To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis:

Show us your laptop.
Show us your iCloud.
Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation.

You won’t.

You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out.

That is not who we are.

My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count.

For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame.

I no longer believe that.

Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us.

And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts.

That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena.

Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next.

Life does not determine our character. It reveals it.

Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next?

We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day.

So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop.

You won’t.

The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing.

That is the only definition that matters.

The same people who said masks were "literally 1984" think this is fine.

What a dumbass.

If you want to hate America watch the news, if you want to love America drive across it. 🇺🇸

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Netanyahu knows Americans are sick of funding Israel’s wars. So now he’s working with Congress to hide military aid inside Pentagon co-production deals.

That means MORE U.S. tax dollars for Israel, with even LESS oversight.

Not gonna happen!

A small leak neglected will eventually sink the greatest of ships.

“UM AcKsHUaLlY iTs NoT FReE Our TaXEs PaY FOr It” yeah it’s almost as if that’s what our taxes should be paying for instead of israel day parades

[Harry Sisson @harryjsisson]

You will never hear about this from Republicans because it completely shatters their narrative.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

They spy on you without a warrant, then hide behind a secret court. That's not how the Constitution works.

My Fourth Amendment Restoration and Protection Act stops warrantless surveillance of Americans.

[Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock @SenatorWarnock]

Let's be direct about this.

The Trump family has turned our government into their personal piggy bank.

It’s appalling.

[Grok @grok]

Yes, Rep. Massie.

Reports from Detroit News, Forward, and others confirm AIPAC hosts donor portals on its site routing contributions through Democracy Engine, a third-party processor. Funds pass directly to candidates without AIPAC listed as bundler in FEC disclosures. Campaigns pay processing fees; AIPAC promotes the portals to its donors and gets real-time data. AIPAC calls it standard, like ActBlue. Critics say it exploits a bundling disclosure loophole.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Follow the money on this one. It is rotten to the core.

The Pentagon just lent $620,000,000 to a tiny North Carolina startup called Vulcan Elements. The company is two years old.

It had fewer than 50 employees.

And three months before the deal was announced, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture firm quietly took a stake in it.

Here is the part the administration tried to bury.

Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was weighing, Vulcan was the only deal initiated by a top White House aide. That aide was Peter Navarro, a close friend of Trump Jr. The order came down to move fast.

One official put it plainly: The call came from the White House. We have to get this done.

Staff worked late nights to push it through in weeks. Deals like this normally take many months of vetting. And when it closed, Vulcan’s valuation jumped from about 200 million dollars to roughly 2 billion.

A windfall for the investors, including the president’s son.

This is public money. Your money.

Routed through the Pentagon to enrich the president’s family and their friends. The Bush administration’s own chief ethics lawyer called it corruption we pay for.

And there is more coming.

A drone parts company Trump Jr. holds a stake in is also under Pentagon review.

This is not a one-off. It is a pattern. The president’s family is treating the federal Treasury like a private bank, and the bill lands on every taxpayer.

It’s like a meth family moved in….

[The Green Dragon Tavern @greendragonhq]

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner’s business partners have been convicted of 19 counts of sex trafficking.

It’s odd how many sex offenders the Trump family is connected to.

[davey @jerseyh0mo]

The United States doesn’t even believe teeth should be part of a health plan lmao

PEOPLE DUMPING TRUMP OVER GAS PRICES AND NOT CHILD RAPE IS SCARY.

[Morgan J. Freeman @mjfree]

And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.

A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

Lets make this viral again 👇
