For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. '” — Jeremiah 29:11. #goinGRACE
“The word says who Jesus is, He’s knocking on the door, all you gotta do is get up.”
This is a powerful story told by Saints linebacker @demario__davis. A must watch!
Driving out of Las Vegas I was admiring this mom on the bus stop with her baby. She mouthed the words on my van so I rolled down the window and we came back around. Hang on Queen! It will get better ✊🏿🙏🏾❤️ ur donations at work.
If the truth will make you free, you’ll always be in bondage if you never free your mind, and you can’t free your mind if you’re lying to yourself about your truths.

Let's level set here.
A governor had to send his taxpayer funded operation to ANOTHER state to find people to use as pawns.
He lied to them. Bussed them to yet another state. Flew them on a taxpayer funded charter flight. Then dumped them on the steps of a catholic charity.
All for his own pathetic scheme to gain attention.
We will not be backing down from holding those involved accountable.
The two people who were fatally shot outside a graduation ceremony in Richmond, VA yesterday have been identified as Shawn Jackson, 18, and his stepfather, Lorenzo “Renzo” Smith, 36. Shawn’s 9-year-old sister was struck by a car amid the chaos. Five other people were wounded by gunfire, ranging in age from 14 to 55. A 31-year-old person has life-threatening injuries.
We don’t have to live like this, and we sure as hell don’t have to die like this. Text ACT to 644-33 to join the millions of Americans fighting to #EndGunViolence.

Today I was running low on pencils so I asked all of my kids to pull out any of my pencils that they had in their desks. I had one student ask me if he could keep his pencils that his mom gave him for school. Of course, I said yes.
He then said, “well, I guess I’ll give you a few so my classmates can have them too.” I thought nothing of it and took the pencils that he handed me. When I was sharpening them, I noticed writing on a few of them. I then realized that my student’s mother took the time to write on his pencils. I asked him if he would mind showing me the rest of them.
What I read melted my heart:
- You are so talented.
- This will be a great year.
- You are creative.
- You are phenomenal.
- Never give up.
- You can do this.
- You are knowledgeable.
- You are a math whiz.
- You are intelligent.
- Proud of you everyday.
- I love you.
- You have a brilliant mind.
- You are wonderful.
- You are a problem solver.
- Follow your dreams.
- You are perfect.
- I am proud of you.
- You will change the world.
- You are amazing.
- You are the best.
- You are important.
-This probably took his mom a few minutes to do yet it lit up his whole day at school. He wasn’t embarrassed that his mom wrote on his pencils. Thanks to his mom, he was reminded of his self worth and wanted to share the same feeling with his classmates.
- THESE are the things that we should be reminding our kids (both parents AND teachers). Imagine the look on a child’s face when they are reminded that they are important, talented, loved, knowledgeable and so much more.
- Help them know that someone believes in them and is proud of them in everything they do. Even if you think it is cheesy or you don’t have enough time or that you will have little impact, remember that you may be the only one telling and reminding them these things and EVERY kid needs to know their value. This is why I teach. ❤️❤💜💜😀⭐
Meanwhile in Florida, a woman, unable to get an abortion due to DeSantis’ deadly anti-abortion laws had to carry to term a baby that was found to have no kidneys at 24 weeks.
I’ll say that part again, no kidneys and was forced to carry the baby for an additional 13 weeks until she gave birth.
Deborah Dorbert’s son Milo died in her arms on March 3, shortly after birth just like the doctors said would happen.
Forced to carry, knowing there was no chance of survival. Then watching a baby gasp for air and die.
What part of that scenario is pro-life? The walking around for 13 weeks knowing your baby is going to die? Oh wait, is it the part where the baby took one breath and died?
DeSantis chases woke while real-life consequences are happening “death on delivery.”
That’s not governing it’s torture. #FreshResists #FreshVotesBlue
