Since we last published 2 years ago, our hearts have grown larger because of all the necessary writing that has come out of the literary community. Things have been so dark in 2020, but we’re hoping to add to that forward momentum. Our new issue is here: midnightbreakfast.com/issue-…

It’s heartening to see so many comedians weighing in on the @THR piece & continuing the conversation about how the industry attracts and often elevates predators. But please don’t just subtweet—call him out by name. James Veitch is the accused rapist and abuser who preyed on us.

How can tech help? Hire more black people! Hire more brown people! A tech job has changed my financial mobility in the last 8 months. I paid off $10K in student loan debt only b/c of my job.

If you're going to protest, long sleeves & pants, cover your head & your face. Wear ballistic goggles if you can, knee & elbow pads, write important numbers on your forearm. Be careful, buddy up, & wear gloves. I love you. I want you to make it home.

Black store owners in Van Nuys getting mistaken as looters and subsequently being handcuffed by the police they flagged down to help them is exactly what this protest is about.

There is still a pandemic. Police are sending people to hospitals. They are deploying tear gas even though the virus is respiratory. And no one in their right mind is going to comply with contact tracing after this.

Once again, white friends. I appreciate y'all (the ones that are well intentioned) reaching about to me. But please don't let that be your only action. Talk to other white people. Have conversations within that sphere. Have a lot them. They should be very uncomfortable

A note: when you donate, include the processing fee. Say, if you want to give $50, give at least $52 to make up for fees (or else you really gave $48). With one donation, it might not make a difference, but over the aggregate, orgs can lose thousands of dollars to fees. (1/2)

I’m so f*cking worried about protestors getting coronavirus. It pains me. Please keep wearing your masks. Please keep beating your drum.

We need a national database of decertified police officers. No more dangerous cops getting a new job two towns away.

"African American men killed by law enforcement" becomes a trope that erases Black women... #BreonnaTaylor #WakieshaWilson #RedelJones #MichelleShirley #KishaMichael #YuvetteHenderson #RekiaBoyd #MeaganHockaday #MitriceRichardson #RenishaMcBride +++. #SayHerName #BlackLivesMatter

99 years ago, today, the Black Wall Street massacre in Tulsa Oklahoma occurred. 99 years later, we are still out in the streets marching. We want life, liberty, the ability to pursue happiness, and to not die by the hands of police too.

People keep saying: “Rioting is not the answer...” We know that, dummy. Black people cannot solve white supremacy. We didn’t create injustice. We don’t perpetuate it. It is not incumbent upon us to fix white people. But also... YOU HAD AN ANSWER THIS WHOLE TIME?!?!

Worth repeating that all of the police violence you see happening right now has been happening for a long time before there were any camera phones to record it. It’s a daily phenomenon in communities across the country. It’s structurally embedded into how these forces operate.

I feel beat up. I’m exhausted. I’m hurting. We need to know you stand with us, that you’re there for us. Check on your black friends. We need you. And if you don’t have any black friends, you should look into that. #BlackLivesMatter

Dear white LGBTQ: how do you benefit fr. Blackness? How do you steal resources, grants, access from Black writers/art? Having Black friends isn't enough. How do you re-distribute yr power for tangible change? To show up for Black ppl demands you shift your power, time, resources.
