Sleep better with mine too 😴

I have 1 as well. Heard they’re coming out with medicine and they already have a surgery available. I sleep so much better with the machine.

@Realrclark25 @Realrclark25 can it be both? Not forcing it on the young ppl but educating them so they make informed decisions AND the adults doing the type of blocks/bans/protests of business and institutions like we did with Target for example.

The redistricting of the congressional map is a direct assault on the voting rights act. There’s a bigger fix needed that’s so much bigger than the “Black athlete”. The NAACP “Out of bounds” initiative does have a historical foundation though. I’m torn because young people have often led the most impactful movements, but we can’t lay this solely at the feet of those athletes.

We have to respect that college athletes now have a chance to impact generations of family members. There needs to be a focus on the total plan to affect change, & that begs the question… “What will others sacrifice to take a stand?”.

When Allyson Felix became pregnant, Nike threatened to cut her sponsorship contract by almost 70% because of her pregnancy.

They told her:

“You should know your place… and just run.”

Amid all this, at seven months pregnant, Allyson had to undergo an emergency C-section due to a serious complication.

Her baby girl spent over a month in the neonatal intensive care unit.

But two years later, Allyson qualified for her fifth Olympic Games, with her daughter in the stands cheering her on.

Allyson left Nike.

And she founded her own shoe brand: Saysh One.

At the Tokyo Olympics, she ran wearing her own sneakers, carrying the motto:

“I know exactly where my place is.”

With 11 medals, she surpassed Carl Lewis and became the most decorated American track and field athlete in history.

And to all women, she gave this message:

“I raised my voice and built this company for you, so that you’ll never have to train at 4:30 in the morning, five months pregnant, just to hide it from your sponsor.” ❤️

“I feel like the next move will be to stop playing”- Aurélien Tchouaméni on racism in football (soccer)

@vinijr was called “Monkey” by Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni during their match in February. @realmadrid’s players discussed what to do in real time, & Vinícius Júnior urged them to continue playing.

@aurelientchm17 & others have had real conversations since about how to affect change, and not playing is certainly one of the options on the table.

Grateful for the courage of Principal Kirk Moore in Oklahoma who ran toward danger, took a bullet, and put himself between harm and his students.

This is what heroism looks like.

But let’s be clear:
this is a kind of bravery that should never be required.

Our children’s leading killer is gun violence.

We cannot just praise courage we must match it.

Honor him not just with words,
but with action.

We must do more to pass common sense gun safety laws to save more of our children.

Trump is now attacking the Pope for speaking out against war while posting images of himself as a messianic figure.

This is not only offensive. It is deranged, egomaniacal behavior.

When will Republicans in Congress stop blindly following this dangerous and unhinged man?

[The Husky @Mr_Husky1]

"My 22-year-old son called me last week while walking home from the gym. At first, everything sounded normal—just small talk. Then he got quiet and said, “Mom… there’s a guy following me.”

He had parked a couple blocks away. It was after 9, dark out, and this man was matching his pace, his turns… everything.

My heart dropped.

He stayed on the phone, trying to sound calm, but I could hear the fear creeping in. Then he passed a gas station. There was a man outside finishing his shift, and he must’ve noticed something wasn’t right. He looked at my son and said, “Hey, you waiting on someone? Come stand here with me.”

Just like that.

My son stopped and stood under the lights with this complete stranger. The man who had been following him kept walking—didn’t stop, didn’t look back.

The worker stayed with my son for about fifteen minutes, just talking—about football, about nothing—keeping him there until it felt safe. Then he even offered to walk him to his car.

My son said yes.

I was still on the phone the whole time, barely able to speak, just listening as this man—whose name we don’t even know—treated my child like he mattered. Like protecting him was the most natural thing in the world.

When my son finally got in his car and locked the door, he said, “Mom, I’m okay. Some guy just looked out for me.”

Some guy.

Some man who had every reason to go home after a long shift—but chose not to look away. Chose to step in. Chose to stay.

If you work at the Shell station on Hillcroft in Houston, Texas… please know a young man got home safely because of you. Because you took a moment to care.

I don’t know your name, but I will never forget what you did.

A mom is beyond grateful. Her son is home."

@GovWesMoore thanks for highlighting the importance of EVERYONE having an opportunity as true #equity in America on @UpFirst. I agree we may not win the same, but not ever having our chance is wrong.

I’m a high school teacher. We have policies. Late work gets points deducted. Turn it in on time or take the hit. That’s how students learn responsibility. Senior year. Final paper worth thirty percent of the grade. Due Friday. Monday came. Still no paper from this one kid. Smart kid. Never missed assignments before.
Called him to my desk after class. “Where’s your paper?” He looked down. “I don’t have it” Waited. He didn’t elaborate. “You know this tanks your grade right? Might not graduate” He nodded. Still wouldn’t look at me. “Do you not care?” His voice cracked. “My dad died Thursday night. Heart attack. Paper was done. On my laptop. But I’ve been at the hospital. At the funeral home. I forgot. I just forgot.”
My chest tightened. “I’m so sorry. Why didn’t you tell me?” “Because it sounds like an excuse. Everyone has excuses.” He finally looked up. Eyes red. “Just fail me. I deserve it.”
Closed my gradebook. “Email me the paper tonight. Full credit. And take this week off. Come back when you’re ready.” He shook his head. “The policy—” “I’m the teacher. I make exceptions when life happens. Your dad died. That’s not an excuse. That’s a tragedy. Go home.”
He graduated. Top ten percent. Spoke at graduation. Mentioned a teacher who showed him that rules and compassion can coexist. I was in the audience. Crying.
Sometimes grace matters more than policy.
