“The most important point of this hearing is, let me be very clear: Today, we are not voting on who the next Secretary of Labor is. The next Secretary of Labor, the next Secretary of Education, the next Secretary of Housing, the next Secretary of the Treasury is Elon Musk.”

Amen.
Good morning, Blue Sky.
Being resilient is easier when you're surrounded by the right people.
Build communities that make you smarter and tougher for the battles ahead.
Never give up hope. Never stop fighting for what is right. And just.
Whatever comes our way, we will face it together.

When elitist pundits claim "No one saw it coming", all that shows is who they consider to be no one.
Never let them tell you who you are or what you're worth.

Here is my latest essay about anti-Haitianism, which is a rejection of revolutionary Blackness and Black humanity.
Anti-Haitianism: A Hemispheric Rejection of Revolutionary Blackness
