Tomorrow night at 7 PM EST marks the final time I’ll be tuning into #MSNBC. As Angela Rye said, ‘We have been summoned to act; our ancestors require it.’ This is a personal decision rooted in my commitment to support media, brands, & organizations that aligns with my values…

Unpopular opinion particularly in black southern culture, but you can’t truly be pro-Black while being anti-Black LGBTQIA+. We gotta stop that shit!

Zelensky saying he’d resign if it meant peace for Ukraine is the definition of true patriotism—putting country over self. Patriotism isn’t about serving personal interests; it’s about service to others.

The only reason I have cable, the only reason I watch MSNBC—gone. I’m so sorry, @joyannreid.bsky.social This is beyond fucked up, especially at a time when we need truth and voices that fight for us all. @msnbc.com I will never tune in again! #JoyAnnReid www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/b...

Kamala Harris’ speech at the NAACP Image Awards was truly inspiring. It’s hard to fathom how America dishonored itself by choosing Trump over someone who embodies both democratic values and true patriotism. Harris is a leader who continues to uplift and represent the best of this country.

I don’t know if this is just for me, but it crossed my mind, so I’ll share it—just in case you need it. Use your key…. You have a safe place to run, no matter what happens. You can always seek refuge. He will never leave you, nor will He forget your works. You have access—use it! 🙏🏾

The White House released this on their social media. We are at war, America—to save America—and we don’t even realize it yet.

Presidents get to set the tone for the culture in a lot of ways. We have to reject this dumb shit and that jackass in the White House. www.cnn.com/2025/02/19/u...

Trump just dismantled the department responsible for protecting our elections from foreign interference. This move raises serious concerns about the integrity of our democracy. #ProtectOurElections #Democracy apnews.com/article/trum...

Pray this works!!! I’ve got a scar on my face 🥹

I seen this earlier and thought I’d share… “Somebody is with your ex right now realizing why you left”

When we start to die from polio—or measles, another old disease we now have vaccines for that once killed countless people—remember every Republican, except one, voted for RFK Jr. Good luck America! www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Can we collectively commit to protecting Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett and refuse to leave her unsupported, like we did Tamika Mallory? Don’t shoot the messenger—I’m just saying/praying that our people have our leaders’ backs when we send them out in front of us. Particularly when they need us. 🙏🏾

Thank you, Issa Rae and Shonda Rhimes. Ain’t nothing better than the 92% nothing in the whole wide world! #shondarhimes #issarae

Trump’s DOJ has decided to politically prosecute Letitia James, NY’s AG and a bold Black woman who’s never held back from upholding the law. But this won’t be your typical legal battle—it’s a power play meant to silence a fierce critic.

Kendrick Lamar is to conscious Black men what Beyoncé is to conscious Black women—he makes us feel proud and seen through his public work. That’s culture. It goes beyond marketing or music. That’s what makes icons. This man is becoming one of the 🐐in my opinion. #blacksky

I’ve had a queen-size bed my whole adult life, but recently, someone told me it’s too small for my grown age. Like, what’s the cutoff? Am I supposed to have a California King just because I pay a mortgage?

I’m attending the Beyoncé concert strictly for business purposes and will be bringing a prospective client. I’ll be writing off the ticket as a legitimate business expense—legally. No reason to let Trump and the billionaires have all the tax benefits.

Aye, I don't think I've watched a Super Bowl performance as much as I've watched Kendrick Lamar's. I'm so damn proud for the culture!

Don’t forget to cancel that Paramount+ free trial! We only signed up to see Beyoncé at the Grammys—don’t let them hit you with that charge.

Threads is suppressing free speech, again!

“This is what opened my eyes to what lynching really was—an excuse to get rid of African Americans who were acquiring wealth and property and thus keep the race terrorized.” – Ida B. Wells 🙏🏾 #blacksky

In honor of Black History Month, I’m revisiting some of my favorite stories of sacrifice and love from the Civil War era. I know I’ve posted about this book before, but if you haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend I Can’t Wait to Call You My Wife by Rita Roberts. It’s a must-read!

This is not a political statement I repeat this is not a political statement… it’s just coffee… or is it?! #coffee #patriotism #peaceandlove

Just when it seemed like the Constitution was being ripped up and tossed aside, federal judges stepped in and said, “Not so fast.” I hope this momentum continues. To the attorneys in the good fight—keep filing those lawsuits.

I just looked at my company’s organization chart, and I’m the only Black male managing partners in corporate—there isn’t another one in the entire company. I hadn’t realized that until now, and it just hit me with so much anxiety—literal anxiety.

Anybody know how to grow avocados in the house? I need answers before Trump makes them $60 a pop. I’m so damn tired of this man—my avocado toast is not up for negotiation!

Beyoncé said thank you, about time, good night and bye! #Beyonce @Beyonce #GRAMMYs

Lady Gaga and Billie Eilish’s tears perfectly captured what it means to be an ally. I love this for her, I love this for the culture—congratulations, Beyoncé! #Grammys2025 #beyonce

Sterling K Brown! That’s the post… bro is an amazing talent!

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Costco has this for $200 off. I grabbed one, stocked up on a ton of food, and even picked up a prescription— all at great prices. IJS #Costco is quickly becoming my favorite store.

They earned my vote, and I’m proud to say it. I voted for them because I believed our democracy was fragile—so fragile that a dictator could infiltrate it, threatening everything our ancestors fought for. Boy, wasn’t I right.

Donald Trump was asked if he would visit the site of last night’s fatal crash. His response? “What’s the site—water? You want me to go swimming?”—as if the idea of paying respects was absurd. This man has constantly shown us who he is.

I’m paraphrasing, but I believe Michelle Obama said something along the lines of: Don’t think the ugliness won’t reach every part of America. In other words, you might not feel the impact of Trump’s chaos now, but eventually, no one is immune. All rights are under attack, & as we see, voting matters

He gutted critical aviation safety staff with illegal edicts—now he’s blaming the same people he defunded and fired. Unbelievable, we don’t have all the facts just yet but he didn’t help and still isn’t.

7 days ago, the media reported on Trump cutting key aviation safety measures. A week later, the deadliest aviation disaster since 9/11 happens. This is heartbreaking. I’m praying for all those lost in this tragedy.
