GAYLE KING WAS FLOORED THE LONE HOLDOUT IN THE LINDSAY CLANCY JURY WAS A BLACK MAN. I WASN’T.
Before we ask why one Black juror could not join the other eleven, we need to ask what Black Americans have learned about children, punishment, and which children America sees as innocent.

I DESPERATELY need your help with something, even if it’s just sharing this skeet:

I’m working on a piec about the evolution of video games and the KEY to my story is a guy named Oscar Munoz who worked for Sega in the early 1990s

I’ve tried everything to find him and social media is my last resort

Tarrant County’s decision to reduce the number of polling locations ahead of midterm elections is another attempt to put distance between voters and the ballot box.

We’re not asking for permission to vote. We’re demanding access.

Tarrant County’s November elections will have 92 fewer places to cast ballots than 2022

Here’s my piece on the “now-completed demolition” of the Voting Rights Act in @thenation.com

The VRA is the most important piece of legislation in American history. It more than anything is what ended American-style apartheid. And now Republicans have killed it.
The Supreme Court Has Completed Its Quest to Kill the Voting Rights Act
In its 6-3 decision, the court gutted the legislation that ended apartheid in this country—and once again gave white people the ability to suppress Black political power.
