This is beautiful. All y’all who want to trash HBCU bands, imagine how talented you must be to learn a new song and choreography and carry it off flawlessly. In two weeks.
The problem last night at Arthur Ashe wasn’t influencers. It was the fact that there are no ushers or anyone else working in the upper bowl. A complete lack of tennis etiquette-people getting up and down while the ball is in play the entire match.
Insurer: "Your premium is $500 a month."
You: "I’ve been perfectly healthy and paid on time for ten years. $60,000 total."
Insurer: "Correct."
You: "So now that I finally need a surgery, it’s fully covered, right?"
Insurer: "No. You haven’t met your $5,000 deductible yet, and this surgeon is out-of-network."
You: "I paid you $60,000 and I still have to pay thousands out of my own pocket before you help?"
Insurer: "That’s what health insurance is."
You: "Did my $60,000 roll over into a savings account, or count toward this at all?"
Insurer: "No. That money is gone. We spent it."
You: "So ten years of loyalty bought me no actual medical care?"
Insurer: "You had financial peace of mind. That’s the product."
You didn’t buy healthcare.
You signed a mandatory, non-refundable subscription just to get permission to pay for your own medical bills at a negotiated rate.
If you must, hate Keisha in private for now. The alternatives worship and adore the guy in Washington that you REALLY hate, and will do anything to be just like him. Trust me, you don’t want them leading local government.
Have people/dem voters not learned the lesson after Hillary & Kamala? Unite behind the damn candidates and later for all the other BS far as I’m concerned. Keisha ain’t perfect but I’ll take her over what tf we got now!
We just learned that Georgia is moving forward with gerrymandering for 2028.
There is an extreme movement in this country that will stop at nothing to hold on to power, even if it means stripping representation away from millions.
I will fight this with everything I have.
It’s us against white supremacy, bottom line.
Objective one is stopping this assault on our democracy. After that, we can get back to debating policy, platforms, personalities, and every other issue that matters. But right now, we are in an existential crisis led by people who want to strip rights away from the Black men and women who built this country.
So no, fuck all that “we can agree to disagree” shit.
Till further notice, get on code.
Because while we’re distracted arguing with each other, they are organizing, legislating, stacking courts, rewriting history, suppressing votes, dismantling protections, and openly telling you what they plan to do next.
Believe them.
This is not the time for apathy, ego, division, or political theater.
This is survival.
