A word to the wise:

Hate is expensive. The price you have to pay is costly and will affect you in many ways. It takes a lot of energy to hate. Why do that to yourself? 🤔

Consider love. It's fulfilling and brings rewards on its own. The best part, fam?

It's free. ❤️

Was driving.
John Lee Hooker was one of the greatest. My mom turned me on to him. Rev Gary Davis also an inspiration. Incredible men! I learned the importance of the blues and what it means. Made me a better bass player!
Glad for you too. I appreciate your input to many needed conversations!

ICYMI - Dems flipped a seat in Tarrant County and Republicans called an emergency meeting.

Trump carried the district by 17 points in 2024, so if Texas Republicans are in panic mode there, the entire state is in play.

Powerful.

Like most of these “people’, we know they never listened, nor paid attention while in history or geography classes.
They would have learned what comprises “America”, what is “the U.S.A”.

But, you need eyes that see and ears that listen.

Unfortunately, they do not have either.

#BadBunny #SheShed 🩷
Michael Garrett - NC Senate o 13h • © I watched Bad Bunny deliver the most American halftime show I have ever seen. Then I came home and watched it again. And I am not okay. In the best possible way. He sang every single word in Spanish. Every. Single. Word. He danced through sugarcane fields built on a football field in California while the President of the United States sat somewhere calling it "disgusting." Lady Gaga came out and did the salsa. Ricky Martin lit up the night. A couple got married on the field. He handed his Grammy, the one he won eight days ago for Album of the Year, to a little boy who looked up at him the way every child looks up when they dare to believe the world has a place for them. And then this man, this son of a truck driver and a schoolteacher from Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, stood on the biggest stage on the planet and said "God bless America." And then he started naming them. Chile. Argentina. Uruguay. Paraguay. Bolivia. Peru. Ecuador. Brazil. Colombia. Venezuela. Panama. Costa Rica. Nicaragua. Honduras. El Salvador. Guatemala. Mexico. Cuba. Dominican Republic. Jamaica. The United States. Canada. And then, his voice breaking with everything he carries, "Mi patria, Puerto Rico. Seguimos aqui." My homeland, Puerto Rico. We are still here. The flags came. Every single one of them. Carried across that field by dancers and musicians while the jumbotron lit up with the only words that mattered: "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE." I teared up. I'm not ashamed to say it. I sat on my couch and I wept because THAT is the America I believe in. That is the American story, not the sanitized, gated, English-only version that small and frightened people try to sell us. The REAL one. The messy, beautiful, multilingual, multicolored, courageous one. The one that has always been built by hands that speak every language and pray in every tongue and come from every corner of this hemisphere. That is the America I want Jack and Charlotte to know. That when the moment came, when the whole world was watching, a Puerto Rican kid who grew up to become the most-streamed artist on Earth stood in front of 100 million people, sang in his mother's language, blessed every nation in the Americas, and spiked a football that read "Together, we are America" into the ground. Not with anger. With joy. With love so big it made hate look exactly as small as it is. And what did the President do? He called it "absolutely terrible." He said "nobody understands a word this guy is saying." He called it "a slap in the face to our Country." The leader of the free world watched a celebration of love, culture, and everything this hemisphere has given to the world, and all he could see was something foreign. Something threatening. Something disgusting. Let that sink into your bones. The man who is supposed to represent all of us looked at the flags of our neighbors, heard the language of 500 million Americans across this hemisphere, and felt attacked. That's not strength. That's not patriotism. That is poverty of the soul. And then there was the Turning Point show. Kid Rock in a college arena in North Dakota. Three million viewers watching a man who once wrote a song about liking underage girls perform as the "family-friendly" alternative to a Puerto Rican artist celebrating love. They called it the "All-American Halftime Show", as if America has a velvet rope. As if this country belongs to some of us and not all of us. As if you need to sing in English to count. Here's what I want to say to everyone who posted about that show tonight, who shared it proudly, who turned away from Bad Bunny's celebration because it was in Spanish and the flags weren't only red, white, and blue: Your children will see those posts. Your grandchildren will find them. The internet doesn't forget. And one day, when the history of this moment is written, when our kids and their kids look back at 2026 the w… don't say that with anger. I say it with sadness. Because hate is an inheritance nobody asks for, and yet it gets passed down just the same. Bad Bunny didn't say "ICE out" tonight. He didn't need to. He just showed the whole world what America looks like when we are not afraid of each other. When culture is shared, not policed. When language is music, not a threat. When a flag from every nation in this hemisphere can walk across a football field together and the only words you need are the ones he gave us: The only thing more powerful than hate is love. Over 100 million people saw that tonight. And no Truth Social post can take it away.

Donald Trump angry the official Super Bowl Halftime Show with Bad Bunny, because it was NOT about Trump. Trump is also insulting Olympic athletes because they are NOT making the Olympics about TRUMP. The performers and athletes are making it about the America they love and NOT Trump's evil.

There are plenty of actions you can take to help stop #ICELawlessness & cruelty, but the most important is helping in the GA-14 race.

On Mar 10, there's a special election for MTG'S seat.

Shawn Harris has a shot of winning & we could flip the House! Please volunteer or donate.

18 mo baby Amalia had COVID-19, RSV & pneumonia.

#ICE nearly killed her.

What if your precious child were dangerously sick & denied medical care?

What if you & your baby were being held in a facility serving worms in the food, with foul water & nothing to keep warm but a thin foil blanket?
