I’m proud these rappers are speaking out & making it clear their experiences with older women were not okay. Rather than mislabeling his encounter as enjoyment, YG is helping other Black boys understand it’s okay to acknowledge discomfort and speak honestly about what happened.
YG drops a new track ‘2004’ detailing how he got s3xually assaulted as a minor by a much older woman. The production will have you head-banging, but it’s really just a vessel for the trauma revealed in the lyrics
Subsidizing corporate development while slashing the social safety net & rolling back climate initiatives isn’t innovative or progressive. We demand a better stadium deal for District taxpayers! Very much looking to RFK testimony Tuesday, July 29 @WIN_DC @SierraDC @FairBudgetDC
Primary Vote Share, Council Members voting "No" on RCV: Bonds 35.9% Felder 23.7% Mendelson 53.2% McDuffie** 21.9%
And RCV funding passes, 8-4! Bonds, Felder, Mendo, McDuffie are the only dissenters. Huge move here that could upend the 2026 elections (when the mayor, Council chair, AG and lots of Council seats are up) if it goes into effect in time.
I’m still in disbelief that *two-thirds* of the DC Council voted today to fully fund ranked-choice voting in the District beginning in June 2026! What an amazing day for local democracy! And a huge shoutout to every single DC resident who worked toward this moment.
Thankful to @UPOinDC for tackling the critical topic of economic security solutions for DC!! @TazraMitchell Mychal Cohen, @LaMonikaJones Dashawn Turner, Peter Tatian of @urbaninstitute giving us great food for thought TLDR: economic security is all about smart policy choices
“Are we tired?” “NO!” “Are we scared?” “NO!” “Are we gonna stay in the streets?” “YES!” A massive crowd of New Yorkers rallies to demand the release of Palestinian student activist Mahmoud Khalil!

This is all… insane. Insane
Chuck Schumer said screw the working class, I got books to sell. 🙄
That moment one realizes the Dem Party is not just “weak”, but is not even trying to win is politically liberating. Welcome.
The Cyberyruck is basically a replica of an Apartheid era South African police armoured vehicle used in the townships. Musk got Time editors to suppress this piece. Link in the thread.
Yemen defending Palestine reminds me of my great-grandfather leaving Palestine to go to Yemen to fight British occupation—now Yemen is defending Palestine against israeli genocide. Our struggles have always been one, and so has our resistance.
I just found out that my great-great-grandfather left Beit Iksa, our village in Jerusalem, in the early 1900s and traveled to Yemen to fight against the British—and he never returned. He died there. I grew up knowing that my ancestors resisted colonial rule, but I never knew…

A message to literally everyone:
"With a bully, you cannot let them slap you around. Because if they slap you around today -- they slap you 5 or 6 times; tomorrow, it's 7 or 8 times. We are not going to be bullied."
You see what Chuck Shumer and 7 other Democrats just did? You see how 10 Democrats voted to censure Al Green? Thats why so many people didnt come out in November. There's no trust
Every single Israeli Prime Minister has a FAKE name! 🇮🇱 These people are TOTAL imposters. 🐀☠️

There have been a handful of CMs working overtime on the Hill over the past few days trying to prevent catastrophic budget cuts to the District by talking to Senate staff and senators directly. And then there are CMs, like @AnitaBondsDC, that are nowhere to be found!
