I 🧡 sharing my origin story! Launching @kweliTV from scratch has been one of the most challenging tasks of my life —the mental & financial strain, the uncertainty, the rejection… Yet, I feel abundantly blessed. We’re still here fulfilling our mission. fastcompany.com/90728547/kwe…

Are we paying attention!
Andrew Natsios, a Republican former administrator of USAID: “I’m not a moderate Republican; I’m a conservative Republican…the reason they [Republicans] aren't saying anything is because they’re afraid. Musk said that he’d spend $100 million in primaries on anyone who opposes the president on anything. There’s a lot of fear in the city right now.”

Three weeks ago I began building dei.watch out of frustration with this administration & corporations dismantling DEI. Now, a right-wing DEI list targeting mostly Black federal workers is gaining traction. Let’s make sure dei.watch gets more attention!

Lord, help us.
Trump's plan to dismantle the U.S. indoctrination system (college) by seizing funds from schools that refuse to comply with his accreditation system. 1. "Our secret weapon will be the college accreditation system." 2. "Fire the radical left accreditors that have allowed our colleges to become dominated by Marxist maniacs and lunatics." 3. "We will then accept applications for new accreditors who will impose real standards on colleges once again." "These standards will include defending the American tradition and Western civilization, protecting free speech, and eliminating wasteful administrative positions that drive up costs." 4. "Remove all Marxist diversity, equity, and inclusion bureaucrats, offering options for accelerated at low-cost degrees, providing meaningful job placement and career services, and implementing college entrance and exit exams to prove that students are actually learning and getting their money's worth." 5. "Direct the Department of Justice to pursue federal civil rights cases against schools that continue to engage in racial discrimination." 6. "Schools that persist in explicit unlawful discrimination under the guise of equity will not only have their endowments taxed, but through budget reconciliation, I will advance a measure to have them fined up to the entire amount of their endowment." 7. "The seized funds will then be used as restitution for victims of these illegal and unjust policies."

Breonna Taylor’s mother, Tamika Palmer, celebrated the verdict with friends outside the federal courthouse, saying: “It took a lot of time. It took a lot of patience. It was hard. The jurors took their time to really understand that Breonna deserved justice.”

The NY Times: “For Americans who may have forgotten that time, or pushed it from memory, we offer this timeline of his presidency. Mr. Trump’s first term was a warning about what he will do with the power of his office — unless American voters reject him.” nytimes.com/interactive/2024…

And this is why I fight so hard for @kweliTV: “…major studios, which pledged to reexamine their employment practices in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, fail to produce many films from people of color.”
