The LAGOP can deny their motives for removing Calvin Duncan from office all they want, but it’s written across their faces. We have got to remove every one of these white supremacist politicians from our state legislature. Louisiana will never thrive without Black power.

They’re about to erase an elected position in New Orleans and call it efficiency It’s not We send more to the state than we get back If they override voters here today you’re next Pay attention #WeGotWorkToDo

The “Don Lemon Law,” which increases penalties for disturbing the peace in a church, passed the Louisiana House of Representatives this week by a vote of 70–31. Last week I shared that 4 Democrats supported this bill in committee. After your engagement, only one of them — Representative Pat Moore (Monroe) — still voted with Republicans to pass it. Rep. Moore’s contact information is in the video. Let her know what you think about her vote. Shout out to the Democrats who spoke up against this bill — Reps. @edmondjordan, @votelandry, and @tlandryjr. Thank you for standing up for the people of Louisiana who aren’t buying the fear and chaos being pushed. This is real-life Civics for the People. Share if you care 🦾

James Talarico ran up the score in the whitest area of Texas. Meanwhile Harris County — home to a million Black people — only produced 189,000 total Democratic primary votes. Talarico had a strategy to target white and Latino voters and the data shows that’s how he won. Black people have to realize the power we have and maximize it. People don’t want to highlight raw numbers because they cut out the emotion. They paint a clear picture of how we got here. Black communities in the Deep South aren’t being engaged at the level needed to turnout and flip states. That is the core issue with the Democratic Party. If @jamestalarico is going to be successful in the fall he’s going to need to engage Black voters in Texas with the same funding and energy he’s put into Hispanic voters. Beto lost chasing the middle while 900,000 Black voters in Texas stayed home when he ran. I don’t apologize for wanting more Black leadership in America. We elect 80-85 white people to the U.S. Senate every term. I believe if we want something different we have to do something different, we have to send a different type of leader. I’m going live to discuss this further, Black people we have the numbers to shift the landscape. We need a hyper focus on turning our people out. Doing so will increase our power, which unlocks wealth and will benefit the nation as a whole. In God we trust, everybody else bring data! Share if you care 🦾

We have to stop making excuses for people who know they benefit from the way things are. White supremacy is a shared interest among many conservatives. Others simply believed they wouldn’t lose their rights in the process. They didn’t care what happened to you or me — only what happened to people who look like them and to their children. They were comfortable reaping the benefits because they never imagined there would be consequences. Black people must remain truth tellers. Those who came before us refused to let lies stand, and neither should we. Everything isn’t racist — but far more is than many are willing to admit. I joined Jim Engster to talk about the state of our national politics.

Most people don’t live anywhere near the number of chemical plants we do in south Louisiana. In St. James Parish—a majority Black community—there are 12 chemical plants within a 10-mile radius. I joined Ms. Sharon Lavigne in the effort to recall the District 5 councilman because he introduced a resolution supporting a 13th plant: Formosa Plastics—a facility that would add even more toxins to the same area you see in this video. We have to demand more for our communities. Black families who grow crops for themselves can’t even harvest food because the soil and water are poisoned. Just 40 minutes outside of New Orleans, this is the reality for thousands of people. This is the heart of Cancer Alley. I hear progressives talk about the issue we live every day. Make them see where the real work is, the Deep South. Share if you care. 🦾

This was never about democracy. “Drug trafficking” is the excuse. Oil, gold, and control are the reason. Venezuela has the resources. U.S. corporations want access. Same playbook we’ve seen in Libya, Haiti, Iraq, Panama. They strip your rights at home but want you to believe they care about freedom abroad. This system protects rich people and their money. If you’re not rich, your power is with your people.

It’s crazy how almost every artist that turned their back on Drake for Kendrick has a story or more about how Drake helped them and didn’t ask for credit. CRAZY TIMES!

@CoxComm has to be the worst internet service!!! Ana it's crazy because they have a monopoly in the city and there’s damn there nothing we can do about it! 😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬

Steve Stoute always lying when he doesn’t have to!

No fluff, straight talk with Oliver Thomas about his plan. OT is clear about the future of New Orleans: no neighborhood will be an afterthought. New Orleans East, the Lower Nine, and Algiers become engines of growth. Streets get fixed on time and on budget — or that contractor is done. Permits won’t drag on for months the city will have provisional permits, 911 calls will be answered in seconds, and trash pickup will be reliable. He fight to cap utility rates and work with the state to address insurance costs so seniors aren’t pushed out of their homes. That’s what a city that works looks like. Watch the full Backyard Conversation with Oliver Thomas (@otforus) on YouTube — link in bio.

Those of us focused on this work understand that some officials don’t want us all voting. They want the people who agree with them voting. I mentioned on @rolandsmartin that @syritarsteib, @emilewashington, @wcsnowden and I went to St. James Parish to talk with Black folks about their power. It’s not wrong for Black people to want to see our tax dollars working for our communities. When the lack of Black leadership makes that deficit worse, uplifting Black leadership isn’t racist — it’s survival and wisdom. Right now, people from THIS state are trying to dismantle the Voting Rights Act. To act like race isn’t a factor is a lie. If we want a thriving future, we must use our critical mass, and demand real outcomes in return for our support. We pay into a system — and it should pay back into our communities. We are not hopeless or powerless, we are misinformed, uninformed, or disengaged. All of which can be addressed. When people ask what can we do, start talking to people and asking deeper questions to ensure they understand their power.

There are hundreds of white people on Twitter upset that I spend my money with Black businesses. I don’t care. We’ve got to stop letting people gaslight us into thinking racism isn’t real or that group economics isn’t necessary for Black progress. Right now, Black unemployment is up to 7.2%. For Black women, it’s risen from 5.5% to 6.3% since last year. If we’re serious about confronting discrimination, we have to be intentional about supporting each other. That’s not racist — that’s wisdom. There are always a few Black folks who choose to serve white supremacy. Darrell Glasper is one of them. If you call a Black man a “cancer” for standing up for his people, you’re not just out of line — you’re a tool of the very system we’re fighting. We have to call that out as boldly as they attack us. I’m a free Black man, and I act like it. My doctors? Black. Landscaper? Black. HVAC tech? Black. Electrician? Black. Esthetician? Black. Lawyers, tailor, publicist, business manager, print shop, mechanic — all Black. When I host events, I choose Black venues. Because the Black dollar has to build Black economic power. If you’re white in America, you don’t have to try to buy white — it’s the default. So don’t be offended when Black people choose to be intentional about building our own economic future. It’s cool when you do it, it’s a problem when we do it… yall know the rest…

I was disqualified from the District D race not for breaking the law, but for breaking the silence. I’m not out. We’re appealing. This fight is about dark money, political games, and the people’s right to choose. We’re still in this. And we’re not backing down. #Wegotworktodo
