This peanut gallery of a society is not ready nor capable to hear from Black men about the tragedy that took place in Virginia. I will hold the Fairfax children and their family in my prayers & commit myself to convening Black men to do the work needed in this moment.

I helped run the machine. I know where the money goes. It’s not hidden. It’s on FEC.gov. Public record. Anyone can see it. We just stopped looking. Here’s what I found when I did. 🧵 youtu.be/7BeeZJtiqaU?si…

Wes Moore needs to be on everyone’s shortlist, should he throw his hat in the ring for 2028. “Any of these people who are thinking about 2028, I need to see that you’re taking 2026 seriously… What are you doing right now to protect, to heal, and to build?” “I’m hungry, but I’m not thirsty.” 🔥
