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.
In this economy, I hereby declare, Thanksgiving leftovers can now be eaten, without scorn or ridicule, until midnight Tuesday (Soup stock through March). If you disagree, send funds to cash apps or mind your business.

I feel like most GOP power brokers sit around at their clubs saying, "Just do whatever you want and worry about it later. He is more than easy to manipulate. We'll get him to give you a pardon," then they just guffaw.

I know nothing about this family, but, goodness, didn't this woman go through enough. Please people, make sure you are legally clear about what your wants upon death. Fights like this are so damaging for the soul and healing.

It used to be only activists needed to request their FBI files, which you would receive heavily redacted. Now, with social media, I would recommend everyone do so.

Remember when South Korea took to the streets and removed their President? We can't even stop reposting the nonsense ours baits us with. America is so unserious.

Solutions exist for many issues, health/housing/food, but that would mean the loss of money/social capital for those in power. Black culture is an excellent example. It has always been viewed as bad - Jazz, HipHop, language, style - until power can sort out how to monetize for the masses.

Not every older gay man wants you, but we still want you to survive, thrive and let you know we see you. Most of us did not have that as a point of reference. But do you.
I’ve noticed this too. A lot of men in their 20s love to talk down on gay men in their 40s and 50s, and I honestly don’t get it. I guess my generation is close enough to remember what that generation survived. Also, the way these guys joke about HIV now is not just ignorant, it’s disgusting.

The stock for Campbell's went up considerably today. They do not care about us. They feel they are too big to fail. They know most people won't hear about the news. They'll probably implement DEI again.

The ultimate goal of an autocrat is to make sure you trust absolutely nothing and no one. It is hard to plan any action if you are constantly wondering who you can trust.

It was 10 years ago when he said his health plan would be presented in about two weeks. Anytime he says "in about two weeks" that means just time enough for you to move on from whatever it is he is promising.

A.I will only benefit those in "power," which is why they are dumping so much money into it. It's not merely about the workforce or money. As Trump has shown, muddying the waters of what is real and fake is effective. If you trust (in) nothing truth does not exist. That's the control they want.
