Today is Monday & my frustration w/folks that do panels, festivals, award shows, & interviews about inner city issues yet only show up to TALK about the work needed to be done. Especially during voting cycles.

Black men have the worst response rate from elected officials, I wonder why they might be disengaged from voting…

I don’t want to understate Angel Reese’s skill set but her force of will has defined this game. It’s been amazing to watch.
(She just grabbed a FOH rebound as I typed this.)

I don’t really care for all the people wishing Americans protested like the French because when there was a nation-wide protest that started from Black people challenging police brutality, a lot of people were cheering on the police and state kidnapping and running people over

Truth is, Jalen Hurts deserves quality and humane healthcare whether he’s a Super Bowl champ or not.
Good healthcare shouldn’t need a qualifier — and that includes employment. Hope this helps.

Dream players gotta be more deliberate on screen & roll. Offense looks great when everyone is moving, but when players are picking up their dribble near the key? It’s a mess.

Angel Reese gon be hell in this series. Running the floor, playing with physicality. And her energy is contagious.

Shaping up to be the best day of college football this season. Texas and Indiana have already hosted a couple of thrillers.

Indiana needing a toe touch TD to en route to winning a national championship and losing today on a toe touch blunder is poetry. Bad ball by the QB though. Buckeyes cheat death.

We found Wu-Tang's infamous 1-of-1 album, "Once Upon A Time in Shaolin" — once purchased by pharma bro Martin Shkreli — and played it for Method Man (and you) for the first time.

This is an unequivocally false statement. Players inside and outside the organization have repeatedly issued complaints with the Fever Fanbase. While it’s not all Indy fans, it’s certainly a trend. To say the attacks have “no basis in reality” is disingenuous.

These folks can't do shxt with Angie. Not the GOP. Not centrist Dems. She's here to stay.
I don't wanna COUCH my words here: I know JD Vance, his eyeliner, and absent Ashley Moody are used to running away from people when things get tough because they care more about themselves and their billionaire buddies than the people they represent. But this is my home. /1
