I was pepper sprayed and hit with a baton tonight. I’d do it all again. This country will not make my brothers a hashtag. It will not take anyone I love from me.
Things most Americans agree on:
Groceries cost too much.
Tariffs suck and make no sense.
Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks.
The debt is a mess.
The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good.
Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained.
Americans are exhausted.
AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you.
Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF.
Canadians are super fucking cool.
Mexicans are chill.
Putin isn’t a good guy looking out for America’s best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies.
Good neighbors are a blessing.
Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea.
We all question, are we alone in the universe?
We all fuck up along the way.
Epstein didn’t hang himself.
The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. It’s like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day.
The Cowboys suck. Go Birds!
Things we’re told to fight about:
Me.
Laptop.
Vaccines.
Transgenders in sports.
Pronouns.
That’s the joke.
I know times feel dark right now.
But now is not the time to give in to despair.
Do not let cynical forces convince you that they have already won.
The arc of history is long, but it bends towards justice.
Over 4,000 young Americans are alive today who might not be — because of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline we built together.
The grief of losing a child is something that no parent should ever have to know.
We launched 988 in 2022. We invested in it. We fought for it. And now the data is in: an 11% drop in youth suicide. Thousands of kids who picked up the phone instead of giving up.
In my view, that’s what government is supposed to do.
Justin Fairfax murdered his wife Cerina in their home, then killed himself and left their kids to pick up the pieces.
As Black men, we need to be clear in moments like this: nothing is worth killing a Black woman. Nothing.
Pain is real. Divorce is real. Depression is real. Rage is real. But none of it justifies violence against a woman. Too many Black women carry the weight of loving men who haven’t healed. Too many children are left to pick up trauma they didn’t create.
A man who cannot control his anger is dangerous. And too often, the people closest to him pay the highest price.
We don’t want excuses when others kill us. We shouldn’t make excuses when Black men kill Black women either. Accountability must be consistent. Protection must be intentional. Healing must be a priority.
I grieve for Cerina, her children, and everyone who loved her.
And I want Black men to hear this plainly: If you harm a woman, that is not manhood. Get help before you become harm.

Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice. Justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love. ~ MLK Jr. “Where Do We Go From Here”
BREAKING: New polling from @TonyFabrizioGOP@FabrizioWard commissioned by @REFORM shows unprecedented support for federal supervision reform among voters nationwide. 79% of Americans support the Safer Supervision Act including 79% of Trump voters. 🧵
✅ 79% of voters back the Safer Supervision Act.
New national polling data from @FabrizioWard proves what we already know. Americans across the political spectrum agree that it's time to fix federal supervision.
Supervision should be about safety, stability, and second chances, not keeping people trapped in the system.

#SaferSupervisionAct
It broke my heart to read that people on supervision are so terrified of making a minor mistake that they won't even leave their house. But this new poll gives me so much hope: 79% of Americans agree we can do better with the #SaferSupervisionAct
After people have served their time, our system should lift them up, not drag them down. @KimKardashian agrees, it’s time to pass my Safer Supervision Act.
🇺🇸The Safer Supervision Act strengthens public safety by focusing resources where they matter most—helping people on supervision succeed while allowing officers to concentrate on those at higher risk. As a former probation and parole officer, I’ve seen firsthand that accountability and redemption can work hand in hand. This bill reflects that balance, advancing a smarter, fairer, and more hopeful approach to justice. @REFORM
