As if people don't remember what football and its (mostly) white fans did to Black athletes just taking a knee during NFL games?! What is the plan to support these athletes if they make this move?

You know, I’m really tired of ego selfies of men at the gym. Get a life, and stop posting yourself posing in the gym mirror with your phone. Show me your diploma with ‘magna cum laude’ next to your name. Show me you volunteer at an animal shelter every month. Show me you took your mom to dinner.

STREET PROTEST- CIVIL RIGHTS My wife and I hope to see all of you on the street tomorrow to protest our corrupt Supreme Court ruling destroying civil rights, taking our country back 200 years, generations of work and progress destroyed by 6 racists. May 16th, 2026 National Protest Civil Rights

Today is the LAST DAY to vote EARLY ahead of Tuesday’s primary elections and elections for the Supreme Court of Georgia, the Georgia Court of Appeals, and Superior Court. Make a plan. Go vote!

The confederacy rises, like they've long vowed to do. So we're just going to have to beat their asses again. No forgiveness this time.

If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.
