Please stop sharing the photo of the toddler being handcuffed. That photo has nothing to do with the ICE raids in Chicago. It was a child and their father or other family member playing.

Stop trying to incite Black people. You should have listened to us.

My sister died the day after her 40th birthday due to extreme stress. She took a nap and never woke up.

Nothing is gonna stress me out to that extent. Not a man, not a job, not these bills, and for damn sure not politics. I refuse.

Stress kills.
That’s the real advice for your 30s.

Yall, please take three deep breaths, in through your nose, out through your mouth.

Walk away for a few. Maybe even til tomorrow.

You guys are sniping at each other bad. We’re in GROSSLY stressful times, we’re all feeling it, and showing it too.

You need to self-regulate.

I was thinking about this earlier today; and I think this could be amended to add, what you don’t reap doesn’t wither away…it can grow, propagate, cause failure, etc.

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

Chattel slavery was so bad that when we tell you how bad it in fact was most of y'all shut down and tell us we're making it up and pass laws against us ever telling you how bad it was again because your brains literally cannot handle how bad it in fact was.

Thomas Lecaque @tlecaque.bsky.social · Aug 19

"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.
