Trump directed every homeless encampment to be cleared that he might see on the way to Kennedy Center. *NO NOTICE* to residents. This isn't about helping people who are homeless. This isn't about crime. This is about not wanting to LOOK at poor people. https://t.co/eQ9Vw14wtQ

DC is the proud birthplace of Go-Go music and I was thrilled to be part of the grand opening for the official Go-Go Museum and Cafe in Anacostia! 🎶
Congratulations and thank you to Ronald Moten and Natalie Hopkinson for your vision and execution on creating a space we can be in community, learn about Go-Go's history, and celebrate its future.
@Jderbyshire You should come check it out when you are in DC! We do have some artifacts from the brief go-go craze in London. Li'l Benny from when he was on the cover of a short-lived magazine. Also, a scrapbook from when Trouble Funk was on tour there....
“We have aimed to disrupt stubborn racial hierarchies that have determined who is invited into the halls of power and who is free to party in the streets of DC,” says American University professor Natalie Hopkinson

#GoGoMuseum in #DC opening weekend. Definitely check it out! The team turned 3,000 sq ft of space into an incredibly interactive space. It also meant they had to use every inch, including the bathrooms. @DCNewsNow@NatHopkinson@MotenSpeaks@mattsonsalla

New: Texas’ governor has served 404 Media with a subpoena for info about an internal Google database we were leaked. This is a serious threat to press freedom and we are fighting it legally. We object.

Listened to the @PodSaveAmerica bros interview the Kamala campaign team and it was....somewhere between disappointing and enraging. I would not hire these guys if I was running the next D campaign.
After an 11-week miscarriage, Porsha Ngumezi bled so much that she needed 2 transfusions. She was anxious to get home to her young sons.
She needed a D&C to stop the bleeding, but hospital refused. Her heart stopped a few hours later.

“It’s like modern-day slavery. Because it’s cheap labor,” says Nerima Wako-Ojiwa, a Kenyan civil rights activist. Big American tech companies advertise AI jobs as a ticket to the future, but she calls the workspaces AI sweatshops. https://t.co/iQTFVvTwUn
