It’s February 1st. A good Blackity Black greeting to everybody on this 100 commemoration of celebration of Black excellence✊🏾. Let’s start with honoring the person who started it, Carter G. Woodson, which he intially had the commemoration at a week.

FREE BOTH BLACK JOURNALISTS GEORGIA FORT AND DON LEMON UNTIL IT’S BACKWARDS

Don was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles.

Putting this video right on front street because I want to do my own caption. Rep. Ilhan Omar was ready to squabble up, as she said she’s built for it. It’s not lost on me though that it’s another Black woman putting her body on the line to go against this regime. Video credit: CSPAN

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

My prayers & heart goes out to all the families who lost loved ones on this day 🙏🏽💜🕊

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

I wrote a bit in my latest letter from the editor about link between the violence we are seeing from ICE and the continued violence Black people endure from the police. baltimorebeat.com/letter-from-...

Stop cutting our healthcare in order to fund the growing lawlessness of ICE! #JusticeforReneeNicoleGood action.momsrising.org/sign/not-cru...

Day of remembrance and my right to rant. Ironically it happened on a West Wednesday & Tawanda Jones that evening was tying everything together.

So many in media are ill-equipped to interview officials about what’s happening because they begin with the presumption of legitimacy and don’t know enough about history or U.S. foreign policy to foment intelligent pushback and hold officials accountable.

I want to say Happy New Year since I haven’t been on in a while but whew Lawd - the news be newsing in the worse way. At least Baltimore’s 2025 homicide numbers were the lowest since the 70s.

It’s that time of the year 😆

Another step to Reparations.

Today, I spoke with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his wife, Jennifer. In April, when I met with him in El Salvador, Trump said he would never set foot in the U.S. again. This case has never been about one man alone; if the govt can violate the constitutional rights of one, all our rights are threatened.

Happy 100th birthday to Dick Van Dyke!

Whatever is going on between the States Attorney of Baltimore and the Mayor of Baltimore at the moment, it’s about to be a whole ass problem for the residents. I will not elaborate further.

When Jasmine Crockett makes the anticipated announcement, let’s hit the ground running. Don’t hesitate and don’t say you got to get ready because she’s been readying us as early as last year. IJS.

Abbe Lowell, the attorney who is representing Letitia James: “I can't tell you a time in the federal system...where a federal prosecutor thought a case was strong enough to bring to a grand jury, and the grand jury said no.” @kaitlancollins.bsky.social

Happening tonight at Pikes Theater 921 REISTERSTOWN ROAD PIKESVILLE, MD 21208. At one point Black owned grocery stores existed in Baltimore. Time to bring that back, especially when another grocery store - Food Depot is closing.

FLORIDA — Woman in scrubs: “I’m a U.S. citizen! Why are you doing this to me??”

“I am the originator. I am the emancipator. I am the architect of rock n' roll & I want you to know that rhythm & blues had a baby & someone named it rock & roll.” Remembering Little Richard on his birthday (December 5, 1932 – May 9, 2020) 🕊💙

The way how companies are playing in everybody’s faces at this point.

The raccoon did what I wanted to do but didn’t want to end up at the toilet 🤣

Y’all talking about that double tap & I’m still stuck at the bombing occurring in the first place with congressional approval. The double tap is icing on the cake.

A lot happened this week. In D.C. in the ground a hilarious meme was born from an interviewee who had questions about a 12 year girl on a crime spree.

If you missed the screening of the @baltimorebeat.bsky.social documentary last week, you have another chance coming up at Lexington Market! baltimorebeat.com/watch-the-ba...

Just jumping on here to say what a wild news week for the nation .

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

I’m trying to process last night

I made it to one year on Bluesky. 🦗🦗🦗😂😂 Okay maybe I’ll work on being more active to get some engagement. Shoutout to everyone who peeped in and engaged on occasions, especially the former Baltimore Twitter activists I followed 🤗

Retire that “Vote Blue no Matter Who” phrase immediately. 🗣️EVERY CANDIDATE/OFFICIAL NEEDS TO BE VETTED FULL STOP. If your fav official isn’t built for this moment- make their service to us very uncomfortable & look to primary them. I said what I said.

Mamdani: "I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life but let tonight be the final time I utter his name."

This person took this when they called the race

WHAT A NIGHT! FOLKS UNDERSTOOD THE ELECTION ASSIGNMENT.

It’s been a week since the beautiful D’Angelo transitioned- fly high my soul singing brother. All I can do is drop this documentary for all of us to enjoy archive.org/details/blk-...

National Day of Protest Against Police Brutality activities Wednesday, 10/22.

“We felt that there was a need for this organization because we didn’t see anywhere to go where someone could understand and could feel our pain with the loss of our children”

Oh hi Baltimore 👋🏾🤭

My first Indigenous People’s Day greeting Bluesky post. I’m joining the rest of you who are standing ten toes down on commemorating those who were already on this land.

The kind of truth telling we need to know for this time. baltimorebeat.com/indiscrimina...

Putting this here for everyone who may be available to attend. There is still work to do.

Why independent news matters more than ever.

My public POV: That Chicago raid is similar to the K K K ter* rorism enacted on Black neighborhoods in the 1900’s, as well as the MOVE 💣 in Philly. The fact I even saying this out loud is of a major concern.
