A quotation from Ta-Nehisi Coates
I don’t really worry about the young, whose excesses are confined to lecture halls and quadrangles, so much as I fear the old, whose tyrannies are legislative.
Ta-Nehisi Coates (b. 1975) American writer, journalist, educator
The Message, ch. 3 “Bearing the Burning Cross” (2024)More about this quote: wist.info/coates-ta-nehisi/855…

Makdisi Street welcomes #TaNehisiCoates to talk about the #KamalaHarris campaign's failure to oppose the #GazaGenocide in the #2024election, and the #DNC's exclusion of and contempt for Palestinian voices.
(should be required listening for Masto shitlibs who spent the campaign telling anti-genocide protesters to shut up & who troll them with phony I told you so's to this day)

"Much as broadcast news in the ’60s made it hard for Southern white supremacists to hide their brutality, social media has made it impossible for Israel, and thus the American empire, to hide its own."
Excellent Vanity Fair piece by Ta-Nehisi Coates about Kamala Harris' awful record on Gaza and her unceasing support of Israel.

This Was Crazy! The Analysis of Ta-Nehisi Coates Is Like School On a Sunday; No Class.

The way Dr. Jared Ball dragged Coates for filth here. Chef's Kiss!! White people think he is some second coming of James Baldwin. Dude is so embarrassingly ignorant of straight-up fundamentals of black radical history. Shit he is even ignorant of just regular history

This 🤬 is who attacked #TaNehisiCoates for writing about the plight of #Palestinians in the #WestBank & accused Coates of being an extremist. #CBS found #Dokoupil acted inappropriately & said his interview “did not meet editorial standards.”
But sure yeah give him #anchor.
#TonyDokoupil Is Named Anchor of ‘CBS Evening News’
He replaces John Dickerson & Maurice DuBois in one of the most high-profile decisions of #BariWeiss’ early tenure as editor in chief.

#TonyDokoupil is the guy whose aggressive interview of #TaNehisiCoates re #Israel was publicly reprimanded by his old bosses at #CBS as not meeting their standards. Of course #BariWeiss gave him their top anchor job.

This was such a nice listen: FIRE IN EVERY DIRECTION with Tareq Baconi & Ta-Nehisi Coates
"we bring you the launch of Fire in Every Direction: A Memoir, Tareq Baconi’s singular coming-of-age story about queer and political awakening from within the Palestinian diaspora. Baconi was joined by Ta-Nehisi Coates in a conversation about personal and political memoir."
They also read a few pieces from the book, and it sounds beautiful, IMO.

This has been on my mind, especially since the Charlie Kirk murder: Truth and Reconciliation. There can be no reconciliation without truth.

And any white man who demands space to redeem while asking the harmed to silence themselves is refusing to build alternatives. He is refusing to believe that justice, not comfort, is the foundation of community.

"Words are not violence, nor are they powerless. Burying the truth of the Confederacy, rewriting its aims and ideas, and ignoring its animating words allowed for the terrorization of the Black population, the imposition of apartheid, and the destruction of democracy."
Ta-Nehisi Coates once again perfectly brings us back into the larger reality of American history, doing the work that the Gavin Newsoms and Ezra Kleins of the world have spectacularly failed at.

WendyMcMahon’s tenure atop #CBSNews, which she took over in Aug 2023, has been rocky at times
…#ShariRedstone openly criticized McMahon’s handling of an Oct incident involving the “CBS Mornings” anchor #TonyDokoupil, who in an interview had challenged the author #TaNehisiCoates’s views about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

“A #history professor who leads a course on genocide was instructed not to mention atrocities committed against Native Americans, according to several academy officials. The English department purged works by well-known Black authors, such as #ToniMorrison, #JamesBaldwin and #TaNehisiCoates, the officials said.”
