The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

If Trump freaked out about *this*, one wonders what might be in those Epstein case files... www.wsj.com/politics/tru...

I think ICE might have gotten my pops, but IDK…

Why is telling Black truth treated like a threat… but erasing it isn’t seen as violence? (1/)

I feel really dead…

A lot of people really lack integrity.

Christian Brokeshaw. That’s me.

Kids thinking Harriet Tubman is a myth isn’t ignorance—it’s erasure. They banned truth, defunded schools, and left TikTok to teach history. Now confusion controls the story. 📕 Erased reveals who’s behind it & why it works. Read it before more history disappears: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

Voter purges and protest bans prove: speech that shakes the system is a threat. Tired of silence? F*ck Around & Find Out is your manual to reclaim power and fight back—state by state. Act now: get your copy, register, organize, and shake the system today: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

Things that will be impacted by this and have nothing to do with trans identity: Birth control Reversing Female Genital Mutilation Breast reduction Puberty blockers for precocious puberty Ectopic pregnancy Abortion access Pap smears Childhood ovarian cancer Childhood testicular & germ cell cancer

Also my opinion. I think everyone deserves a partner, companion. This is gender neutral. Everyone is deserving of a loving, compassionate, considerate partner.

The Trump administration has reportedly agreed to pay $5 million to the family of Ashli Babbitt, a Jan. 6 rioter shot and killed by Capitol Police as she attempted to break into the House Speaker’s lobby.

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Since his breakout in 2011, Chicago has witnessed Lil Durk’s rise from rock bottom, to being one of the hottest breakout rappers, to being at the bottom again, to slowly becoming one of the most beloved rappers from the City of Big Shoulders. thetriibe.com/2025/04/fede...

Violent crime is down in Chicago. In the first quarter of 2025, Chicago reportedly had the fewest murders since 2019. thetriibe.com/2025/04/prit...

My latest story for @thetriibe.com! On Lil Durk’s community work and what his music and legacy means to Chicago. I spoke to several of his collaborators and colleagues about the impact he’s made on the city and what he was working towards before he was arrested. thetriibe.com/2025/04/fede...

NEW — Superstar rapper Lil Durk is in federal custody after being charged, in October 2024, with orchestrating a murder-for-hire plot. Despite this, his career continues to soar, bolstered by the success of his latest Billboard 200 chart-topping album ‘Deep Thoughts.’ thetriibe.com/2025/04/fede...

If you don’t allow your kids to have internet access until they’re like 16 and then just give them a phone they’re likely going to get scammed and abused immediately. This already happens. Kids need to be actively taught digital *literacy* from a young age, that’s the problem

It's almost like giving bullies your lunch money encourages them to shake you down tomorrow.

Crazy as it may seem, Yolanda is probably “safer” in prison than out in the world. Someone would absolutely put some hot shit in her.

As the White House continues attempts to erase programs and people tied to diversity, prominent Black Democrat Stacey Abrams has become a target. Republicans in her home state of Georgia are investigating her 2018 gubernatorial campaign. bit.ly/4iTqNuk #staceyabrams

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

A whole lot.

Adding a journalist to a top secret government group chat about dropping bombs *IS* the kind of thing people who aren’t super politically literate can understand and find shocking/notable/disqualifying. Dems should seize on this and never ever let it go. I hope to hear about it in a decade

EBK Jaaybo defines nihilistic choir drill G Perico & DJ Drama keep making neo-G-Funk anthems X4 & Lefty Gunplay incinerate the best Biggie sample in recent memory. Icewear Vezzo teams w/ Big Sean & Peezy. Only on this week's Rap Up by Donald Morrison www.passionweiss.com/2025/03/24/t...

A gentle reminder that people have gone to jail for doing what Pete Hegseth did yesterday. It is also completely consistent with every accusation of the man being an incompetent drunkard that preceded his confirmation. There should be televised hearings investigating this breach. Instead, silence.

I want some biscuits.

Stop listening to podcast & relationship coaches, matter fact drop most of what you’ve heard. Yes you need boundaries, but ultimately a relationship is an understanding between two ppl at its most basic level. Figure out what that looks like for you & do it. If it don’t work, restructure it.

Some will fold, some will sell out, some will look the other way. But we won’t. We fight now, or we lose everything.

It did do something after all. #Target #boycott www.thecharlottepost.com/news/2025/03...

being an adult is waking up each day with at least 5-10 problems… and spending the morning figuring out which one or two you can actually handle today

Trump is laying the groundwork for mass purges. He’s dusting off a wartime law that justified locking up Japanese Americans and now wants to use it to deport people at his command. This is how fascists operate. This is how genocides begin.

BREAKING: Arlington National Cemetery is actively erasing the legacies of Black and female Medal of Honor recipients. The truth about their sacrifices is being scrubbed from the website, and this isn’t some oversight—this is a calculated attempt to rewrite history. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Good morning, can we hit $28k by the end of the day?

Chicago went from 70 degrees on Friday to my whole yard being covered in snow today smh

From the Revolutionary Column last month: Cruel and unusual punishments aren’t at all unusual for El Salvador’s prisoners. “Cases of torture, including of children, have involved beatings, waterboarding, burnings, suffocations, and mock executions.” thetriibe.com/2025/02/the-...
