They cry “free speech” when it’s hate, violence, and lies. But the second we tell the truth or call them out, suddenly we’ve gone too far. That, my friends, is what you call selective outrage.

Today, we honor the lives lost and the courage of the first responders who were impacted on September 11, 2001. We remember not only the tragedy of that day, but the deep scars it left on families, communities, and our nation.

We are not the same. Reminds me of celebrities during COVID. Their cheesy, "we're all in this together", commercials. Don't try to motivate me from your mansion.

Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

What would this even mean? “Take control?” It’s a memorial, what is there to take control of??

It’s the first week of school for many—a time that should be filled with joy, not grief. Those children in Minnesota were at Mass when their lives were stolen. My heart goes out to all impacted by this act of violence. Gun violence has no place in our schools, our churches, or our communities.

The DOJ failed to secure a felony indictment against a man who threw a sandwich at a federal agent in protest of Trump's D.C. crackdown

So stop the pretense that Trump is about helping ANY segment of Americans.

Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."

I power walk a mile in 17 mins on the treadmill. With elevation. If they can’t run fast enough to catch a fleeing person aren’t they more likely to shoot them?

Sun enters Virgo today + Gate 59: it’s time to get real about who you're merging with: physically, emotionally, creatively. No more faking intimacy. Virgo demands clean lines; Gate 59 cracks open what’s fake. Build bonds that do something.

The #NAACP town halls come amid the Texas GOP's redistricting battle, in which House Republicans approved a congressional map that secures them five additional seats.

The only thing I can say about this paragraph is read it. Sit with it. Read it again. @michaelharriot.bsky.social

MY GOD!! I was reporting on the active shooter situation at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga earlier TODAY. Now, there’s an active shooter on campus at Villanova University. Please seek safety and shelter-in-place. When will this madness end?

They’ve tried to erase us for centuries. Didn’t work then, won’t work now. Black history IS American history.

Filmore Brown worked 7 days a week for over two decades to pay off his Brooklyn house. Now, he's losing his home over an unpaid water bill that he says he knew nothing about. “It was stolen from me”
