DC! I'm coming to MLK Library on 6/11 with My book Five Bullets. Conversation with my friend Jonathan Capehart. It's about a subway shooting in 1984, but really is about fear, ambition, race, and media bias... Free. Register: dclibrary.libnet.info/event/16511918 cc @jonathancapehart.bsky.social

With SCOTUS done for the day, I can turn my attention to a book I’ve been excited to read since I first heard it. @elliotwilliams.bsky.social Five Bullets. A dive in Bernie Goetz, the OG of “violent white grievance” of my lifetime.

Just got my copy of Five Bullets by @elliotwilliams.bsky.social. Looking forward to reading‬⁩ about the Bernhard Goetz case and learning more about the causes of vigilante violence.

Thanks to @elliotwilliams.bsky.social for trying to help me understand the difference between "evade" and "defy" and "facilitate" and "effectuate" this morning on NPR's Morning Edition. I'll post the audio as soon as it's ready

Jimmy Carter, from my college graduation, with a poignant point about class and income inequality: “I would say that everyone in this stadium, by my definition, is a rich person.”

Also important to note here that background checks aren’t just about who’s smoked weed or bounced a rent check. Biggest things they’re looking for are whether the applicant has ties to foreign governments or is susceptible to blackmail. It’s kiiiiiiiind of important, no matter who’s in power…
