Since our President has chosen to speak so ill about many of our US cities, specifically calling them hellscapes, I figured I would find people I know that are from there and live there and ask them "Is your city in fact a hellscape?" Today we talk to Cxffeeblack about his beloved hellscape: Memphis.

The political landscape can be confusing, but it doesn't have to be. If you've survived junior high, lived in an urban city or understand gang life, you can understand geopolitics. Join rapper and author Propaganda and his friends as they use their hood-knowledge to break down the political scene.

Black people, POCs or anyone from a marginalized group share a collective sigh whenever we hear some one say of the USA, “This is not who we are!” In our experience, this is exactly who we are. Today we talk about the recruitment tactics of ICE and how it's just like the tactics the LAPD used in the 50s and 60s.

Back when we were still willing to defend Kanye but had some concerns, Kanye gave us the gem "I JUST TOLD YOU! I'M A GOD" when asked who he thought he was. Well, JD vance has a way of just saying in the most matter of fact tones some of the darkest workings of this administration. In his interview on Fox News with Jessie Waters, he just blatantly says, we are going to take all of Venezuela's natural resources and we are reclaiming our role as bully of the block.

The USA can't seem to leave Central and South America alone. The reason for that is the same reason why East LA is the way it's always been. Today we teach y'all about the Monroe Doctrine.
