Totally shocked that the man who incited an insurrection to avoid leaving office would say this once he got back in office.
SHOCKED.
Never could have guessed.
Itβs gonna take a long time to get over the anti-intellectual movement. Even when we do, the harm has been done. Folks donβt believe science and experts and that man has cut 1,300 jobs from the CDC. Buckle up. π€¦πΎββοΈ

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this.
Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.
No. People are always looking for Black women to clean up the messβact as their mule. And then throw her away after sheβs exhausted from the labor and lack of support. And I hate that phrase.

Is this Michelleβs childhood home?The way she talked youβd think she grew up poor. LOL at her friend calling her boring. And to be talking abt Davidβs clothes, she needs to practice what she preaches because I havenβt seen one cute outfit. Sheβs in basic casual wear. #mafs #marriedatfirstsight

Now David, imma need you to come up with a better lie.π€£ But I ainβt mad at him bc Michele has been so rude and insulting. Donβt be mad now, girl. #mafs #marriedatfirstsight
Random thought: R&B is short for Rhythm and Blues. Today we get a whole lot of rhythm but very littleβif anyβblues (and soul).
