I want to congratulate Howard University on winning their first ever NCAA tournament game defeating UMBC 86-83 and advancing to play Michigan! Great job Bison players, Coach Kenneth Blakeney and my long time friend - Athletic Director Kery Davis!
I’m voting for Kamala Harris because when Donald Trump was President, he appointed Jeff Sessions as Attorney General and he released multiple police departments from consent decrees and cut the number of civil rights cases in the DOJ by 60%. That’s what he did for Black men.
My friend @JPosnanski asked me to write something reflecting on the 2024 @Royals season, but it seemed hard to capture without writing about what it means to be from KC right now, so I wrote about “The New Confidence of Kansas City.” Please enjoy. https://t.co/Td1qsCzhFN
Today @KamalaHarris released an agenda for black men. We’ve talked about having candidates listen to our needs and concerns, and she has.
1. Providing 1 million loans that are fully forgivable to Black entrepreneurs and others to start a business.
2. Championing education, training, and mentorship programs that help Black men get good-paying jobs in high-demand industries and lead their communities, including pathways to become teachers.
3. Supporting a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency and other digital assets so Black men who invest in and own these assets are protected.
4. Launching a National Health Equity Initiative focused on Black Men that addresses sickle cell disease, diabetes, mental health, prostate cancer, and other health challenges that disproportionately impact them.
5. Legalizing recreational marijuana and creating opportunities for Black Americans to succeed in this new industry.
When we vote, we win.

Three years ago today, Operation Bella came to fruition. A fake wedding saved the lives of close to 400 Afghans on the run from the Taliban. https://t.co/2X4VZtr8OB
I spent most of today on the phone with Missouri's political leaders, asking them to encourage Gov. Parsons to grant clemency to Marcellus Williams.
Our efforts were unsuccessful.
Rest in power to Marcellus Williams, an innocent man, victim of a state sanctioned murder.
