yall don’t think it’s WEIRD , that CPS will potentially take your kids if you’re struggling (unable to feed them , clothe them , pay for necessary medicines , etc.) 🤔 and then once your kids are taken , they put them in a home with another family , and then give THEM money every month to take care of your kids ??

is that not a fuxked up system ?!

History made! 👏🏾

With Michael (2026) surpassing $1 billion at the global box office, Antoine Fuqua joins an exclusive club as just the third Black American film director to helm a billion-dollar film.

The list:

🎬 F. Gary Gray — The Fate of the Furious (2017)
🎬 Ryan Coogler — Black Panther (2018)
🎬 Antoine Fuqua — Michael (2026)

A remarkable achievement and another milestone in film history. 👑🎥💰

One of the smartest (and completely free) homeowner hacks I recommend:

​Create a dedicated email address for your home.

​Example:
[email protected]
From day one, send every home-related document there.

Closing documents:
– ​Homeowners insurance
– ​Survey, deed & title paperwork
– ​Mortgage documents
– ​Property tax records
– ​HOA documents
– ​Utility account information
– ​Appliance manuals & warranties
– ​Contractor estimates & invoices

Remodel receipts:
– ​Paint colors & flooring specs
– ​Landscaping plans
– ​Septic & well records
– ​Roof, HVAC & water heater warranties
– ​Security system information
– ​Smart home login details
– ​Permits & inspection reports
– ​Before-and-after renovation photos

Years from now, when you need to...
1. ​File an insurance claim
2. ​Replace a broken appliance under warranty
3. ​Sell your home
4. ​Refinance
5. ​Protest your property taxes
6. ​Remember the exact paint color in the guest room
7. ​Find your contractor’s invoice
8. Show permits for a remodel
9. ​Transfer utility information
10. ​Hand everything over to the next owner....
everything is in one searchable place.

No digging through old inboxes.
No searching random folders.
No wondering where that PDF disappeared to.

​It’s a 2-minute setup that can save you hours of frustration over the life of your home.
​Save this post... you’ll probably need it sooner than you think.

Cariol Horne stopped a fellow cop from choking a handcuffed Black man in 2006. Buffalo PD fired her for it in 2008 just one year before her pension.
She fought for 14 years. In 2021, a judge restored her pension and Buffalo passed “Cariol’s Law,” requiring officers to intervene against excessive force.
Real hero who paid the price but never gave up. Legend. 👏🏾

On June 14, 2026, 16 year old Jeremiah Spearman was stopped and detained by Battle Creek police while walking home. Officers claimed his behavior was “not normal.”
He wasn’t running. He wasn’t threatening anyone. He wasn’t committing a crime. He was walking home.

This is the reality many Black families live with. These kinds of “mistakes” have already cost too many of our young people their lives, when law enforcement or those who see themselves as enforcers act on suspicion while a Black child is simply walking through their own neighborhood. We saw it with Trayvon Martin.

One question worth asking is how often this happens to minors who aren’t Black or Brown?

His name is Jeremiah Spearman. He was just walking home.
