What if yo wheels ain’t made for the high road?

hell nawl,

it aint gone hit the fan until it affects them. Some people are just mentally gone

I really do wonder if ANY of the people who told us we were “fear-mongering” last year… have changed their minds at all since that time…

Since we passed the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have tried over and over to repeal it. And over and over, they’ve failed — in part because millions of people now depend on the ACA for quality, affordable health care.

At some point… we gone have to fight back. Not talk back. Not think back. Not clap back. Fight.

Childhood memories unlocked. I loved virtua fighter growing up… then Tekken came along and honestly just… took the 3D fighter style games to the next level artistically and stylistically.

Texas gerrymandering is about racism.

Fewer districts for Black and Brown communities. More power for white Texans. It’s voter suppression by design, and it fuels voter apathy by making people feel like their voices don’t matter. That’s the point.

A government could be funded by another government to annihilate an entire group of people not enough for us to all be concerned, loudly? Are many silent because they can not feel the hunger, the rumbles, or the hear from here or do they simply feel helpless?

Would they try to make the people who challenge it believe that they are wrong for calling the atrocities what they are? And for calling the governments perpetuating those atrocities what they are? Are we not witnessing the extinction of people in real time? Is the prospect that

I can not help but wonder how people would have responded if they could have witnessed through video and photo in real time The Transatlantic Slave Trade, Trail of Tears, or the Holocaust- would they be silent, would they feel helpless, would they speak up? Would they justify it?

I did not witness the Transatlantic Slave Trade, I did not the Trail of Tears, I did not witness the Holocaust- but reading about them all made it clear to me how viciously inhumane they all were. I SEE Palestinians in Gaza being starved & annihilated & it’s ruthless.

Silence is the only thing keeping you “free”. The danger is in believing the lie for long enough to become susceptible to the truth. We are not free- we are just in different parts of the same camp- waiting in line.

The illusion is freedom- the trick is believing that they need building and bars to cage us when it is clear that words scribbled on paper and enacted by those who are willing to be complicit in carrying out the threat of those words are more than enough- especially when convinced that

At that point we exist at the will of the machine and only so long as the machine finds us more useful than it does problematic.

If you hide or feel you have to, if the threat of imprisonment, retaliation, or even death is the outcome of fighting against injustice is a plausible outcome- then there is no way to believe that is a system which is free or liberated.

If you exist in a place where you are not free to speak, free to think, free to exist, free to believe, a place where you are forced to labor, subverted to a ruling class, forced to marry or remain married, forced to have children, too afraid to fight back out of fear.

When we said they are building concentration camps in the United States- it was correct but not completely accurate. They are turning the United States into a concentration camp.

Having a person leading the executive branch who ignores the Supreme Court, Congress, and The Constitution at any given moment- seems like a dangerous prospect… I mean what could possibly go wrong if that ever happened, right?

Ted Cruz when getting interviewed about Iran. 😆😮‍💨

lol That Mf Ted Cruz said oh I thought you was talkin bout Nato Jenkins. 🤣

Hook, Mrs. Doubtfire, What Dreams May Come, Jumanji.

I’m really sitting up in the house at 3:30 in the morning listening to yacht rock and watching BET awards clips while editing content 😆😮‍💨.

I just started watching The Handmaid’s Tale last week… and it’s crazy as hell to be watching something that is supposed to be post-apocalyptic and dystopian that actually seems more like today’s reality than it does science fiction.

I like Blue Sky better but I be having to go engage our other 40,000 followers on the other platform since it’s taking a a while to grow over here 😮‍💨.

This is definitely a Knicks vs pacers series that is worthy of the 90s rivalry through the first 3 games.

Sometimes Moms make a lot of shit that ain’t that easy look easy.

The type of thing that- when you’re actually consciously aware of- you know you can’t be still or silent or oblivious to.

Did you ever think you would be living during a time where we would be witnessing a group of People being literally wiped from the earth? It’s a disgusting feeling. Unnerving.
