This is a pep talk (mostly for me): You are rested and have reset. Now is the time to push harder and go after everything you asked the universe for. If you’re scared, good. Use it. You’re right where you are supposed to be. Trust 👏🏾 the 👏🏾 process 👏🏾 and sing from your soul! Perfection doesn’t exist!

When the Wampanoag first fed the Pilgrims
they didn't realize
they'd just invented Socialism
for undocumented refugee immigrants.
Happy Thanksgiving.

I DONT appreciate that Maxwell’s wasn’t included in this collage. He had one of the most riveting, and charismatic unplugged’s so early in his career. This is also the FIRST time we heard him sing “This Woman’s Work!” #musicsky #rnb #mtvunplugged #maxwell

Phil Knight is almost single handedly funding the OR GOP, one of the more extreme state GOPs in the country. Keep that in mind next time you’re in the market for sportswear or sneakers. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

Finished recording last night, stripped out of my clothes when I got to my Airbnb, ate dinner, attempted to upload the files and crashed. Up at 4:30am, checked out of Airbnb and on a train at 7:30am. I AM TIRED! I cannot wait to climb into my bed!

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

“Centrist” and “Moderate” in American media when applied to Democrats is code for “accepts bribes from corporations” and “cooperates with Republicans to crush progressive policies”.

I’m a Black higher ed lawyer, formerly in-house counsel at Harvard and top expert on Project 2025.
This is Project 2025 in action, dismantling the Department of Education; no Congressional approval, no public comment periods, nothing.
No coming back from this, folks. It didn’t have to be this way.

Music showed me that possibilities are endless, created a space for me to exist and show up in the world. Lastly….it revealed so much to me about my Blackness and the beauty of the imagination and world building.
