Just a kid from DC trying to make sense of the world around him 🖤

At least one in four of all the people who have played in the NFL might expect to end up with CTE, according to new data https://t.co/ZCeOWI3bjY

@tomsherwood Worse. I already feel unwelcome by a lot of taxi drivers as soon as I enter the car…presumably from race/age based assumptions of me. Then you’d be surprised by how many times I’ve had to direct them on where to go or even use my own phone for navigation. Much prefer uber/lyft

I really really really don’t like this Black v Latino storyline in season 7 of West Wing. Simplistic and unnecessary

[Mark Jackson Jr @Mjax21]

Just went to my first Washington Spirit game. I’m hooked. Trinity Rodman may be my favorite professional athlete playing in DC right now. 😊

[Mark Jackson Jr @Mjax21]

Wow. I have such a profound respect for Black elders given the unimaginable and often involuntary sacrifices made. But damn does this kind of logic make me wanna pull my hair out. The generational divide along with protection of class interests is so real.

Q: Jim Clyburn’s takeaway from the 2024 presidential election?

With daily life getting more expensive for working-class people, why are sports owners still being handed subsidies for publicly-funded stadiums?

Best 4th of July speech since Frederick Douglass?

“How small they are. How weak. How unoriginal… division is the oldest trick in politics.”

Zohran rings in America’s birthday by reminding us our story is one of welcoming immigrants, not excluding everyone who doesn’t look like us. 🇺🇸

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

More than 200,000 Black New Yorkers have been forced out of our City over the last two decades because of skyrocketing costs. Behind rent, child care is the largest expense families face in New York City. That's why we're making universal child care a reality.

Families have until this Friday, June 26, to apply for a 2-K seat this fall at https://t.co/UkFHfq2yRA.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. https://t.co/DgkM9RegJ7
