I don’t wanna hear what Elon Musk and DOGE are doing. I wanna hear what Democrats are doing about it.

So Google went from being a tech company to a group of boot licking, fascist propagandists 🤬🤬

Some of you are asking for the strength to endure, when what you really need is the courage to leave.

A week ago I launched a community on Substack as an alternative to the doomscrolling and apocalyptic rhetoric on these apps. Today, more than 600 people have joined the community. Here’s our bulletin for the week. Today, we’re engaging the power of stillness. drshante.substack.com

After these Grammys, Drake is officially NEVER beating these allegations.

Racism will be this country’s undoing. Mark my words.

Rolled out the welcome mat to our growing community yesterday. I love it there. ❤️ Care to join us?👇🏽 drshante.substack.com

This is not a Trump moment. This is a moment for the victims and their families who fully expected their loved ones to come home last night. Take a moment to hold the DC passengers in your hearts. It could have been any of us.

Half the country decided they wanted to have BIG FUN with The Wretched. Are y’all having fun yet? Looming possibility of No Headstart, No Pell Grants, No Medicaid. Did you have your BIG FUN?

Jim Acosta just quit CNN. Thank you, Jim for not bending the knee. ✊🏽

Have the Democrats been caught flat footed? Did they not expect him to move this quickly? Where is the response? Why aren’t they sounding the alarm? Much of what he’s doing is flat out illegal.

I’m growing a healing and coaching community off the apps. Weekly coaching, audio & video for subscribers, virtual events & in person meetups. I use a trauma informed approach to facilitate healing ❤️‍🩹 & wholeness through coaching & content. I invite you to subscribe drshante.substack.com

How’s that, “I’m voting my conscience” thing working out?

I can’t help but be curious about those Jill Stein voters… or those, “both parties are pretty much the same” non-voters. Y’all still standing on business, or nah?

So what y’all doing today? **sips coconut 🥥 water ** #MLKDay

Jesus was in the grave longer than TikTok was banned. This is theater 🎭

If you mix up the letters in DRAKE’s name, you can almost spell KARE…

Drake is morphing right before our very eyes

Kamala: We’re not going back Michelle: Bet ✊🏽

Michelle Obama ain’t here for the shuck and jive.

I learned to distance myself from people who care more about WHAT I’m doing than HOW I’m doing.

The Supreme Court denies Trump’s request to stay his sentencing. Sooo… can he actually start his term behind bars? 👀

After years of faithful viewership, I have not watched cable news since the election. I am pleased to say that I do not miss it.

Allison Holker will never be able to walk this back. Even when people are alive to tell it, not every story should be offered up for public consumption. She has every right to share the pain of her experience with tWitch, but airing his personal demons on the cusp of a book deal? No ma’am 🚫

Don’t let one experience, one opinion, one rejection have the final say.

Bluesky is the last bastion. The Oligarchy is real and all semblance of pretense is gone.

Is anybody watching Rhythm and Flow? I’m on episode 9 and DreTL pulled up!!! I had my doubts about him, but he ripped it up on that feature 🔥

When the spotlight hit Kendrick, he shined it on Black Women. When the spotlight hit Drake, he said, “Free Tory Lanez”. That’s all I needed to see.

Aubrey is in his Jan Brady era

Saw a clip of Cam Newton’s interview with Ice Cube. Cam is always looking for somebody to co-sign his lifestyle. Just own your choices, bro

Somebody tell Drake that his actions are basically confirming the “Not Like Us” allegations 😬

Timeline: Jack Smith drops federal charges against Donald Trump Black Women:

Black Women: take a moment to consider how far along we would be if we had poured all the things into ourselves instead of those who took advantage, took for granted, and didn’t deserve. It’s not too late for us. Energy can be reallocated just like money. Let’s move some things around. 🧡🤎💛

If you don’t want to spend the inauguration in the US, bewildered and anguished about the new administration, I’m hosting a guided alternative to anxiety, uncertainty and overwhelm in Playa del Carmen (Jan 18-21). It’s called the Peace Protection Project. Details below protectmypeace.com

Tell me you grew up in a Black household without telling me you grew up in a Black household. Exhibit A:

PSA: When a Black person asks, “Who you talking to?!” 99% of the time, it’s a rhetorical question.

The big lie isn’t election fraud. The big lie is White Supremacy. And more than half of our country believes it deeply.

This luther joint by Kendrick and SZA 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Me listening to this new Kendrick album

I stopped being a Dem ages ago because this two party system is a hellscape. But my biggest beef with the Dems is their timidity. Even when all is on the line & Democracy as we know it is hanging in the balance, their “high road”, “bigger person” affect is maddening.

Sooo Matt Gaetz is leaving Congress and withdrawing his name from AG consideration.

Blaxit is a real thing. I did my sabbatical research on Black Americans fleeing the US to become immigrants in other countries. The exodus over the next four years is going to be something.

What are you doing to protect your peace today?

So did #ThanksgivingwithBlackFamilies die with Twitter or yall bringing it back? #AddtoBlackSky

I’m a trained sociologist and I am still amazed at how hard it is for some people to come into public spaces (namely social media) and just act right. When you show up in spaces thirsty for attention, engagement, and connection & willing to agitate people to get it, you need professional help.

PSA: you’re not going to fare well these next few years without community. Solo acts in uncertain times can be perilous. Circle the wagons. Find your tribe. Contribute. It’s gonna be a bumpy ride.

You know what’s torture? Finally getting caught up on the shows from your DVR and being hit in the face with pre-election commercials 😑

I didn’t have Flavor Flav being the unofficial Mayor of BlueSky on my bingo card, but I’m here for it. ✊🏽 🎉 @flavorflav.bsky.social
