One of the most beautiful voices in jazz has been silenced. I have known Cassandra Wilson for over 40 years from her early days in New Orleans before we both journeyed to NY. A innovative and creative woman with great musical power. A heartbreaking loss.

Mental health, stress, and unresolved trauma are key drivers behind domestic violence. If we’re serious about protecting Black women, we have to confront what’s happening in the mind before it turns deadly. https://t.co/OYc8nprRQA #DomesticViolence #RolandMartinUnfiltered

Congratulations to Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler on your Oscars for Sinners! From Fruitvale Station to Black Panther, it has been a privilege to witness and be part of this journey with you both. Your storytelling continues to move cinema forward.

Fact check:

The total for meals was actually $801,000, not $1 million.

That total is for all home games over three years, AND includes money spent for meals outside of Ravens games, including office parties, events and even funerals.

The money was spent only at local restaurants.

Mayor Scott has reduced crime in Baltimore by 60%.

Give the man his damn crab legs and stop lying on him.

They say Donald Trump is not racist. But every opportunity he gets, he fired important Black people in the government.. and replaced them with the white man. over 350,000 black women lost their jobs in the name of Donald Trump DEI war. You cannot get any condemnation and pushback from Tariq and the FBA movement. they are Trump supporters..

So Gainesville Middle School is okay with white students being racist towards Black students. FAFO! Let’s make this piece of ish school go viral.

[Gary Chambers @GaryChambersJr]

I just want us to live in reality.

Are all white voters opposed to Black leadership? No.
Do many white voters want a certain type of Black leader? Absolutely. And that type is usually watered down, white-washed, and made palatable for comfort.

That strategy consistently turns off a large portion of the Democratic base.

Elections aren’t about feelings. They’re about numbers.
So spare me the opinions about @jasmineforus and @jamestalarico.

If the record shows that heavily funding and running “less polarizing” candidates keeps producing losses, then maybe — just maybe — it’s time to try something different.

I’ve run for the U.S. Senate. I’m not guessing when I say this: putting real resources behind candidates who actually engage Black and Brown voters is the path. A new version of the same old strategy keeps losing.

They tried Beto. They tried Collin. Neither was considered “polarizing.” Both lost.
So don’t tell me what can’t win.

The most polarizing man on the planet is president right now. America elects polarizing candidates all the time. Audacity wins when it’s funded.

What I’m asking is simple: stop ignoring Black voters in the South.

If you have one million Black voters on the table and you’re 200,000 votes short, your odds of winning increase by engaging those Black voters — not chasing white ones who have already shown you who they are.

That’s not ideology. That’s math.

I’m glad people are debating this openly, because we need to clean it up if we actually want to pick up Senate seats. The South is the pathway — and Black voters are the Democratic base in the South.

@AshNoelleTV That’s a team destined to fail. How in the hell do you keep him? He says qb is 1st priority as opposed to a coach while having 4 or 5 qbs already which is an indication that he’s not good at choosing one. That team needs a coach plain and simple.

[Captain Mark Kelly @CaptMarkKelly]

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that.

My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head– all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. Generations of servicemembers have made these same patriotic sacrifices for this country, earning the respect, appreciation, and rank they deserve.

Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that.

If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.

@MetalPeacock82 @treyprint Me too, he must’ve left some of the other stuff out. I’m not believing it costs that much for one bed

Media would have you believe Venezuelans are celebrating Trump’s invasion when the truth is Venezuelans are angry and protesting Trump aggressive violation of their sovereignty.

[Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams]

Nicolás Maduro is a brutal dictator who has caused immense suffering. However, the way to fight authoritarianism abroad is not to embrace it at home.

Foreign policy is not the personal domain of a president. Congress has a constitutional role to serve as the voice of the people and a restraint on power. One of the oldest moves in the authoritarian playbook is to sideline the legislature and strip away checks and balances. That’s Step Three in the autocrat's playbook.

In our democracy, actions of this magnitude and decisions about what happens next, must go through Congress - not be dictated by a president who admires authoritarians and rules like one.

The White House is confirming U.S. military operations in Venezuela tonight. Let us be clear: these strikes are illegal. The President does not have the authority to declare war or undertake large-scale military operations without Congress. Congress must act to rein him in. Immediately.
