🗣️ “I can’t do this anymore. It���s very frustrating dealing with JOA and JAAA. These people don’t care about field events in Jamaica.”

🇯🇲 Jamaica’s Danniel Thomas-Dodd goes off on the after the Jamaican Olympic Association and the Jamaican Athletics Administrative Association for denying a credential for her coach. She hasn’t seen him in 2.5 weeks.
More of her comments from this video:
“It’s very frustrating. This is something that I’m more than capable of obtaining and I came up short today.”
“That’s the irony of it. The gold medal that they were sitting down waiting for did not come from the track. It came from the field events. And those are the events that they neglect so much in Jamaica.”
“Most of the medals that we have gotten so far at these games come from the field events and we are the most marginalized group in Jamaican track and field. It’s time for them to stop and really reflect on what they are doing to us as athletes.”

If the government shuts down, that means members of our U.S. military are going to be on duty, unpaid.
There’s no reason for us to be in this position.
Just a few months ago we reached a bipartisan budget agreement on spending. We shook hands. Now, they’re reneging on the deal.
Let me be clear:
If the government shuts down, members of the U.S. military are going to have to continue to work but not get paid.
Extreme House Republicans are playing politics with our servicemembers and their families.
Your girl can’t afford a bag of chips and you come in to fight the Bodega man in an Amiri shirt and died? Instead of giving her money to buy the chips???? Huh?
