On a deep dive, I found a picture of William Powell from “When Knighthood Was in Flower,” a silent film from 1922.

When I know some don’t apply to me, I pay it no mind …but if seeing or hearing something that someone said bothers you that bad —you either call it out, self reflect on why it bothers you, or lace that shoe up and wear it

People always find it easier to criticize other people’s work than to build anything convincing of their own.

I don't know what to do with a society after choosing to do this to people. America has chosen to torture based purely on racial animus while the people who voted for it find literally any excuse to ignore the moral costs.
A mother and her 15 year old autistic son are reunited after nearly 50 days apart.
Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE.
ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.

I see it now. You suffer under the misapprehension that “coming together” has some intrinsic value.
I believe in offering the benefit of the doubt.
If we can’t do that we will never come together as a country.

She went on numerous TV shows and apologized/showed remorse. Forgiveness doesn’t let us continue to treat people badly after they’ve apologized. Sure, be wary if you’d like. But we don’t get to demean her. “Forgive us as we forgive”… that means something, or we shouldn’t call ourselves Christian.

Some of you make me sick. Mamdani kisses the ring and he's a "brilliant strategist" and "diplomatic genius".
Jeffries & Schumer get crucified for even whispering the word bi-partisan. Whitmer got flamed for her visit. Harris is still being bludgeoned for appearing with Cheney.
HYPOCRITES.

In 1970, the NYT reported on new private schools blossoming in the south.
These all-white segregation academies were formed expressly in response to racial integration in schools.
Proponents immediately saw that they needed resources. So began efforts to take money from the public school system.

This is why Black women have trust issues with Hospitals.
Because if babies matter why turn her away and tell her to come back later.
Or are we saying Black babies only matter when the mother is in a coma.

The hatred for Jefferies was centered mainly around his initial reluctance to endorse Zohran, rather than any concerns about AIPAC money.

So apparently, my fellow men are suing Uber and Lyft over their “women only” feature, which matches women riders with women drivers, for everyone’s safety. Smh.
Sexism against men is like racism against white people—not a thing.
It’s up to me and my fellow men to defeat the patriarchy.
