Super excited to join this wonderful team, contribute to the legacy of the paper, help grow the publication and fearlessly tell stories. It’s time to make some “good trouble!”

D'Angelo was not just a neo-soul singer. The man was a true musician. He played multiple instruments, was a conductor, and had a truly incredible voice and vocal range. What a loss to music. Not, just to neo-soul, but music overall.

This!

My heart breaks for Angie Stone and D'Angelo's son. I don't know their relationship, but losing both parents in one year must be so incredibly hard. May both great artists rest in peace and power.

Rest is resistance! Summarizing the great Audre Lorde, self care is “self preservation, and that is in act of political warfare.” Thanks Dawn for the continued inspiration!

A lot of folks don’t realize how their personal lives are affected by federal policies. I was denied mental health coverage recently, having to stop therapy due to the cost until I can appeal the decision! Thanks to @StacyBrownMedia for this coverage! https://t.co/I9lPbzdTsk

This!!

The president says D.C. is filled w/ slums, homelessness and crime, but Washingtonians are pushing back! Amid the Trump’s push to take over the District , some residents are reminding people of the beauty & strength of the nation’s capital & residents. https://t.co/P7XNDVdCvy

Homicides dropped 32%, robberies: 39%, armed carjackings: 53%, and assaults with a dangerous weapon: 27%. Even now, D.C. police report violent crime is down another 26% from last year.

While Trump called his announcement “Liberation day for D.C.,” & said he’s seizing control to combat violent crime, the Justice Department’s reveals a different story. •In 2024 the violent crime rate in D.C. fell 35% from the year before, hitting a 30-yr low. More facts below

“You got some people who shouldn’t be in there. They got in because of woke.” — referencing members of MPD. “This city will no longer be a sanctuary for illegal alien criminals.”

Some of Trump’s quotes that stuck out thus far after watching the presser: - “We’re getting rid of the slums. I know it’s not politically correct… but we’re getting rid of the slums where they live.” “They fight back until you knock the hell out of them.”

In his press conference this morning, President Donald Trump formally declared D.C. in a “public safety emergency,” announcing he is taking federal control of the Metropolitan Police Department. Our @WashInformer reporters @StacyBrownMedia & @SamPKCollins will have more soon.

Had a great time on @fox5dc on the Celebrity Dish segment as part of yesterday’s Good Day DC! Thanks so much for having me!

58 years ago Loving v. Virginia was argued before the Supreme Court. Next week Virginia Opera’s “Loving v. Virginia,”, will premiere touring around venues across VA. Opera icon Denyce Graves, who directed the show, tells me about it’s importance here: https://t.co/mW7Br622Ml

Thank you Dawn! Ever thankful for your support! It’s been a wonderful celebration of legacy, culture and vision!

He said that while he’s not married to the term DEI and “just wants justice,” he also noted that DEI in Latin means God.

During his sermon today @SenatorWarnock, talked about “God’s executive orders,” and God’s vision of diversity, equity and inclusion. “Don’t tell me you reject DEI when you live in a White House built by Black hands!”

That Air Jordan commercial just had me in tears. #unbannable

“Everything that Dr. King stood for is at risk with this president and this Congress,” said the Rev. Al Sharpton at a rally combating President Donald Trump & his policies. Check out the peace & justice themed events that happened in the District. https://t.co/IqJzLwHwV3
