Banning books goes against Freedom of Speech.
Banning Drag Shows goes against Freedom of Speech.
Don't Say Gay goes against Freedom of Speech.
The @GOP claims to be the party of less government & freedom.
I say the GOP is about repression of rights.

#TuckerCarlson lied.
He will lie tonight.
He will lie tomorrow.
And the day after that.
This is the kind of thing that will incite further political violence.
Fact becomes myth, myth becomes legend. Things are forgotten which should not be.
This is one thing that shouldn't be forgotten. A sitting POTUS started a violent attack to overturn an election.

Black Americans have a heritage of slavery. As do descendants of slavers who brought them, bought them, bred them & sold them. Those who fought a civil war to keep them, lynch them, Jim Crow them & whose blood still burns with fear & hate.
Excellent essay, with plenty of #freshwords (assuming I correctly understand the meaning of that hashtag)
eg the "invisible force field of protection" around #whitepeople like me
Anti-Racism at the Borderlands of Whiteness – The Brooklyn Rail

Since moving to the US, people have often asked me whether I see myself as a person of color or as white. I now say, White enough most of the time. This answer is conditional and not based on an internal sense of self, but on how Im seen by others.
