After my mama passed we scrambled to find housing. After 17 denied applications we were blessed to find a spot in Pacifica CA. At the time I worked full time to put my self through college while attending full-time.

I’m trying to get affordable housing built in my backyard but ⁦the Mayor⁩ is blocking it. Enough with the political games. Let’s do this. Let’s build affordable housing for hundreds of low income San Franciscans at 400 Divisadero.

It’s not a matter of bad apples, it’s systemic. No other wealthy democracy has the same problem with police murdering civilians as the United States. It’s an example of American exceptionalism gone wrong.

Police have killed at least 3,530 people in the U.S. since 2020. They kill Black people at disproportionate rates — nearly 300% more than white people — despite Black people being just around 14% of the U.S. population. These are some of the unarmed people killed by police. 🧵

This ritual of watching unarmed Black humans be murdered by individuals their taxes help pay for and then creating a hashtag and leaders doing symbolic gestures has to stop. Real solutions, real investments, fix the problem! Systematic issues require systemic solutions.

Tyre Nichols should be alive. Yes, the police officers who brutally murdered him must be held accountable. But even their conviction on the strongest possible charges cannot bring Tyre back. We must do everything in our power to end police violence against people of color.

Why is the entire online YIMBY apparatus, including SF YIMBY, GrowSF, SFHAC, TogetherSF, etc, either silent or 100% supportive of the Mayor blocking affordable housing at 400 Divis? Is there not a shred of intellectual integrity or interest in building affordable homes?

Every one tweeting and planting and serving today, has to commit to doing the work of ending poverty tomorrow. That’s King’s message to us today- wake up!

Today, let us remember Martin Luther King as he was: A Black radical anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, revolutionary Christian internationalist who was deemed an enemy of the State and assassinated for his radical work. Just about everything else is a lie.

Yeah, be strong, be courageous, but understand that means using strength and courage towards getting the support needed to find healing and growth in your journey. This year I’m doubling down on pushing and growing these Men’s Circles. We need it, our communities deserve it.

Every time I leave our Men’s Circle I’m reminded of how little access we have to spaces that provide healing. Our society is big on “strength” and “toughness”, but it’s small on coping and dealing with pain and trauma.

Man, another shooting. Praying for the victim & those impacted. As a community, we got work to do. Watching more of what we’ve witnessed in the past unfold today, ain’t it.

The anxiety, anger, and frustration this produced at the time only made me despise those stopping me. Because I knew they only pulled me over because of how I looked, not anything I’d done.
