Regarding the SCOTUS ruling to gut the Voting Rights Act:
White people created Racial Identity and all of its derivatives including laws and practices that are centered in Race
There is no need for Civil Rights Laws unless Racism doesn’t exist
White People created racism in America today’s ruling simply affirmed this centuries old reality
This SCOTUS ruling is clearly the ongoing racist narrative of ‘ Whiteness’ which is now centuries old in America but a obsolete fucked up binary political partisan legacy
The Voting Rights Act was put in place to specifically to protect marginalized people from the overt and systemic racism of the white majority, and from voter suppression and intimidation
Whiteness made possible this fucked up VRA ruling by the SCOTUS it affirmed the legacy that well-established political machines can legally disenfranchised minority voters.

One of the best parts of serving as your Congresswoman is the opportunity to nominate outstanding young people to our nation’s incredible military academies – including the Third District’s own Naval Academy. That’s why I’m thrilled to invite you to our upcoming Service Academy Nomination Information Forums!
Image
At each forum, I’ll be joined by representatives from our nation’s outstanding military academies and a panel of experts to break down the nomination process and answer your questions. Our first forum is happening in Howard County in just one week on Tuesday, May 5th at 6:00 PM, so be sure to RSVP HERE before it’s too late. For those who can’t make it to our Howard County forum, we’ll also be hosting an Anne Arundel County forum on Tuesday, May 21st at 6:00 PM, which you can RSVP for HERE.
As the daughter and granddaughter of Army, Navy, and Air Force veterans, and a member of the House Armed Services Committee, it’s a privilege to support our next generation of servicemembers. Last year, 26 of our incredible nominees were accepted into service academies, so if you or a young person you know is interested in serving our country, please encourage them to attend. For more information about military academy nominations in general, you can check out our website for more details.
Hope to see you soon!
Sincerely,

There is this racist narrative of late which seeks to cast Black Men as lethal threats to Black Women, this racism is yet another pathological aspect of those who believe Black Men are inherently dangerous and criminals
It is critical that We reject, object and condemn this latest wave of intentional demonization of Black Men in America with facts that refute this dangerous messaging
Facts: There are 21 million Black Women in America of which 22% are under 18 years of age according to the latest FBI Crime Index tragically 241 Black Women have died from Gun Violence this year
Any death of a Black Women by gun violence is horrific and unacceptable but there is no epidemic of Black Women violence anywhere in America nor a crisis
We have to confront and defeat efforts to conflate the false narrative and fake news about violence in Black America towards Black Women by Black Men
The fact remains crime is down everywhere in America including in Black American venues and it continues to fall

For Consideration: Volunteer Disarmament
The continuing carnage in America caused by the violent use of GUNS has to be confronted. We need a series of transformative national policies to immediately impact the possession of GUNS in America both legal and illegal possession and ownership of GUNS
The proliferation of guns in our society has been staggering and deadly, there is not a day in America where the specter of GUN violence impacts a family and a community with horrific consequences
Our nation is fixated on GUNS and it is killing and causing injuries that are beyond the pale of anything that can be tolerated in a civilized society
Our society is a culture where GUN violence is now an accepted norm and tolerated
In America the gun is worshipped as a sacred artifact. The fervor for guns is beyond any sense of reason and borders on insanity. Gun violence not only destroys lives but the health costs of gun violence is in the billions. The reality of suicides and gun mishaps in the homes of families is tragic and senseless.
It is critical that as a nation and culture we must take a life altering posture and position towards GUNS
Plane Ideas believes that ‘Volunteer Disarmament ‘ is the most effective strategy and posture to address GUN violence in America
We can achieve extremely high rates of ‘Disarmament’ with effective rates of compliance by implementing governmental policy driven structural processes that include lucrative GUN income tax and credit deductions, including healthy incentives to not own GUNS and GUN Buy Back Programs
Plane Ideas strategies include banning GUN sales and limitations on the manufacturing of certain types of GUN manufacturing, as well as mitigation of specific designated crime sentences for GUNS surrendered to the government
Our communities and our own lives are more secure and safe from gun violence with the absence of guns than the ownership and possession of guns in our homes and in the community.
We are safer as a community when NO ONE OWNS A GUN! Disarmament saves lives in both normal and crisis situations in our country.
We must disarm our nation and our communities. We must be advocates for the sanctity of life in America in all communities.
Volunteer Disarmament Now!!

Years ago during my early activism, I lived in Southfield, MI a inner suburb of Detroit, at the time I was living in Southfield it was in a transitional period where it’s Jewish residents were leaving and Black Folks were moving into Southfield.
There was two major events happening the B’nai David Synagogue,was up for sale and a CityCouncil person was resigning.
I decided to submit my request to become the new council member and I also advocated against the city purchasing the Synagogue or any religious building which tax payers had to pay for years
The Southfield City Council was primarily Jewish with a few Black City Council members , I also advocated for an election process not a appointment process for the replacement council person
I became quite controversial and a target for my activism….My interview was quite adversarial and of course I was not appointed.
In the marketplace of politics in America everything is in play including religion, race, class and one’s consciousness nothing has changed in decades in fact it has gotten worse
