Now I know what ICE will tell the world when I am taken

I was born during my parents' tour of Germany

My dad joined to escape segregation in North Carolina

I joined, too

There's only a handful of countries they can send me to where I won't be killed for MY service...

“Over the next two weeks, she received two separate notifications from UPS that her personal mementos had not cleared customs and as a result had been ‘disposed of’ by UPS.”

UPS is 'disposing of' U.S.-bound packages over customs paperwork problems

Shifting Trump tariffs have created a nightmare for UPS, as thousands of packages from overseas pile up at its hubs while they await customs clearance.

It's great to wake up to the news that Trump did not win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Happy Friday indeed! 😉

LMAOOOOO

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money

Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.

I think this is because of old cultural tropes...

The Color Purple had a sappic relationship between Suge & Ms Celie that was seen as empowering while the inverse was seen as true for relationships between men

Petey Wheatstraw The Devil's Son-in-Law was one we had on bootleg that you might want to check out... just as dated...

It makes perfect sense

I have similar ranking over time for Black characters in earlier mainstream movies

Better to be the villain than the throwaway character who got "fridged" in the first 5 min

Perry: The federal government is "temporarily enjoined from ordering the federalization and deployment of the National Guard of the United States within Illinois."

That's it. Thanks again for following.

I just found out that Pastor James Manning threw his hat into the ring as a 'write-in' candidate for NYC Mayor.

Yes, THAT Pastor Manning- famous for his flaming butthole sermon.

"Ahh lightning bug!"🤣

Perry:
More people are being detained and deported.
More people are being arrested.
This courthouse is open.
"There is no evidence that the president is unable, with the regular forces, to execute the laws of the United States."

Totally fair given this reality

"Each of us lives, dependent & bound by our individual knowledge & our awareness

All that is what we call 'reality'

However, both knowledge & awareness are equivocal

One's reality might be another's illusion

We all live inside our own fantasies."
