She hides her empathy for the struggles black girls face behind evidence that proves how difficult it is for black girls to get a good education. Morris is incredibly passionate about equal treatment for black girls, and her love and appreciation for black girls is apparent. The emotion contained in this book becomes clear as the foreword ends with the phrase "it is a love story" when referring to the book (xvii). If I was going to have to read a nonfiction book I wanted to read something that was not simply a collection of meaningless facts, I wanted to read something real, something raw with emotion, and Pushout has so far exceeded those expectations. The introduction begins with a moving account of a fourteen-year-old girl who was the victim of police brutality at her school it is what initially drew me to the book. In this post I will be analyzing the argument she makes throughout the beginning of the novel. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hello readers!

WASHINGTON DC – The first time I saw a political advert for Blake Masters, who is running in the Republican Senate primary in Arizona, I thought it was a parody. Currently polling behind the incumbent, Democrat Mark Kelly, this piece, originally published before the Arizona Republican Senate primary, is an introduction to the man and to politics that may sound like a joke, but are no laughing matter. Masters’s rhetoric is such that, when I first became aware of him, I thought he was a parody of a rightwing candidate. He is backed by his former employer, Peter Thiel. Blake Masters is the Republican Senate candidate for the state of Arizona in this year’s US midterm elections. ![]() |
