@nhannahjones Yes. Yes. And yes. The post-debate news focus has been incredibly disappointing. Way too much attention given to a “poor” debate performance and not nearly enough to a lying candidate who threatens democracy.

Ginni Thomas tried to overturn the 2020 election.
Ginni Thomas is married to SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas.

Clarence Thomas is about to weigh in on a case involving that election interference.

Clarence Thomas should recuse, but he won't.
The Supreme Court is COMPROMISED.

Excellence on and off the court!

“In one of the most notable moments in sports history, Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped thinking he had completed the race.

A Spanish athlete, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him, and after realizing what was happening, he started shouting at the Kenyan for him to continue running; but Mutai didn't understand his Spanish.

Fernandez eventually caught up to him and instead of passing him, he pushed him to victory.

A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"
Ivan replied, “My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win.” The journalist insisted “But why did you let the Kenyan win?" Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win.” The journalist insisted again, “But you could have won!”Ivan looked at him & replied, “But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor of that medal?
What would my Mom think of that?”

Values are transmitted from generation to generation.

What values are we teaching our children?

Let us not teach our kids the wrong ways to WIN.”

Alert: This is a #proudmom moment. My son graduated from Walter Payton College Prep High School in 2020, where he played varsity basketball all four years. The school recently installed this mural that includes him, #35. What an incredible honor! I had to share! @superjabari

I’m so excited for my son @superjabari and the great experience I know he will have this summer!

@shazrasul @chicago This happened to me a few years ago on Ellis Avenue. It was as simple as writing a letter and including a copy of the receipt. But still annoying. Don’t pay the ticket.
