If you’ve been scammed by @LAFitness and their shady billing and cancellation policies, like or comment please. I think they’re especially emboldened to commit fraud right now since the government shutdown limits the @FTC from taking complaints right now. 😡
If you haven’t already, now would be a great time to read Orwell’s ‘1984’ to appreciate the stark parallels that exist between our reality and a classic fiction novel —to see what course this country is on. Better hurry before they delete it too though…

Another summer, same story: 5 years of emailing @ItsInDeKalb Code Enforcement about this overgrown lot next to my property—with no resolution. I pay taxes for public services, not endless hazards. Nearly get hit every time I pull out ‘cause I can’t see past the jungle. Do better.
After a beautiful convo with a stranger on a flight this past winter, she gifted me her copy of @TaNehisiCoats book ‘The Message’. I blazed through the first few chapters, only to lose it on my connector. I know I’m late… but I’m back at it and this joint is masterfully written.
Whatever happened to these boys? They dropped a banger and then disappeared. Song just randomly popped in my head on shift.

@_willcompton If being an NBA level talent was only about athleticism than you would have a point. But the skill set required to play pro ball is far more than being able to dunk. There are elite pro dunkers who can’t make the league. Furthermore, why then choose a sport with far less money?
What do yall think Mia told Lance Sullivan AKA @MorrisChestnut to get him right in that second half?
I think she told him to remember that this might be the last game she sees him play.
Why am I tearing up at 4:17 AM watching this movie lol?
I’m a latecomer to your work, @ChrisLynnHedges. As I read Empire of Illusion, I found myself wondering—given your spiritual background—why you chose to quote Freud rather than Solomon when writing about the hollow nature of self-indulgence (pg. 33). Curious to hear your thoughts!
Far too many of our so-called thought leaders, commentators and broader intelligentsia exhaust themselves in the futile pursuit of White approval, mistaking proximity for power, as if our liberation could ever be granted rather than seized. This is not survival—it is surrender.
The self-anointed steward of free speech and world’s richest man continues to peddle racist myths, mistaking correlation for causality—ignoring that Whites are the largest welfare recipients in the same way he omits that white women are the biggest beneficiaries of #DEI programs.
“Blackness is calling you now let us unite because of love instead of hate,
Let us unite on our own and not because of barbed-wire death.” - #GilScottHeron
We lost the opportunity to do the former and now we face the prospect of the latter. This is end-stage White supremacy.
It’s wild watching some white folks, who were totally oblivious to white privilege before, suddenly get a crash course in it. They’re sitting back, mouth agape, as Trump racks up 34 felony charges and threatens to waltz his way right back into the Oval Office. #Election2024
