HBCU students have long been at the forefront of social movements. Given that history, why on Earth would Morehouse’s President not rescind the invitation to Biden? My latest column for @MSNBC. msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…

They have been attending vigils for their friends since they were children. They have watched their parents and grandparents call them snowflakes and cowards just for begging for a future with less senseless death. We have failed them so badly and we need to show up WITH them.

Others have said this better but I truly don't think people are remembering that many of the students protesting now, have never expected cops to protect them. They have grown up doing school shooting drills and they know if something happens, no one is coming. They're prepared.

In December, high-school student Aila Haqq (a pseudonym used to protect her acceptance to university) wrote for @yesmagazine about academic institutions, including her own school, quelling protest about the genocide of Palestinians. Nothing has changed. yesmagazine.org/opinion/2023/1…

As part of an indefinite suspension, Columbia’s administration effectively evicted a student from her housing in the middle of the night shortly after her arrest for leading a peaceful protest on campus, affording her only 15m to pack her room. And they talk about student safety.

As a reminder, all media organizations, particularly nonprofit media organizations, need incredible fundraisers who understand the business inside and out. If you want to enter journalism and are feeling unsure about the state of the industry, consider the business side.

I really transform nonprofit media outlets from the inside out, forcing them to live up their stated ideals and treat people better in the process. I’m an editorial mastermind for real. I’ll never, ever say that out loud, but I know who I am. 🙏🏾
