An UPstander is someone who sees something and takes a stand. Here we will explore issues relating to social justice. Some posts will be motivational, some educational. Some times I may drop a rhyme or poem! The goal is to share stories and opinions that help us build a human family. Share your thoughts and share with others!

So many pundits are saying that if #trump was really interested in reducing crime, he would send the troops to Southeast DC and not areas like Georgetown. As someone who lived in Southeast for over 20 years and is still a homeowner there, I am in Southeast weekly and I am connected still to the great work happening in DC. Southeast needs more services, not more police. Southeast has the highest concentration of youth but the schools get the least amount of funding. Even local museums are closing because of #trump budget cuts. More policing doesn’t end crime. Social services and partnerships do. It’s like people are saying don’t occupy the nice parts of DC, just Southeast and its’ really unfortunate.

I so appreciated what @SymoneSandersTownsend said to Joe Scarborough on #morningjoe. Joe lives in the 1990s when talking about DC. He mentions former (deceased) mayor Marion Barry more than he mentioned the current mayor Muriel Bowser. I’ve never heard him say her name. Furthermore, I drove through DC last night and saw exactly what I expected. I saw more police in the nicer areas of DC like around the monuments and NO presence in the hood and poorer areas of DC. This is about protecting some people who live, work, and visit DC from the rest of us. #symonesanderstownsend was right to challenge Joe on his views.

I appeared on the Capitol Review show with Mark Hall to discuss the restoring of confederate statues in Washington, DC as well as Arlington National Cemetery. It’s part of Pete Hegseth & Trump’s plane to make sure that America’s racial wallpaper continues to resurface across the United States and beyond.

#petehegseth announced that he is restoring statues of #confederatearmy generals. No country honors losers of wars like the United States. This is the latest proof that #trump is focused on installing a White supremacist presidency. Given his colossal failures in other areas of his presidency, all he has left to fall on is the #culturewars and White supremacy, which is accompanied by his removal of the stories of non-White people from history books. This is what racism looks like and if you still support him after ALL of this, what does it say about you?

People often ask when are the democrats going to show some fight. I believe many have been fighting, but the manner in which democratic legislators have fled #texas coupled with the democratic governors who have embraced them and have expressed interest in redrawing their own maps is a fight that is necessary to save this democratic experiment. #trump seeks to rule through his intense bullying and we cannot allow that to happen!

#shannonsharpe did not have the same discipline that he has for his physique that he should have had for his relationships. It’s wrong to throw him into categories of people like R. Kelly or Cosby. At the same time, his inability to not care for the “ick” factor of an older Black man dating a teenage White girl while working for @Disney was the big mistake. I find the language of the settlement about them being in a consensual relationship suspect as well. What do you think?

#trump is throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. He has brought up charging #obama, #oprah, #kamalaharris and #beyonce for various reasons, including treason. All this to distract from the #epsteinfiles and his connection. When all else fails, Trump will point the finger at Black people to scapegoat. I am glad that America is not falling for it…at least not yet.

Have you noticed that many people that support #israel are no longer saying these 7 words? I think that is something that Netanyahu should pay attention as support for the war on #gaza continues. More networks and shows that have been very pro-Israel like #morningjoe are using terms like #genocide or “unraveling genocide”, and more. This was unheard of in the wake of the tragic events of October 7th. The forced starvation occurring in Gaza is turning out to be a tipping point that may lead Israel to losing much of the international support it has garnered since that day. What do you think?
