Why did MSNBC fire Tiffany Cross?
Was it bc America's Top White Nationalist accused her of being anti-white? Was it bc she clapped back when the Queen of the KKKarens called her a "dumbass?" Was it bc they don't care about Black viewers?
Yes.

When I first visited @nytimes , long before they hired me, I stood in front of the Pulitzer wall in awe of the legacy. I never imagined one day my photo would go there. Because of Covid, it took two years after I won for the #1619Project for my photo to go up this week. 🖤

With abortion rights being threatened across the country, it’s important to understand what the recent Supreme Court draft opinion means, and how everyone can get involved in the fight to demand #BansOffOurBodies!

Our hearts go out today to the family and friends of Mrs. Maxine McNair, who passed today at age 93. Mrs. McNair was mother of Denise McNair and the last living parent of the Four Little Girls killed in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in 1963.

People are very exhausted right now. Maybe think of ways to not add stress, labor and unnecessary questioning to yourself and others. Go inward and cultivate silence.
Chill a little. Offer grace. Rest.

A1: That the organizations and systems set up to support workers are under-resourced, stretched, and staffed by incredibly committed people who often need support themselves.

A1: We need living wages, access to digital tools, etc. AND it's clearly not just about training - we need a full commitment to workers reflected in wages, benefits, etc. This reality affirms that folks are one crisis away from being back at square 1. #JobEquityCOVID
