Thank you bro @stephenasmith!

🚨 THEY GIVE YOU SICK TIME… THEN PUNISH YOU FOR USING IT! 🤬 MAKE IT MAKE SENSE! 🎯 How can employers offer sick leave as a benefit, then create a workplace culture where employees are afraid to use it?! 🤰🏽 Pregnancy complications and postpartum recovery. 🎗️ Cancer treatments and chemotherapy. 🏥 Surgeries, chronic illnesses, and disabilities. 😤 Stress, exhaustion, and workplace-related health problems. These are HUMAN BEINGS dealing with REAL medical conditions! And let’s talk about the elephant in the room: SOME WORK ENVIRONMENTS ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THE VERY HEALTH PROBLEMS EMPLOYEES ARE EXPERIENCING! Then, when those workers need time to recover, they’re treated like the problem! SICK TIME IS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT WORKERS… NOT BECOME A WEAPON AGAINST THEM! ✊🏾 💬 QUESTION: Have you ever been threatened, intimidated, or disciplined by an employer for using your sick time? 👇🏾 DROP YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THE COMMENTS! #nyc #ny #fyp

🚨 BLACK WOMEN’S HAIR IS NOT A PUNCHLINE! ✊🏾👑 There’s a difference between comedy and disrespect! Black women have spent generations fighting against discriminatory beauty standards, only to have their hair ridiculed and turned into jokes. During the 2025 Virginia gubernatorial race, D.L. Hughley disrespected a Black Republican woman running for governor, making a joke comparing her hair to James Brown. Whether it’s natural, braided, locked, twisted, or straightened, BLACK WOMEN’S HAIR IS BEAUTIFUL! ❤️ You don’t have to agree with a woman’s politics to respect her dignity. And as Black men, we should know better than to perpetuate the same stereotypes that have historically been used to demean Black women. D.L. Hughley, criticize her policies, challenge her positions, debate the issues, but leave Black women’s hair out of it! And here’s my question: Would this same joke be acceptable if it were directed at a Black Democratic woman? 🤔 Mysonne, is this morally sound, my brother? Where do we draw the line between political criticism and outright disrespect? 💬 QUESTION: When does comedy cross the line into disrespect? #nyc #ny #fyp #blackwoman #hair

🚨 D.L. HUGHLEY, LET’S TALK ABOUT THOSE WHITE HOUSE VISITS! 👀🔥 You keep mentioning all the presidents whose White Houses you’ve visited… BUT WHAT DID YOU ACTUALLY DO THERE? 🤔 🏛️ Did you challenge Bill Clinton about signing the 1994 Crime Bill? ⚖️ Did you question Joe Biden about his leading role in writing legislation that contributed to America’s mass-incarceration era? 📚 Have we forgotten the issues Michelle Alexander exposed in The New Jim Crow? And while we’re discussing criminal justice, Donald Trump signed the bipartisan First Step Act in 2018, which addressed some of the damage caused by harsh federal sentencing laws. 🎤 There’s a BIG DIFFERENCE between being invited to ENTERTAIN, attending an INAUGURATION, and sitting down with a president to demand ACCOUNTABILITY! A photo opportunity is NOT policy reform! Being in the room doesn’t mean you had a seat at the table! And knowing powerful people doesn’t automatically mean you’re speaking truth to power! 💯 So before criticizing Stephen A. Smith over his political associations, here’s a fair question: D.L., WHAT DID YOU ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISH WITH YOUR WHITE HOUSE ACCESS? 🎯 And by the way… Early voting starts today! 👇🏾 DROP YOUR THOUGHTS IN THE COMMENTS! #nyc #ny

🚨 RICKEY SMILEY, YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE YOUR HOMEWORK! 🎯 Comedian and radio personality Rickey Smiley recently criticized athletes supporting President Donald Trump, suggesting that legendary civil rights advocates like Jim Brown would be rolling over in their graves. BUT THERE’S ONE BIG PROBLEM WITH THAT STATEMENT! 👀 On October 11, 2018, NFL legend and civil rights activist Jim Brown personally visited President Donald Trump at the White House alongside Kanye West! YES, THE SAME JIM BROWN! 🤯 The meeting was publicly documented, televised, and covered by major news outlets, including Fox News. So here’s my question for Rickey Smiley: How are you going to invoke Jim Brown’s legacy to criticize athletes for meeting with or supporting Donald Trump when Jim Brown himself sat down with Trump? This is exactly why RESEARCH MATTERS MORE THAN POLITICAL EMOTIONS! You don’t have to like Donald Trump. You don’t have to agree with his policies. But you should never rewrite history or misrepresent someone’s legacy simply because it fits your political narrative. Jim Brown understood something that too many people seem to have forgotten: You can engage with people you disagree with when you’re trying to advance issues affecting your community. 🎙️ In this video, I’m challenging Rickey Smiley’s comments and bringing the documented facts to the conversation. 💬 WHAT DO YOU THINK? Was Rickey Smiley wrong for invoking Jim Brown without acknowledging his history with Trump? 👇 DROP YOUR OPINION IN THE COMMENTS! 👍 LIKE | 💬 COMMENT | 🔁 SHARE | 🔔 SUBSCRIBE Progressive Action TV with Tramell Thompson #nyc #ny #fyp

I dont know if people recognize the benefit of being around positive energy.

Don’t be fooled… Short cuts aren’t all that they are cracked up to be.

One thing I love about opinions is the ability to agree to disagree! Then hopefully it creates more dialog.

🔥 D.L. HUGHLEY, I GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU! 🎯 Donald Trump called Stephen A. Smith “LOW IQ”… and Stephen A. STILL sat down with him. Now people are questioning his loyalty to Black America? 🤦🏾‍♂️ SO WHAT?! 🤷🏾‍♂️ Since when did having a conversation with somebody you disagree with become an act of BETRAYAL? 💯 Sometimes advancing the interests of Black Americans means sitting across the table from people whose politics, policies, and perspectives you fundamentally oppose! You don’t have to LIKE somebody to CHALLENGE them. You don’t have to AGREE with somebody to ADVOCATE for your community! And sitting at the table doesn’t automatically mean you’re SELLING OUT! 🚨 Now, if Stephen A. went in there kissing Trump’s ass, that’s a different conversation. But if he went in there advocating for Black Americans, shouldn’t we judge him by what he actually said and accomplished? 🎯 ACCESS IS NOT ENDORSEMENT. DIALOGUE IS NOT BETRAYAL. AND DISAGREEMENT IS NOT DISLOYALTY! D.L., here’s my question… If you had the opportunity to sit across from somebody you believed was racist and advocate for Black Americans, would YOU turn down that meeting? 🤔 👇🏾 LET’S DEBATE: IS SITTING DOWN WITH SOMEONE YOU OPPOSE A SELLOUT MOVE OR AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE CHANGE?

Imagine unauthorized individuals gaining access to a MILITARY BASE, walking around sensitive equipment, recording videos, and posting them on social media! 😳 Well, apparently, at the MTA, all you need is a pair of sneakers and a cellphone! 🤦🏾‍♂️ 🚇 Footage reportedly filmed inside Corona Yard shows individuals roaming around subway trains in a restricted maintenance facility! 🚨 THIS IS NOT A PLAYGROUND! THIS IS CRITICAL NYC TRANSIT INFRASTRUCTURE! These are the same trains that transport thousands of New Yorkers every day! If individuals can apparently gain access to these facilities just to make social media videos, IMAGINE WHAT SOMEONE WITH MALICIOUS INTENTIONS COULD DO! ⚠️ And Governor Kathy Hochul, where is the accountability?! 💰 Billions spent on transit infrastructure, yet we’re left questioning whether the MTA can adequately secure its own facilities! Here’s the MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION: If the MTA can’t keep unauthorized individuals away from subway equipment while it’s sitting in a maintenance yard, HOW ARE NEW YORKERS SUPPOSED TO FEEL SAFE RIDING THOSE SAME TRAINS?! 🎯 The MTA owes the public an explanation, an investigation, and a plan to prevent this from happening again! 🚨 NEW YORKERS DESERVE SECURITY, NOT EXCUSES! 👇🏾 WHO SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS? #nyc #mta #ny #fyp

Politicians love entertainers who knows little to nothing about their politics.

Suit check with my bro Stephen A at the All Black National Convention... APPROVED ✅ On another note this has been a very productive week and I am motivated and activated! Thanks to Dr. Boyce Watkins for putting together this All Black National Convention! #nyc #ny #allblacknationalconvention

🚨 KATHY HOCHUL, WERE YOU DEBATING BRUCE BLAKEMAN OR DONALD TRUMP?! 🤦🏾‍♂️🗽 New Yorkers tuned into a gubernatorial debate expecting answers about CRIME, IMMIGRATION, HOUSING, UTILITY BILLS, and the COST OF LIVING! Instead, we got a whole lot of DONALD TRUMP! 🎤 Governor, Trump isn’t running for governor of New York! You are! 🎯 Let’s be clear: There’s nothing wrong with criticizing Trump or questioning Bruce Blakeman’s political alliances. But criticizing somebody else’s politics is NOT the same thing as defending your own performance! 💥 TRUMP IS NOT YOUR RÉSUMÉ! And Blakeman doesn’t get a free pass either! New Yorkers deserve RESULTS, ACCOUNTABILITY, and REAL SOLUTIONS—not another political shouting match! 🗽 THIS IS ABOUT NEW YORK, NOT WASHINGTON! 👇🏾 Did Hochul spend too much time talking about Trump, or was his influence on Blakeman a legitimate debate issue?

🚨 EVEN THE SYSTEMS DESIGNED TO SAVE MTA WORKERS’ LIVES ARE RAISING SAFETY CONCERNS! 🚨 Imagine showing up to work and finding your workplace looking like a demolition site! 🤯 Footage from inside an NYC Transit tower shows ceiling debris scattered across the workplace following a reported incident involving a Halon fire-suppression system. ⚠️ The cause remains under investigation, but the images raise SERIOUS questions about infrastructure, maintenance, inspections, and worker safety. 🚇 Transit workers already face dangerous conditions on the tracks. Now we’re questioning the safety of the buildings they work inside! 💰 The MTA continues investing billions in its transit system, but what about the people who keep it operating? At this point, we might need a FEMA-style inspection of transit property! 🌪️ WORKER SAFETY SHOULD BE A PRIORITY, NOT AN AFTERTHOUGHT!
