Compassion is not passive. It shows up in how we love, how we vote, and how we look out for one another.
Whether someone experienced a miscarriage, an abortion, whether it was forced or not, the outcome is not an invitation for public questioning or judgment.
I grew up hating white people, and the scary part is that millions of young Black men are being brainwashed into that exact same mindset today.
The education system feeds Black kids a steady diet of historical resentment until their undeveloped brains start picturing every single white person as the enemy.
Blaming the white man for modern community struggles is a trap that keeps people broke and angry.
"Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained."
-- Maria Skłodowska-Curie (1867-1934)
I stood up when it mattered, not just for me, but for women’s safety. That’s who I am. I’ll always speak truth even when it’s hard. If you believe in standing up for what’s right, support this video, and stay with me on this journey. Together, we amplify the message
The so-called “calculator riots” of 1986 serve as a powerful reminder that today’s anxieties about artificial intelligence replacing human thinking are far from new.
In April 1986, a determined group of math educators staged a vocal protest outside the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) annual convention in Washington, D.C. Led by influential textbook author John Saxon, demonstrators carried signs declaring, “The Button’s Nothin’ ’Til the Brain’s Trained.”
They were opposing the NCTM’s new recommendation to incorporate electronic calculators into mathematics education at every grade level, including homework and exams.
The protesters worried that reliance on calculators would erode students’ mental arithmetic skills, numerical intuition, and deep conceptual understanding, potentially creating a generation of “calcuholics” overly dependent on machines.
The NCTM countered that calculators would free students from repetitive, low-level calculations, enabling them to tackle more complex problem-solving and higher-order thinking. Ultimately, the debate led to a pragmatic compromise: students would first master core mathematical concepts and mental strategies before using calculators as tools for more advanced work.
This balanced approach allowed technology to enhance, rather than replace, mathematical reasoning.
Today, as schools navigate the rapid rise of generative AI, the 1986 calculator compromise offers a valuable blueprint: prioritize genuine understanding first, then thoughtfully integrate powerful new tools.
To use a leftie term, I’m feeling especially triggered by the response to what happened to Kallie Keeler. All the anon accounts screeching that it's a normal part of wrestling, just an "oil check" (an illegal move by the way, that this was not), that she's too wimpy and weak to be a wrestler if she can't handle it.
Bullshit.
She was assaulted. A man stuck his fingers inside her vagina and held them there.
This incident echoes dark patterns that I have witnessed and even been caught in the midst of for decades.
Bad men will hide behind shields of respectability while abusing girls and women in plain sight.
As a former gymnast and whistleblower, I see the parallels to Larry Nassar immediately. Nassar hid behind the respectability of his medical degree and his role as USA Gymnastics team doctor. After he abused young female athletes for 30 years, finally women came forward in droves to report the assaults. Those victims were attacked for months until there were too many to ignore.
My coach hid behind his "coach" title, while claiming to keep athletes safe as a spotter, then molesting in plain view. Athletes were shamed into silence.
Predators will exploit any opening to find, abuse and assault their victims.
Ask a physicist what quantum mechanics means and watch the room fall apart.
Bohr: "There is no reality until you measure it."
Einstein: "Something is missing. God doesn't play dice."
Heisenberg: "You can't know everything about a particle. Not because your tools are bad. Because nature won't let you."
Everett: "Everything happens. The universe splits every time."
Bohm: "The particle always had a position. You just can't see the hidden layer."
They all use the same math. Get the same predictions. And completely disagree on what's actually going on.
90 years later, nobody's won the argument.
There are many vulnerable men in men’s prisons: old, young, gay, ill, police officers & men who have committed the absolute worst crimes. If men who claim to be women are vulnerable in men’s prisons, they should be protected in the same way all others are: not in women’s prison.
🚨 WOW! Dr. ALVEDA KING just said it PERFECTLY on Capitol Hill
"I still have a dream. I dream that one day we will move beyond black power and white power and embrace GOD'S power and human dignity!"
"I reject the notion that Americans who hold traditional Christian beliefs should be treated as THREATS or TERRORISTS simply because we disagree with a prevailing political thought!" 🙏🏻
"I dream that Americans will one day see each other, not as enemies, but as neighbors. I dream that we will hear each other, see each other, and recognize that every human life has value from the womb to the tomb and beyond."
"We are as scripture teaches, one blood, one human race. And if we remember that truth, we can build a future worthy of the sacrifices made by those who came before us."
"We must speak out for truth and against the forces that would manufacture hate, fear, division, and violence simply to line their pockets and further their political ambitions."
"God bless America, God bless you!"

When I turned around and found three different men in the women’s locker room with me while I was naked on four separate occasions in just two weeks I was forced to confront a painful reality.
Not only has our government failed women, but we as women have failed one another by remaining silent.
No one is coming to save us. We must save ourselves.
It’s time for women to unite in truth, stand together, and advocate for the rights, privacy, safety, and dignity of women and girls.
The cost of doing nothing is too high. If we refuse to speak up, the next generation will inherit the consequences. Young girls are depending on us to protect what generations of women fought to secure.
The time to stand together is now.

In 1880, a reclusive, self-taught telegraph operator with no university degree went to war with the greatest scientific minds in the British Empire.
He won, changed the mathematics of physics forever, and quietly built the foundation for the entire modern electrical grid.
Yet today, almost no one outside of electrical engineering and applied mathematics even knows his name.
His name was Oliver Heaviside.
The story of how he solved one of the hardest engineering problems in human history is a masterclass in why book smarts fail where deep, messy intuition succeeds.
In the late 19th century, the world was trying to lay massive underwater telegraph cables across the Atlantic Ocean. But they had a crippling problem: the signals kept distorting. You would type a message in London, and by the time it reached New York, it was a smeared, unreadable mess of electricity.
The top physicists of the day, using traditional university math, said the solution was simple: make the cables purer and reduce resistance. They spent millions of dollars trying to make the lines perfect.
It didn't work. The signals still broke.
Heaviside looked at the exact same problem from his messy, self-taught perspective and realized the elite academic establishment was blind.
They were treating an electrical wire like a water pipe. They thought the electricity was inside the copper.
Heaviside figured out that electricity doesn’t flow inside the wire; it flows in the electromagnetic field around the wire.
Then, he did something that made mainstream mathematicians furious. He invented a bizarre shortcut called operational calculus. Instead of spending weeks solving complex, multi-page differential equations to map these fields, he treated calculus like basic algebra.
To the professors at Cambridge, this was a sin. They called his math clumsy, unrigorous, and nonsense.
Heaviside didn't care. His famous response to them was: "Should I refuse my dinner because I do not fully understand the process of digestion?"
He used his illegal math to propose a mind-bending solution: to fix the distorted signal, engineers didn't need to make the cable cleaner. They needed to deliberately add more corruption to it. He suggested wrapping the cables in iron wire to introduce "inductance", intentionally fighting one distortion with another.
The establishment ignored him for years. But when AT&T finally tried his method, the results were instant. Long-distance communication was solved.
Heaviside wasn't trying to pass a math exam or impress a peer-review board. He wanted to solve a real-world problem.
In the process, he took James Clerk Maxwell’s famously complex 20 equations of electromagnetism and condensed them into the 4 beautiful formulas that every single physics student is forced to memorize today. Heaviside did the heavy lifting, but Maxwell got the name.
The lesson Heaviside left behind is a philosophical blueprint for navigating a complex world:
The people who memorize the proper formulas are excellent at solving textbook problems. But they are entirely dependent on the rules staying the same.
The people who understand the underlying system don't care about the rules. They break them to find what actually works.
Most of us approach our life's problems like the 19th-century British establishment. When something goes wrong in our career or relationships, we try to make our existing wire purer. We try harder at a broken method.
But sometimes, the problem isn't that you aren't trying hard enough. The problem is that you are looking inside the wire instead of looking at the field around it.
What is a distortion in your life right now that you keep trying to fix with the standard advice? What happens if you stop trying to follow the textbook formula and start looking at the hidden forces causing the noise?
"I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is a real factor in scientific research."

The SPLC used $4.1 million in donor to fund the KKK and other extremist groups.
This is how they used the money:
-Attend and host extremist group rallies across the country.
-Grow existing chapters of extremist groups.
-Create new chapters of extremist groups;
Recruit new individuals into extremist groups.
-Make donations to extremist group leaders.
-Purchase materials for cross burnings.
-Purchase materials to make Ku Klux Klan robes and hoods.
-Create racist paraphernalia that extremist groups sold at rallies.
-Publish extremist literature used in the recruiting of more members.
-Pay everyday living expenses, which allowed the Fs to focus on their extremist groups rather than seeking other employment.
They funded the groups they told the public they were fighting.
