Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson created the so-called “Reparations Task Force” by Executive Order 2024-1 back in June 2024 — and he put just $500,000 into it. Why? Because by that point, he had burned through every surplus dollar the city had to fund services for illegal immigrants, and he was getting MAJOR backlash from the Black community. Now fast-forward to the 2026 Proposed Budget: He’s trying to slide an additional $200,000,000 under vague categories like “Special Events Projects” and “New Arrivals.” We all know what that means — more funding for migrants, not for us. And here’s the real scam: Word is that the Reparations Task Force is preparing to protest in support of Brandon Johnson to help him pressure aldermen to pass this budget so they can start their little “reparations conversations” next year — conveniently, right before election season. This is the exact same Democratic Party playbook every single cycle: ✨ Create a task force ✨ Hold meaningless meetings ✨ Dangle “hope” in front of Black voters ✨ Meanwhile, they move hundreds of millions behind our backs ✨ And the Black Caucus stays silent every time Meanwhile, we have a full-blown displacement issue in Chicago, and this administration — with the help of these aldermen — is in on it. They are pushing residents out of their own neighborhoods while funneling resources elsewhere. If this Task Force and the Black Caucus were serious about reparations or serious about the Black community, they would be the FIRST ONES calling out this $200,000,000 budget trick. But they’re quiet — because their loyalty is to Brandon Johnson, not the people. It’s a NO for the budget. Chicago residents are tired of being ignored while our money is being misused, misdirected, and hidden under fake line items. #Uncomfortableconversations #ChicagoFlipsRed

Black Simps & Democrats Liberalism is a female trait...so why would a black man be loyal to the liberals? The answer is simple...SIMPIN! Or he's gay. Those are the only two types of black men who vote democratic. Black men who vote for democrats are simply following behind misled black women. They are men without a backbone. The truth is...for the sake of keeping black women happy, black men align with the democratic party. Some of them even feign democrat just to get close to a woman. They have no aura, charisma, and don't take their APEX. So they have to resort to pandering to be around women. They'd rather be a woman's pet than her leader. And they always turn out to be weirdos. While some do it for acceptance, others do it out of coercion and threat. Black women have so much power in America that when they unite, they can ruin your life with only a social media account. Black men have been punked by their own women. Held hostage to the democratic party out of fear. Fear of being labeled a coon or a sellout. Fear of being blackballed. They don't even let black men on the black podcast circuit if they don't align with the democrats. It's that bad. Black podcasts are in the business of making money, and advertisers don't pay black republicans like they do black democrats. Doing so could get your PODCAST blackballed. It's as if black identity is directly tethered and bound to the democratic party. Now, THAT, is some good brainwashing. Do you even have leverage if one party knows that they can count on your vote? Why should they do anything for you when they know you won't defect to the enemy? This is common sense in negotiations, but women don't think; they feel. And all of black politics is about THE FEELS. They didn't like something someone said or how they said it...BLAH BLAH BLAH. But rarely do they examine without bias. The ignorance of the black vote is held in place by black political grifters who get direct checks from the democratic apparatus to lie and deceive our people...to make them believe they only have one option. But what happened after Biden got elected? Black pundits and influencers complained that the job opportunities and checks stopped. Why? Because the job is done and they don't need your black ass anymore. You were a DEI hire! Remember when Ice Cube got canceled because he wanted to meet with Trump after the Democrats didn't respond to his requests, so he quit politics. Could a guy with "Killer" in his rap name get booked if he talked to Trump? Or would the ATL boule collectively cancel him? Now, the thing the black man fears most is the black woman. But it's more like FOMO. He practically begs for her approval. But what if she views you as a tool and not someone to be respected? When you stand 10 toes down, you get respect. And at this point, it's obvious that our women do not respect us. They don't respect us because we are cowards. We're afraid to challenge them. And until we do, our people will never be free.

On The 14th of June 1946 a baby boy was born In the Jamaica district of Queens, New York. In 1995 his car had a flat tire. A black man walking by noticed the owner was wearing a suit, so he stepped in and fixed the flat. "How can I repay you?" asked the gentleman. "My wife has always wanted some flowers," the man says. A few days later, the man's wife received a beautiful bouquet of flowers with a note saying, "thanks for helping me. By the way, the mortgage on your house is paid off." A United States Marine spent 7 months in a Mexican prison on a minor charge. He was beaten. After he was returned to America, the man from Queens sent him a check for $25,000, "To get you started." A black bus driver saved a suicidal girl from jumping off a bridge. The man from Queen sent him a check for $10,000. A rabbi's critically ill son needed to get from NYC to California for special care but no airlines would fly him. The generous man from Queens used his private jet to fly the child. This kind man from Queens did many other quiet acts of kindness over the years. Everyone loved him. Then one day he decided to run for President of the United States. The elites and media immediately turned on him. The current president of the United States at that time spied on his campaign. He even tried rigging the election for a crooked deep state candidate with the help of the FBI. But, millions of people turned out to vote for this man and they weren't able to overturn the will of the people. He quickly became the greatest president the United States had ever had. He made history with a record breaking economy and restored our respect on the world stage. Then these same globalists came up with a plan to make sure he was a one-term president and take back their power. They impeached him twice on bogus charges and released a fake pandemic to shut down the country, and ruin the economy. The media and CDC lied about the death rate and the media broadcasted it 24 hours a day 7 days a week causing fear in the people. They changed the voting laws and procedures to ensure they would win the next election. They paid ballot "mules" to stuff vote-by-mail drop boxes and steal the 2020 election. After these deep state globalists successfully stole the 2020 election from him, they charged and arrested him with trying to steal the election from them. But, he didn't give up on the people and the country that he loves, so he is running for president again. You may know him? His name is Donald Trump. And I'm voting for him on November 5, 2024. #614clinton

Sidney Holmes, a man from Broward County, Florida, was just 23 years old when he was wrongfully convicted of being the getaway driver in a 1988 armed robbery. He was sentenced to 400 years in prison,a punishment that would ultimately steal 34 years of his life. The key evidence? A misidentification of his vehicle, a yellow Oldsmobile that was never conclusively tied to the crime. From the beginning, Holmes insisted he was innocent. He had an alibi and no physical evidence ever linked him to the robbery. But flawed investigative procedures and unreliable eyewitness identification sealed his fate. Over the decades, Holmes never gave up hope, spending his time in prison earning multiple degrees, including in theology and computer science. In 2020, Broward County’s Conviction Review Unit reopened his case. They found serious issues with the original investigation, especially with how police handled the car identification. In 2023, the state declared Holmes innocent and released him from prison, finally ending his decades-long nightmare. After his release, Holmes faced another hurdle. Florida’s compensation law, known as the “clean hands” rule, blocks payments to exonerees who had any prior convictions,even unrelated ones. This would have denied him financial restitution for the years he unjustly spent behind bars. In response, Florida lawmakers unanimously passed a special claims bill,SB 10,just for him. The bill granted Holmes $1.7 million in compensation, along with tuition assistance for up to 120 college credits. Governor Ron DeSantis signed it into law, allowing Holmes to finally receive some measure of justice. Holmes, now in his late 50s, has begun rebuilding his life. He said no amount of money could give him back the years lost with his family, especially the time missed with his father and daughter. Still, he's determined to move forward with grace and purpose. Today, Sidney Holmes is focused on helping others. He plans to write a book, start a nonprofit for wrongfully convicted individuals, and speak out about the flaws in the criminal justice system. His story is a powerful reminder that justice delayed is justice denied,but it’s never too late to make things right. FYI, I focus on adding context to social media posts that often lack it. If you're interested in seeing posts with added clarity and background, consider following me.

100% BLACK OWNED PREMIUM Pre Owned Dealership, AVARI, Menlyn IN Pretoria. It's not about tenders it's about entrepreneurs and only way 🇿🇦can grow Is if we have more South African black entrepreneurs like this. Thembinkosi Pantsi’s journey is the epitome of resilience. Born in rural Eastern Cape, his passion for cars was clear early in . In 2000, he began studying mechanical engineering but had to drop out due to financial struggles. He worked at a restaurant cleaning toilets and washing dishes, but his dream of owning a car dealership never wavered. Over the years, he held various jobs before a major breakthrough in 2012. At just 31, he became Dealer Principal at Volvo in Pretoria, driving sales growth by 37% in two years. Still, his dream was to own a dealership. Thembinkosi approached multiple government institutions meant to support black businesses, but every single one turned him down. He persisted, gaining more experience in the industry, eventually becoming Dealer Principal at Audi Sandton—the biggest Audi dealership in South Africa. I am actually shocked that institutions like NEF did not fund him. Who do they give their money too if they don't give it to honest hard working black people with a resume one can only dream off. In 2020, his big break came. With funding from a private equity firm, Avari Cars was born. A roaring success upon launch, the 100% black-owned premium dealership made waves in South Africa. However, shortly after opening the dealership Thembinkosi left to take time off and re-work the funding model. Also Covid. After returning to Audi and achieving more success, the issues were resolved, and Thembinkosi came back to Avari as MD and Co-founder. Thembinkosi appreciates the opportunity given to him by the Private Equity Firm and they are set to take the business to the next level… I cannot find a single 100% black owned dealership in South Africa like Avari. Today, Avari Premium Pre-Owned Dealership in Menlyn is thriving again. It stands as a testament to the power of perseverance and the potential of black entrepreneurship in South Africa. Politicians talk about supporting black businesses, talk, talk, talk. Lekotlas. All types of meetings but nothing comes off it. Tembinkosi is not going to bribe these institutions to get a loan. That's not how he works. Ethical and morals. Actions speak louder than words. Politicians talk but when genuine business want support they never help. Let’s support 100% black-owned businesses like Avari Cars. Exciting to note that they are moving to bigger premises nearly double the size. Just imagine having a 100% lack owned car dealership in all major towns. We wish Tembinkosi and his team all the success. I have to repeat this,for SA to succeed and get the majority black African population you have to create entrepreneurs. Today they will be small.tomorrow they will be giants.

🇺🇸Urgent Appeal to Secretary of State Marco Rubio: Investigate the Torture and Murder of U.S. Citizen Gonzalo Lira in Ukraine 🇺🇦 My name is Oleksandr Dubinsky. I am a member of the Ukrainian Parliament. I have been in prison for 14 months for speaking the truth about the Bidens’ corruption in Ukraine. Secretary Rubio, I want to bring this crucial information to your attention. An American citizen, Gonzalo Lira, was killed in a Ukrainian prison in early 2024. Before that, he was kidnapped by Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) and held in a secret concentration prison in Kyiv known as the "Gym". This concentration camp operated from February until November 2022 and was created right in the headquarters of the SBU in the center of Kyiv. The existence of the concentration camp is known to the United Nations , has been raised at the UN Security Council, and has been included in UN human rights reports. [116] My lawyer’s team has obtained witness testimonies from people who were with Lira in a secret prison in early 2022. Later, the SBU let Lira go. But when he started to post on X about Biden and Zelensky’s corruption, SBU arrested him again — this time in Kharkiv, and put him in prison. There, he was beaten, tortured, and extorted for money. They broke his ribs. He developed pneumothorax and in December 2023, Gonzalo Lira died from double pneumonia. He was tortured and killed in a Ukrainian prison. The Ukrainian judges knew he was in danger but kept him imprisoned. If he got out, he would have exposed the SBU’s torture. One week later after his final court meeting — he died. No investigation. No answer for this crime. To this day. There is something even worse — Ukrainian media, controlled by Zelensky, oligarch Viktor Pinchuk, and the Soros Foundation, spread absolute fakes. They published Lira died “naturally because of illness”. But we know the truth. Lira posted about his torture and extortion publicly on his last day of freedom on his X Gonzalo Lira I have been through this myself. I am a member of Parliament, and I was beaten and tortured twice in a Ukrainian prison. Even one year after, I still can’t get an investigation into this tremendous crime against me. Mr.Rubio, you should take Lira’s death investigation under your control. Because the Ukrainian authorities — won’t. Stop U.S. Funding for Ukraine’s Security and Law Enforcement Agencies.The SBU uses American taxpayer money to run concentration camps in 21st-century Europe, control the judiciary, fund prosecutors who sabotage investigations, and support media that stay silent on this and label it as "disinformation". They kidnap. They beat. They torture. They force people to confess to crimes they never committed. Secretary Rubio, I urge you to push for a full investigation into Gonzalo Lira’s death in Ukraine. The truth must come out, and we must stop this from happening again. Marco Rubio Donald J. Trump Elon Musk David Sacks Jack Posobiec Michael Shellenberger Mike Benz Tulsi Gabbard 🌺 Tucker Carlson Donald Trump Jr. Kash Patel Kim Iversen 🇺🇸

In this world, Africans face inhumane treatment not only from those who don’t look like them, but also from those who look, talk, and share the same DNA with them. It is hard being a Black African living in a racist world which also has people who look like you working against your group interests. I thought of Donald Trump’s racist asylum visa programme favouring South Africa’s white Afrikaners as I drove past Khayelitsha on my way to Cape Town international airport to catch my flight back to London, and wondered who actually needs help, the privileged Afrikaners or the poor Black people living in informal settlements like Khayelitsha. These informal communities are a product of apartheid’s economic inequities and the incompetence of corrupt post-colonial leaders who have come to see this type of settlement as normal, thirty-one years after gaining political independence. People living here face high rates of untold crime, overcrowding, inequality, and general suffering. It is important to consider the historical and systemic factors that contributed to the economic and social conditions that communities like Khayelitsha face today, these factors are not exclusively from one source. The racist visa programme favouring Afrikaners highlights the need for a more nuanced and equitable approach when powerful countries deal with international matters, especially when considering the ongoing effects of apartheid and its lasting impact on South Africa’s Black population. The presence of informal settlements like Khayelitsha serves as a stark reminder of the enduring effects of colonialism, particularly apartheid, and the failure of post-colonial leaders to address the root causes of poverty and economic inequality, that is why I say today’s crisis is not exclusively from one source. It is important to recognise that addressing these issues requires a comprehensive and inclusive approach that prioritises the needs of those most impacted by systemic injustices, the Black people who were humiliated by apartheid and now by poverty powered by economic inequities. The irony of Trump’s racist approach towards South Africa is that it forbids the country from radically addressing the inequalities created by centuries of racist rule, while giving help to those who do not actually need it. It is a continuation of a racist order that has long subjected Black people to being second- or third-rate global citizens. The fact that Trump can lie about a white genocide happening in South Africa, with the help of his racist allies who own social media platforms, shows how very little has changed in global politics since the lynching days except for cosmetic changes. For a state like America to lie about a genocide happening in South Africa while totally ignoring the impact and existing realities authored by racist rule is truly wild and an uncomfortable reality that Black people must live with and not in denial. Unlike Trump, who is looking after people who look and think like him, the Black man’s burden is living in a racist world where your own people, presiding over the affairs of your own country, are also working against you. While Khayelitsha is rooted in hundreds of years of racist rule, it remains a present-day reality because of failed post-colonial Black governments that do not grasp the urgent need to bestow dignity on the lives and realities of Black people. The failure to create employment and roll out adequate housing has made the situation even more unbearable. How does it feel for those in power, and those enjoying generations of wealth built through racist enterprises, to drive past Khayelitsha in their million Rand automobiles? The funny part about life is that Black Americans are actually persecuted in America with the tacit approval of the state, yet it is the same state accusing South Africa of something it has not done, all while the Black post-colonial government fails to redress the economic humiliation of the Black South African living in shameful places like Khayelitsha. Unlike the descendants of racist rule in South Africa, who are now beneficiaries of Trump’s racist asylum visas, those in Khayelitsha have nowhere to run to, only to endure their indignity in pain, as time passes by, creating a generational curse passed on from father to son and mother to daughter.

I wrote a rap for Thalaivar today morning and let AI compose.. dedicated to his 50 years of domaninace. A man who stands tall... from black white to the age of AI Lyrics: From the dust to the gold, from the ground to the throne, From the dark to the spark, now the whole world knows! One man, one force, never bent, never broke, Superstar hustle - Thalaivar's smoke! No crown, no bloodline, just a will to rise No godfather, no script, just fire in his eyes. No pops, no moms, big bro raised him up, Walked the same streets, man, life was tough. Coolie in the heat, lifting sack by sack, Bus doors slam, man, he rode alone. Hands full of dust, sweat dripped to the ground, Every job, every struggle, still he never backed down. They say fate is blind, but it saw him right, One man stepped in, said, "Kid, take flight." "Yo, you a star, time to pack and go!" Took a train to the dream, left the past so cold. From the dust to the gold, from the ground to the throne From the dark to the spark, now the whole world knows! force, One man, one never bent, never broke, Superstar hustl - Thalaivar's smoke! He came in silent, but man, the world got loud, From villains to heroes, he shook up the crowd. "My way is my way!" - He walked that talk, Didn't need a crew, he made his own block. "Only pigs roll in groups, a tiger stands tall!" Now his name alone makes the theaters fall. One look, one word, yeah, that's all it takes, Rajini speaks? Man, the whole earth shakes! A hundred stepped up, said they better than him But fate just shhhh... then reminded em again They come, they go, they try, they fade, But Rajini's name? Man, it never decays! They don't cheer for the films, they cheer for the man, It's the heart, it's the wisdom, it's the love that he spans! No scandals, no fakes, just truth in his hands, That's why millions still scream out his brand! Yeah, he missed the polls, but the miss ain't his, It's ours, man, a good man's government? Still a wish. They said, "He's old, he's out," but watch him stand, Legends don't fade, they just expand! If the world turns if they hate or refuse, got one thing to say - he ain't got much to lose! He got me, he got us, through the highs and the lows, Through the rise, through the fall, through the fame and the blows! From the dust to the.... Our love knows no limits

Many people around the world are being told that Trump is the racist and Biden is the good guy. Unknown to them, it was Biden who pushed some of the most racist pieces of legislation in the United States that sent thousands of black and brown people to prison for drug use or possession. Still, when his own son Hunter Biden became an addict, he defended him and even praised him. It’s often called the law of karma. It’s like when the most anti-gay parent ends up having only gay children, or the most anti-immigrant person has to deal with the fact that their only daughter has fallen in love with an undocumented immigrant and is ready to leave the country to be with them in Guatemala or Sudan. One of the legislations that Biden pushed fervently was in 1986, when crack cocaine was more prevalent in black communities, while powder cocaine was more common among White users. As white and black people were using hard drugs, Biden and his colleagues decided in their wisdom to craft a bill that punished black and brown people a hundred times more severely. It was known as the 100:1 disparity and was widely criticized for being racially discriminatory and contributing to systemic racial inequities in the criminal justice system. The 100:1 sentencing disparity between crack cocaine and powder cocaine refers to a provision in the 1986 Anti-Drug Abuse Act, which mandated significantly harsher penalties for offenses involving crack cocaine compared to those involving powder cocaine. Specifically, the law required the same mandatory minimum prison sentence for possession of 5 grams of crack cocaine as it did for 500 grams of powder cocaine—a 100:1 ratio. More than two decades later, in 2010, the Fair Sentencing Act reduced the disparity from 100:1 to 18:1, raising the amount of crack cocaine needed to trigger the mandatory minimum sentence to 28 grams. As you can see, even the reduced ratio still perpetuated unjust sentencing disparities. In case you missed what I just said, here is a summary. 1. Mandatory Minimum Sentences: Crack Cocaine (used mainly by black people): Possession of 5 grams triggered a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 years in federal prison. Powder Cocaine (used mainly by white people): Possession of 500 grams triggered the same 5-year mandatory minimum sentence. 2. Impact on Sentencing: The disparity above led to much longer prison sentences for individuals convicted of offenses involving crack cocaine compared to those involving powder cocaine, despite the substances being pharmacologically similar. 3. Racial Disparities: Crack cocaine was more commonly used in urban, predominantly black communities, while powder cocaine was more prevalent among white and more affluent users. This resulted in disproportionately high incarceration rates for black individuals relative to white individuals for similar drug offenses. Below is a recap of some of the most racist bills that Biden fervently pushed, including the 1994 Crime Bill that sent thousands of black and brown people to prison and ruined their lives forever for drug possession. 1. 1984 Comprehensive Crime Control Act: This act increased federal penalties for many crimes, established new mandatory minimum sentences, and introduced new measures for asset forfeiture. Critics argue that these policies disproportionately impacted black and brown communities. 2. 1986 Anti-Drug Abuse Act: This legislation introduced mandatory minimum sentences for drug offenses, including a controversial 100:1 sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine, as explained above. 3. 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act (Crime Bill): The bill included provisions for “three strikes” mandatory life sentences, allocated funds for new prisons, and expanded the death penalty. It also included funding for community policing and the Violence Against Women Act. Critics argue that the bill contributed to mass incarceration, which disproportionately affected Black and Brown communities. 4. 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (Welfare Reform): This act aimed to reduce welfare dependency through work requirements and time limits on benefits. Critics contend that it disproportionately affected low-income families, many of whom were black and brown, by reducing their access to social safety nets.

THEY BEAT HIM DAILY, NO ONE HAS MOVED, HIS LIFE COST $10,000 IN CASH: Tesfay Hagos Alemayehu There are men whose names will never touch headlines not because they are unworthy, but because the world has chosen a hierarchy of whose pain is worth hearing, whose screams can be dismissed, whose body may be bartered. Tesfay Hagos Alemayehu is such a man. He was born on the 15th of March, 1994, in Hagere Selam, a town in the northern highlands of Ethiopia, Tesfay grew up as one of many→a son of soil, of war, of withered promises. But today, he is something else: a man stripped of dignity and caged in Kufra, Libya, where his Black skin is a currency in the economy of human trafficking. He was not searching for riches. He was not chasing dreams built on illusions. He fled Ethiopia because the land from which he emerged was bleeding→Tigray, a region devoured by war and starvation. And so he ran. As many do. As many must. But in this world, the Black man’s journey toward dignity is a crime punished before it is understood. We are often told that men must endure. That we must not weep. That we must clench our teeth through the breaking of our bones. And so, when Tesfay’s captors lash his body with black pipes, when they fasten his limbs into impossible knots and pin his skull to the cement floor with their boots, some may whisper→“he should have known better than to go to Libya.” This world, so fragile to the Black body, so hostile to Black men who dare to gamble their survival, still manages to judge them when they fall into the trap. For nearly a month now, Tesfay has been held in Kufra, tortured daily. Beaten until blood replaces sweat, denied food, deprived of water. And for what? A $10,000 ransom demanded by his captors, criminal Libyans, backed by transnational rings of Ethiopian and Eritrean traffickers. In the videos, men who speak in Arabic, flog with metal rods, and press his head into the dirt while the camera rolls. The videos sent to his family are not threats; they are proof of cruelty so normalized it now functions as a business model. In these images, Tesfay appears bound, shirtless, bruised, shaved bald and bleeding. And where is the state? Ethiopia? Libya? The international community? Twice, not once, but twice Tesfay’s family knocked on the doors of the local police in Ethiopia, bearing the unbearable news that their son had been kidnapped, held for ransom in Libya, and tortured daily. Twice, the police turned them away. Twice they were told, in unambiguous tones, “There is nothing we can do. Every day people are trafficked to Libya.” This is not ignorance, it is the institutional shrug of Black suffering. The state tasked with protecting its citizens has chosen not even to file a report. Not even to issue a slip of paper that might have enabled us→Refugees in Libya→to trigger Interpol protocols. When a government refuses to document its citizens’ disappearance, it is not just abandoning them→it is erasing them, but how can it erase us from its conscience?. Tesfay is bleeding, and the Ethiopian police cannot even find ink to write his name. 1/2

Gavin Newsom noticeably changes his persona when he talks to black audiences. We saw this in a podcast interview last year, in which he claimed to have had black foster brothers he met hanging out around the the projects. His new memoir, however, tells a somewhat different story. For context, Newsom attended overwhelmingly white schools. After elementary school, he moved to Marin County, an area with a very small black population. One of the few historically black communities there is Marin City, an unincorporated area originally built to house shipyard workers during World War II. Today, many residents live in public housing. When asked about Oakland, Newsom dances around. He says he’s “known Oakland for 50 years, man,” explaining that he grew up in San Francisco and Marin County. (As someone who grew up in Oakland, that statement is laughable. White residents of San Francisco or Marin rarely set foot in Oakland in those days.) He then pivots, attempting to connect with the black interviewer by saying he hung out in a black neighborhood and had foster brothers. Notice that when he mentions “Marin City,” he looks to the interview for recognition. Marin City is not Oakland, but his associates the two because both are predominantly Black. He says, “I have two foster brothers that I got to know—that became foster brothers—because I spent so much time in Marin City,” adding they came from “difficult families.” He then name-drops Marshawn Lynch. Later, during a monologue about “hustlin’” and eating mac ’n’ cheese, he elaborates: “Ended up being a foster family to help, you know, Suliman, Larry Joe and these guys—Stephen Ashby, my buddy. Um, but also, you know, it was also about paying the bills, man. And it was just like hustling.” Who are these “foster brothers”? Newsom has previously mentioned a foster brother named Stephen Ashby (aka Suliman Akhbar). In his memoir, he says he knew Ashby from the basketball team, not from hanging out in Marin City. He writes that his mother invited Ashby to stay with them after learning that “his home life was grim,” suggesting an informal arrangement. Yet he also writes, ambiguously, “The state of California issued Mom a license to provide foster care, and she used the extra money to take care of Suli’s food and clothes,” implying a formal foster placement without clearly stating one. I looked into Ashby’s family history. While his family may have struggled, his mother has no criminal record I could find and remains active in the Marin City community. There is no public indication she lost custody. Foster records are confidential, but the evidence suggests this was likely a short-term, informal living arrangement. As for the other names Newsom cited—Suliman, Larry Joe, Stephen Ashby—Suliman and Stephen are the same person. Larry Joe Bonner was a black classmate mentioned in the memoir, with no suggestion he ever lived with the Newsoms. Like Ashby, he appears to have had a mother capable of raising him. Newsom’s framing shifts depending on the image he wants to project. At times, he portrays his mother as altruistically caring for disadvantaged youth; other times, he says she took in foster children out of financial necessity. In the podcast, he says she took the kids in “to help” and then adds it was also about “paying the bills… like hustling.” Notably, these supposed foster children are not mentioned in his mother’s biographies or obituary. When he was mayor of San Francisco, Newsom told a reporter he felt comfortable in black neighborhoods because he had spent so much time in Marin City with his foster brother. He was essentially claiming what we used to call a “hood pass”—acceptance granted to a white person authentically connected to black culture. But one of the rules of a “hood pass” is that you don’t claim it for yourself. I suspect that compared to the insulated world of his classmates and the Gettys, he may have genuinely believed he’d earned one.

NEW: Tim Pool exposes how Facebook’s algorithm purposely fed an entire generation a false narrative about police brutality. And it started earlier than you think. “At the end of the 2000s on Facebook, the top content was police brutality.” Tim Pool said one of the top websites in the world at the time did nothing but publish stories about police abuse—because that’s what Facebook rewarded. “And there was one website that was one of the top global websites that ONLY made articles about police brutality. Why? Hit all the other algorithmic points, shot content, justice, anger.” That constant stream of outrage didn’t just shape headlines, it shaped minds. “Imagine you're ten years old in 2010 and you go on to Facebook—What do you find? BuzzFeed, Huffington Post, mic[.]com, and they're blasting you with nothing but black man killed, black man killed, unarmed black man killed.” Pool explained that Facebook’s algorithm was engineered to feed that cycle. “Facebook found that after around 300 friends and or likes, the chronological feed becomes incomprehensible. And they wanted to make sure that people stayed on the page longer. So they created the algorithm.” “They created an algorithm that if it got shared more, it got promoted more. And so what happened was that these websites like Huffington Post found that an article that said something like ‘racist thing happens’ would get more shares. So they made more of it.” What does that mean for the kids who grew up scrolling through that world? “So these younger kids who are ten or whatever are inundated with nothing but this.” The result was a warped sense of reality. “What happens? There's a famous video where a guy goes to Venice Beach and he asks people, how many unarmed black men do you think were killed by police last year? And they say 1000, 10,000.” “It was 9.” “It's because the media, or I should say social media, was propping up select stories over and over and over again.”

🚨🇵🇰 LEADING PAKISTANI JOURNALIST BREAKS SILENCE: TORTURE, ABDUCTION, AND A REFUSAL TO BETRAY IMRAN KHAN One of Pakistan’s biggest voices just described a nightmare that sounds like a political thriller. Imran Riaz Khan was abducted, tortured, and held in secret detention for months. His crime was refusing to follow the military’s narrative after the 2022 regime change. He says the demand was simple and constant: Go against his former Prime Minister Imran Khan and provide false evidence. He refused. What followed, he says, was extreme torture. Blindfolds. Hands tied behind his back. Hung by his arms or legs for hours. Isolation so complete that guards were forbidden from responding when he greeted them. He says the mental torture was worse than the physical pain. For more than four months, he says he was kept in a cell barely large enough to lie down. No human contact. Drugs injected. Repeated beatings. All for one video. They wanted him to record a statement saying he was free, hiding by choice, and that the state had nothing to do with him. He says he refused because that video would erase their responsibility if he was killed. He says they threatened him directly. Journalist Arshad Sharif was killed after refusing the same demands. And he was told he was next. Eventually, he fled Pakistan through the mountains. On foot. At night. One of Pakistan’s most familiar faces, crossing borders illegally and being attacked by wolves simply to stay alive. He is now in hiding in the UK, and runs one of the country’s largest YouTube channels We get into: • How he says the military pressured journalists to help remove Imran Khan • What he describes inside secret detention sites run by intelligence agencies • Why he refused to become a false witness against Imran Khan and judges • How Arshad Sharif’s killing changed everything • Why he says even exile does not mean safety • Why he believes Pakistan is heading toward a breaking point Stay quiet. Disappear. Or pay the price. Imran Riaz Khan says he chose something else: to speak. 00:45 – Why the military tried to force him to betray Imran Khan 02:12 – The exact pressure he says he faced in secret meetings 05:44 – How his torture began and what they demanded 07:19 – Why he says Imran Khan was the only leader who never retaliated 09:35 – How he became the most-watched journalist in Pakistan 12:10 – Why he believes May 9 was a state-orchestrated trigger 15:33 – The fake case he was asked to fabricate against Imran Khan 18:50 – What happened the night Imran Khan was ousted 22:07 – What he says happened inside an intelligence-run secret prison 25:58 – The moment he realized they were preparing to kill him 29:46 – How Arshad Sharif’s murder became a warning to others 33:14 – The trap he says was set to frame him with planted terrorists 36:22 – What his captors said when they finally released him 39:30 – Why he stayed in Pakistan even after being tortured 42:41 – His hidden escape route through the mountains 45:55 – The animal attack that nearly killed him during his escape 49:08 – How he crossed into Afghanistan under threat of assassination 52:34 – What the UK told him while deciding whether to grant asylum 56:05 – Why he says even exile can’t guarantee safety Disclaimer: Views expressed are my personal opinion as an Australian citizen permanently resident in Dubai, UAE, protected under Article 19 of the ICCPR (as ratified by Australia) and UAE constitutional provisions on freedom of expression.

Terry Crews is not a pedophile, but another victim of sexual assault at the hands of powerful hollywood figures. Terry Crews was sexually assaulted by a Hollywood Executive at a function on 2016. An unnamed male executive grabbed his genitals in front of his wife and grinned like a jerk at their shocked response. The assault lasted only minutes, but what he was effectively telling Crews while he held his genitals in his hand was that he held the power. That he was in control. He said that he was tempted to retaliate, but was worried how the incident would be reported and feared he would go to jail. He thought, 240 lbs Black Man stomps out Hollywood Honcho would be the headline the next day if he did. When Crews told his story, the social media monster started to rear its ugly head. “Why didn’t he fight back against his assailant?” “What else are his muscles useful for?” “A man, a victim of sexual assault? How hilarious!” Not only from members of the public, but from other big name stars. Rapper 50 cent proceeded to mock Crews experience with a tiring meme on Instagram. Crews said the executive later called to apologise, but did not give a reason for his actions. Crews chose not to publicise the incident for fear of being ridiculed, which is par for the course when the predator has power and influence. Terry said his experience had helped him understand and empathize with those who have remained silent, but Harvey Weinstein is not the only perpetrator. Crews also expressed hope that, by making his experience public, he would deter a predator and encourage someone who feels hopeless. He spoke more on why he didn't do anything at the time. He stated, as a black man in America, you only have a few shots at success, you only have a few chances to make yourself a viable member of the community. Crews is from Flint, Michigan who had seen many young black men who were provoked into violence and they were in prison or they were killed. As he shared his story, he was told over and over that this was not abuse. This was just a joke or just horseplay. One man’s horseplay is another man’s humiliation and he chose to tell his story and share his experience to stand in solidarity with millions of other survivors around the world. Crews even made a series of tweets about what happened in 2017 in a 9 part series of posts. Growing up, Terry Crews watched his father violently abuse his mother using power and authority to dominate her. As he grew up, this thought transformed the type of man he became.
