Marco Rubio, the son of exiles turned agent of repression. Masked agents. No due process. A student deported for an op-ed. This ain’t freedom—it’s fascism in disguise. I wrote this because I’m furious. Read it. Feel it. Share it. Let it burn. 🔥 open.substack.com/pub/scripted...

Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show was a masterclass in subversion—an all-Black cast forming the American flag, each in red, white, and blue. Samuel L. Jackson as “Uncle Sam,” reclaiming Black autonomy in a country built on our culture. This was genius. #KendrickLamar #SuperBowlLVIII

For Black History (and every) Month, we honor Black storytelling—not just as entertainment, but as liberation.

Sing Sing isn’t just a film—it’s a testament to how art can save lives.

Based on a real-life prison theater program, the film stars formerly incarcerated men who lived this experience. ⬇️
