Back when I was on the board of the CBLDF I got very used to the idea of comics material for adults being challenged by people who thought comics were for kids. The idea of books aimed at children being challenged just because they had positive black characters was unimaginable. The world's changed.

“If we cannot know the value of our lives, or of life itself, then what is it that we’re celebrating? I could strain my brain trying to wrap it around that existential question, but Peter’s thinking on these matters is far less contradictory than the Christianity I grew up with.”

Trump’s lawyers FAILED to ask for a jury.
NY AG Letitia James asked for a “Trial without jury” — a bench trial, with the judge deciding.
After the AG filed this form, Trump needed to file one of his own.
He never did.

Though I’m now an ex-New Yorker, I lived most of my life in NY. I’ve spent years staying far away from *any* media on 9/11 because too many folks forget (ignore?) that the photos and videos are extremely triggering. Please, Spoutible Community, be especially kind tomorrow.🙏🏼
