I don’t buy second hand crowns for the same reason I don’t buy second hand wedding rings. Who wants all that bad juju sitting on their head? Hard pass.

The same should be said for every state- holding up congress has deprived all of us from having representation.
If this was the French Revolution we would be meeting at the tennis courts.

Got buried in the news this weekend, but President Jesus said the F word on CNN at like 2pm in the afternoon. The next day he posted a poop-filled scat video, but tell Me more about the dignity of the office of the presidency.

What a responsible person we have as the White House Press Secretary.
Her mom should be proud.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

Well…During the French Revolution, after being locked out of their meeting hall, the delegates moved to a nearby indoor tennis court at Versailles, known as the Salle du Jeu de Paume, where they took the Tennis Court Oath on June 20, 1789.
Does that count?

This isn’t about “school choice.” It’s about control. Defund public schools, funnel tax dollars to private Christian academies, and shut out kids who can’t pay. Education becomes a commodity. Ignorance becomes policy.
