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.

Dolly did a video, now I guess Trump will have to put out a video after his physical, saying he's tall and thin, and the rumors are not true, he is not dead. Not sure I'll believe it though.

I don't watch the news, so can someone update me. Has the U.S bought Greenland yet?

Freida: You might be an older sister, so perhaps you don't understand how Dolly is viewed out in these means streets. Don't be playing with us like that. You don't ever have to tell us to pray for Dolly. She is always prayed up. But thanks for the update. I guess.

Like anything, boycotting is a muscle one has to train, until you no longer feel the pain. I've never been to a Target or Cracker Barrel. I cancelled Disney. I haven't had Chick-Fil-A in decades, and I make my coffee at home, so no Starbucks, not even in the airport. What can you do without?

Frankly, I prefer when they don't.

Nicole Kidman is a real one. Nobody ever sides with the men she divorces. So proud of her. May she never have to return to an AMC theater, alone, just to get out of the house. Live your life, Nicole.

I'm not mad at Taylor Swift. She is representative of white woman America. Some generations get Julia Roberts. Some get Taylor Swift. It is indicative of the times. Both plainly odd looking women that the machine made alluring. At least, I believe Ms. Roberts when she rolls that stroll. Represent.

So, I'm gathering the treatment program he'd been on didn't do the job he claimed. Imagine that. Let him do what little time he will do. It's being on the outside that will be his prison. He is nothing without adoration and those willing to do that will not be the ones he wants.

When these politicians are in public, I urge you to point and laugh at them hysterically. The boos no longer work. They can spin a boo. It plays right into their hands. You cannot spin being laughed at. "What are they laughing at?" You, MF! YOU. Show them they are a joke. It is their worst fear.

He's been in office 260 days. Mid-terms are 391 days way. Mid-terms may never come, for all we know. But yeah, let's sit back and wait. I'm sure things will get better.

I'm not sure what this app was doing, but it appears the autocorrect taking over the actual writing has stopped. Maybe we'll get another three months before they have to do whatever it is they do to make it take over again.

When they overturned Roe and we let it go, we left the door wide open for invasion. They were like, "Cool. Cool. What else can we take?" And here we are.

"Oh, so y'all didn't know Puerto Rico is a part of America. Cool. Cool. Then today's price ain't yesterday's price. Come on down."

I believe sports will be the impetus for what is to come. It will be televised.
