10 years ago today Police took Dylan Roof to Burger King after he killed 9 Black people in church.

This week Police killed 1-year-old Black child named Kohen Wiley on the lie that his mother stole diapers.

A 1 year old Black baby is more threatening to police than an armed white supremacist who just mass murdered 9 Black people.

Black people have absolutely every right to be angry with the world.

Because he raped and murdered his step-sister a judge ruled Hudson would be in custody but change mind he could go home. Case for a forcible rape is beyond clear and convincing and suggests a level of psychopathy and lack of remorse that by itself [Hudson] can snap at any time

From Donald Trump got into officer the second time around he started targeting black business and corporation. Firing thousands of black men and women from the federal government.. fortune private corporation to get rid of black men and women in the name of DEI. Erasing African-American history.. and then they say Trump is not racist.

Imagine killing a baby because you assumed the mother stole a pack of diapers, only to learn she paid for them. How do you justify that level of anti-Blackness? This is what happens when suspicion is weaponized against Black people.

I've been holding off posting about this.

Just tired y'all. I have an 11 year old grandson and a nine-month-old grandbaby.

So on top of being worried about my daughters. Being worried about my son.

Being worried about my grandson. I now have to be worried about my grandbaby.

You can't explain to a baby about police brutality. You don't give a baby “The Talk” Black parents have to give to their children.

Police are out of control. This week cops shot a two-year-old Bernedoodle named Jameson; and now they kill a one year old baby.

I'm gonna call it a night. I pray for the family and Black families everywhere mourning this loss as I am.

Police killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley on the false claim his mother stole diapers. His killer is on paid leave & his ID is hidden.

Police killed 7-year-old Aiyana Jones as she slept in her living room. Her murderer Joseph Weekley walked free.

Police killed 11-year-old Tamir Rice as he played in a park. HIs murderer Timothy Loehmann walked free.

America's carceral system treats Black children like chattel because the system isn't broken—it's working exactly as intended. And that's the problem.

A century ago, Black physicians built hospitals, clinics and medical schools across the South – only to see them dismantled. https://t.co/Vf8YA9sj4W

Teach them early about who we are. Spare them the web of lies we faced growing up.

[Rep. Shontel Brown @RepShontelBrown]

The Trump FBI conducted a massive raid targeting a voter registration group in NE Ohio. The FBI used hundreds of agents, in an election year, even going to people’s homes.

Voting is a constitutional right – so we need answers. I’m demanding details from the FBI.

It should be bigger news that Jeffrey Epstein’s billionaire associate, who is contracted to build Trump’s mass surveillance state, is hosting a secretive retreat with other oligarchs to discuss cult-building, World War 3-prepping, and get sex tips.

Epstein Island never ended.

My friend Jamie Raskin is one of the most careful and principled people in Congress. So when he says the director of the FBI may be running a taxpayer funded slush fund, I pay attention.

Here is what he found.

Kash Patel directed more than $1 million in bonus payments to a small circle of agents in his inner circle and on his security detail.

Some were getting nearly $8,000 every two weeks on top of salaries that were already maxed out at the federal ceiling. A number of them collected close to $40,000 over consecutive pay periods.

The payments came so fast that the FBI’s bonus reserve accounts ran dry and some checks bounced.

So who got the money?

Agents on Patel’s so-called "director’s advisory team."

That is the unit created in 2025 and described internally as a payback squad, built to dig up dirt on the law enforcement officials who investigated Trump and his allies.

Raskin has given Patel until June 29 to account for every payment, every recipient, and any internal review of whether this was even legal.

Patel should answer for all of it.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

History books say ‘slaves were brought to America’ but no one ever asked the free Africans if they wanted to leave their homeland. They were stolen, shackled, crammed head-to-toe in slave ships, traded for goods or sold.

Police have in custody the suspect who burned a cross in Chicago. The subject has identified himself as a UIC senior named Merlin Lu

This is anti Black hate and needs to be taken seriously! He shouldn’t be charged with anything less than a hate crime
