Yes, indeed.

Not sure who needs to hear this but an open door is not always an invitation.

Now is a good time to watch/rewatch “Small Axe.”

We should continue to take note of what the monks are willing to endure and consider what we can each do.

Politicians "warning" Trump is like two people moving in a circle saying, "Hit me first." If we gonna fight, you don't have to tell me to hit you. Before those words even come out, you've already been hit and we'll just have to see how that plays out.

Someone seeing how much they can get away with before you do something is not only manipulation it is abuse. Even when you do something about it, they won't believe you. They will reassess, then try it again. Be consistent with your dissent.

The true Goat was born on this day. That begs the question, What are you willing to give up?

Today Michelle Obama turns 62. A wonderfully thoughtful person, she is exactly who she thinks she is, because she knows who she is and who she is not. That is always the work. (Side note: She is holding her shoes in her hands.)

I've lived in countries where the government shut down the internet and phones at their leisure. It appears, I will be adding another to that list.

The ever inspiring Helen Folasade Adu turns 67 today. There is celebrity. There is fame. Then, there is Sade. That elusive old friend you can reach out to, for words to get you through, in any situation. She is always there. Tried and true.

This is why I will always side with athletes and not the "just shut up and play" crowd.

That job don't care about you, so if you're not fighting back because you don't want to lose that job, good luck.

MLK, Jr's last speech is often edited, but when you listen to the entire 43 minutes, the lessons remain robust. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gC6q...

Billionaires are not wealthy. They are vulgar.

To think anything you send out is private is as clueless as thinking Trump dying will magically make things better. The fight should always happen before the issues arise, not after the fact. We all assume someone else will do it. That has always been where this nation has gone wrong.

So many wounded boys, walking around, thinking they are men.

The way I would have stalked Bruce Lee. He would have had to kick the breath out of me. Then again, I would have probably looked up and smiled, which would have surely made him get the authorities involved.

The Nazis learned from American slavers. What is happening in America is a reminder of that. The difference, now, is there is a bounty on everyone's head, not just Black people. What is the same, slave hunters still enjoy rounding people up, for profit.

Be the safe space you claim to be.

I'm all for impeachment, but if it will not lead to a vote for removal it seems a bit like end of show comments, by those involved in the production, so the viewing audience can get a behind the scenes look.

Dear politicians, Stop saying, "How are we gonna pay for it?" Anything can be paid for, if it is a priority. Y'all need new tricks. We can see the card up your sleeve.

Amongst ourselves, Black, Brown, and Asian people are having truthful conversations about what is true about this nation and the world. White people won't hear it because they don't support our thoughts, merely steal from them. But, now, we are only gonna let you steal so much before having to pay.

Power has always been about who will play along with the lie. And don't think you're above it. In some way, everyone plays along with the lie. That's the job. That's capitalism. And here we are.

I hope Montero is doing well. Fame is a sort of isolation that can prove challenging to one's health.

Once they started charging people to put air in their tires we were doomed.

None of what he is doing is to distract from the Epstein files. Everyone keeps wanting to find a reason for his vile actions. The reason is he is vile. The files do not frighten him.

I hope the "Heated Rivalry" stars get a huge bonus. They are working those boys, like they Cynthia and Ariana, and I know they were paid very little. Free things don't pay the bills.

Since the Proud Boys lost the use of their name to a Black church, they rebranded as ICE.

Trump is a social media troll, yet so many of you fall for and repost it. That'll show him. Or, perhaps, many of you are trolls too.

Still no international calls to boycott the Olympics and World Cup? I guess people will wait until they open, add to the media narrative. Won't really matter. The wealthy will have already been paid for all the contracts they received. At that point, you could burn it down for all they care.

Leo DiCaprio's public person is merging somewhere in between Jack Nicholson and his "Django Unchained" character. It's unnerving.

A.I support just told me, "I'm still learning, hopefully I will be able to help you next time. I will pass you on to a human." They may not be real, but their nerve sure is.

These big corporations are outsourcing new payment portals, making it more difficult for freelancers to get paid in a timely manner. Navigating them and the things they ask for becomes job, you are not being paid do. It's like checking out your own groceries.

It's 293 days to the midterm elections. It's amazing that some of you think we can wait that long before we act.

A malignant narcissist will notice every detail, except for what they messed up. Even that they will try to pin on you.

Ryan Coogler/Micheal B Jordan and Jaylen Brown don't care about white approval. They are excellent no matter what. That power dynamic shift frightens those that think they are in control. You didn't give us sports and entertainment. We took it and now we're trying to stop it from being stolen.

"You taught me how to survive," isn't always a compliment.

Women get the same degrees as men. Pay the same tuition and expenses. Have the same student loans, yet get paid less for the same work. But, somehow, we're bombarded with articles about how bad things are for white men. That's nasty work.

What IShowspeed is sending out to the world, during his trip to Africa, is revolutionary. With all the horribleness going on in the world, it is important to recognize the many extraordinary things happening. When that energy rises and merges, positive change will occur. Use your platform wisely.

He will not stop until we are in the streets, so he can show strong control. It will take our being in the streets to stop him.

At this juncture, we should just let the sports commentators take over the news and the news commentators take over sports. Mix things us a bit. It's all nonsense anyway.

The way I don't pull out my blue passport until the last possible second tells you just how the world views us.

We're playing musical chairs, ignoring the fact that corporate overlords are controlling the music, amused by our fighting for that last seat.

It's no longer merely politics. It's war. The sooner we realize that the better. Of course, some are y'all will claim bone spurs.

A lot of people are talking about the midterms. That's 294 days away. Do you know how much damage can be done by then? Much of what is going on will never be rolled back, no matter who is in office. Unprecedented becomes precedent. But yeah, let's wait 294 to see what happens.

Whenever they try to convince you white men are being replaced, pay close attention to who gets to speak first after a filmTV show wins an award, particularly TV/films about non-white people.

As far as I'm concerned, ICE ain't shit unless two (three) gay hockey players are skating on it. And we all know, hockey players ain't afraid to fight.

The new Civil War started on Jan. 6th, 2021. The Confederates were never punished either. Here we are.

"Haunt Me," by Sade is grown folk music. It's not for children.

It seems there is a GoFundMe, already well over 6 figures, for that ICE POS. This does not surprise me. Murder has always been profitable, for white people.
