Happy 30th Birthday to The Score! Hows that for Black History!!! ❤️🖤💚 Check out my appearance on Hip Hop Now podcast with @vegasworldinc.bsky.social as we discuss this monumental album and seminal year for hip hop, 1996! youtu.be/NiFxkaBFKws?...

As Black History Month begins, we honor the generations of Black New Yorkers who built this city into the “gorgeous mosaic” we call home. Today, we reflect on the words of Mayor David Dinkins: our city’s first Black mayor (and a democratic socialist!).

I got a new piercing, and now I’m mentally well!

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Beyond parody. We have an attorney general who is covering up the Epstein Files and a President who is proud he could identify a giraffe

Carl Carlton, the singer-songwriter best known for hits "Everlasting Love" and "She's a Bad Mama Jama," has died, his son announced

I shouldn’t have to share this article as much as I do. Sending condolences to all friends and family and loved ones from the Brown Shooting today. www.newsweek.com/2025/07/18/f...

The Supreme Court has rejected a call to overturn its landmark decision that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide

And will keep doing it, too! 😂

MSNBC captured the crowd from the Boston "No Kings" rally:

Leadership.

Rite Aid closes all remaining stores after 63 years in business

You died. I cried. And kept on getting up. A little slower. And a lot more deadly. Assata Shakur

I can’t argue with this

Thank you, Assata. God bless your extraordinary life. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 #assatashakur

It’s going to break your heart how many people you know, love, and respect will turn out to be cowards. Prepare yourself as best you can. You are not alone, but you are your own center. Be a strong center.

This is so messed up.

OH MY GOD

TRUTH = DISSENT

Wow… another legend has gone off to glory. Thank you to the one and only Eddie Palmieri. Rest in peace. 🕯️🤍 #BlackSky #JazzSky #EddiePalmieri #LatinJazz #BronxNYC #Salsa

I’m honored to have shared a few words about our dearest and most beloved Roy Hargrove. Many thanks to #MarcusJMoore and @nytimes.com for providing the platform. This was deeply cathartic. Bless you, Roy. Forever and ever and ever. 🤎 #JazzSky #BlackSky #Jazz #Music #RoyHargrove

Sesame Street, The Electric Company, Eyes On the Prize, American Masters, Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, Reading Rainbow, Masterpiece Theater, Where In the World Is Carmen Sandiego, The Joy of Painting, 3-2-1 Contact, Charlie Rose, etc. PBS is my childhood. The #CPB and #PBS and #NPR will defeat evil.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner walked one of the most purposeful walks of an entire generation, carrying us all on his shoulders. He did it with so much depth. So much heart. So much swag. So much purpose. And so much joy. I am at a loss. This is painful. #MalcolmJamalWarner #blacksky #jazzsky

Demonetize #Jubilee: chng.it/BmR5VwPSGq Fascists don’t deserve platforms. And @mehdirhasan.bsky.social deserved so much better with that so-called #debate.

Let's scream it from the rooftops 📢 #LoveIsland #LoveIslandUSA

Shooting our videos is a little bit different now.

Always remember: No matter how much they hoard, they’re still empty. #bigraggedyassbill #depraved #blacksky

When you think about the fact that so much of this hell on earth they just signed into law is backlash against a Black man who had the audacity to become president 16 years ago, it should be a clear reminder that the jealousy and envy of Black people has always had deadly consequences. #blacksky

NYC, WE DID OUR BIG ONE!!!! 💙🧡 #zohranmamdani

Blessed Juneteenth! ♥️🖤💚 #juneteeth #abbeylincoln #maxroach #freedomday #weinsist #jazzsky #blacksky

I was so happy to vote for this brother as soon as I possibly could, on the first day of early voting in NYC. #zoharmamdani #nycmayor

There is no such thing as an overreaction with what has now happened. This is the line in the sand. Every red hat who supports killing Americans is a traitor.

#TheShadeRoom been MAGA adjacent and problematic. I thought we knew this. Better late than never. Stop supporting them. #blacksky

Legend. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Trying to bob and weave Sinners spoilers on social media should be considered an extreme sport. Can’t wait to see it! #blacksky #sinnersmovie

This is all fascinating. I had no idea Ryan Coogler negotiated a contract where he kept final cut, first-line profits, and the rights to SINNERS after 25 years. But the idea of studio execs FREAKING OUT about it ("What if EVERY in-demand creative wants rights over their own work?") is even better.

the fact of the matter is some people do not want to see black people in media and we all need to ignore them and continue to make black art because at the end of the day, they were never going to buy or support it either way.

Is it Knicks o’clock yet? 🏀💙🧡 It’s like Christmas Eve out this mug!!!! In the immortal works of Mr. McDowell, “I feel like breakdancing!” If I’m showing teeth, I’m beyond excited! Let’s get it, let’s get it. 🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽 #nbasky #knickssky #blacksky
