If certain famous billionaire authors were to advocate for “Whites only” spaces, we’d all see it as the hate speech that it is. But when they advocate for “cis only” spaces, the most powerful newspaper in the country rushes to their defense

I don’t know this feeling. A mixture of relief, trauma, grief and anger over the last four years.
The constant gaslighting and attacks on the less powerful. The people that I’ve known who lost their lives.
We can’t just move on. We need accountability.

On June 11th, Michael Hickson, a quadriplegic black man with COVID-19 was killed by a hospital in Austin Texas.
Doctors decided he had "no quality of life" and was not worth spending the resources to save.
The conversation between his doctor and his wife was caught on audio 1/?

My eyes move involuntarily, each one swinging to its own music. They’ve danced this way for as long as I can remember. I can’t see it myself, but the jeering kids let me know. The adults nudging me to wear sunglasses let me know. And trolls certainly let me know. Thread 1/5

I have had people accost me in the NY streets because of things I wrote in the @nytopinion page about trans lives.
I have been proud to be part of the page since 2007.
Tonight I am not proud. I stand with black times writers, whose lives are endangered by the cotton screed.

That there are no comments allowed on that NYT Tom Cotton op-ed is telling.
This wasn't about public debate.
This was about unleashing a violent threat against black people/protesters and then pulling the "both sides" rationale.
Do you get pleasure from our bloodshed?

I am just about to pub a new @nytopinion column calling out Facebook for putting people in danger by allowing Donald Trump to run wild on the platform. I would be remiss if I did not second what Charlie said below. This puts black @nytimes staff in danger and I stand by them.
my colleagues said it more eloquently: Running this puts Black @NYTimes staff in danger. I stand by my colleagues in solidarity.

Running this puts Black @nytimes staff in danger *and* it’s FUCKING DUMB AS SHIT. I stand with my colleagues

🚨🚨 I wrote a big new piece about all the reasons why the pandemic is so confusing, and how to think about the many uncertainties. If you’re finding it hard to make sense of this complicated & ever-changing crisis, you’re not alone. I hope this helps. 1/ theatlantic.com/health/archi…
