@ju1ceeee Get out now sweetheart. I mean NOW!! It’s not cute. It’s not funny and it will get worse and do irreparable damage to your entire self worth.

@JalenRose I named my son Jalen because of you! And I was literally thinking this very thing the other day - how the name exploded after you! Bless your mom!

40 Must-See movies to watch during Black History Month and beyond. Make sure the kids get to watch them too.
Have a movie night, make it fun!
How many have you watched? What’s your favorite(s)? What lesson(s) did you learn. Have discussions.

@politvidchannel This is a dumb premise and it’s flys in the face of what we as women have stood for: that we don’t need anyone to hand us anything - we earn what comes to us. Anyone who is floating this idea is silly and petty and is not a serious advocate for equality and fairness. Just stop it

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

When I cast my vote for President Biden, I wasn't expecting much. I just wanted trump out of office.

I knew he was old.
I knew he had a stutter.
I knew he had a rep for "gaffes."
I didn't care. Just wanted trump gone.

Four years later, things are different.
I wasn't expecting that President Biden would be the most legislatively successful President in my lifetime.

I wasn't expecting him to help expand NATO.
I wasn't expecting him to lower insulin & inhalers.
I wasn't expecting him to create & recover 15m jobs.
I wasn't expecting him to bring manufacturing back.
I wasn't expecting him to forgive student debt.

But he did ALL those things, and more.
He surpassed my expectations by a lot.
And he has more planned for 2025-2028.

He's not a master orator,
He doesn't move so smoothly
But neither did FDR from his wheelchair.

Meanwhile, trump is STILL a threat.
He wants to be a dictator.
He wants to stay out of prison.
He wants revenge on his enemies.
He wants to take away from the poor and middle class and give to the ultra wealthy.
His Project 2025 will enable a national abortion ban to criminalize women seeking safe and legal abortions.
His Project 2025 will take away the rights of our LGBTQ family and friends.
His Project 2025 will transform the government into a loyalty pledge, not to America but to him ALONE.
We might never have another free election.

THAT is what is at stake in this election.

We can continue to progress with Biden policies, or we can let trump destroy democracy as we know it.

If you're looking for someone who's young and athletic, go watch a fucking movie.

I'll take the old guy who needs a nap while saving democracy over the old guy trying to overthrow democracy who needs a legal team.

On Jan. 8, VP of Student Affairs at Lincoln University (MO) Dr. Antoinette “Bonnie” Candia-Bailey died by suicide due to distress from “bullying & severe mistreatment” in her role.

The community is now calling for the termination of President Dr. Moseley.

The #MSleg gave Trustmark Park $1.3 million last year.

It would have cost a lot less to provide fields for baseball and flag football and so on for the Boys and Girls Clubs, and that would have given MS a better return on investment too.

Jackson State family, in case you were wondering, the traditions are safe! The brand is too strong. The kids are going to be just fine. #LuvDaBoom

@TorenBallard That’s exactly what is happening and it’s a disservice to kids and families. There’s no intervention whatsoever even for the most routine infraction and especially when it comes to black boys.

@GodFamilyJSU James would be an ideal fit! He’s accomplished, innovative and blue blood JSU Tiger! Not to mention he’s my classmate and I know he’d be excellent!

1887 photograph of Harriet Tubman, her husband Nelson Davis and adopted daughter Gertie.
Harriet married her second husband Nelson Davis in 1869 and adopted their daughter, Gertie. Her husband had served as a private in the 8th United States Colored Infantry Regiment from September 1863 to November 1865. Nelson died on October 14, 1888 of tuberculosis.

She and her first husband, John Tubman, were separated after she escaped to freedom, and by the time she returned, he had remarried.

Sometimes when I’m in Dumbo or parts of Manhattan, I look up and see chairs on a rooftop patio and wonder how those condos look inside.

I wasn’t ready….

The stove. The wallpaper. The Italian balcony in Brooklyn. The outdoor shower??? Viewing this was an experience

"My savior was betrayed by one of his chosen, and I believe we've experienced the same," a weeping Wendell Ladner told Madison County's board today, speaking against rental property.

"Judas was honorable enough to recognize the magnitude of his betrayal and committed suicide."

So @Diddy came through on his promise to support Jackson State. Interim President Elayne Hayes-Anthony said JSU received $333,000 yesterday and said Diddy will give $333,000 each year for the next 2 years. He earmarked the money for athletics.
