People are tired of watching the highly political @NBA. Basketball ratings are WAY down, and they won’t be coming back. I hope football and baseball are watching and learning because the same thing will be happening to them. Stand tall for our Country and our Flag!!!

I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”

Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.

THIS ⬇️ is why we have a free press. To all our journalists out there—and especially our women journalists (we see you!)—don’t stop asking the hard questions! 💅

Trump has a meltdown and ends the interview

Welker: Just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying.

Trump: There’s a lot of evidence. There’s tremendous evidence. There’s nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. And it’s happening again in California. They’re cheating.

Welker: Do you have evidence?

Trump: All I have to do is look.

Welker: That’s not evidence. The local officials acknowledge they are slow

Trump: They’re crooked. Just like you’re crooked. You’re either crooked or stupid.

Enough is enough.

At what point do we stop pretending this is normal?

At what point do we stop allowing @realDonaldTrump to insult women, berate women, threaten women, degrade women, and then hide behind power like he is untouchable?

He has been doing this his entire life.

In business.

In politics.

In the courts.

In the Epstein circle.

And now, as president of the United States, he uses the most powerful platform in the world to attack women who speak out, women who stand up, women who dare to tell the truth.

Look at what he is doing to E. Jean Carroll. A jury found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming her — and instead of accountability, he keeps attacking. He keeps trying to intimidate. He keeps using power as a weapon.

And that is exactly the point.

This is not just about insults. This is about control.

He takes away women’s rights.

He attacks women’s credibility.

He covers up the Epstein files.

He protects the powerful men while attacking the women who survived them.

He wants women silent. He wants survivors scared. He wants the country numb.

I’m asking a simple question:

When is enough finally enough?

When do we stand together and say no more?

No more letting the media normalize it.

No more letting politicians excuse it.

No more letting powerful men abuse women and then call themselves victims.

No more silence.

I am calling on this community — women, men, survivors, parents, citizens, everyone with a conscience — to stand together as one voice.

Protect women.

Believe survivors.

Demand the Epstein files.

Hold Trump accountable.

And stop supporting any media outlet, politician, or platform that continues to sanitize, excuse, or cover for this madness.

Because this is not politics anymore.

This is about basic decency.

This is about right and wrong.

This is about whether we are still willing to stand up for the women of this country against a man who has spent his life degrading them.

Enough is enough.

It is time to stand up.
It is time to speak out.
It is time to fight back together.

The redistricting of the congressional map is a direct assault on the voting rights act. There’s a bigger fix needed that’s so much bigger than the “Black athlete”. The NAACP “Out of bounds” initiative does have a historical foundation though. I’m torn because young people have often led the most impactful movements, but we can’t lay this solely at the feet of those athletes.

We have to respect that college athletes now have a chance to impact generations of family members. There needs to be a focus on the total plan to affect change, & that begs the question… “What will others sacrifice to take a stand?”.

I sent a friend this story, and she said she read the quote and did not know it was my interview. It is!

[Blackish Press @blackishpress]

Sterling K. Brown talks about why he chose to be part of the film “Is God Is”

“So there’s the macro and the micro. I love Black women, and I love seeing Black women win, right? I thought this was an incredibly creative script, something different and new, and I think that we, as a community, have been asking for creative and new stories, right? And I feel like the more diverse the landscape of stories are that we get to tell, the more people will stop putting us into a box in terms of what a Black movie is, what a Black story is. We are everything, and so the opportunity to do everything is something that excites me. Aleshea (Harris) wrote a play, then she adapted the play, and she directed the play, and I think she did so brilliantly. I also love the idea that Black women get a chance to be messy in this film, like hella messy. I feel like oftentimes we’re asked, in many stories, to be voices of reason. Sort of the sensible side component of a larger story, and that’s not the case in this. That is exciting to me.”
