From testifying before Congress to killing press interviews, @dreisenheath has been making a powerful case for reparations this month & making me a proud colleague in the process. She's doing her job. Tell Congress it's time to do theirs by passing #HR40. hrw.org/ReparationsNow

#JonathanGold gave a shit about our city. He gave a shit about finding great food and good people and crafting it all into stellar writing. Listening to what he had to say was like an appropriate middle finger to the critics in other cities who could give a shit about ours.

Anthony Bourdain connected and humanized people through food. His episode on Punjab was one of the first times I saw people who looked like me on television not depicted as violent aggressors or as helpless victims. Thank you, Anthony, and rest in peace. cnn.com/video/shows/anthony-…

I’ve been hoping for more people to think seriously about detoxifying masculinity. Anthony Bourdain not only had no time for misogyny, but owned up to the role his early career played in creating a toxic archetype. We still need that. We still need him.

Last year, Anthony Bourdain did a Los Angeles episode of @PartsUnknownCNN where he focused on Mexican food and Latinos in LA. It was such a moving tribute to the Latino community that I wrote about it: remezcla.com/film/anthony-bo…

I think a proper tribute to @Bourdain would be wherever you live, venture across town, across the tracks, to a place you wouldn’t normally go and find a place to eat and talk with strangers. #anthonybourdain
