#GalaxyStern not done yet but thoroughly enjoying the latest Leigh Bardugo book!! Dead Beat just keeps the same themes going. Excellent action and horror beats blended with moments of humor and wit. Love it! #books #deadbeat

It's been almost 2 months since police killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley outside a Mississippi Walmart and while local leaders are silent, community members are not. New from me on what's happening in Senatobia, MS for @theintercept.com:

theintercept.comBlack Residents Warned of Abusive Cops for Years. Then Police Shot and Killed a Toddler.In Senatobia, Mississippi, where police killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley, community members had urged leaders to rein in the police. Are they listening now?

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

#oilpastel #thelovewitch this 2018 movie was so striking. It felt like watching a film from the 1960s or 70s from the length of shots to the acting style and colors! When I was in the mood for a Valentine’s themed painting, I immediately thought of the live witch #witchy

If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status. Call the GI Bill Rights hotline: 1-877-447-4487

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why: They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course. The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

Whelp, if it was censored in the BBC program, let’s just share it far and wide here.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

This Day in Labor History: November 8, 1970. Congress approved the Reorganization Acts Amendment that laid the groundwork for the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency. Let's talk about how the EPA is a pro-worker agency, counter to those who want to divide labor and environmentalists!

“Authoritarians always target art first. They do so, because art and history are enemies of the myths a regime needs to survive." From my new TIME piece on Donald Trump’s campaign to defund the arts and rewrite our history. The stakes could not be higher.

time.comTrump’s Campaign to Defund the Arts—and Rewrite History"The campaign to defund the arts, capture our museums, and rewrite our history is a prelude to silencing dissent."

Trump's federal agents shot Marimar Martinez, a US citizen, multiple times for allegedly menacing them with her car in Chicago. Only hours later, Kristi Noem and DHS started spreading disinformation about the shooting. Now the official line is crumbling. 1/ (link) newrepublic.com/article/2019...

newrepublic.comTrump’s Secret Police Shot a Citizen. Then Damning New Info Emerged.As the official Trump administration line about the shooting of a Chicago woman crumbles, Senator Chris Murphy is asking pointed questions about what really happened here. Will we ever get answers?

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections
