All my lifelong middle class Black friends: Here's the 10th article on what Trump is doing and why.
Me: Were you uncertain about what he was doing and why?
Them: Well now let's see if Congress will have a "come to Jesus" moment.
Me: 
Me: (When I stop laughingly insanely) What are you all planning on doing?
Them:........
yeah...that's where we are.
The Black ministers protest at Target took place today. They didn't bring any signs...
#BlackMastododn #BlackTwitter #BoycottTarget
If you are in the Washington DC or Montgomery County, MD and you support the national Target boycott, then come out this Saturday, March 29th and join the boycott at the 14th St NW Target. Rally is from 11AM - 2PM
14th Street NW and Irving St. NW. You can take the Green line Metro to the Columbia Heights stop. Target is across the street from the Metro.
My favorite #MastodonTradition happens twice a year when 400 White people boost a single "Where are all the other Black people?" post so that 5 of the 29 Black people on here can get tagged in the same thread and discover that we already follow each other.
What's your favorite Mastodon Tradition?
#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #Resistance #Africa
The new African Film Festival ends Thursday night. You can leave the theater with a heavy heart after seeing the suffering the merchants of death are causing. Millions of Africans being killed and maimed while the west turns a blind eye. To the people of Sudan (No & So), Somalia, DRC, Ethiopia we see your fight to survive. To my family and friends in Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso, may you some day have a govt chosen by ballot rather than bullet.

This is my favorite time of the year in DC. The New African Film Festival is going on at AFI Silver Spring. Its 12 days of African film showings. Ethiopian film makers were heavily featured this week so I'm sharing a cut by Abby Lakew called Tene Habesha. Enjoy and the festival runs through 3/27.

I missed posting this on Friday but since the music is from the diaspora we'll just say the delay was due to travel. Recently saw Arturo O'Farrill & the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra. Great show. This cut is La Puerta. https://youtu.be/qcQ2c0jllhw

If you are in the DMV area and can participate in a rapid response campaign: people are meeting at the Hart Senate building tomorrow to talk to Senators to vote "no" on the new republican plan to turn DC's municipal government into a federal agency and then cut its budget.
Here's the info.

Me: "What kinda shoes do i need?"
Them: "Technically steel toe boots, but any boot is fine. I just wouldn't wear Air Force 1s or anything."
Me: "You sure? Ok i gotchu."
Great moments in #Negrocity:
Steel toe Reebok Mids with the strap on 'em.

Well...it looks like the North Koreans have mastered how to use crypto currency! If you didn't see the story, they managed to rob an Etherum wallet of 1.5 BILLION dollars. Is that what was meant by crypto trading can make you rich?

#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter #WashingtonDC #HomeRule
You may know DC is not a state. We pay taxes but don't have a voting member in either the House or the Senate. We have what is called "Home Rule." It allows us to elect local government and to have local laws. The Republicans have introduced a bill that would eliminate Home Rule. If you live in the district please follow the FREE DC Project.

Project orientation starting this week. Don't let them make DC a plantation.
