@BreakingBrown Happy Birthday, have a good time. You are appreciated!

Baby YC. This life is amazing. And it passes fast. Do something meaningful with it.

Jim Crow 2026 - Black Americans are expected to: -Have 0 ICE agents -0 Military members -0 Cops -Vote Democrat at 110% rates -Have 0 political causes of our own -Support open borders -Worship Africa -Never attend elite universities What else did I miss?

Immigration does not benefit Black Americans.

Young people really should hate everybody. Imagine Silent Gen & Boomers gaming & looting the system for themselves, but you’re the one getting mocked for taking a job in law enforcement? In an era where AI is eliminating jobs?

@Black_Action This is crazy

The timing of the Jay Z and Usher interviews makes a bit more sense now. 🤔

@VirginiaB31898 @EpiAkonde They do. Brain drain is a huge problem. The Nigerian president has called for his people to return home to help. I can't find the exact thread, but many expats laughed at his suggestion. x.com/NigeriaStories…

@EpiAkonde DOES NIGERIA NOT NEED PHDs? He needs to go to his homeland and improve it.

I just got off the phone with my Nigerian friend. The consequences of the Visa ban imposed under President Trump are far more reaching than I initially thought. In total, 75 countries are facing some ban of some shape or form with 19 full ban. Out of the 75, 25 are African countries of which Nigeria is one. Now my friend just finished his PhD and under the “normal” dispensation could apply for optional practical training (OPT) and get it approved within 3 months which allow him to stay and work for 1 year and could be extended for additional 2 years because he is in a stem field. Under the current visa ban, he cannot get his OPT processed within 3 months. He is on an indefinite wait and without the OPT, he cannot work. So he either leaves the country and forfeit the OPT or stay without job. That’s the hardest point you can be in the US where you don’t get a pause on bills or a friend or family to borrow money to hold body. And just thinking through this, I find that many internationals may be in a similar or worse situation. For medical doctors who came on J1 or H1B, you’re expected to transition into permanent residency after your training. J1 and H1B only commits you to your facility of training for the period of the training especially for the J1. Now after 3 years in residency, if you’re from an affected country, you cannot be processed for any other immigration benefits. The is worse because if you did not start the permanent residency application and gotten the first part approved before the executive order, there is no where to turn; not even the indefinite wait. So you will have to leave the US within 60 days on completing your residency This is such a tragedy for everyone including some of the US industries such as the healthcare sector that will be losing thousands of the US trained physicians. I see most of these physicians moving to Canada, Australia or New Zealand where they would not be required to take further testing before practicing. But that in itself will take them months if not years to apply for appropriate immigration benefits. To what end….?

@Behembaba 😂🤣😂

@FilmThePoliceLA She probably made a lot of people rich. It’s the same elsewhere: grifters and developers hide behind shell LLCs and cash out. The system is 🗑️.

Your homelessness program has been an absolute failure. Spending $323M and only permanently housing 1,431 is pathetic.

@quantumblackne2 I saw that too. Crazy

there are "leftists" (and others) that never acknowledged #ADOS demands and advocacy for reparations. but now they are acknowledging & discussing reparations ... FOR IRAN!

@inezalbright2 I'm saying. Don't have a job or home to give us, but we can't be gainfully employed and feed our families. Why? Just crazy talk.

From the same folks who claim that there are not enough opportunities for Blacks. SMH

#NowReading. I don’t buy books often because I’d be buried in them. The waitlist was long for this one, but worth it. Support your local library. @dcpl

@yemisi Most DC landlords are institutional landlords and developers hiding behind shell LLCs. Especially in Wards 7/8.

Are you kidding me?! This is exactly what you get from a DSA-style candidate. Defending squatters while painting every landlord like Jeff Bezos. In reality, a lot of these landlords are everyday DC residents relying on rental income to stay afloat.

@IamWhaffle Are you hiring? Black unemployment is 7.7%, and rent and gas prices are rising. I'm glad they're working and can support and feed their families. Leave folks alone.

@IAmShannonAli You hiring? Absolutely nothing wrong with working for ICE. If you want reforms contact your local politicians.

Being a Black ice agent is really out of pocket. Like people really do anything for money.

@missmayn 🎯

the reason mark zuckerberg is spending $200 million lobbying for digital IDs and ‘age verification’ is because meta’s entire revenue basis is selling ads and businesses have finally realized they’re paying lots and lots of money for their shit to be viewed by bots.

I hate all the politicians who let this happen. A Black CEO came in and sat at that prayer breakfast, promising jobs for qualified Ward 7/8 residents and improved quality healthcare, but neither promise was kept. Now he, high-level execs, and staff are gone, and the whole system seems to be collapsing.

@ETClair1 @BreakingBrown Wrong. Tons of examples and research on this going back decades. A.I. is not responsible for the rapid decline of tech jobs. H1Bs and similar work visas are. x.com/NonHumanMedia1…

@BreakingBrown Immigrants are scapegoated but they ain't got shit to do with the economic instability we have and divestment from economy, de-funding of America by Nazi Racist regime, or the threat of A.I. coming for every white collar job there is.

And Democrats’ refusal to budge on immigration paved the way for Trump both times. Anyone who didn’t adopt an open borders stance was immediately branded a xenophobe. That was a lie. And that lie radicalized a significant portion of the electorate.

@BreakingBrown Thank you! I agree 100%

@_maximumpink Nothing piecemeal works at this juncture. This country is too far gone. Everything is broken, from housing to health care to incarceration. Anything short of complete overhaul is a failure.
