p.s. For my Canadian #LawFedi types, @scc_bot will be sticking around on law.builders. Give it a follow to keep up with all of the interesting news the Supreme Court of Canada sees fit to share with us!

Hey all, I'll be migrating this account over to esq.social in the coming hours. If you see a follow request coming from @jbe, that's me. (This should also be confirmed by my Keyoxide link, which is linked to my profiles on both instances.) See y'all over there!

p.s. law.builders is a great instance for #LegalTech types, but it's also been a fantastic home for a run-of-the-mill litigator like me. Keep an eye on all of the awesome projects coming out of this instance!

An #Alabama school system arranged to have award-winning author Derrick Barnes visit three schools as part of its #BlackHistoryMonth programming.

But then a parent complained that Barnes' social media posts contain "controversial ideas."

Now the #Hoover school system has cancelled the author's visit. And its personnel have been giving conflicting reasons for the decision, sometimes even blaming the author himself for cancelling.

Some people will go their graves believing that anti-Black racism is based in good-faith differences of opinion that can easily be corrected with a little reason. People who experience anti-Black racism recognize that as folly—magical thinking of the “when you wish upon a star” variety.

Alas, we are not listened to, because what would we know …

Florida is offering an advanced lesson in anti-Blackness

Me at 20: I want to make a difference in the world

Me at 40: maybe if I stand really still and never speak again, I won’t fuck anything else up

MLK50 is, in words from its mission statement, “a nonprofit news outlet in Memphis focuse[d] on the intersection of poverty, power and policy.” They have published a collection of their articles and columns on the relationship between police and community in #Memphis, in an effort to provide context for protests there tonight. I found this local coverage valuable. https://mlk50.com/2023/01/27/to-understand-policing-politics-and-protest-in-memphis-read-this/
