Been waiting since last summer to see this play. My mom was supposed to be in town this week but she postponed her trip because went to the hospital. Now I am sitting in between two strangers. 🙃

Purchased my plane ticket for my uncle's services later this month. And now that United is servicing Roswell, my ticket was less than $300. American Airlines can kick rocks. Their prices were super expensive.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden has said he has “deep concerns about CIA activities.”

Thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill, Amazon saw its corporate income taxes shrink by more than HALF last year, even as its profits climbed. But instead of investing the savings into their workforce, Amazon just announced thousands of layoffs and plans to spend $200B on AI. Textbook corporate greed.

Been watching past Super Bowl halftime shows to get ready for Sunday’s show with Bad Bunny.

Rs are “worried about private polling that paints a dire picture of the midterms—& it's not just the House they're afraid of losing, it's also the Senate.” (Rs are thus DESPERATE to (a) pass their voter suppression bill & (b) create a pretext to “federalize” the election by ginning up BS re 2020) 1/

A solid analysis by @wyden.senate.gov of Trump’s snake oil he is trying to pass off as lower drug prices.

The International Olympic Committee ruled that an image of Toussaint Louverture, born into slavery and and leader of the Haitian Revolution, on Haiti’s uniforms violated Olympic rules barring political symbolism

Medgar Evers was assassinated in his own driveway while his wife and kids were inside the house. Klan member Byron De La Beckwith shot him in the back and it took 31 years to get a conviction!

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

I agree. Too many of them want the views that come with political content without any of the responsibility.

My mom sent me a message letting me know that my Uncle passed away early this morning. 🥺

Whistleblower puts Tulsi on notice that he will go to Congress himself if her office doesn’t respond by Friday.

always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post

You can’t reform the devil

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

In case you're wondering...

The attorney working for DOJ who asked to be held in contempt so she could get some sleep and said "this job sucks" was assigned **88** federal cases in less than a month, per a court docket search. www.fox9.com/news/federal...

The Oregon woman was on her way to pay rent and to buy a cake for her grandson’s birthday when federal agents started following her.

My nephew turns 13 on Friday. He asked for a Star Wars hoodie. Me, mom and bro usually travel to Yakima to celebrate each kid turning 13. But mom canceled her trip to help care for her brother who is in hospice.

Simply incredible

Got a chance to see my uncle via FaceTime. He is hanging in there.

ICE was stealing equipment from the Islip Long Island fire department and a Islip Forward member documented it. ICE tried to arrest the community member but the firemen said “I don’t think so” www.islipforward.org

Hair always laid

Happy to see members of The Soultronics and The Vanguard on stage honoring D’Angelo.

40 years ago.... #GRAMMYs

"First, giving honor to the almighty God..... Rosie." Rosie O'Donnell was the host that year & in her opening monologue she told artists they didn't need to thank God. Whitney said "Bet." 🤣 Miss her #GRAMMYs

You can honor the legacy of Rosa Park by taking free rides on all TriMet’s vehicles throughout service hours on Wednesday, Feb. 4. Read more here: https://www.oregonlive.com/commuting/2026/01/trimet-offers-1-day-fare-free-rides-next-week-in-honor-of-this-civil-rights-icon.html 

Happy 89th Birthday 🎂 Garrett Morris 📺🎬 (February 1, 1937)...

Jellyroll lost a bunch of weight.

Mom also told me that United airlines will now fly into Roswell. So that makes two airlines and more options. Still expensive.

Called my mom to check on my uncle and he is still with us.

Only watching the Grammys to see the D’Angelo tribute.

Recommend Clint Smith’s Black History Crash course to view during BHM. m.youtube.com/watch?v=xPx5...

In line to get some food from Bryan Furman who is doing a pop up in Portland this weekend. Ordered brisket and ribs for both me and my brother.

FaceTimed my mom to check on my uncle. I was low key dreading it but he was sitting in the wheelchair and just finished breakfast. My mom, aunt, uncle and cousin are taking shifts to sit with him 24/7.

Hell, yeah. “I’ve got white skin, so I’m using my privilege to speak for my friends and neighbors. We’re telling them to stay home and stay safe, and we’re coming out and fighting for them.”

“You cannot be neutral about the dismantling of our democracy and still expect to be protected by it,” Fort told CJR days before her arrest. “If the Constitution fails to protect US citizens, it will fail to protect the media, the free press." www.cjr.org/news/astonis...

Sanford and Son icon Demond Wilson, forever Lamont Sanford, has passed away at 79. His groundbreaking TV legacy and life of service will not be forgotten. #SanfordAndSon #DemondWilson #ClassicTV #tvsky

Don Lemon has been released. Like the others he did not have to pay bond! I am glad he made it out of detention safely.

I truly believe they threw this out today because they don’t want media talking about the illegal arrest of Black journalists or the confiscation of Fulton County ballots and election files.

Six days ago federal officers murdered a man in the streets of Minneapolis and we still don't know their identities. Is there any modern precedent for this?

It’s pretty fucking wild that the DOJ is releasing files that include accusations that the President of the United States raped underage girls, to distract from the fact that the DOJ is covering up murders of US citizens by their own government.

4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government
