You know what didn’t require a permit, a bandana, a slogan, ID on your arm with a sharpie, inflatable costumes, port-a-lets, megaphones, or safe houses? VOTING FOR THE WOMAN last year. I think I’ll organize my sock drawer today. Yall can have the streets. I don’t need to make myself feel better.

Ima mind my thrice graduated business… HOWSUMEVER… #KermitTheFrog as graduation speaker is totally unserious and beneath the magnitude of the moment for so many of the graduates. Maryland fumbled this one.

Attorney Seltzer, as one of the leaders of the Diploma Privilege movement in 2020, and co-author of the petition, may I ask your position on Bar Exam reform? (Be clear, there’s no way I’m voting for Bondi, but this is an issue for our next generation of colleagues)

I need the #LoveIsBlind producers to have some hard conversations with themselves. This was the worst season to date, and last season was the SECOND worst season to date. These people were boring, there was zero chemistry with anybody, and even the conflicts were silly and uninteresting.

Sucks but my #KennedyCenter membership is no more. They just put out an email for their upcoming space exploration event. It offers a discount for tickets to the events, EXCEPT ONE EVENT where the discount can’t be used… the one highlighting Black women in space exploration.

Thank you for this. Occupy DC which happened many years ago was a nightmare for many locals just trying to live. Major arteries in the region shut down without any prior notice was a hardship. With more and more people forced into the office it’s only getting worse.

Please remember there are real people, some with children that need to get to school, work, medical care, etc. in DC. Protest is important but people often lose sight that this is our home and not just the federal city. Police, fire, EMS and regular citizens need to be able to move about the city.

This happened to me and my fiancΓ©e… we were stuck with Covid in the Four Seasons in New Orleans for the BeyoncΓ© concert. They brought trays of provisions, fresh sheets and towels to our room and were just so kind. We were in the room for 3 days! The service was outstanding!

Any Democrat that votes to confirm RFKJR MUST be voted out at the next possible opportunity. Unequivocally. There is no room for nuance. No wheeling and dealing. Hard no. I don’t care if the post is vacant for 4 years!

Y’all… I beg… you’re doing their work for them. Stop posting (and reposting) every horror headline if you are not 100% sure you are posting facts. Example- no, insulin did not just go up to $600. The cap remains, but new negotiations are halted. There’s plenty to fear. Let’s not make ish up!

Two universal truths…. 1. Folks are leaving #TWITTER and 2. on my flight to Cancun I’m going to fly over the #GULFOFMEXICO I said what I said. That’s what they momma named em, that’s what I’m calling em!

We have to be accurate so as to not stoke more fear. All persons with job titles/roles in the DEI space are affected. NOT those his mob thinks are β€œDEI hires” themselves. No less insidious but facts are required during these tenuous years ahead.
