I was somewhat familiar of Ed Sullivan, but have newfound respect for him and the platform he gave so many performers after watching Sunday Best. Now onto Hurricane Katrina: Race Against Time. I wish I got to visit New Orleans pre-Katrina.

I'm so disappointed to not see more organizations speaking out and up. Stakeholders--employees, donors, program beneficiaries, etc.-- are watching. When organizations stay silent, we'll remember those who stepped up and those who didn't.

Silence is a communications tactic, sometimes strategic, sometimes not. However, when you stay silent for too long, others fill that void. As a PR and comms professional working in the nonprofit healthcare space for over 15 years now, the silence is deafening

Met an estemmed community activist tonight. She’s 87 years young and knows about Google Workspace. She told me “I was on it” when I was pitching my ideas to a group of my village elders. 🥹

Don’t play into his manufactured spectacle. I commend my state and local elected leaders for playing hardball. Stay vigilant and be safe. Protect Angelenos.

Seeing what’s happening on TV vs here on the streets vs notifications I’m getting from my job (in DTLA) is interesting. ICE was reportedly spotted in Leimert Park. Definitely don’t believe the narrative the 🍊 is pushing.

- Trump placed the National Guard under federal control (Title 10), bypassing state authority a rare and provocative move that violates the Tenth Amendment unless the Insurrection Act is formally invoked.

- Video footage reviewed by The Guardian and Washington Post showed flash-bangs, tear gas, and rubber bullets deployed against protesters without clear provocation.
- Protesters were often seen dispersing or shielding themselves, not advancing aggressively.

Facts:
- Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass both publicly stated they did not request National Guard assistance.
- Under normal circumstances, National Guard deployment requires state approval unless the Insurrection Act is invoked, which Trump has not done.

Watching Trump and Elon fall out is like watching two thieves argue over who got caught on camera.

Newsflash: it was both of y’all.

The great thing about this Elon and Donald fight is that it’s escalating by the minute.

By 7pm Elon will post that Donald wears a wig.

By 8pm Donald will threaten Elon with deportation.

By 9pm Musk will have posted proof that he hacked the election.

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long.

Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

Found this discarded on the street in front of my aunt’s house. Gonna keep it. Hell, I think I should frame this. To the student E. Goodwin, you should’ve held onto this gem, but I’ll hold onto it for you in case you’re looking for it.
