Comment from UAW President Shawn Fain on mass arrests of anti-war protestors:

Yet Morning Joe and other legacy news media outlets seem to have no problem spreading these dangerous and easily provable lies.
No wonder young people are looking to other sources for their news.

One of the best things I learned reading about the Civil Rights Movement is that all movements are imperfect and that those expecting perfection (in strategy, from activists, or in actions) are not only opposed to the movement but often too cowardly to admit it.

Fulton Co. DA Fani Willis gets a very warm reception from the crowd at the Inman Park festival in Atlanta.
“Thank you,” “You’ve got my vote,” “If you need my help let me know,” people in the crowd shout as she goes by. One person booed her. She made eye contact and smiled.

déjà vu @AnonymMust a woman turn 93 before her artistic achievements are recognized? Even after a remarkable career in art, Faith Ringgold hadn’t been the subject of a retrospective until just shy of her centennial. It will take decades to achieve equal representation of women’s work in museums03:21 PM - Dec 03, 2023
