Today, I testified at the Senate and Governmental Affairs Committee as they consider redrawing our congressional maps. I believe in โฆ
A Louisiana that is stronger when every voice matters.
A Louisiana that is richer because of its diversity.
A Louisiana built on the promise of a multiracial democracy.
We do that with two districts where Black voters have a meaningful chance to elect their candidate of choice. Watch my remarks:
#lalege @lademos@louisianasenate@LouisianaHouse@TheBlackCaucus@HouseDemocrats
Let the record show that Louisiana had some Black men who spoke truth to power.
Let the record show that Republicans in the Louisiana Senate are not leaders. They are a reflection of some of the worst parts of America, and history will remember them in 4K.
Next week, this committee will vote on Louisianaโs congressional maps. Anything less than two Black seats is theft. They have already begun taking seats of power from us, so we need to begin the work of taking seats from them.
If you agree with me, use your voice. Start showing up. Tell your friends whatโs happening. Make it a priority.
This isnโt a drill. We arenโt being alarmist. The shit has hit the fan, and itโs on us now. Click the link in my bio to support Civics for the People. We arenโt just going to talk about it โ weโre going to educate, organize, and mobilize the people.
Donโt ever get it twisted: nobody takes anything from you that isnโt valuable.

When they talk about how "things were so much better back in the day," this is what they're referring to. The USA has a dark history that MAGA is trying to whitewash. Look at the supposed Christians pray in this video. It's the same exact BS you're seeing today.
In 1803, 75 Igbos from Nigeria ๐ณ๐ฌ chose to drown in the Ocean over being sold into slavery.
According to history, The Igbo slaves were said to be a rebellious breed. They preferred to die free, than to be bond in chains . โ๏ธ๐ญ๐ญ
The 13th Warrior (1999) was panned on release, but itโs aged into a mythic cult favorite. Actually it was famously reworked after test screenings, with McTiernan brought in to reshoot & re-edit large portions & Jerry Goldsmith replacing the original score
Any boy who grows up with married, supportive parents, a father who hugs & kisses him, a mother who hugs & kisses him, etc., will become a young man who will do great things. The juvenile & prison systems are full of boys & men who did not have what youโre seeing in this video.
