Four years ago I wrote my inaugural poem The Hill We Climb. Both when I wrote it and performed it, I did so while continuously reflecting on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and Coretta Scott King’s legacy.
For there is always light
If only we are brave enough to see it
If only we are brave enough to be it

ICE agents are stalking the streets of Minneapolis demanding that random brown people provide proof of citizenship.
We good with that, America?
I thought we learned this lesson back in World War II, but I guess not.

This is Minneapolis:
Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city.
Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

PSA: If ICE bursts down your door, put your dogs or other animals in a cage or a closed room. ICE agents have been trigger-happy before. Let someone know they are there.

Not only was Musk completely ignorant of what USAID did and how many lives it saved
He also called it a “criminal organization” that “needs to die”
And Trump-being even MORE stupid and ignorant-let him kill it

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.
12 days of work in over 3 months.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

In all the chaos, I would urge folks to remember that a lot of folks now don’t know when their next check will come.
The vast majority are good people who love this nation deeply, and many of them are still working despite not knowing when they’ll be paid

Violence is never justice. I condemn it without caveat. But condemning an act of violence does not mean canonizing the person who was killed. Compassion for the family does not mean sainthood for the father. Mourning does not mean whitewashing the movement he built.
