This matrix of money and survival can pull you so far out of your natural rhythm — out of ease, presence, and regulation. It can make you feel like you have to constantly produce just to feel secure. Remember to slow it down and get some free medicine in nature.

📣 Bill 26-0028 — ERASE Solitary Confinement Act of 2025
This is our fight. Our people. Our justice.

Black and Latino residents make up over 90% of the DC Jail population, and we are the ones most harmed by solitary confinement. Nationally, Black people are 6 times more likely to be placed in solitary. Latino people also face disproportionate isolation, with rates far higher than their share of the jail population. In DC, Black women experience some of the longest and most traumatic periods of solitary confinement.

Solitary doesn’t rehabilitate — it breaks people down. Even a few days can cause severe anxiety, paranoia, hallucinations, PTSD, and suicidal thoughts. Nearly 50% of all jail suicides happen in solitary, even though only a small number of people are held there. The American Public Health Association has declared solitary a public health crisis.

Solitary units are more violent, less stable, and more expensive to operate than regular housing — with zero evidence they make anyone safer. What they do is send people back home more traumatized, less stable, and more disconnected from community and family.

Ending solitary confinement is a step toward real safety, racial justice, and true rehabilitation. Black and Latino DC deserve a justice system rooted in dignity, not torture.

📨 Tell the DC Council to hold a public hearing now:

Submitted written testimony to the D.C. Council on the juvenile curfew proposal—urging that enforcement must be supported with youth programs, mentorship, and family engagement. Safety starts with support. #ANC8B01 #DCYouth #PublicSafety

Comparison is like judging a sunrise by a sunset—each is beautiful in its own way, but meant to unfold in different times and ways. You won’t rise at the same time as someone else. But your time is coming. It’s only a matter of time.

[Salim Adofo @salimadofo]

Solitary confinement isn’t justice, it’s harm. It breaks people mentally, physically & spiritually. Nearly 1/2 of all jail suicides happen in isolation. DC, it’s time to lead with compassion. Urge Council to pass the #ERASEAct now! ✊🏾 Send a letter here: https://t.co/qPUk7nCTkV #KeepWard8Affordable

May ancestral guidance and protection cover you in every room you enter and every space you inhabit.

[Ms. Lauryn Hill @MsLaurynHill]

People need reflection.

I regret not having more time with you. Your undeniable beauty and talent were not of this world, and a presence not of this world needs protection in a world that covets light and the anointing of God. You sir, moved us, stirred us, inspired and even intimidated others to action with your genius. Thank you for being a beacon of light to a generation and beyond who had no remembrance of the legacy that preceded us. Thank you for charting the course and for making space during a time when no similar space really existed.
You imaged a unity of strength and sensitivity in Black manhood to a generation that only saw itself as having to be one or the other. It is my earnest prayer that you are in peace, far away from selfishness, fear and/or controlling interests. Far from possessiveness, far from greed, far from manipulation, far from exploitation, far from intentionally designed chaos and that you Brother are in peace, in bliss and in eternal light and fulfillment with our Father in heaven. I Love you and I miss you. May God grant peace and shelter to your family, true friends and genuine appreciators, Brother, King.

Residents at 3639 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave SE are living in unsafe and unacceptable conditions:

❌ Missing fire alarm on the 2nd floor

❌ Sofa blocking hallway — serious fire hazard

❌ Broken windows & mailboxes

❌ Trash piled inside & in the backyard

I’ve filed an inspection request (Ref #25ENF-HOUS-12162) and shared photos of the violations.

I reached out to the Department of Buildings Director, Mr. Hanlon and an inspection is scheduled for Tuesday September 9th.

We must act urgently to hold the property owner accountable and ensure residents live in safe, dignified housing.

Ward 8 deserves better. 🏠✊
