    On the way to a dinner party with interesting people, when Marvin Gaye came on, had to document What’s Going On in these DC streets around Capitol Hill in light of the emergency the White House told us about yesterday morning.

    Does this look like it warrants dramatic, overhyped response?

    ICE cannot continue to unlawfully enter homes without warrants AND use lethal force without consequence.

    The Senate must take into account how unlawful ICE officers are acting and DO SOMETHING. No hopes and prayers from people with power to stop this.

    Happy Black History Month/Life to all! With the ridiculous yet predictable attempted erasure of black culture in the United States, I’m stepping into this month with this energy.

    We got this if we lean on one another and the ancestors. We have been here before and made it. We will do it again.

    Personal stories have power! James tells us how Medicaid helps him live a full life and provides a night nurse so his parents “can sleep and not become
    horrible monsters every day.”

    Medicaid makes his world go around - so that is why we must #CancelCutsToMedicaid

    All this talk about echo chambers….

    In moments of transition and uncertainty - being in supportive community is the superpower and the medicine.

    So let’s make this echo chamber one of support, facts and healing as best we can.

    What do you think?

    Leader Jeffries is neither a THUG, nor Low IQ and far from a danger to the country.

    Trump’s policies are so unpopular that he can only resort to what he knows best - naked racism and coded language.

    This is called projection, not leadership.

    Bought these banned books and notes by good trouble makers from black bookstores today.

    Today was a good day.

    How did you resist today?

    If #TrumpVotesByMail regularly, then why are he and Congressional Republicans clamoring for the SAVE Act? You can’t have it both ways.

    The only thing our elections need protection from is interference from politicians who know their days in power are numbered.

    November can’t come soon enough.

    I may be wrong, but I don’t remember Elon Musk being on the ballot for President.

    But it seems like the one who barely won the election is confused or doesn’t really hold power.

    Either way…. We didn’t vote for President Musk and his power grab must be checked.

    Rumor has it someone else did a salute yesterday…. I like mine better. Yesterday afternoon in Richmond, I went to the White House of the Confederacy in a James Baldwin tee-shirt because when they go low, I go ancestral. Raised fist in the air in defiance to the toxic mythology of the Confederacy.

    Just because you are about to take power doesn’t mean you can abuse it, nor will we let you.

    The @acluofdc stands ready to fight for all rights especially due process/freedom of speech, immigrant rights and DC home rule.

    If it’s considered Radical to want affordable healthcare, to allow those with food insecurity to eat, to honor our commitment to taking care of veterans and keep the ultra rich from killing us with their greed then…. 👋🏾

    Cancel the cuts and keep the government open.

    Had to share this meme from @lisaloe.bsky.social

    This is how I feel when people come with their hatred, ignorance, doomsday predictions and other negativity. Nothing will disrupt my peace of mind/wellbeing.

    Those who say something can’t be done should get out of the way of those doing the work.

    Republicans know that their failed, cruel policies are unpopular and they will pay an electoral price. That is the real reason behind attempts to gerrymander and suppress the votes of married women and military families.

    We aren’t fooled by this at all. End this foolishness. #HandsOffHerVote

    Trump was supposed to lower costs on everything from Day One. Clearly we are living in the Upside Down because:

    ⬆️ Gas
    ⬆️ Housing
    ⬆️ Groceries

    Tariffs are taxes on imported goods. In our global economy, that means we pay for this. They call it Liberation Day, but I reality #TrumpsTariffsCostUS

    There is nothing Great or Beautiful about cutting SNAP funding for hungry children.

    They have the House, the Senate and the White House - they make every excuse for not doing something.

    When you have the power yet do nothing with it - it means you don’t care.

    Can we just call this what it is? A tired rendition of the Amerikkkan addiction to criminalizing blackness and conflating public safety with how many of us are incarcerated?

    This ain’t nothing but Willie Horton for the New Age.

    Don’t believe the hype.

    Be kind to yourself as you process an essential part of the human experience - disappointment and loss. Because this is not the last time life or people will disappoint you, but your setup can be the setup for your comeback.

    Let us be humble to learn needed lessons. Together we rise.

    I wanna know…

    How is everyone feeling? And please be honest bc it’s okay not to be okay.

    Also, remember as I learned from my elders, trouble don’t last always and joy as a strategy of defiance.

    All peace, healing and grace to those in need of all three right now.

    Asè and amen.
