Bamboozled or not, Black people should be able to read so-called mainstream publications without racist formulations in headlines. We’re retrogressing to the pre-Civil Rights Movement era. They can do better than this. But there is no incentive.

As Director of the Program in African American History at the Library Co of Phila, I am thrilled to post the CFP for a conference, BLACK PHILA, that I am organizing with 1838 Black Metropolis & McNeil Center at Penn. Please distribute widely: librarycompany.org/academic-…

My team and I have been working hard to secure a new home for the DC Archives, preserving the rich history of the District of Columbia! Thank you so much to our amazing community partners for all of their support! #TeamOS #WeAreDC

Every time I think I’ve seen it all from Trump. . .
From NPR’s @QuilLawrence: Arlington National Cemetery officials say Trump campaign staff verbally abused and pushed aside cemetery official who objected to filming and photography at gravesites
More below and to follow on NPR

In 2000, Al Gore “lost” Florida and with it, the presidency by 537 votes. I won my Senate seat by 312 votes. The battleground states will be decided by one or two votes per precinct. So volunteer! Phone bank! Door knock! Get out there for Kamala and Tim!!! #DNCConvention2024 go.kamalaharris.com/

A 50-state strategy is the only way to build. And who knows, you might win here.
My personal plea to @KamalaHarris and the @DNC.
Please don’t write off “red states” such as Montana. The energy and enthusiasm for moving forward, is here — like it is all across the country.
There are good, decent people in states like mine that are waiting to be noticed.

As I argue in this piece, the Obamas are a reminder that Dems can have success when they cast racial progress in the electoral context in patriotic terms, as a reason to feel good about our country: newrepublic.com/article/1850…
More on the turn in Democratic messaging on night 2 of #DNCConvention : how Ds focused less on offering voters fear of Trump than hope for a Reagan-like “morning” in a less divided & angry America

Wow.
The Washington Post “fact check”
of night 1 of the DNC is embarrassing.

Now routine for some of my fellow Democrats to call those protesting for Palestinian freedom and mere survival "pro-Hamas." It is akin to those in the 1950s-60s who called the civil rights movement "pro-Communist." Please stop.
