Spent some time in Iowa and went long on Iowa State’s Audi Crooks. Despite her dominance, she deals with a lot of negativity, especially about her body. But no matter what is said about her, Audi Crooks wears a smile. www.espn.com/womens-colle...
Sonny Burton is set to be executed by the state of Alabama on Thursday. There is a direct line between a government that murders its own citizens and the devaluing of life abroad. The sin has always started at home.
It would be only fair to the reader to say frankly in advance that the attitude of any person toward this story will be distinctly influenced by his theories of the Negro race. If he believes that the Negro in America and in general is an average and ordinary human being, who under given environment develops like other human beings, then he will read this story and judge it by the facts adduced. If, however, he regards the Negro as a distinctly inferior creation, who can never successfully take part in modern civilization and whose emancipation and enfranchisement were gestures against nature, then he will need something more than the sort of facts that I have set down. But this latter person, I am not trying to convince. I am simply pointing out these two points of view, so obvious to Americans, and then without further ado, I am assuming the truth of the first. In fine, I am going to tell this story as though Negroes were ordinary human beings, realizing that this attitude will from the first seriously curtail my audience. W. E. BURGHARDT DU BOIS Atlanta, December, 1934
I'd forgotten how hard the preface to DuBois's "Black Reconstruction" (1934) went...and am saddened by how contemporary it still feels.
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
😢
Once they renamed it department of war we all knew. Stares in Black Woman
Colleges have seen major drop in foreign students enrollment. Result: Student tuition is on the rise for US students. Yes, foreign students' tuition was thus far subsidizing US students.

🚨PERFECT: An economist was asked whether the actual economic data backs up Trump’s claim that the U.S. has the best economy in the world.
His answer: “he’s lying.” This is amazing.

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"
Crow: "Friday night, Trump filmed this tough video where he talked about the cost of war & how hard it's gonna be & how we're gonna lose troops, then he literally went behind the curtain & hosted a million dollar a plate dinner & dance party at Mar-a-Lago. That tells you everything you need to know"
Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..
Alex's mom on his 38th birthday.

This is so so beautiful.
Who all gonna be there: with your host who might not be there.
I know that I sound like a broken record but I think once this society was ok with accepting mass covid deaths just to be able to eat at Applebees then all bets were off.
Congress should be convening tomorrow to start the impeachment process
If we survive this.
How will we narrate the future?
What words will spill out like salt on a table.
Tumbling, scattered seen and unseen?
When we tell this story how will we explain our fear, our discomfort our steady hands and empty soulless posts?
Will we survive to tell this story?
Embarrassment is an under explored emotion. Go out there and make a fool of yourself!
Feel it!
Because everything you ever wanted is on the other side of that feeling!
It will be 90 degrees in Los Angeles today.
Stay cool ya’ll.
