    The genocide of Palestinians from the hands and bombs of Israel and the United States is still fully in motion. Which makes me taking this episode to talk about myself frustrating, but for my own record, I must document what went down. I was the #1 trending topic in the United States after people first lied and said I took sole credit for freeing the American hostage, Natalie Raanan. That never happened. It's a complete fabrication. Quite the opposite, I said I was one of dozens of people that helped behind the scenes. Then the lie pivoted from me saying I took sole credit to people saying I never helped at all and made the whole thing up. Thankfully, my attorneys advised me ahead of time to keep records of every text, DM, and phone call I made about this. Then, yesterday, the Israeli military literally released a video of propaganda about me. All of this tells me one thing: what we are doing to fight for Palestinians is clearly seen as a threat. And we are influencing the hearts and minds of the world. Let me unpack and explain it.

    America is often a very embarrassing place to be from. And for me, yesterday was one of those days where our nation humiliated itself on the world stage when the United States was the ONLY nation in the world that voted against allowing humanitarian aid into Gaza for Palestinians. And then they vetoed it. Let me unpack and explain it.

     Right now, in real-time, we are witnessing ethnic cleansing unfold. We are already knew that this is what it was, but the world's experts all now agree - what Israel is doing to Palestine is ethnic cleansing, genocide, and Apartheid. The United Nations declared that it is an "ethnic cleansing emergency" this weekend. And the United States is funding it. And sending the bombs being used to slaughter women and children.

    Yesterday, almost like a trained actor, Joe Biden looked at the cameras, and said "never in his life," did he think he would see videos and photos of Palestinians behead Israeli babies. And then feigned being traumatized. Only for The White House to admit just a few hours later that he made all of that up. He never saw any such photos or videos. This is SO DANGEROUS.

    You've heard me say this before, but it's VERY hard to know a moment in history when you are living in it. Well, we continue to live in a very peculiar and disturbing time in American history - in the shadows of thousands of people trying to overthrow the American government, Republicans have now cannibalized one of their own, and voted out their own Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy. That has never happened before. And for the next week, or longer, the United States Congress won't even have a Speaker of the House because Republicans, who control the House, don't even have enough votes to select a replacement. It's just another clue at how unstable this place truly is. Let me unpack and explain it.

Tennessee State University, which is one of the most important Black colleges in America, is owed $2.1 BILLION by the state and federal government after a federal research project determined they, and other Black colleges, were systemically underfunded for years. This is the literal definition of systemic racism.
