In America today there is an effort to erase Black history. Revisionist history seeks to eliminate the murderous violence against our community and denigrate Black achievement. Our community is under attack. We need to defend our humanity!

Today we honor the man who exemplified the best of the American aesthetic and values: in spirit, philosophy, and deeds. A profound leader of a movement that changed our country and the world. A man of faith whose humanity gave evidence of the divine.

President Trump takes office at 12 noon. A convicted felon who led a violent insurrection to overthrow the American government where law enforcement was attacked and people lost their lives. He will immediately pardon many who were convicted of crimes on January 6th.

20 years ago insurance companies committed a historic crime not honoring homeowners insurance policies in New Orleans after Katrina. In Los Angeles the pattern may be repeated. It already started. Before fire season a major insurer canceled fire policies even after collecting years of high premiums.

I’m in Los Angeles in the middle of disaster. It feels the same way it did 20 years ago in New Orleans.The lesson learned from back then & today: love those around you and create loving memories. They will sustain you in difficult times.Tragedy is defined by how you respond to it.

It’s interesting that people can support the assassination of the healthcare CEO and allow murder to become valid conflict resolution, but are unable to organize the level of advocacy needed to get Universal Healthcare or Medicare For All that would mitigate the crisis millions are raging against.

We have lost an iconoclastic poet and activist, Nikki Giovanni. Her poem Nikki Rosa speaks to the depths of Black love. It speaks to the soul of my inner child. She is the epitome of the Black Arts Movement of the late 20th Century. “ Black love is Black Wealth”

The Consumer Protection Bureau (CPFB) that oversees financing protocols that protects consumers and the government from fraud and unfair practices of usury is one the first things to be eliminated by Elon Musk. Now his government contracts won’t be scrutinized or regulated. Grift.
Elon Musk called Wednesday for the elimination of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, one of the nation’s most powerful watchdog agencies, signaling it could be scrapped as part of a planned review of government spending ordered by President-elect Donald Trump.
