- This remains my favorite Denzel Washington video (a random pull-up on the Southside of Chicago looking for BBQ)
- “People hate me because I’m 19 and think I’m a doe-eyed kid but I’m a political strategist for one of the biggest youth organizations in the country. This was almost like a gift from Matt Gaetz.” Whew.
- 45 today. 🙏🏿 Been rough but we still here. My momma took these 💜
- Dallas now has a Police Chief who is a Black woman, a Sheriff who is a Black woman and a DA who is a Black man replacing a Black woman. Dallas County SHOULD be the most progressive law enforcement county in the country. Now is the time to apply pressure. We need abolitionists.
- I want this job. Hire me to be your personal book curator. I will have your bookshelves lit.Gwyneth Paltrow Hired a Personal Book Curator. Here's What He Chose For Her Shelves. | @townandco pwne.ws/2zdAjE4
- Dallas didn’t invest in the communities you see until Black people were removed from Freedman’s town and Latinx people were displaced from Little Mexico. Both of these communities were combined to form Uptown, and the rest is a new whitewashed gentrification history.
- The vulnerable version of HOV really affected me. Seeing arguably the GOAT rapper kissing his woman's ankles is a paradigm shift. #LEMONADE
- Dora Fontaine is putting her life and career on the line telling the truth about her fellow Chicago Police Department officers. CPD officers are calling her a rat, even though they encourage community members to tell all the time.“It was a lie,” Chicago police officer Dora Fontaine said, referring to a statement that Laquan McDonald “raised his arm as if attacking Officer Jason Van Dyke” before the officer fatally shot the teenager 16 times. bit.ly/2ADFy0b
- It’s the best policy idea in years, besides giving people actual money. Both work & data says so. Giving police more money is the least innovative, least imaginative & least effective strategy a politician has to help people. You can’t stand for Equity & more police. Not possibleIt was also a bad political idea that was supported by real people, many of whom protested outside my house late at night for weeks and showed up at city council meetings demanding I support it. It wasn’t just bad branding. It was a bad policy proposal that I rejected from Day 1.
- “I don’t know...CPS suggest that the entire community of Englewood can go an entire year without access to a high school...What are you saying to the people there?...anybody with a HS kid has to think about what they’re going to do. It’s just a device to empty out the community”Illinois governor candidate Chris Kennedy accuses Mayor Rahm Emanuel of leading "strategic gentrification plan” to force black people out of Chicago trib.in/2CPWYri
- There are communities in Dallas WITHOUT GROCERY STORES.Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson says he’ll propose restoring $10 million in police overtime dallasnews.com/news/politics/…
- Just laughed at the mom of a kid named Chicago.
