When Black Twitter took to the streets

PLUS: More of WIRED's best longreads from this week.

View this email in your browser  |  Manage newsletter subscriptions  07.25.21 Last week we published the first installment of our epic oral history of Black Twitter. This week we're back with episode two. Called "Rising Up," it focuses on the years 2012 to 2016, when the community that coalesced in the social app's early days became not just a potent cultural force but, in the words of oral history author Jason Parham, "the biggest social justice movement of our time." The Editors | WIRED   A People's History of Black Twitter, Part II BY JASON PARHAM | 11-MINUTE READ No longer just an online movement, Black Twitter takes to the streets—and finds its voice.   The Absurd Idea to Put Bodycams on Teachers Is ... Feasible? BY SIDNEY FUSSELL | 3-MINUTE READ The idea to monitor educators so they don't teach critical race theory seems ridiculous. But schools are already rife with invasive surveillance.   Private Espionage Is Booming. The US Needs a Spy Registry BY PAUL STAROBIN | 6-MINUTE READ From Black Cube to Fusion GPS, the operatives-for-hire industry has recklessly exploded. Disclosure requirements could keep things in check.   The Olympics Could Be a Covid-19 'Super-Evolutionary Event' BY ADAM ROGERS | 10-MINUTE READ In a warped version of international cooperation, the Games could provide a place for variants of the virus to spread and then return home with athletes.   Weak US Privacy Law Hurts America's Global Standing BY JUSTIN SHERMAN | 6-MINUTE READ Unrestrained data collection and selling doesn't just harm citizens at home. It's terrible foreign policy.   Biden's Cybersecurity Team Gets Crowded at the Top BY GARRETT M. GRAFF | 6-MINUTE READ It's a lot of talent, but the US now has five overlapping roles jockeying for limited budgets, authorities, and bureaucratic victories.
