Y’all should stop comparing ďying from poverty to Darwin's “survival of the fittest.” Poverty is a social construct driven by wealth hoarding in the post industrial age NOT by any natural shortage of resources.
Bruh. This grown ass woman, who wants to be a lawyer & has enough money to get access to tutors & therapists if she needs it, said she relies on a robot that regurgitates what u give it back to you to fill those roles. My brain hurts. This country has too many popular dummies.
I never get how people avoid going to small private HBCUs in their state that is struggling that’s cheaper tuition than go all the way to DC where there’s gentrification and things happening that’s suffocating the community
I watched Trump’s speech at the Correspondents’ Dinner last night.
It’s hard to articulate how sad it made me.
Sad and embarrassed and exhausted.
Here is the thing about a man who is a joke. He can’t tell one.
People think humor is a talent. It isn’t. It’s a capacity. To make someone laugh you have to be able to laugh at yourself, and to laugh at yourself you have to step outside of yourself and see what everyone else sees. For one second you have to be just another person in the room.
Most people can do this by the time they are nine years old.
He has never once managed it. Not in fifty years of cameras. Not for a second.
That is not a quirk. It is a symptom. The muscle that lets you tell a joke is the same one that lets you feel what another person feels. A man who cannot survive being laughed at cannot imagine being anyone but himself. He will only ever be generous when it is photographed. He will only ever be kind when it is filmed.
There is a name for it.
So he stood up there and did what he always does. He hit down. He made jokes about people’s weight. He made jokes about their intelligence. He made jokes about how women look. He read out the names of people he doesn’t like, and mocked them. Always mocking. And when no one laughed he blamed his speech writers.
The cruelty dressed as humor has worn so thin.
And for the 30% of you still in the cult who will inevitably call me a crackhead and blame it all on my Dad, all I can say is please, for the love of God, open your eyes. Wake the fuck up. Have some dignity. Have some pride.
Joe Biden wasn’t standing at that podium last night. Donald Trump was.
And at the end of it he put on a red hat that said Trump 2028 and told the room he was running again. No one laughed because everyone knows he has no intention of leaving.
Just another joke at our expense.
The corrupt Trump administration has just admitted to withholding taxpayer dollars from states based on how they voted.
Last I checked we were a democracy, not a dictatorship.
Where the hell is Congress?
@HQNewsNow Once again. I am trying to say this in the most diplomatic way possible that doesn't actively hide the truth: It is impossible to overstate how stupid you have to be to have ever believed that Trump was qualified to be President.
I am deeply appalled and angry to see “Firework” used on the @WhiteHouse TikTok account as a backing track for video footage of military strikes. I did not approve this, I was not asked, and I absolutely do not condone it.
I wrote this song to be an anthem of hope, healing, and inner strength for people going through their darkest personal moments. To see a message of self-worth and upliftment weaponized to soundtrack destruction and violence is a complete violation of everything my song stands for.
My music is for bringing people together, not celebrating warfare.
