High school SPED teacher! I work with students on their life and workforce skills to prepare them for life after graduation. Please check out my wish list!
A few years ago, my friends invited me on a ski trip.
I declined.
Couldn't afford it.
One of them immediately said:
"Come anyway."
I said no again.
He kept pushing.
Finally I admitted the truth:
"I have $43 in my bank account."
Nobody replied.
The group chat went silent.
A few minutes later one friend sent $50.
Then another sent $20.
Then another.
By the end of the night there was enough money for the trip.
I felt terrible.
I told them I'd pay everyone back.
One friend replied:
"Don't."
Another said:
"Just do it for somebody else when it's your turn."
That was 8 years ago.
I've paid for plane tickets.
Covered rent.
Bought groceries.
Helped people who never knew the story.
And honestly...
the most valuable thing my friends gave me wasn't the money.
It was the chance to stop feeling ashamed for needing help.
Ok so here’s how it works
Dads with daughters: Women’s restroom.
Moms with daughters: Women’s restroom.
Dads with sons: Men’s restrooms.
Mothers with sons: Women’s restroom.
Hope that helps.
She died in 1995 at only 52 years old, never seeing her son become President of the United States of America. For years people only knew her as Barack Obamas mother. But she was much more than that. She was a scholar, a fighter for dignity and a woman who believed systems-not people-create poverty. Stanley Ann Dunham❤️Barack Obama is her son.
Michelle Obama is America 250. Imagine being a Black woman from the South Side of Chicago sitting as the most prominent woman in this country— she is the moment.
President Obama has a unique way of ROASTING Donald Trump without mentioning him by name, and it drives Trump nuts.
He just did it again, this time in front of every living president.
Watch this. 🔥
Damn To Listen To This Obama Speech. It’s Let Us Know How Far We Have Fallen As A Country!!!!! It’s Clear Why He’s So Jealous & Envious Of This Black Man!!!! Obama Is Everything He Wants To Be As A President & As A Human Being!!! He Lacks Everything Obama Embodies!!!
To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.
What an AMAZING, beautiful speech by Michelle Obama, listing the challenges President Obama faced, and his incredible achievements.
I can't prove it, but I know when she mentioned "winning a Nobel Peace Prize," Barack and Hillary had a good laugh at envious trump.
I LOVE THIS SPEECH.🙏♥️🙏
BREAKING: In an amazing moment, Barack Obama's close friend and Chair of the Obama Foundation Board, Marty Nesbitt just wore a tan suit to mock Republicans at President Obama's Presidential library opening. This is awesome.
WOW, everybody is there at the Grand Opening for the Obama Presidential Center: The Clintons, The Bushes, The Bidens, and of course The Obamas.
Every presidential family that matters. 🙏💪🏽
Trump’s obsession with the Obamas has never been political. It has always been personal, racial, and ugly.
First, he spent years pushing the racist birther conspiracy against President Obama. Then he shared content depicting the Obamas as apes. Recently, a fighter stood in the White House and referred to Michelle Obama as a man, and the White House said nothing. Now Trump is publicly referring to Barack Obama as a “stupid son of a bitch.”
The pattern is impossible to ignore.
MAGA’s problem has never been that Barack and Michelle Obama failed. Their problem is that the Obamas succeeded. They cannot stand the fact that a brilliant Black man became President of the United States and that a brilliant, accomplished Black woman became one of the most admired First Ladies in American history.
So they resort to what racists have always resorted to: dehumanization.
They question Barack Obama’s legitimacy. They question Michelle Obama’s womanhood. They compare them to animals. They mock them. They insult them. They attempt to strip them of the dignity routinely afforded to white public figures.
And then they wonder why people call them racist.
No, this is not about policy disagreements. People disagree about politics every day. This is about a movement that repeatedly reaches for racist tropes whenever the Obamas are involved.
Barack and Michelle Obama will be remembered as historic figures who served this nation with intelligence, grace, and dignity.
The people obsessed with demeaning them are simply revealing themselves as vile, denonic, racist, human refuse.
