With all due respect, Miss Hill, you know I love you like a little sister. You may be right about Donald Trump. But if he called me, you, or anybody on this app and said, “Let’s sit down and talk about the needs of the Black community,” I believe we have a responsibility to go and make those needs clear. Our people deserve that advocacy. I don’t just talk on this app. When I went to get $20 million, $16 million, and $5 million for parks and a high school football stadium, along with $3 million for my youth program, I had to work with people in city government, the county, and the school board—including Republicans who love and support Donald Trump. If I refused to have those conversations, what would I have gotten done for my people? It’s easy to talk on this app. When you’re in these streets seeing how people are suffering, you understand why every opportunity to get resources matters. Having a conversation doesn’t mean giving somebody a pass. It means bringing our needs directly to the people with the power to address them. And while we’re talking about standing up for our community, I didn’t see that same energy from a lot of y’all when Debbie Wasserman Schultz ran for a historically Black congressional seat. We can have that conversation another time, because I do have a problem with the people who sat back and said nothing.

goddammit, man. schools been getting shot up my whole life and we ain't done nothing as a nation to stop it. I feel like every time I read headlines like this, a part of my soul withers away. 💔💔💔💔
