The rush to silence Black voters ahead of the 2026 election is stone cold racism.

It's Jim Crow 2.0.

@TeamYouTube My video was classified under “promoting violence,” but the footage is contextual, historical (documentary / social commentary). Can you please submit for human review? https://t.co/K8ZysdPGqg

[Neycha @neycha]

@TeamYouTube Am i speaking with a human? I completed the policy training. I'm not inquiring abt appeal process. I appealed it & in less than 5 minutes, it was rejected by AI, again. Like others, I asked to please have a human review the vid incorrectly flagged

[Neycha @neycha]

@TeamYouTube My video was taken down and flagged incorrectly for "promoting violence". The imagery in question does not "promote violence". It is social commentary, Artistic, Documentary protected under YT's EDSA. Requesting actual human review. Link: https://t.co/RfFZ8G1LVK

Alan Leeds reacts to D'Angelo's death:

"I’m utterly heartbroken. Grieving is such a self-absorbed process. But this time it’s not just about losing someone who was part of my life. This one is about losing the link between the music I grew up with in the 1960’s and the music that looms fresh today. Against the grain of bland modern r&b, D’Angelo preserved the Gospel essence of early soul music, mixing it with every other genre of Black music without ever leaving the church. I don’t care what the lyrics said, I don’t care what the song was about, I ALWAYS heard the church in there! He couldn’t help it. He didn’t have to think about it. It just willfully flowed through whatever he did in a recording studio or on stage. After one of our shows, you FELT like you’d been to church. Good church!

There are those who were puzzled by his slight body of released work. But D’s posse of fellow artists and friends knew he was way more prolific than his three albums suggest. His music was personal. It was just what he did. He was not a pop star, he was an ARTIST. His three albums had more substance, versatility and influence than any artist with a whole record store full of music!

It didn’t escape D that the irony of his break-through was the controversial, sexy video clip for “Untitled (How Does It Feel)”. He got a kick out of shooting the clip and stood by it as a marketing tool. But when excited audiences began shouting for him to “take it off”, he nearly cancelled an entire tour! “Hey Pops, they thinkin’ we some kind of Chippendales s--t up here?” he asked me.

D’Angelo was about the music but Michael Archer had little taste for the BUSINESS of music. Even at the risk of his career, he refused making decisions based on the bottom line. He was convinced that every step towards the music business was a step away from his artistic integrity. A balance between the two was daunting to navigate. D once described it to Malcolm Kee, his forever loyal sergeant-at-arms, as trying to spin a basketball on a finger while riding a roller coaster. (How’s THAT for a metaphor?).

Sure D had his demons. Don’t we all? There’s no school teaching artists how to handle success. But none of that defines him. Maybe he’s not even defined by the three albums he left us. I think he’s defined by the thousands of young artists and musicians who he exposed to all the music of the Black diaspora and how artistic integrity can bring all the genres together.
But to Hell with all that now. I told you grief was selfish. I’m grateful we had the chance to say goodbye. But I’m still broken hearted. I miss Mike."

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

A genius creative has returned to the Creator.

We will miss you, D’Angelo.

But music is such a powerful part of our lives that your artistry will remain in our atmosphere.

Thank you. 👏🏾

NBA legend Alonzo Mourning built a 37 million dollar senior living complex in Florida, called Astoria on 9th. It has 120 apartments, with one and two bedroom homes that are between 635 and 900 square feet.

Rent is only 322 dollars for those with very low income, and even the highest rent is around 1316 dollars, which is still much less than most places in Florida. To qualify, seniors must be 55 or older and have an income below certain levels, so it is made for people who really need affordable housing.

The community is not just about cheap rent. It has a cyber café with internet and a kitchen, a gym for exercise, a clubhouse where people can gather, and even a dog park for pets. Everything was designed to look modern and welcoming, just like expensive apartments, so that seniors feel proud of where they live.

This project gives seniors a safe and beautiful home at a price they can afford. Alonzo Mourning showed all rich people what giving back really looks like, building something that changes lives in a real and lasting way.

Dear MAGA,

Threatening to “arrest” Barack Obama doesn’t make Trump’s ties to Epstein go away.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
