I have no hate in my heart. I don’t understand hate. When I say, “white people,” I’m speaking of the structure and the destruction inherent in whiteness. You may not have contributed to both, but you can’t help but contribute to one. Your being is a part of the structure. Change begins there.
Be sure to check for expiration dates on food products. These companies are trying to get every cent, no matter what.

Dry heat used to warm homes makes it easier for viruses to enter. Have you pulled out/gotten your humidifier? Getting sick is never good, but under this administration it can be deadly.

It's officially, "Where is that baby's hat?" season.

I feel like it might be time for us to start putting money aside for bail funds. I don't remember a time we have had cold weather demonstrations, but I don't think we cannot afford to wait until warm weather. This chaos has too many layers, making it a cold world. What are you willing do?

So, what I think I hear you saying is, "Black people move culture."

If you don't know what is true, it gives you more of a excuse not to fight. We're getting closer to that everyday. As intended.

Like did I even type this or did the app do it for me?

At least the Dems had Biden tap out. Reagan and Trump are the same; both on set, playing a role. At least Nancy loved Ronnie. Melania, not so much. Like everyone else, she is waiting for it to be over too. Although, one more post-nup change and she gets a bonus.

It upsets me that Diddy abusing women wasn't enough for people to condemn him. They had to see that he a POS to men too. That's extremely telling. Still, it should be noted, none of this would be coming out had Cassie not been brave enough to say enough. A woman did that. Not men.

I know one thing, Dr Jocelyn Elders would have let Trump have all the heat. Even Clinton didn't know what to do with her. She's still alive. She deserves her flowers.

The only thing I miss about baseball is the fights. When those thick, they do be thick, boys clear the benches it's full testosterone. No other sport compares. Hockey players don't even throw down like that. Y'all think it's the steroids? Sir, you know that ball hitting that big ol ass didn't hurt.

"Hosting the Olympics/World Cup is "great for the local economy."
But more so for the wealthy. They don't mention small businesses shut down due to streets being closed or neighborhoods" rezoned" to build new sites, or the homeless and others arrested. Start international boycott protests. NOW.

People are arguing what can be called breakfast food? Eat what you want. It was all marketing, so every industry could have a turn. Yes, it might provide energy "to start your day," but breakfast is meant to push out poo from the day before, to get your digestive system working properly. Eat up.

Fights, riots and wars will be started due to A.I. Facts will come later. As intended. Chaos and uncertainty is what they want so they can show strong control.

Social Media Director is going to be one of this highest paying jobs in politics. Facts will not really matter. It will be about how well you can entertain, troll, and hold our attention. Plus, if they kill off enough old people, think of all the money they will save not having to run TV ads.

So, what I think I hear you saying is they lied, just like their leader.
No, New York City’s wealthiest are not fleeing the city after Mamdani’s win
Conservatives warned of a mass exodus if the democratic socialist won, but experts, and property data, paint a very different picture

This song had generational impact. It was groundbreaking in that MTV aired the video, which, at the time, was controversial. Contrary to popular belief, I do not believe it is easier for young gay people today. Tech has merely allowed them to know they are not the only ones. Onward.

Grocery stores will put items on sale, hoping you won't complain or notice, while acclimating you to the fact, the serving size is smaller. Then, the price will go up, not to the regular price, but higher. Record profits are not enough. They need more, while we get less.
December 7, 2025 at 5:01 PM
Are the things you are not willing to give up truly more important that the things you are? As tech advances, it will become harder, than it already is, to answer that question.

They don't want to acknowledge him. They still consider him a treat to the system. He does it his own way. Never forget, the scouting reports warned teams against drafting him because they deemed him "too intelligent." That tells you all you need to know.
Sort of sad that it has taken until his 10th NBA season, after already scoring 12,000 career points, being a 4x All Star, and winning an NBA Championship (with Finals MVP and ECF MVP along the way) for some people to realize just how good at playing basketball Jaylen Brown is.

I know Cynthia Erivo is so happy to not have to speak to the press for a minute. I can only imagine the number of times she had to answer the same stupid ass questions, mainly from white "journalists." I imagine those fingernails wanted to spring into action on many occasion.

How much do you think the exit package will be for Clarence Thomas to resign so Trump can appoint a younger Justice?

Whether the Netflix/Warner Bros deal goes through, unlikely, Netflix has basically shut down WB from doing anything until the approval decision is made. A business tactic, often used, is acquire the competition, silence them, so the attention is all on you. A lot of egos at play on this one.

Corporations/billionaires are well into plans for the L.A World Cup and Olympics, which is why need to start international protests to call for a boycott NOW. Protesting after they open will be too late. Billions in contracts will have already been made. The wealthy made wealthier. Long game.

Drug commercials be like, "Don't take this if allergic to its ingredients." Sir, it's not that simple. I do not have a chemistry degree. It's not like I can read the label and it is something simple and I can say, "Oh, it has peanuts, can't take it."
