As the Trump Administration Erases Black History, These Writers Are Keeping It Alive

/

One of the unmistakable throughlines of the second Trump administration is how it’s overhauling policies that directly affect African Americans, most notably by targeting programs and initiatives that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI.  For journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones, it’s an attempt to take the country back to an era before the civil rights movement.

How to Resist Like Minneapolis

/

In the chaos of 2020, Minneapolis got angry and brave and tired and jittery (Was that shots or fireworks? Unclear, check the Signal chat). Many of us got comfortable with the idea of direct giving (Just, like, to a Venmo account? Yep. How do you deduct it? Can’t). Under nightly curfews and circling helicopters, the […]
