Malik shared his thoughts on the recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions. Today we watched what is just the start of this country’s regression. The second the supreme court made that Dobbs decision, I was petrified, and we all should be. Martin said an injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere and that couldn’t be… Continue reading “Just the start of this country’s regression”
Juneteenth: “the government always seeks to pacify the masses”
Juneteenth: a new federal holiday created to mark the day the last enslaved black people in Texas got word they were free. Today I watched the news and saw many public figures come on networks and give their thoughts and praise for today, and I saw a concert being touted as landmark and important. While… Continue reading Juneteenth: “the government always seeks to pacify the masses”
“A Ramadan of many blessings”
Today has been a blessed day. We hosted an all day debate for our toastmasters club and had 12 colleges from across the country come in to debate with us on the topic of continued war in Ukraine, whether or not the constitution has outlived its usefulness, the end to qualified immunity, and whether confrontation… Continue reading “A Ramadan of many blessings”

“I DO NOT want peace”
Malik recently shared some thoughts he had about the murder of Tyre Nichols and the public response. I feel the response has been lackluster, like the response when the Kentucky pigs got off and Louisville didn’t do anything. It’s really saddening to me. I’ve been enraged being in here unable to do anything. I… Continue reading “I DO NOT want peace”
“A little about me”
In a letter from November 2021, Malik shares a short history and biography of himself. He had yet to be sentenced and was in pretrial detention. A little about me, I’m originally from Chicago. I moved around a lot out there, from Bolingbrook in the west suburbs to Cal City in the south side,… Continue reading “A little about me”
