I love Haiti and I love Haitians. HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY to Ghana's cousins lol
On Jan 1, 1804, Dessalines declared the independence of Haiti, renaming the country from Saint-Domingue to its original indigenous name, Haiti (Ayiti). Haiti became the 1st independent Black-led nation & the First Nation to abolish slavery entirely & permanently.

They charged Luigi Mangione with terrorism for killing one white man.
But the FBI just corrected the Mayor of New Orleans and tried to embarrass her on national news saying a man who just drove into a crowd w/ a truck loaded with bombs & started shooting is NOT a terrorist.
Fuck this country.

The fact that the FBI didn’t hold a press conference announcing the largest seizure of self-made explosives in history tells you everything you need to know about race and ideology of the suspect. Wanna guess? www.nytimes.com/2024/12/31/u...

So many people who call themselves “tough” are just numbed out, lacking social awareness, and able to dissociate at an expert level. You’re not tough. Your connection to humanity in yourself and others is hanging by a frayed thread. That’s actually extremely fragile.

I'm truly saddened by the news of the passing of my dear friend, guitarist/composer Peter Leitch. I was fortunate to play and record with him, and I will forever cherish the great times. R.I.P. 😔🙏🏿💔🕊

Y'all know that #BlackMusicMonth is a big deal to me, and we owe the national observation in part to Jimmy Carter.
When Kenny Gamble came up with the idea, he called Clarence Avant, who called Pres Carter, and the first BMM celebration was hosted at the Carter White House in 1979.
