My UBER driver in Baltimore told me he just got out of an ICE facility, that he spent 8 days in Washington and 51 days in a facility in Arizona. His wife reported him missing, cops had no idea ICE had taken him. He said, “She thought I was dead.” He’s an American citizen. Took them that long to realize it. This is just one guy. There’s thousands...

Happy birthday to Capital Steez, who would have been 33 today.⁠ ⁠

Steez founded Pro Era with producer Powers Pleasant, coming up with the idea on the way home from one of his early Brooklyn shows. Joey Bada$$ and CJ Fly rounded out the group's founding core shortly after. His freestyles were always dense with wordplay, even when he was clearly just riffing off the top of his head.⁠ ⁠

RIP Capital Steez 🕊️

Bravery is an understatement. Inspired.

Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben & Jerry's, was arrested after confronting Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about Gaza during a hearing on Capitol Hill: “Congress sent the bombs that kill children in Gaza and paid for them with cuts to Medicaid,” he shouted before his arrest.

Capital STEEZ’s demise is one of the biggest what ifs. Picture a collab album with Chuck Strangers. Imagine STEEZ working with Alc, Navy Blue, Fly Anakin, Earl, Pink Siifu, Quelle Chris, Cavalier, billy woods, Boldy James etc

Is it a stretch to call this one of the best rap features ever? It’s absolute insane poetry

This being your first song ever made is crazy, imagine storytelling this good at 15😭. Forever would respect Cole as an artiste & most especially a rapper.

The unc who went viral a few weeks ago protesting in Minnesota is back: "5 shots they put into that man's body. And how do you look me in the eye and tell me you can justify this? I'm a veteran. I swore an oath back in 1969 to protect this country against all enemies foreign and domestic. This is unbelievable."

[Isaiah Thomas @isaiahthomas]

6 guys beating the shit outta ONE person then KILLING him!! Fuck the ICE agents. 6 against one and yall still shoot and kill somebody. Yall had him out numbered and decided to KILL him like it was a video game and he can just he his life back smh

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Jasmine Crockett: “A woman was killed. She was shot in her head and yall are pretending like nothing happened. Is it okay because you have a badge? Can yall not just have a little bit of courage and humanity? A child has lost her mom and yall want to pretend that it is okay. You tell us things like well the immigrants are bad. The Mayor of Minneapolis told yall to get the fuck out. It is this administration that is bringing crime to their streets.“

13 years ago today, we lost Capital STEEZ.

“Free The Robots” still gives me chills. I remember blasting this every Halloween night because how menacing the beat was.

I hope MF DOOM was able to witness one of his greatest babies. All Caps when you spell their names
