My @TEDTalks is live! In it I transform the tragedy of #LivingWhileBlack headlines into something beautiful. Please watch, share, and consider supporting. I'm so proud of this.

"How to deconstruct racism one headline at a time"
@TEDTalks Some additional resources to share. First, I make a LOT of assertions in the talk about police behavior and specific incidents. I tried hard to support everything with footnotes, so here you go! ted.com/talks/baratund…
Then there's the suggested reading and resources. Major props to @ProfCAnderson and her book White Rage + @VillanuevaEdgar for #DecolonizingWealth, plus @PolicingEquity on research and @eji_org More explained here ted.com/talks/baratund…
There's much more but I wanted to make sure some of those folks got shouted out on the official @TEDTalks page so explore those links and scroll down.
@TEDTalks As I left the TED stage, I was called back on to answer I question I didn't see coming. Here's how that played out.

As an early, loud ambassador I too thought there‘d be a physical US base & was confused & disappointed to discover otherwise. This message is a good acknowledgment of error. I’ll stay a member to see how the founding principles are applied cause I still want/believe in the model
But if anyone joined b/c of me AND a belief this org would operate a physical US office and feels duped or disappointed by that absence, i understand and offer my own apology. Request a refund from The Correspondent which they promise to process “right away” and lmk if they don’t
I myself joined as member, ambassador, and part-time paid “campaign strategist” largely because a) I believe we need new organizing models for media and b) the stellar person that is @zainabshah. Working with her on the crowdfunding campaign was a joy

This could take hours, days, or maybe I won't ever make it to the end, but this begins my final PDF breakdown of Robert Mueller's work on behalf of our U.S. democracy. 448 pages. starting with the cover. Volume 1 of 2?? They already promising sequels? How George RR Martin-esque!
page 2 is blank. reminding me of my childhood book reports I wanted to make so nice and beautifully formatted. I remember trying to get those plastic bindings to loop through and mostly i just went with a binder clip. I wonder if Mueller used the plastic loopies.
the table of contents is five pages. for those who've seen me do this before i continue to be impressed with the organizational structure of these legal documents! Roman numerals. Indenting. Clarity matters when outlining foreign attacks. Wish I could change to a sans font tho

Here we go again with attempts to control women's health choices. This time it's Georgia where the legislature is taking up HB 481 which outlaws abortions once a doctor detects a heartbeat in the womb — usually 6 weeks into pregnancy & before most women know they are pregnant.
This is effectively a state-wide abortion ban, and they know it would be unpopular so they are rushing it through. Maybe they won't respond to the idea that this is cruel and discriminatory, but also that #HB481isBadForBusiness.

Georgia is home to a lot of film work, for now.
If you’re a #Georgia resident pls call
Gov. Kemp 404-656-1776
Speaker Ralston 404-656-5020
Metro ATL Chamber (404)880-9000
Urge them to stop this terrifying bill.

Please consider supporting my wife’s newspaper on Patreon (patreon.com/themanchesterm…). Quality local journalism is under dire threat, and building a free fact-based news source for rural America is a problem that needs to be addressed village by village, and town by town.
Over 10 years, working journalists in the US have halved from almost 80K down to less than 40K. In rural America, news deserts are becoming the norm. Sara Swanson has worked 5 years to build a free online and on paper newspaper for our community of 10k rural Michigananders.
Sara had dedicated more than a decade to charitable work in the village of Manchester, Michigan. She works for healthy food, for the fair treatment and feeding of the poor, and for the rights of women in our rural community. But she found communication was the bottleneck.

"are these necessary?" You ask being strapping in. "Just there to keep you from getting hurt during the process. I can loosen them a little if they are too tight." Shaking your head you reply no. Once you are secured you watch me walk back to the lab table.
Silently I pull a a gray liquid from the graduated cylinder at the end of the table. "Now, open up and don't dribble any out." Slowly, I tip the liquid in to your mouth. Thicker than you expected, creamy with a taste of almonds. Butterflies in your stomach, you sit expectantly.
Your vision gets fuzzy, and your skin tingles all over your body. You see goosebumps down your arms and legs as your eyes slide in and out of focus. The tingles turn to tickles, the thick laugh that comes out startles you, almost as much as seeing your nose stretch and elongate.
