Sleep with Anger
Don’t think I’ll be taking any flights anytime soon. 😳😬
I rebuke and condemn the monstrous and grotesque racism expressed by Trump & others in their ignorant and crass assignation of blame for this tragedy, which is an affront to Kiah Huggins’ life’s work.
Signing off for the night.
So, if Biden’s FAA hires are so incompetent, then I guess the absence of a catastrophic air disaster during his presidency is just luck, right? Incredible.
I’ve got a real headache. 🙏🏽😔
