It is now a reality the events in LA will spread across the country because of Trump
There will be no safe harbor for those Americans that resist the Trump Regime
For Black and Brown People in America the rule of law and the constitution is not our ally in fact the government under Trump is our adversary
It is critical now to prepare for an uncivil America that never has valued us and instead has always diminished us

Real Talk
Black Americans are MIA at protests across the nation against Trump’s racist targeting of Hispanics in his deportation war .. Politics and fears have all Americans in a state of anxiety and fragility in fact the world seems like it is on fire
The reasons for the fears and tensions in America are driven by Trump and MAGA primarily with this reality there is also the emotional and the history between Black folks and Hispanics that have existed sometimes latent sometimes not Yet they have exploded many times which happens a lot in our penal and correctional facilities where Black and Hispanic folks are the primary residents
So now What?
Of course during the Civil Rights Era up to BLM protests the overwhelming of Hispanics were also MIA fact is we have shared historical experiences good, bad and ugly
This particular American episode has the overwhelming Black Folks with a belief that this chapter of domestic uncivil war is largely between White Folks and Hispanics as well as issues around employment opportunities, unions , scabs, colorism, language which have Black folks on the sidelines
So now What?
Black Folks in truth have centuries old civil rights fatigue as a distinct minority in America our fate and experiences have been endless tales of oppression and deprivation inside and outside of Black America driven by White Folks and their fixation on White Supremacy and all of its iterations and derivatives
White Racism and Bigotry now has been emboldened by Trump and MAGA and for many Black Folks we gotta stay focused to that war while suffering from our own shortcomings and missteps and cultural pathologies that are ours and ours alone
Perhaps it is long overdue for Hispanics , Asians, Transgenders, Seniors, Gen XYZ to get in the ring
So now What?
Trump has triggered an uncivil war in America where our federal agencies in government are the adversaries of American citizens
Trump has ignited tensions between Federal and State authorities including both law enforcement agencies of the federal and state government
The US Constitution affords more powers to the states in the domestic welfare of the people not the opposite
States Rights will be more critical to Americans that Federal Rights that is obvious to all
The way forward is to end the uncivil war declared by Trump against citizens of America by the impeachment of Trump now not later before the war is in the streets of America
We missed U
On my knees this morning giving all that I have …..
U have returned ! So much is lonely and lost without your presence
I welcome your return , so sorely missed R U… I was in a state of fear and anxiety the very idea that U had left and nothing was going to replace U kept me on edge and unable to sleep
The tornadoes of negativity and despair has suffocated so many and made the atmosphere so toxic
Many have lost faith a real twisted and disturbing state of existence has clouded so much for so many
Anger and frustration now exists for many instead of warmth and compassion for others
Into the places and spaces of many there hovers a spirit of emptiness and abandonment
When folks talk now their voices don’t shine their faces exhibit doom and gloom
When people exhale there is nothing but a lingering sense of not relief but the anticipation of more sadness and madness
The misery in our world is taking its toll until U emerged now I feel the strength and passion for love again and maybe all can be restored and our lives can wholesome once again
Thank U , Thank U , Thank U

Reposting for my rich Harvard Friend
‘Thinking out loud …..
Harvard is greedy as hell, they have billions in endowments Yet our government has provided them with billions in contracts over many years!!!!!
Trump is a tyrant for sure but at some point Harvard needs to stop taking taxpayers money!!!!
Other universities and colleges can be funded with these tax dollars instead of Harvard
It is not logical to have one university be the major almost sole recipient of tax dollars
It is logical and strategic to fund multiple universities and colleges to maximize the transformative and threshold altering research outcomes
Harvard’s legacy and its inherent greed should not have any bearing on the distribution of research funding going forward
Harvard has billions already to fund itself
Israel treats Palestinians like shit just as White Americans treated Black Americans like shit for centuries , understanding this fact and history allows a Black American like myself to be extremely critical of Israel’s war against Palestinians not Hamas in GAZA
Israeli's like White Americans for centuries believes the worst about Palestinians in fact in the barrel of Israel’s IDF all Palestinians young and old are Hamas
This reality of course has allowed for the current state of genocide in GAZA by Israel
More to come….

This day in Trump influenced America, is a state of emergency for far too many Americans have surrendered to the regressive ideology that incentivizes loyalty and compliance to Trump which inspires people to seek approval when Trump engages in vengeance, revenge and acts of twisted
Into the void of this madness are supporters of Trump, who encourage his tyranny with adoration and allegiance without regards for principle, ethics, morality or decency in fact being audacious for the sake of proving one’s loyalty to the Regime is admission into the Regime
The rules of today are driven by politics and then politics there is no need for reason or logic in this Trump Regime 2.0
The only way forward now is to actively engage, encourage and support the opposition to the Trump Regime 2.0 appeasement, compromise, retreat nor surrender will bring this tyrant to an end

The war between Jews and Arabs is centuries old and it continues today the recent killings of two Israeli Embassy workers is horrifying and tragic of course
Because of the endless war between Jews and Arabs that has contaminated any reasoned discourse it requires one that has an opinion about the killings of Jews and Arabs to frequently issue disclaimers especially in America when one dares to insert the killings of innocent Palestinians and Jews by both Hamas and Israel’s forces one has to be prepared to be attacked and criticized by both Jews and Arabs in America
There is no safe harbor that exists in this endless war between Jews and Arabs anywhere on Earth even in the universe of opinions
Yet it is incumbent on people who value humanity and peace to not be silenced by the supporters, apologists and followers of both Jews and Arabs
The world cannot be mute when innocents human beings are killed simply because they are Jews or Arabs
There is never any excuse for any killings of innocent human beings on Earth
The deconstruction of our federal government is a massive proposition and the country is experiencing this with the Trump Regime 2.0
This paradigm is not only ideological and political of course but it’s objective is create a government that is driven by political agendas and not grounded with principles and values
Historically in our nation the role of the state and its governance was punitive for Black Americans and other minorities .
One approach the nation needs to explore is to expand the role of our state governments which will of course require more taxes from citizens since the federal government is being downgraded and diminished by the Trump Regime so should our federal taxes accordingly.

I can’t believe how quickly those I viewed as supporting DEI collapsed and capitulated to Trump’s Anti-DEI and Deportations with such tepid resistance
From the DEMS to traditional Civil Rights Orgs to the and Religious leaders including media platforms , academic institutions and prominent individuals.
In fact of late when I encounter White Progressives across the spectrum I have trust fragility and it is disturbing in 2025 and my age
I thought these White Americans were sincere about Civil Rights
WTF!!!!!
Regarding the issue of Freedom and Sovereignty in America for Non-Whites in my particular situation as a Black American in the Trump Regime 2.0
I know that centuries have passed and the issue of Race and Equality has what my elders would say ‘We have come a long way’ that America is in the rear view mirror … To which I opine ‘I think not’
Today in 2025 the SCOTUS is considering a challenge to the 14th Amendment ( One of the most powerful amendments in our Constitution particularly for Americans and others that are not White, it addresses citizenship rights and equal protection under the law at all levels of government)
In contrasting Obama and Trump’s presidency , Fuck that broken narrative, I opine that Obama was still living in the twilight aura of racial inequality and double standards .
Trump /MAGA included essentially does and says whatever the Fuck he wants whenever/wherever a licensed that Obama never really exercised nor to be honest most of Black America
I now am of the mind set in 2025 that Obama should have never put on that racial rope around his neck and today in 2025 no Black Americans should as well
I refused to be delegated to a place that is not of my choice and prerogative nor will I ever subscribe to the restraints of ‘White Arithmetic ‘aka work 3 times harder or stay in my place and stop being so assertive and aggressive aka things are getting better tiresome racial equation employed to calibrate our progress and growth in America
Nope not ever going to do that especially now in the face of the Trump MAGA Era in America
Now is the time to push all the limits and firewalls in America from acts of ‘Good Trouble ‘to states of personal consciousness and a personal sovereignty that is full blown not calibrated to appease and pander
The state of America in 2025 is not about accommodation nor code switching but full blown resistance to create a existence that has no limits or restrictions

With regards to Race in our country there are inconvenient facts and truths in our nation’s history especially in our government as well as our society
White Americans created racial identity and all of its racist derivatives from segregation to racial preferences, our US Constitution sanctioned Slavery and defined Black Americans as fractional human beings
Indigenous People , Woman, Hispanics and others were erased from the constitution in fact the cowardly bigoted White men who drafted the racist constitution frequently inserted euphemisms to avoid mentioning Black Slaves and Slavery
Presently in our nation there is a raw display of this racist legacy once again in our government with Trump’s racist edicts recently Trump fired another Black Women as the country’s librarian
Our military academies are purging and erasing Black American authors, icons and historical figures solely because of Trump’s racist Executive Orders
The rush to adhere and be in compliance of Trump’s racist edicts by government officials is as disturbing as the racist edicts of Trump
Soon there will be a complete elimination of all Black Americans in the public records and public domain, including icons like MLK , Rosa Parks , Thurgood Marshall and others but only if We don’t object !!!

Of late in our nation people, institutions and businesses that were once revered and recognized as principled are now bending the knee to Trumpism
To witness such cowardice , hypocrisy and surrender is disturbing and unfortunately continues not with regrets but with a sense of glee and eagerness
Soon and not later Americans will confront on demand requests for their ‘papers’
Soon and not later the deportations that are assaulting the safety of people who don’t look like MAGA or share the religious beliefs of Judaism and Christianity will now be expanded
Sexual Identity, Partisan Politics and of course the RACE on an American will be triggered and when that happens in America the collapse of our republic will end
There is no epidemic of Antisemitism anywhere in America
The most dangerous collective on college campuses are WOMEN not any religious group
The overwhelming majority of Jewish-Americans self identify as White
The overwhelming majority of hate crimes in America target Black Americans not Jewish-Americans or White Americans

Every time I drive by the MLK Memorial on the tidal basin in DC, I get nervous and soaked in anxiety .
I pray that his majestic presence is there, hoping that there won’t be any barricades blocking entry into the memorial or it wasn’t removed in middle of night by an act of racist cowardice by the Trump Regime 2.0
I have committed myself that in a situation where an iconic historical Black American artifact is removed in my presence I would stop such an act of Black American erasure.
I need help..
I need the federal employees, the contract employees, the volunteers at our public venues to refuse to participate in the erasure of Black Americans and our history in our nation

Regime Change in America
There were no loud explosions nor chaos in the streets,troops did not flood the avenues and enclaves of America ‘s streets and roads. No manifesto was not distributed by air drop nor was there a state of martial law issued, America elected an Authoritarian aka Trump Regime 2.0
In the post industrial era of America political, cultural, and economic realities are unlike anything our country has experienced. The very fabric of life in this era is altered by the forces of technology and the global economy and marketplace.Traditional platforms of interaction with elected officials has been fundamentally altered. The Federal Government via Executive Orders has now replaced the local elected legislatures ( city councils) and the core of power.
The micro polices of local governance have been structurally altered with the micro intervention of the Federal Government aka DOGE into the daily operational management of the local public sector.
Into this new platform of political metrics the role of governance has been forever fundamentally altered. The ruling class in partnership with centralized a private billionaire has altered the Federal government and has designed and modeled a form of governance which removes local representatives from their local oversight and control of the daily public sector and public services ( to include Educational districts) and replaced them with a new Federal centered paradigm for governance aka DOGE
The new global marketplace of goods and services require a new type of governance structure which is efficient and measured. This new model is driven not by consensus and policy concerns of the community but by mandates and financial objectives of the marketplace as defined by the Federal government under the control of Trump
Policy is no longer driven by the will of the people. What underwrites the role of political systems now is administrative platform designed and shaped by the Federal government via the edicts of Trump where there are no decision makers the reflect ghe diversity of America . Local themes and interests no longer have standing nor social or cultural currency.
Civic principles which historically have focused on the community are now factored as economic metrics rather than civic goals. What is more important is not the percentage of voters who cast a vote but the percentage of voters that are in compliance with DOGE driven administrative budgets and fiscal policies.The notions of democracy and the will of the people no longer have any currency in this real time regime change' model being played out
The DOGE (Emergency Manager) is tasked with defined administrative objectives none which have the people's agenda, America is no longer a place where public policy is underwritten by elected representatives of the people. The 'regime changes' in America have been accomplished and has transpired without a body count, political prisoners or blood in the streets.
Citizens live under a threat of a surreal state of martial law,compliance and surveillance are here and resistance is the only way forward to save America

Trump’s has now made the White House in 2025 the Whitest place in our federal government. The DOJ will no longer open cases involving police shootings of unarmed Black Americans
The DOJ will no longer seek punishment or sanctions against Police Departments across America that have extensive incidents of police misconduct etc etc
White racists like Trump emboldened more White racists …. During the Civil Rights Era of America our law enforcement agencies frequently intimidated and harassed Civil Rights workers with immunity , I expect even worse from the DOJ and now law enforcement agencies in America
Look around and there is an obvious absence of Black Americans in the inner circle of Trump, no lawyers, nor advisors not even a driver
Trump has created a silo that excludes Black Americans in any pivotal decision making process that creates policy in our nation
Trump has no interest in the lives of Black Americans except his deliberate assault on DEI across the spectrum of our federal government including high ranking Black Americans in our military
This policy of racial segregation in the White House is outrageous and unacceptable and at its core disgraceful and extremely disturbing

Betrayal
The ease in which so many public institutions, private businesses , colleges and even our military rushed to embraced the erasure of DEI in their operations was shocking on so many layers
The message to Black Americans in particular was truly disturbing and on many personal levels chilling knowing even many of our White peers gleefully championed Trump’s racist EO’s
Once again in our own country the stark realization that , We never really mattered and these acts of betrayal despite our loyalty as forever customers , student athletes and dedicated volunteers had zero currency and value this truth stings and will leave regrettably scars
Black Americans believed , We were part of the corporate mission and university culture , and the mantra of no person in the military would be left behind was a lie and nothing more that hollow slogans and empty banter
Trump’s racist DEI edicts will forever leave scars in Black Americans and our communities…..

Before the rush to declare that Harvard as the lone university aka White Knight in resisting the Trump’s agenda it is factually true that Harvard was already bending the knee and capitulating to Trump
‘Harvard moved to oust two leaders of its Center for Middle Eastern Studies, paused a partnership with a Palestinian university, then agreed to start one with an Israeli school.
Harvard was also not among the top universities listed as plaintiffs in court challenges to the Trump administration’s proposed changes to research-funding formulas.’ (NYT4-16-25)
So given these facts is Harvard now just engaging in negotiations and posturing ? Is this an act of reactionary performative art by Harvard and nothing
Hmmm…
Frequently in MSM and Substack there is this fixation over White Progressives and their importance in a variety of issues
It is extremely disturbing to observe so many in the Jewish diaspora in America supporting the racist political and polarization in our nation by Donald Trump.
Finally a prominent university in America refuses to be victim of extortion and political persecution by Trump and his regime.
Reading the government stipulations was truly disturbing and disgraceful not only were they clearly beyond the scope of any legitimate oversight but clearly they had a deep disturbing racist core
Our tax dollars don’t belong to Trump to use as a weapon to ban Academic Freedom and DEI in our educational institutions both public and private
Hopefully this refusal by Harvard and families of students across the nation will create a groundbreaking swell of resistance and more importantly an objection and rejection to the politics of tyranny by Trump and his regime.

America is floating in a fog of unbelief and our country has lost its moorings , there are so many things broken in our government which spills over into our lives
This atmosphere of uncertainty is disturbing and driven by Trump who is without question unfit to be POTUS
What is so disturbing is that people in our lives have not only surrendered to the Trump Regime 2.0 but so many are emboldened by his authoritarian policies and aura

Considerations for Black America 2025
Black Americans understand how the cultural and political temperatures change in our nation without any notice whether it is on a plantation or in a corporate landscape now in the most important venue in the White House , Black Americans are MIA by design and intent.
Trump 2.0 has no use for the deep experience , wisdom and genius of Black subject matter experts in a host of disciplines and areas today in this current reality in America our presence in the decision making contours and spaces in the White House is non/existent
There are no alerts, forecasts or analysts with our perspectives to be found on the grounds of the White House this state of being invisible , uninvited and MIA is not only unbelievable but also quite terrifying and extremely disturbing
We have confronted in America all manner and endless iterations of inhumanity and oppression including as well incredible moments of achievement and success for some not all, once again our reality in our own country is in peril and not even allies that We in the past partnered with have our backs or will come to our aid in fact many will betray us without any regrets
Trump’s mission includes has removal of Black generals and Women in our military, banning of books including tributes and photographs are being removed from our military , institutions and museums
We are now reduced to giving 24 speeches and tentative court proceedings where our interests intersect with others on Trump’s chopping block

It is an undeniable fact that today in our nation once again Black Americans are in peril and targeted by our government .
Our constitution sanctioned slavery and defined Black Americans as fractional human beings all of which were enforced by our government and society as well.
Yet despite this truly horrific state of reality for Black Americans , We will defend ourselves by any means necessary.
Black Americans have been patriots and allies to many Americans including those who are wavering now as We confront government edicts that seek to demonize and diminish us.
We created the Civil Rights Movement in America which benefited women and minorities as well as White men so many of our allies have forgotten this fact
We made many ethnicities wealthy and prosperous often at our expense and economic development and growth in our communities
We have embraced religious beliefs that were not ours and We have been ugly victims of not only a domestic Holocaust but government violence
Black Americans in our own country have confronted every twisted iteration of indecency and inhumanity
So here We are again in peril in our own country by our government and others including allies that have betrayed us and those that remain on the sidelines observing our ordeals and not doing anything to protect us or assist us
We will once again have to Come for Us no one else will
Observing Columbia and other universities surrendering to intimidation and extortion at the expense of DEI and Academic Freedom is outrageous.
Women students on college campuses are more at risk than any religious collective at Columbia and other schools
The overwhelming majority of Jews in America self identify as White , in the Jewish diaspora many Jews are Black and of color
There has never been an epidemic of antisemitism in America anywhere near the racial racism Black Americans have encountered or centuries in America
The major Jewish organizations in America are only interested in White Jews of course these organizations don’t give a fuck about Non-White Jews nor DEI
Where is the outrage and concerns for the racism and intolerance for Black , Arab and Women on our university and college campuses in America
Once again the realities of Race, Gender and Religion ‘trumps’ America
I am going off the grid to relax and refuel to construct my interactive ideas to confront the truly grave threat to my sovereignty and my family and my community in the Trump 2.0 Regime.
Trump now governs with open contempt for the rule of law as well as contempt for our constitution here in America.
Trump is now a lethal global threat to the markets with his incomprehensible tariffs war strategy.
The institutions in America that provide for a culture of critique are now under threat of suppression.
Today in 2025 pudits feel the chill of censorship and even arrest for challenging Trump’s authoritarian regime and edicts.
Ivy League colleges are in genuflecting posture while being subjected to Trump’s extortion as they seek to maintain and retain government funding and grants while also in fear of efforts to expand the banning of Academic Freedom on their campuses .
I have to elevate my game … I will return with an array of transformative thoughts and ideas that will put out these fires

Observing privileged White and Jewish donors supporting Trump’s agenda to suppress Academic Freedom on our college campuses is no surprise
Black American activists in particular have always known about the partnership between privileged Whites and Jewish groups that have never shared the agenda of Black Americans and other minorities in our pursuit of DEI and related causes including the capacity to be critical of Israel in its war against Palestinians who have similar historical experiences as Black Americans
There have always been White Liberals including White Jewish Americans that have never been sincere advocates for Black and Brown people in America
The Trump 2.0 Regime has simply lifted the cloak and now Black Americans and other minorities can observe who really are our allies
So now that White racism has surged again in America via Trump and his EO’s towards Black Americans
What happens when Black Americans react to this pathological behavior in White America???
What approach is warranted and appropriate???

The Trump Regime 2.0 is now engaged in educational extortion in our nation’s universities and colleges
It is leveraging funding to universities and colleges that adhere to policies that ban academic freedom and support the political agenda of the Trump Regime 2.0
Any criticism that challenges the policies and practices of the Trump administration will be sanctioned especially in academia and areas where our federal government provides grants and funding
Soon every media platform and academic curriculum in our educational institutions will become beholden to the Trump Regime 2.0
We must continue to reject and resist the Trump Regime 2.0
It is extremely difficult for me to comprehend why the Trump regime can’t understand that our government works for the people of America
Our government is not our adversary and it is duty bound by our constitution to provide goods and services to promote the general welfare of the people of AMERICA
The assault by the Trump regime on the capacity and ability to conduct its constitutional duties is not only a breach of our constitutional but a pursue that will lead to a catastrophic collapse of our government and society
We cannot allow this course of actions to continue

Presently in America the executive branch of our government is waging a war against the federal bureaucracy and in particular its federal workers.

There are many participants who are waging this war including politicians , judges, media and of course citizens of America
To end this uncivil war against our federal bureaucracy and its workers requires a comprehensive strategy that begins Now

The ascension of ‘Whiteness’ in our nation required the insertion of our government with its attack on DEI in our government
The private sector’s partnership in the implemention of ‘Whiteness’ is now confronting the ramifications of this racist collaboration with the government role in dismantling DEI
The blueprint of this latest iteration of ‘Whiteness’ has to be confronted in a variety of forms including declarations of condemnation , resistance and affirmation actions of displacement and today’s DEI Boycott.
The arsenal and depth of the defeat of ‘Whiteness’ will be comprehensive and impactful and transformative for the government and companies which pursue this UnAmerican agenda
