He is the greatest shooter of all time. But he's just a basketball player. Icons transcend their fields. Michael Jordan is more than a basketball player. Beyonce is more than a singer. Clooney is more than an actor.

I'd love to see what the valuation is for the brand considering his fading stardom. He's a basketball star but his talent should have made him an icon. Under Armour failed him.

Been trying to keep my peace and stay out of the world's BS so if you recently saw someone named Emma message you on here I'm sorry that's not me.

Zendaya looks like Michael Jackson in smooth criminal. #metgala

In that show he also told an impactful story about the great migration that shook me to the core.

Its so interesting that all these tech firms are moving like they've never watched sci-fi movies before. Like didn't you get your idea from Dune? Then why are you rushing to get us to a robot war? #AI

#sinners whatever spirit you go into the movie with is what will be served. You want action you'll find the action. You want social criticism you'll find it. You want love you'll get it. You want hate you'll get that too. Dont miss your blessing by avoiding it based upon someone else's experience

This is such a brilliant thread documenting how the actions of the Trump administration are damaging virtually every college in the men's March Madness tournament...share this information with all of your friends who are into basketball.

Our brains work differently. They don't produce dopamine like they should. Dopamine is critical to focus, motivation, and emotional regulation.

We are not lazy or careless… our brains are our biggest op sometimes.

That’s nothing. I found 13 contracts awarded to SpaceX since December totaling $77M. 1/

In this service economy they need servers. They want a monopoly on thinking.

Here’s what we did today

The easy answer is to just say their DEI programs don't violate the law because they don't.

A non-government business that contracts with the federal government received notice today that in order to do business with the government they must certify that they don’t participate in DEI. So it’s not just the feds, it’s any private biz that contracts with the feds. Here’s the message they got:

Doge staffers enter Noaa headquarters and incite reports of cuts and threats Members reportedly sought access to IT systems at agency that Project 2025 has called ‘harmful to US prosperity’

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts.

NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms.

This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

They want to build a Pre civil rights America, Apartheid South Africa, luxury real estate on the graves in Gaza, their personal wealth, division and resentment, a poor labor class, would you like for me to keep going?

One of these days we're gonna have to reckon with the fact that "money that I spend which does not directly benefit me is a waste" is a popular sentiment.

I think we should state plainly that this is selfish on its face.

And stupid when you have awareness which extends beyond your nose.

Say that!

I’m sad to learn that my law school classmate, Kiah Duggins, died in the DC plane crash last night.

Kiah was an exceptionally talented civil rights lawyer and aspiring legal scholar.

I hope you’ll read about her work and the causes she cared about, some of which I’ll 🧵 below.

What an immense loss

You know it's serious when the administration told them to cease all communications with the public and they still telling people to not eat them.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Internment camps for American Japanese. Internment Camps for Native American children. Detention camps for American Muslims. Detention camps for American Hispanics. Pardons for American Domestic terrorists. This is the Great America they want.

This is a hostile takeover. At war, you build camps before you build forts. The executive orders were written more than a year ago so they can move very quickly. Trust the laws are coming next.

They want racism. They want classism. That's it.

A screenshot from Fox News' Twitter account reads: "The Trump White House has rolled out a new social media account that aims to hold 'fake news accountable.'" Below this tweet is a screenshot of a Twitter profile for "Rapid Response 47". The profile description states: "Official Rapid Response account of the Trump 47 White House. Supporting @POTUS 's America First agenda and holding the Fake News accountable. MAGA! @whitehouse .gov Joined January 2025." The profile features a logo with "RAPID RESPONSE" and an image of the White House. Below this, there's an image with the text "TRUMP WHITE HOUSE ROLLS OUT SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT TO HOLD 'FAKE NEWS ACCOUNTABLE'" over a background showing a raised hand.

Fox News is reporting this and irony may never recover.

The greatest lie bought in the modern age is the promise of American Capitalism. The achievement of the few requires the subjugation of the many. The illusion to become one of the few hides the manipulation of fear and personal greed and the real promise of community prosperity

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is.

Know your rights. Pass these around…
