Shame on those of you who use this tragedy to voice your political hatred! My only son was killed in Afghanistan at 21 years old under Obama/Biden. Not one person from the Obama administration was in Dover to attend my son’s dignified transfer ceremony. We lost our precious boy and didn’t even receive a phone call. So, when you make this and political, just know it would have meant the world to us to have anyone there honoring my boy when his body was returned after making the ultimate sacrifice for the people and the country he loved so deeply (even while wearing a baseball cap). 💔
There’s a time and a place and this is not it. Show some respect for these families, especially when you have no idea what they’re going through! 😡

In New Orleans I could not sleep. The city was still awake at two in the morning. I refused to be the first to quit.

I found a place called Cafe du Monde.

Three items on the menu. Beignets. Cafe au lait. Orange juice. Three items since 1862.

I bowed to the menu.

Jerome brought three beignets without asking. Golden squares buried under a mountain of powdered sugar. The dough underneath was a rumor.

I picked one up like a civilized man.

The sugar detonated.

My shirt. My hands. The table. A woman to my left minding her own business at two in the morning. She did not flinch. She was already white.

The man next to her was white. The chair behind her was white. The whole cafe was a joyful crime scene and nobody was investigating.

I tried to brush the sugar off my shirt. It got worse. I tried harder. Worse still. Jerome watched me the way a zookeeper watches a new animal figure out the enclosure.

"Does the sugar always do this."

"Every time."

"Has no one in a hundred and sixty years considered reducing—"

"That IS the amount."

I gave up. I ate the second beignet with no precautions. Sugar went into my hair. A man across the room raised his coffee cup at me. I had joined something.

The cafe au lait was bitter with chicory and rude about it. Jazz from somewhere I could not see. An old couple sharing one plate, both white as ghosts, laughing.

In my country, beauty is controlled. A garden trimmed. A tea poured without a drop.

In New Orleans, beauty lands on your suit and does not apologize.

I sat in the sugar until sunrise. I did not brush off a single grain.

@tracegirouard48 Absolutely the fuck not! 😭😭😭

In case you're wondering why America will never be in the World Cup finals, it's because if a young athlete with the speed and agility of Lamine Yamal grew up in America, he'd be playing wide receiver at a college like LSU and then in the NFL like Ja'Marr Chase.

We would like to take a moment to honor and remember Deputy U.S. Marshal Drew Hanson, who was tragically killed in Rapides Parish earlier this week while executing a search warrant.

Hanson was a husband and father of 2. We pray for Deputy Hanson’s family and friends, for the law enforcement community, and for swift justice.

Hey everyone, I hate to ask for assistance, but I don't know where else to turn. I'm posting for help with getting my 86 year old dad a replacement work van, so he can continue to work and provide for my family. Especially my disabled sister. My dad has always worked hard to support our family, even after two open-heart surgeries and double knee replacements. Now, his work van has broken down, and he can’t accept jobs or transport tools and supplies we desperately need. This van is also our family’s only way to get to medical appointments and dialysis. After launching just today, I’d be grateful for any support—whether through a donation or sharing this with others. Even a small gift or a quick share can help us keep his work and our family moving forward. Thank you so much for your kindness and prayers during this difficult time. I also have a thread on TD if anyone wants to read more about it. Seriously thanks to anyone that can help out at all. https://t.co/mUOzRtT9B5

Scottie Pippen: My problem is more so with LeBron. If you are the greatest player.. why do you need to say it? Michael Jordan has never ever said he’s the greatest player to ever play the game.

There’s no way to describe this feeling.

We wanted so much more.

We let ourselves down but we won’t let this define us.

We dreamed of giving our country something special, and we came up short. To every fan who believed in us from day one, thank you. Your support never went unnoticed. We’ll carry this pain with us, learn from it and come back stronger than ever. This badge deserves nothing less. 🇺🇸

AMERICA 250

I think it's cool to be an American.

I think it's cool to love your country.

I think it's cool…

…that this country took a kid from England with nothing but a dream and gave him every shot to build a life he never could have imagined back home

…that I get to serve the men and women who wear the cloth of our nation through the Robert Irvine Foundation

...that in the picture above, a guy who came up in the British Royal Navy is becoming an Honorary Chief Petty Officer of the US Navy

…that after 250 years, the American idea is still the boldest bet on human freedom the world has ever seen

…that no matter where you start or what your name is, America still bets on the person willing to outwork everybody else

…that the right to fail, learn, and come back swinging is the greatest gifts this country offers

…that my daughters got to grow up in a place where their only limits are the ones they set for themselves

I think it's cool to love your country.

I think it's cool to be an American.

God bless this great nation of ours.

Happy Fourth to all who celebrate.

To everyone else, grab a plate and pull up a chair. There's so much more I'd love to tell you about this place, which turned out to be everything I dreamed of and so much more. This country belongs to all who are willing to show up and do the work of building it.

That's worth celebrating.
