From Platner’s collapse to Trump’s multi-billion-dollar grift to the death of an 18-year-old in Mississippi, Danielle Moodie and I talked about power, accountability, and how we retool the US economy.
I hope we can fix this. It's so devastating that this is still going on. All the time. I am hoping against hope there was an accident, but the way the other kids have been acting so weird makes it seem even less likely. I hope the family can get justice in Mississippi.
Thank you for talking about the young black boy who went missing on the boat. I am not on social media (Substack is about it)… This is yet another horrible incident. I am currently reading Ida B. Wells autobiography… I am a older white woman, and I am horrified that incidents like have ever happened in our country, let alone now… I love listening to you two together, you always educate me on topics that I have no experience with. Keep up the fight!
" If you tell a poor white man that he's better than the best Black man, you don't have to pick his pocket- he'll hand over his wallet"
Not a quote, but roughly what LBJ said. Sounds about right. Unfortunately, that was what, 75 years ago?

Congratulations Ahmed 🎉

I would be a paid subscriber as an admirer of your reporting; if $50 as some. Cannot afford the 1/2 doz I support at $100.

And news media has scrubbed any race signifiers from the story, erasing the white kids identities completely.
