Virginia GOP banning fiction novels about slavery because they’re allegedly traumatic to white kids but renaming their schools to Confederate terrorists despite their documented trauma on Black kids, aren't protecting children or education, they're protecting white supremacy.

#HannahDreier got a #Pulitzer for her MYT article revealing how child labor laws are being flouted in, among other states, Alabama.

In textile factories, meat plants & roofing companies, immigrant children work in clear violation of the law, & few folks seem that concerned, especially at the #Alabama Attorney General’s office.

Marshall, it seems, is more preoccupied with what’s happening in the Big Apple than who’s working for Fruit of the Loom.

David Sanborn passed away two days ago. He was a fantastic sax player and provided me with many hours of musical enjoyment. His version of “Since I Fell For You” with Bob James and Al Jarreau is my favorite version of this classic tune. From the Double Vision album, which was released 38 years ago this coming Sunday...
