I'm the CEO of the Obama Foundation. The Obama Presidential Center is an $850 million project in Jackson Park on the South Side of Chicago. It will be the most expensive presidential center in American history. We are building it with unpaid volunteers. I need to explain what community engagement means. Community engagement means the community provides the labor. The volunteer program launched in March. Seventy-five to one hundred "Community Ambassadors." They lead tours. They organize events. They train other volunteers. They do not receive compensation. My salary is $740,000. The architects earned $60 million. The general contractor earned over $200 million. The Community Ambassadors gain experience in building community. That is the phrase in the recruitment materials. I approved the recruitment materials. The median household income in the surrounding census tracts is $31,000. The volunteers come from these tracts. They commute to an $850 million building to work for free while the person who approved the volunteer program earns $740,000. I am the person who approved the volunteer program. We held a volunteer appreciation event. The catering company was paid. The event planner was paid. The photographer was paid. The volunteers were thanked. Thanked is not a form of compensation. Thanked is what you receive when you are not receiving compensation. That is community engagement.

Only in Texas can you drive eight hours and still be in Texas. Only in Texas can you find bathrooms cleaner than in a five-star hotel—we’re talking Buc-ee’s. Only in Texas…

@LynneBP_294 How do you spell AI? Unless they had belts on, they would have left their seats. Boats don't have seat belts.

@Inadvertantview @brainiac6996 @WallStreetApes This happened to me and they refused to sit together!! I kept getting up to “stretch”, old football injury. After the 3rd “stretch” in 30 min, she asked if I was gonna keep getting up. I said, “every 10 min until one of you switches… I don’t care which”. I got the window. 🤣

The last time I flew Southwest in November it was a full flight. And I was boarding in the C group. So there were only center seats. And I ended up stuck between this man and this woman both very heavy set one in the aisle, one against the window. And I had to sit between them. Which was disgusting. But what made this worse was they were traveling together. They deliberately chose the window and aisle seats so they would be more comfortable. My elbows could not touch the armrests. So not only were they rolling onto me they were talking over me. Gross.

American has a flight, he flies priority because he flies all the time, he even has A-List he flies so much Southwest is making him buy a second seat because they say he’s too large. This has never happened before This is what happens when investment firms take over businesses In 2024 Hedge fund Elliott Investment Management acquired a significant stake in Southwest Arlines, initially around 11% for about $1.9 billion and pushed for major changes. This included moves toward more profit-focused strategies like assigned seating, ending free checked bags, and other policy changes that began rolling out in 2025–2026 There are countless videos of people saying they have been stopped to purchase a second seat now

Tell me you don’t understand Florida without telling me you don’t understand Florida. We like our freedom down here. And we are never going to elect some incel bitch who wants to have statewide school uniforms or any other new rules. Fuck off back to wherever you came from.

Next Generation Action Network (NGAN)
The Next Generation Action Network is aware of the statements and social media commentary being circulated by an individual named Sarah J. Fields. Let us be clear: our organization will not engage in back-and-forth with individuals whose pattern of behavior reflects racism, misinformation, and personal attacks designed to undermine the work of a human and civil rights organization. We first became aware of this individual during the early stages of the Karmelo Anthony case when she began inserting herself into the public narrative surrounding the matter. Since that time, she has continued attempting to spread false claims, including circulating what she alleges to be a “letter” on social media. Our organization has no knowledge of such a document, and to date, we have not been contacted by any law enforcement agency regarding any investigation into the Next Generation Action Network. NGAN operates with integrity and transparency. When our organization or our clients require security services for events or sensitive situations, we contract with professional security providers, as is standard practice for organizations operating in public spaces. No member of our internal staff presents themselves as law enforcement or security personnel unless it is in a volunteer capacity during a critical incident where immediate community safety is involved. Our organization’s mission has always been rooted in advocacy, justice, and the protection of human and civil rights. If Ms. Fields wishes to continue filing complaints or spreading documents across social media, she is free to do so. We will give her all the paper she needs to file whatever she wants. It will not deter our organization, and it will not distract us from the work that matters. The Next Generation Action Network will not stop our mission of standing up for justice for all people regardless of race, color, creed, or sexual orientation. At this moment in America, we are at a crossroads where some believe their attacks, opinions, or social media commentary will somehow derail movements that fight for justice and equality. Let us be clear: we do not give a damn about the noise when it comes from those attempting to discredit our work through racism and bad faith. Our focus remains where it has always been on protecting our communities, defending human rights, and continuing the fight for justice. No individual, no smear campaign, and no amount of misinformation will stop that mission.

@shipwreckedcrew I’m a casual observer, enough to know all the drivers, but not enough to know about engines. I was wondering what was going on. Thanks for the explanation.

I've been a F1 fan for a number of years off and on -- pretty much since Mario Andretti moved to F1 and won the Drivers' Championship. My interest has waxed and waned over the years, but I've been watching consistently for the past 15 years or so, the Lewis Hamilton era. What they've done to the competition this year with the engines -- 50-50 split in power between internal combustion and electricity harvesting -- is simply beyond criticism. They have combined a great advancement in the aerodynamics package, with an almost fatal blow to how the cars are powered. As someone online said, the cars sound like turbo charged hand-held hair dryers stuck on high. They made the change to entice Honda to remain as an engine manufacturer, and bring Audi into the sport as an engine manufacturer. Both companies were committed to furthering electric engine technology for their passenger car business. But through two races under the new rules, Honda has terrible reliability problems, Mercedes seems to have huge advantage in performance -- for its own team -- while the other teams it sells Mercedes engines to can't seem to figure them out. Today Mercedes finishes 1st and 2nd in China -- like it did last week in Australia -- which McLaren, who buys engines from Mercedes -- had both cars unable to start the race because of engine problems. Races in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain have been cancelled so there is a 4 week break coming up. Ditch these stupid motors, build some V12's off the shelf, modify the body specs so they will fit, and just race the cars without all the nonsense spawned by the "Green Revolution."

@TreyDavis497336 @teameffujoe Private surveillance cameras everywhere tie directly into law enforcement in real time. License plate readers track your every movement. Sheriff’s Dept are a bunch of lawless cowboys. It’s been quite eye opening.

Virginia Democrats actually did it, they PASSED HB61 This bill prioritizes government contracts based on race and gender White People will pushed to the back of the line in consideration for government contracts, and not be considered at all for some contracts “It forces state agencies to hit a 42% quota for SWaM businesses, meaning businesses owned by minorities, women, or certain designated groups. It also sets aside government contracts under $100,000 specifically for those businesses. (Meaning White People cannot be awarded these contracts) Translation, if you're a small business owner who doesn't fall into those categories, you're pushed to the back of the line, not because of price or quality or experience, but because of race and gender quotas. That's not equality. That's state-mandated discrimination in government contracting, and it's happening right here in Virginia”

If @TuckerCarlson is actually arrested, the government will have crossed the Rubicon. Whatever ridiculous charges they bring up, everyone will know real reason was that he opposed the war and Israel. He'll be considered first American political prisoner within our own country.
