Fake ICE agent videos are circulating at they are even MORE reason real ICE agents should not COVER their FACES!!

They need to identify themselves. It’s it too dangerous not to. Everyone should be aware and outraged about this. #fakeiceagents
More fake ICE agents doing horrible things.

Everyone should be speaking up about this. Masks and no ID required is a ridiculous recipe for horrors. @MarshaBlackburn & @SenJohnson & Sexton should be banning it, not protecting it.

This iconic New Yorker image should be remembered. Stunning and heartbreaking all at once.
Today marks five years since George Floyd was killed by police. Our June 22, 2020 cover “Say Their Names,” by Kadir Nelson, illustrated how Floyd’s murder embodies the history of violence inflicted upon Black people in America. nyer.cm/UmfefJw

I can safely say on this app that I’m genuinely upset about things I KNOW are happening in Pompano Beach, but can’t prove.

It’s very difficult to keep emotions out of my stories. But how!?

An injustice is happening to our community of color and I feel responsible for not getting the word out.

Since I’m not known on this app, a small blessing, I can sort of safely vent.

I’ve been reporting about the city of Pompano Beach for 5 years. I’m watching as city officials blatantly ignore the community where a $200 million new downtown will go.

It’s difficult to take emotion away from writing.

@aoc.bsky.social didn’t realize you were a fellow Bronx chick. No wonder your unapologetically you and so outspoken. I’m here for it and will be watching your rise to the top, where you belong. I believe most champions are bred in the Bronx. I can speak from experience. Would love to meet you. 🤷🏻‍♀️

#PompanoBeach doesn’t have any dedicated newspapers.

Or do they?

#VillijNews is the only hyper local, black owned newspaper in the city. It’s where the REAL news is reported. We write the stories you actually WANT to read.

The past 5 years have been incredible!

Let’s continue the ride.

I thought long and hard on what my first post would be about. Ofc I don’t like starting over. But I’ve done it before.

I’m just happy to have a place to turn other than a #Meta platform.

Thank you, #bluesky.
