DC Coup

Trump’s coup in DC has made the city barren of vitality and energy not to mention it has caused extreme hardships on businesses as well tourism 

DC already has  existing multiple law enforcement agencies many inept , ineffective and to be candid incompetent 

Police Departments across the nation reflect mediocrity and the lack and inserting the NG is another clusterfuck example of Trump’s lack of depth

Five Republican states ( Ohio, South Carolina, West Virginia, Louisiana, Mississippi have deployed NG troops to DC . I expect more Republican states to join the posse!

I expect DC to become the first city in America where the demand of ‘Show Me Your Papers’ will be the state of affairs in our national capital under the Trump Regime 

This is Trump’s America circa 2025

14th Amendment Forever

 One of the promises I made to myself was to evolve and elevate my activism that is authentic and a bridge to the future 

In this regard , I seek to partner with other activists and people to ensure the language of the 14th Amendment will never be subject to any edits or changes  to the original language. 

I seek to be a part of national movement in our country which champions and cements the 14th  Amendment of the US Constitution forever and always into perpetuity

IMO with the MAGA influenced Trump Administration the sovereignty and citizenship of Black Americans and others is fragile and imperil especially the 14th Amendment!!!!!!!!

 ‘ SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS’

America Now in the Trump Presidency in 2025

Crime Discussions

In our nation it is extremely difficult to have an objective and factual discussion or dialogue about crime given the overwhelming majority of Americans in a nation of 400 million have never committed a crime nor been a victim 

Frequently the venues and forums about crime in America are curated media platforms, political think tanks, politicians and activists with agenda’s as well 

Far too many discuss ‘Black crime ‘ yet none discuss  ‘ White crime ‘ in fact White criminals were never lumped together and discussed in terms of their race as are Black criminals !!

Therefore any discussion at crime is simply selective, speculative and not a reflective of real time reality for the overwhelming majority of people in America many of whom are children, minors, inmates  and other fringe Americans 

With the FBI reporting rates of crimes are   down across nation ….  So where is the crime wave across America to discuss?? 

DC now as 51st State in America

 The recent decision by Trump to insert his authority into the law enforcement duties of the DC government should by banned by Congress ASAP

 The next step is to begin the formal process of making DC the 51 state in America the voters in DC are not allowed to exercise their full sovereignty as American citizens 

 This is another of the anti -democratic flaws of the US Constitution which has a ugly history of being a fractured and dysfunctional constitution drafted by only mediocre White Men

Politics of Crime

What troubles me is how come the mayor’s of DC and Detroit don’t care about the muggings and shootings of Black residents enough to bring in the FBI and National Guard Trump ‘s insert of the FBI /National Guard in DC  is of course MAGA driven politics 

Given crime is down in major cities across the country including DC and Detroit to the families and residents in those neighborhoods not in gentrified areas and venues that means nothing 

Apparently only White lives matter and only then is when the National Guard and FBI are deployed . That is not acceptable leaders in our urban cities 

Trump’s Targeting of Black Students

Trump the racist that he is now has ordered the government to secure racial admission data from all colleges/universities 

This information will allow Trump’s administration to identify Black students specifically and other Non-White students to target to deny these students an education and life , liberty and the pursuit of happiness , as sovereign citizens America

This attack on Diversity and Inclusion is not only racist and unlawful but clearly demonstrates how the government is being weaponized and adversly used to engage in returning to an America that discriminated against Americans soley and only because of their race

Detroit Mayoral Primary

Regarding the Detroit Mayoral Election and its outcome , Only in an America can a 2nd place loser declare victory.

The  mayoral primary results were appropriate and warranted. Voters are not obligated to vote nor support lousy candidates 

The 80% of the electorate in the ‘D’ was spot on

More…

Regarding DCC candidates overall they reflect a mediocre collective of choices and once again it reveals and contributes to why this voter turnout was so meager and disappointing.

Whistett represents the very worse of  DCC candidates her pandering to Trump and her self admission of not securing more educational credentials is not the Black Women Template anytime and anywhere in America

I am seriously considering return to Detroit to secured an elected position in a local, state or federal arena, the citizens, residents and others in the city/state  deserve the caliber and character of  my life’s experiences and activism as I age out of circulation and existence.

Repost for a Detroit Voter

Voters are foundational pillars/anchors  of a society that is governed by elected officials 

Voting and Voting Rights are also foundational pillars /anchors of a society 

It is also true and foundational that there is no obligation to vote nor vote for lousy candidates and referendums simply because there is an election 

Voting can be overrated and an exercise in the futility of voting for the ‘lesser of two evils’ and impotent equation that is often inserted into elections where the candidates are lacking and the like

Far too community issues that require addressing don’t require voting nor elections in fact the insertion of politics and politicians become obstacles to solutions and communities.

Many citizens , residents, and various grass level associations do moblize themselves to get problems addressed without the intervention of politicians and local government bureaucrats and workers 

Presently in our nation our government and far too many elected officials are our adversaries not the advocates for our communities 

Today in America the policies and activities of our government are as destructive and problematic as the problems faced by our communities 

Voting is not the best nor the appropriate response to communities in this Era of America’s governance on all levels local to state to federal government

This is the response I gave to a person who was angry and upset with my comments about the good Pastor Kinloch who is a City of Detroit primary mayoral candidate 

‘ I don’t know U nor any of your personal circumstances.. I post a variety of political and social comments on FB because I am an activist 

I don’t require your consent or permission to express my views including political opinions about elections and candidates 

U R immature and clearly can’t tolerate opinions that don’t reflect yours

U were wrong to make my comments personal on FB personal 

No one is obligated to read or respond to my content and comments 

Now if your feelings are hurt go talk to your pastor not me

Amen

Slave Tree Project

Many years ago I sought funding for a project to locate and identify Slave hanging trees in America ‘s southern states 

My objectives were many including a historical one as well as an objective to mark the trees with statues and to destroy them 

I encountered enormous difficulties, challenges and resistance from both White and Black folks 

I am contemplating returning to this project…..
