As we are in cookout season, here’s a gentle reminder for the village:
People aren’t always talkative.
People don't eat foods they don't want.
People decide if/who they hug.
People may need a moment to process a crowded space.
Children are people. Respect them as persons.

SVG haters saying he won because of mixed conditions is really something when you consider rain was only a factor in the first stage. Dude dominated the weekend, get over it.

If one more friend/acquaintance I know and love exposes themselves as a Trump/Musk/RFK Jr. truther, I might paint my walls with my brain.

Is the new thing with liberals to post about how your heart hurts for the country, then turn right around and post racist/classist "I told you so" bullshit?

When will Americans realize that doomposting does jack shit to make anything better?
We have an entire world of activism pathways at our fingertips to help stop the bleeding in the next four years, yet we wait for the end of the world instead of preventing it.
Be better. For our nation's sake.

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

The only man I will be honoring today.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. reminds us that the fight for equality and justice begins with action.
Today, we honor his legacy by striving to make a difference—together. #MLKDAY
