David Montgomery on CJ Stroud on @nflnetwork :
“I think CJ has a rare arm talent. Super, super talented with his arm. I got here a couple weeks ago, we going out throwing passes & I’m like ‘he can really zip this thing.’ You can tell he definitely takes charge & control of the offense. He is who he is & carries himself the way he does. He makes everybody want to follow him. To watch him from a distance, to actually be here with him now, see how he taking the reins & bringing everybody along, it’s a super special thing to see and be a part of. I’m just excited to be here for it.”
Welp. It had a nice run. Pierce can’t do it by himself.. should’ve gave him producer credit.. if Tom fuckin Hardy wants to change the lines.. you change the lines lol period lol
Elimination game walk off. Lost in the chaos is TX Southern player showing love to the Jax State LF who made a terrific throw. Runner just beat the tag. #SWAC
We had this conversation in a public hearing a week ago and you said it would take “years” to replenish some of these stockpiles. That’s not classified, it’s a quote from you. This war is coming at a serious cost and you and the president still haven’t explained to the American people what the goal is.
Yall remember Kylin Hill? This brother was a major turning point in the flag's removal. In June 2020, #MississippiStateUniversity running back Kylin Hill tweeted: "Either change the flag or I won't be representing this State anymore & I meant that .. I'm tired".
Hill, a #Mississippi native and one of the top rushers in the #SEC at the time, issued this threat directly in response to #Governor Tate Reeves' initial hesitation to support a new flag design. His stance sparked a massive wave of support
Pressure on #Leadership: His tweet went viral and put immediate pressure on state legislators and #university officials to take a definitive stand.
Widespread Support: Other athletes and coaches—including those from #OleMiss—publicly backed him, as did the SEC and #NCAA.
Resulting Change: Lawmakers passed the bill to retire the old flag just days after Hill's ultimatum. Hill was later honored by his hometown for his role in the historic change.
While Hill stayed and played for a portion of the 2020 season, his threat is widely credited with accelerating the legislative process to remove the Confederate emblem.
With the dismantling of the black voting rights in the South Black athletes in the SEC could really redistribute the pain with over $470 million!!!
Just saying…
Tatyana Ali (Ashley from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air) spoke about the difficult pregnancy she had with her first child and the discrimination that Black women face during pregnancy
“I had a really healthy pregnancy… and all of that changed once we got into the hospital. Our birth plan wasn't followed... I was also held down, my arms and legs," she continued, using the term “obstetric violence” to describe the experience she went through
“I mean, I'll be real with you, they pushed him back inside me… that's what happened, my baby was all the way crowned, that’s not a real procedure.”
“In my records, it shows that he goes from the lowest station, I saw his hair, I touched his hair, to the highest station and it doesn't say how that happened. It's an incredibly dangerous thing that they did; they could have snapped his neck, but this is after hours of them holding me down.”
She added that her baby "couldn't pee on his own for a long time, about five or six days."
“Actually, it was a pediatric urologist who was the only one who came to my side and said, ‘I saw what happened during your birth, the things that resulted in this emergency C-section.’ She said, ‘I think the traumatic nature of his birth is what is causing this,’ ” Ali recalled, revealing, “We [then] left [the hospital] in the middle of the night … we ran away."
Black women suffer discrimination during pregnancy, and Ali made a point of emphasizing that
“It's been happening for a very long time … black women are three to four times more likely to die in childbirth, and I think a lot of times people go, ‘Oh well, those are other health risks.’ Yes, that's in the mix of things, but there are incredible traumas that are also being experienced in the hospital when you're a black woman, an indigenous person, giving birth. The treatment is just totally different…”
