I'm releasing California's statewide plan for economic growth plus $245M in investments to create more jobs and support LA’s ongoing recovery.

I am very angry and don’t understand why everyone else isn’t. Do you not see it? Or just not care?
Believe me, I understand that my activism is a problem for you. Please know that your inactivism is similarly problematic for me.

It's part of the reason I am as angry as I am.

Kendrick Lamar just showed everyone how it's done. On one of the biggest globally watched stages he called out America, Drake, used Samuel L Jackson as an Uncle Sam allegory, SZA & Serena performing, & showcased that he's not about to back down from using his platform for a network! #SuperBowlLIX
