I’m not a federal government employee but here are my ‘five bullets’ of what I ‘accomplished’ last week:

1. Pissed off JD Vance

2. Pissed off Elon Musk

3. Taped a hilarious convo with Hasan Minhaj (out next month)

4. Taped a great convo with Jemele Hill

5. Drank more than one chocolate milkshake.

I’ve been absolutely terrified about starting a Substack. Wondering if my thoughts were really worthy of such a platform. But after leaving elected office - being one of a handful of Black politicians in a very white state - I just got to a point where I felt I needed to keep bearing witness.

And so here I am, with my thoughts on politics, power, and the revolution our times demand. I hope you enjoy! 🙏🏽✊🏽
