Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

just a reminder: Saying "my bad" and dropping something when you misread a situation is a viable strategy and you will likely feel better. You can just let those fight or flight hormones disperse. You can take some deep breaths and move on. 🫡

Last night’s incident was closer on the spectrum to the Clinton era “assassination attempt” when a guy opened fire on the White House with an AK-47 from the public sidewalk than it was to Butler, where the president was actually in danger. It was just a Hail Mary at the first line of security.

For many Trump cabinet members the tragedy of last night’s incident at the WHCD is that the room was evacuated before drinks were served.

My wife just shared NASA's wake-up playlist for the Artemis II crew (Young & Sick, Freddy Jones Band, Chappel Roan, Mandisa and TobyMac) and it made me realize everyone on that ship is GenX. We may never have the White House, but the moon is OURS!

ICE was checking IDs at the Atlanta airport today. The.guy said "your DL photo is super light, so facial recognition might not work." I snapped back "that's so you know not to illegally deport me." His buddy said "we can find a reason" and NOTHING could be more on-brand for an encounter with ICE.
