In the cycle between LGBTQ+ inclusion and exile, you can see the same signposts in either direction. Whether the queer community is on the rise or whether rights are being extinguished step by step, three bellwether issues are “no promo homo” laws, military service and marriage equality. Current news and archival reports from March 2000 illustrate the point.

And in NewsWrap: Ghana’s horrific anti-queer bill is being reintroduced by ten member of Parliament, Germany’s government is cautioning its transgender and nonbinary citizens about traveling to the United States, Lesotho’s government and leading queer advocacy group deny U.S, President Donald Trump’s accusation that they received $8 million in LGBTQ+ aid, Trump’s State of The Union address goes on to condemn nonexistent transgender mice and “wokeness,” a bill to ban trans women and girls from competing in federally funded school and college female sports fails in the U.S. Senate, more than 11,000 people took over Oxford Street in Sydney’s queer Darlinghurst neighborhood for the Australian city’s 47th annual Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade, and more international LGBTQ+ news reported this week by David Hunt and Melanie Keller (produced by Brian DeShazor).

BLACK ART
By Amiri Baraka

Poems are bullshit unless they are
teeth or trees or lemons piled
on a step. Or black ladies dying
of men leaving nickel hearts
beating them down. Fuck poems
and they are useful, wd they shoot
come at you, love what you are,
breathe like wrestlers, or shudder
strangely after pissing. We want live
words of the hip world live flesh &
coursing blood. Hearts Brains
Souls splintering fire. We want poems
like fists beating niggers out of Jocks
or dagger poems in the slimy bellies
of the owner-jews. Black poems to
smear on girdlemamma mulatto bitches
whose brains are red jelly stuck
between 'lizabeth taylor's toes. Stinking
Whores! we want "poems that kill."
Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
with tongues pulled out and sent to Ireland. Knockoff
poems for dope selling wops or slick halfwhite
politicians Airplane poems, rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr . . .tuhtuhtuhtuhtuhtuhtuhtuhtuhtuh
. . .rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr . . . Setting fire and death to
whities ass.

Look at the Liberal
Spokesman for the jews clutch his throat
& puke himself into eternity . . . rrrrrrrr
There's a negroleader pinned to
a bar stool in Sardi's eyeballs melting
in hot flame Another negroleader
on the steps of the white house one
kneeling between the sheriff's thighs
negotiating coolly for his people.
Aggh . . . stumbles across the room . . .
Put it on him, poem. Strip him naked
to the world! Another bad poem cracking
steel knuckles in a jewlady's mouth
Poem scream poison gas on beasts in green berets
Clean out the world for virtue and love,
Let there be no love poems written
until love can exist freely and
cleanly. Let Black people understand
that they are the lovers and the sons
of warriors and sons
of warriors Are poems & poets &
all the loveliness here in the world
 
We want a black poem. And a
Black World.
Let the world be a Black Poem
And Let All Black People Speak This Poem
Silently
or LOUD

From executive orders to state laws, elements of ESG are being transformed.

DJ Isis Beats a.k.a. DJ Isyss Beats: The Evolution of Sound

(Also known as RemixxedRadio on Twitter, The Listening Lounge on Facebook, and Blakquemuddartz on YouTube)

If there's one thing about DJ Isis Beats, it’s that she’s always innovating, always evolving, always pushing the boundaries of sound. She ain’t just making music—she’s crafting an experience, a movement, a whole new way of hearing and feeling music.

She’s been in this game, from playing classical instruments to making raw beats in real-time, from rocking underground house parties to curating soundscapes that hit straight to the soul. Her approach isn’t just about playing tracks—it’s about creating something fresh, something legendary, something uniquely hers.

The Art of the Craft: More Than Just a DJ

Anybody can play a song.
Anybody can mix a beat.
But not everybody can create a sound.

Isis is an artist, a producer, an architect of music. She’s not just in the mix—she’s building a whole new frequency.

And now, she’s taking things to a whole other level.

AI as an Instrument: Like Roger Troutman With the Talkbox

Technology has always been part of music. From synths to drum machines, from samplers to autotune, from vocoders to talkboxes—the greats knew how to take a tool and make it their own.

That’s the vision.

AI? It’s just another instrument in the mix.

Like Roger Troutman with the voice box.

Like Herbie Hancock with the synthesizer.

Like J Dilla pushing the limits of an MPC.

It’s about crafting a signature sound, bending it, shaping it, and making it something no one else can replicate. AI ain’t about shortcuts—it’s about enhancing creativity, opening up new possibilities, and bringing a vision to life in ways that weren’t possible before.

Isis gets it—and she plans to flip it, twist it, and reinvent it in a way that’s all her own.

The Grind: From the Underground to the Universe

This journey wasn’t handed to her. She’s had to build, break, rebuild, and keep pushing.

She’s lost equipment, time, opportunities—but never lost the drive.

She’s had to hustle her music through SoundCloud, Audiomack, Podomatic, while still fighting to break into platforms like Spotify and Apple Music.

She’s worked with limited tools and still made something real—but now, she’s leveling up.

And she ain’t just trying to be good at one thing. She’s trying to master them all.

Rap? She’s going in.

Singing? She’s elevating.

Reggae, jazz, electronic, hip-hop? She’s blending it all.

Production, engineering, filmmaking, promotion? She’s crafting a full experience.

This isn’t just about one lane. She’s building an empire.

For the People Who Are Listening

She’s not here to pop up out of nowhere with some polished, industry-fed product—she wants you to experience the journey in real-time.

She wants her audience to see the growth, hear the progression, and be part of something bigger than just a song or a beat.

And she appreciates every single listener, every supporter, every person who’s rocking with her through the evolution.

Her old pages—Podomatic, SoundCloud, Audiomack—will always be up, showing where she’s been. But where she’s going? That’s a whole different level.

The new website is coming, the sound is expanding, and the vision is clearer than ever.

Because at the end of the day?

It’s not about the tools. It’s about the artist who knows how to use them.
And DJ Isis Beats is about to take it all to the next level.

Thanks for listening. Much love.
