Understand, the mass rollback on DEI is a test. We are being tested to see just how much we’ll allow corporations and our government lean into discrimination. They won’t stop at DEI initiatives.

While Republicans are trying to change to Constitution to allow Trump to serve a third term, Democrats met today to talk about social media strategy and tuna melts. Not a joke. Democrats need to clean house. This is not a party serious about serving us.

Far too often, people in politics use the term “working class” and mean white men. The single mom working two minimum wage jobs is working class. The server at a restaurant is working class. The working class is diverse. It’s damn near everyone.

Christmas is not “merry” for everyone. I have memories of my momma crying & being depressed during this time of the year. Being poor and trying to make it happen for family is hard as hell. To my struggling sistas and brothas: never give up. I see you, you’re doing your best.
