COPIED FROM JOE BECIGNEUL: THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO TICK SOME PEOPLE OFF, AND I HOPE IT DOES. BUT I’M GOING TO KEEP ON SHARING IT AND SAYING IT. AND ONCE AGAIN, I AM NOT A SWIFTIE, BUT I AM A HUMAN BEING, A DAD AND, A MONSTROUS FOOTBALL FAN.
I am extremely disappointed in so many of you who think that "not being a fan" of someone means you're entitled to shit all over them.
I want to remind you of something.
Your children are watching you complain about Taylor Swift sitting at a football game, being happy, and cheering for a man she loves in what appears to be a very loving, respectful relationship.
Your Children are watching you judge a woman for literally just EXISTING and taking up space happily.
And you know what? Ms. Swift has won 324 awards? How many do you have?
She brought $5 BILLION dollars in consumer spending and boosted the U. S. economy so significantly, that leaders from other countries actually beg for her to play there?
Did you know that there are over 20 college courses about her skills as an artist, lyricist, and musician - including at places like Harvard, Stanford & UC Berkeley?
Did you know that Taylor Swift quietly donates mass amounts of money to local food banks in every city she performs in?
AND DID YOU KNOW …
That Taylor Swift was sexually assaulted by a radio DJ, and she got him fired? When he sued HER for over $3 million for defamation, she counter sued for a symbolic $1 in a court case that took 2 YEARS for her to win. And, she did that just to show women that fighting for what's right has no price tag & to never be silent in the face of oppression.
WELL IF YOU DON’T CARE BY NOW, YOU SHOULD.
Because your daughters, nieces, and your nephews are watching you run your mouth. And they are seeing the world hate a woman who does so much good, simply because she exists in their line of sight.
DO BETTER PEOPLE.
Teach your boys to respect women. Teach your girls that as women - they are ALLOWED to take up space.
Fix it. Become aware of your words. Because we all have the ability and the obligation to fight for the future of our children with simple moments. And we need to consciously choose to be better for them.
“Yesterday I witnessed something that took my breath away. I heard a sound at the window of the cottage. When I looked, a cedar waxwing had hit the window and fallen to the deck. It’s mate stood beside it. It was clear that the fallen bird was dead. I turned away for a moment and when I looked again, it’s mate had hopped over. It lay down beside its partner, their heads touching. It closed its eyes and passed over to Spirit with its mate. The sadness and beauty of the moment was such a privilege to witness. If anyone has ever doubted that animals feel emotion and love, this moment was absolute proof of both. Nature truly has much to teach us.”

BREAKING: Democratic star Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez brutally torches Fox News for ignoring the Lauren Boebert Beetlejuice sexual misconduct scandal.
“All I gotta say is I can’t go out to lunch in Florida in my free time, not doing anything, just eating outside and it’s wall-to-wall Fox News coverage,” said AOC in an Instagram video.
"And then you have a member of Congress engaging in sexually lewd acts in a public theater and they got nothing to say," she added.
To hammer home the hypocrisy of Fox, AOC compared their lack of Boebert coverage to their deranged coverage of a video of her dancing in college on a rooftop.
"I danced to Phoenix once in college and it was like all over the place. But them putting on a whole show of their own at ‘Beetlejuice’ … and there’s nothin’?” she said. "I’m just saying be consistent."
AOC is absolutely right. Instead of covering Boebert's disgusting behavior, the Republican media bubble is fixated entirely on the Senate dress code right now, particularly John Fetterman's clothes.
Conservatives are not serious people and cannot be trusted to govern.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that AOC nailed it — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is exploding in popularity because it banned Trump for life and because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX
BREAKING: Legendary actor Sean Penn brutally destroys Donald Trump and anyone who plans on voting for him in 2024 — and mocks the now infamous mugshot of the disgraced ex-president.
In a new interview with Variety, Penn bluntly stated that it would be "awful, embarrassing, dangerous, numbing, stupefying, unloving of our children to elect Donald Trump president" which just about hits the nail on the head.
If Trump gets back into office, future generations will pay the price. Not only will he drastically worsen climate change by serving fossil fuel companies, he will do his damndest to destroy our democracy and remain in power for life.
"That’s not the worst news, because for that to happen, a lot of people didn’t vote, give two shits, or they were too cynical," Penn added. "They [are the people who say], ‘Those guys just want power,’ while themselves doing nothing for the world."
In other words, we have a responsibility to vote against Donald Trump no matter what.
Penn also said that he saw Trump's mug shot and he looked like an "angry, used car salesman" and a "failed magician in Vegas.”
Clearly, Penn will not be voting for Trump. No patriotic American will.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you would never vote for Donald Trump — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX
@Jaminchill @HondaCustSvc@NHTSAgov@bbb_us@Honda My first case was opened 4/2021 and @Honda did nothing. Here we are, two years later and almost $10K spent in repairs and replacements of the same parts. Obviously something isn’t right @NHTSAgov can you help the loyal Honda owners?
@quincym2@Honda@benja I am a loyal @Honda customer as well. I have a 2016 and have been having piston issues since 2020. 5/2022 all pistons replaced. Guess what happened this weekend. Same thing. Just left the dealer with an estimate over $5k to do the same exact work from just over a year ago
@Jaminchill @HondaCustSvc@NHTSAgov@bbb_us I came on searching for this. @Honda has to be held accountable. I own a 2016 as well. 5/2022 over $5k for pistons to be replaced. Just left Honda dealer with an invoice for the same amount, same problem. My neighbor has a 2016 too with same issue. We need to join forces
My immigration attorney went MIA on me . Returned all my paper work to me with a note saying “my office is permanently closed” after still taking payments from me 3 days ago ! My husband found an empty office today ! Her name is Olga Villarreal. Pls share Took 10k from me.
”Last night, while waiting to board our plane, our daughter Carter was being her usual inquisitive self wanting to meet and say “hi” to everyone she could, until she walked up on this man.
He reached out and asked if she wanted to sit with him.
He pulled out his tablet and showed her how to draw with it, they watched cartoons together, and she offered him snacks.
This wasn’t a short little exchange, this was 45 minutes.
Watching them in that moment, I couldn’t help but think, different genders, different races, different generations, and the best of friends.
This is the world I want for her.
In a country that is so deeply divided by beliefs, I want her life to be filled with moments like this... not liberal or conservative republican or democrat, socialist or capitalist, just HUMAN.
Joseph from Samsungus in Oklahoma, if this should happen to find you.
Thank you for showing my daughter what kindness and compassion looks like.
Continue to shine your light in the world.”

“Twice this week, I have watched an elderly individual, fade into the busy life in which we all live. One man just needed Panadol for his wife but the shop assistant simply said it’s in aisle ‘6’. But he struggled to navigate the supermarket and as I watched him go in the wrong direction, I left all my groceries and took him where he needed to go.
Today, I watched an elderly man struggle in the heat, who had obviously had a fall with a huge scrape and blood on his leg. He walked past people in the cafe, while he slowly made his way to his car. Not one person stopped. Or looked. Or acknowledged him. I took him to his car and checked he was ok. He told me he had a fall and wasn’t sure how the air con worked in his car so he just didn’t use it. I sat with him, until his air con kicked in and heard him talk about the old frail body that he is in, that fails him now, every single day.
When you see an elderly person walking down the street, searching in the supermarket or struggling to their car, take a minute out of your busy schedule and ask them if they need a hand. Think about your grand parents and your parents and how pissed you would be if someone didn’t stop to help them. But more, think of them as you.
Once upon a time they were you. They were busy, they had work, they had children, they were able.... Today, they are just in an older body that is not going as fast as it used to and this busy life is confusing. They deserve our utmost respect and consideration. One day it will be you, it will be us. I wish more people gave a sh*t about them and acknowledged them for their admirable existence and geez I hope someday, not that far away, someone does it for me.”
