I just can't with this guy. I've never been poor, but I have been very broke for an extended period and the thing is: being poor is very expensive. By design. People like this guy do not know what they are talking about.

Happening now at the Broadview, IL ICE facility: waiting for a press conference on the story of Sundas "Sunny" Naqvi, a US citizen who was reportedly detained by federal immigration agents at O'Hare Airport Thursday and ended up released from a detention facility in Wisconsin early Saturday morning.

Do you think he has to avoid people with high blood cholesterol? I'm overthinking. Probably doesn't matter.

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

Watched this eulogy with my 99 yr old mom. She said, "It's so nice to see him." My Rev Jackson memory: listening to WGCI (Tom Joyner) driving to work. Jackson is in the studio. Tom mentioned a hospitalized Luther Vandross and asked for a prayer. Jackson said, "Put your hand on the radio." I did.

the woman sitting behind her right shoulder looks like she wants to blink out an SOS but instead all she can do is fight to keep her eyeballs in her head and clench her jaw so her soul doesn't escape.

You'd think I laughed less upon the second viewing, but no.

Poetry byΒ Jenna Wysong Filbrun Edna Winti Β  CC A Salvation of Turtles The same day I carry the hurt-winged monarch on the sleeve of my yellow sweatshirt to the cover of the stonecrop in the front garden, the snapping turtles...

"A deep red snapdragon
appears in the garden and opens its mouth
as I crawl inside.

Yes, I am imperfect.
The rich petals are like velvet on my feet.
I gather dust in the throat of itβ€”

a bigger life than the busy one,
if by big you mean awake,
and by life you mean all of us."

My strong feelings about Jerry Reinsdorf just got stronger seeing this: NBC reportedly hiring Jason Benetti as lead MLB play-by-play announcer. IYKYK.

This photo is always 3D to me. He reflects exactly what he is and what he represents. He couldn't hide it if he wanted to which is a good thing, I guess.
