[Colin Kaepernick @Kaepernick7]

Grateful to be featured on the cover of The Guardian Saturday. I enjoyed sitting down with them to talk about my memoir, THE PERILOUS FIGHT, now a #1 New York Times Best Seller.

🔁 The Guardian Saturday Ten years ago, the San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick refused to stand for the national anthem. He was accused of disrespecting the flag, the game, and America. In tomorrow's @gdnsaturday, Kaepernick talks about being 'blackballed' for taking the knee, the civil rights movement, and why he still trains in case he gets to play again.

One thing I love about God is, He'll bring you out of situations you got yourself into; and still not hold it against you.

[The Biblical Man @Biblicalman]

Jacob got buried next to the wife he never wanted.

Not Rachel. Not the love of his life he cried over and worked fourteen years to get.

Leah. The one he got tricked into marrying in the dark and spent twenty years looking past.

Now watch what God does with her.

Jacob worked seven years for Rachel and it felt like a few days, he loved her that much. Then his father in law swapped the brides in the dark. Worst best man in history. He woke up married to Leah and worked seven more years for the girl he actually wanted.

Here is the line everybody scrolls past.

"And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb."

Hated. In her own house. Second place at her own table, across from a man whose eyes were always parked down the road.

Heaven did not fix it by handing Jacob some feelings. God walked to the exact spot where Leah was rejected and built there. Out of the hated wife came Judah. Out of Judah came the line that ends in a manger. God does His best work in the dirt where you got overlooked.

Rachel, the one everybody wanted, got buried on the side of the road. Leah got laid in the covenant ground with Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah. The woman he did not choose is the one God ran His whole rescue through. Heaven does not hold recounts.

If you have spent years being tolerated instead of treasured, that might be the exact soil God builds a legacy in. And if you are the man always reaching for Rachel while you step over the Leah at home, repent, and go love what God actually gave you.

[Joel Osteen @JoelOsteen]

Some people say if you have faith, you shouldn’t grieve. You shouldn’t feel the pain, feel the sadness. We’re human. Jesus wept when His friend Lazarus died. He felt sorrow and heartache. In the Garden of Gethsemane, He was so overwhelmed that He sweat drops of blood. He’s God, yet in His human body, He had these emotions. It’s not a lack of faith to feel things.

As Dr. Kizza Besigye lies in an ICU room, fighting for his life, let's not forget that the stated intention of the Museveni regime is to murder him. Museveni’s criminal son, who derives pride in being a face of evil has been clear that "......Besigye will only leave prison in two ways. Either in his coffin after we hang him or shoot him or on his knees apologising to Mzee [Museveni]". That's why they have denied him bail, dismantled his legal team, and hounded him left, right and center.

The world must not standby. What is happening in Uganda is catastrophic. Let's use every avenue to speak out, protest and agitate. One blood-thirsty family must not be allowed to torture, maim, murder and hold a nation at ransom without consequence!

It has taken 7 years and 10 months, 42 prosecution witnesses, and 81 exhibits presented by the ODPP for justice for Sharon Otieno to finally arrive.

Today, as Sharon's family sat in court to hear the verdict, we were reminded of the immense cost of justice delayed.

While we commend the prosecution, justice must not take nearly a decade. Across Kenya, from young girls to grandmothers, women continue to be lost to a horrific wave of femicide.

Our police, ODPP, and courts must bring the same rigor, urgency, and commitment to every case. not only those that attract national attention. We must all to our part to end the killing of women.

According to Feng Shui, the mess in your house isn't random. It's a map of where the energy is stuck in your life.

I really want to experience traveling with someone I’m in love with.

Some people in your life have never seen you at your full capacity. They met you in a hard season, a transitional moment, a version of you still being built. Do not let their limited experience of you become your ceiling. You are more than the chapter they witnessed.

The problem with making it look so easy is that people think it is easy.

I was arrested this morning together with fellow patriotic Kenyans during our procession to present a petition to the Kenya Wildlife Services against the excision of part of the Nairobi National Park to construct a 1300-car parking lot.

Our national heritage and environment must be safeguarded from greed and unnecessary destruction without public participation.

[David Maraga @dkmaraga]

This morning, I visited the eight young students from Utumishi Girls Academy who are recovering at Kenyatta National Hospital following last week's tragic fire.

I was accompanied by fellow @UGMParty representatives @NetoAgostinhoMP , @susan_lumumba , @OrogoDaniel and others.

I sat with these brave girls, conveyed my heartfelt condolences, and prayed for their swift and full recovery.

I am calling on the relevant authorities to conclude their investigations without delay and to hold all those responsible fully accountable.

[David Maraga @dkmaraga]

Today, I participated in the march and sit down against femicide and pedicide.

We need to safeguard the lives of women and children and ensure persons suspected of violating their rights are swiftly prosecuted.

Access to timely justice is critical in protecting potential victims and their families.

Let's join hands to restore the sanctity of life #Ukombozi @UGMParty
