Every blue moon, I scroll through X. The racism on this platform is sickening. It makes me really sad and to realize this country has not grown one bit since the civil rights era. People have just been waiting to bring the unapologetic vitriol out. Why are people so hateful?

Really America?

@CoryBooker I rarely post on X because, well, everyone with sense should know why. But I came on here today to say THANK YOU @SenatorCory_

I’m heading to the Senate floor because Donald Trump and Elon Musk have shown a complete disregard for the rule of law, the Constitution, and the needs of the American people. You can tune in on CSPAN, YouTube, X, and Facebook.

@megynkelly As you should be.

He’s actually crying. Enjoy!

BREAKING: In a stunning leak, JD Vance has called for a federal response to stop women from traveling from red states to blue states to receive reproductive healthcare. Retweet so all Americans hear this devastating leak.

It only takes a few minutes to fact check. While Walz mentioned IVF, his wife later clarified they used IUI. This mix-up is common among non-specialists. Fertility treatments are complex and nuanced. No lies told.

I don't know why this man keeps calling everyone else weird when he is embellishing a truly bizarre level of falsehoods in his life story.

In 2020, one of the main reasons I voted for Joe Biden was because I wanted trump out of office. PERIOD. Don't get me wrong: I knew Joe was a good guy, and he had a ton of useful experience in politics as well as in the White House, but he wasn't my first choice, and I wasn't expecting much. But NOW I'm voting for Biden in November mainly because he blew my expectations of him all the way out of the damn water. He's already the most legislatively successful President in the modern era, having signed key consequential bills into law, like the Infrastructure bill, the PACT Act, the CHIPs Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act. Now, millions of Americans have insulin capped at $35/month. The infrastructure bill is so good that Republicans who voted against it are clamoring to take credit for the funds going into their states. He recovered and created a total of 15 million jobs. The last time unemployment was under 4% this long, we put a man on the moon for the first time. Here's a new one, that not a lot of people are talking about, but it's a BFD: if you've ever had a flight delayed for hours or canceled, or lost your luggage, you'll love this: automatic compensation, within 20 days, and you don't even have to spend hours on the phone to make it happen. He's gone after bullshit junk fees that companies charge us, death by a thousand cuts of mystery, mounting fees. I prefer my President to be hard-working, compassionate, intelligent, and thoughtful. I prefer my President to respect our NATO alliances, and the role we play in the world. I prefer my President to respect our fallen soldiers, and not to see them as "suckers and losers." I prefer my President who wants to leave the world, and his office, in better shape than he found it. I prefer President Biden. 🙏💪

Yessir!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Best of luck guys!!

Three years ago, I realized one of my lifelong dreams that reflects the racial progress this country has made throughout its history. I became a diversity hire. A thread.

The kindest words from @lukecombs : « What an unreal Grammy week to say the least. There were so many laughs, tears, hugs, and cheers that it almost doesn’t seem real (…) When it comes to the performance it’s still hard to process how amazing it really was to be up there on that stage. No doubt a defining moment of my career. Tracy, I want to send my sincerest thanks to you for allowing me to be a part of your moment. Thank you for the impact you have had on my musical journey, and the musical journeys of countless other singers, songwriters, musicians, and fans alike. I hope you felt how much you mean to the world that night. We were all in awe of you up there and I was just the guy lucky enough to have the best seat in the house. » 🥹 Thank YOU for everything!

There are no words during a time like this. Just know that you and your family are on the hearts of many people today. The outreach is a testament to who you are. My prayer is that God will comfort and give you strength daily. 🙏🏾

I felt that one. #earthquake

@thejackhopkins Beautifully written. I felt like I was there with you.

Wednesday evening, my wife and I took my ten-year old daughter to the middle school for orientation. While walking around the school and meeting her new teachers, I noticed one teacher I didn’t recognize. She had just moved to town. She was an beautiful woman-in her mid to late forties-with piercing ice blue eyes. We briefly made eye contact before her eyes quickly locked on to the tattoo on my upper arm. As she stepped closer-her eyes still fixated on my “ink”-I could see that her eyes were reddening and glossing up quickly. “I was a Navy Hospital Corpsman” I said. “A Medic.” She was silent, and did not break eye contact with the American flag that wrapped around my left arm. Her hands started to rise: She stopped just short of actually touching my tattoo, as if some part of her brain had suddenly said “Don’t. It’s not appropriate.” Then, with the fluidity of a ballerina she slowly raised her head, locking her eyes on to mine. We were less that a foot and a half from each other. I saw nothing but pain and sadness. “My son was killed in Afghanistan. I have a picture of him in the room. Would you like to see him?” she asked, with a voice you could sense had a wail just beneath the surface, wanting to escape. “Yes. I would.” I said, as we continued looking at each other for a length of time, that, in any other context would have been disrespectful to my wife. We walked into the classroom. There he was. A picture of her son was on the wall, right behind her desk. It was his U.S. Army bootcamp photo. “He was twenty-years old” she said softly. My posture stiffened: I felt my body automatically shift to an “attention” position as I placed my right hand over my heart. By now, my wife was crying. This Gold Star Mother was crying. I had a lump in my throat and my breathing had become shallow and more restricted. Turning to this heartbroken teacher, I said, “I’m so sorry.” I could tell that she wanted to reply, but couldn’t. “Can I give you a hug?” I asked her in a lowered voice. “Of course” she said with a look of “Yes, please hug me. I need a hug.” The fact that I had only known this teacher for less than 2-3 minutes was lost. As we embraced, she hugged me like she was another teenaged daughter on mine, who had just come to me in agony after her first breakup with a boyfriend. Actually, like a Mother….who had just lost a twenty-year old son. As I slowly allowed my arms to release and move away from her body, she audibly sighed. It was as though 10,000 tiny daggers had temporarily ceased stabbing her in the heart. “It was a pleasure to meet you.” I said, as I extended my hand to end the moment on a more formal measure, thereby sealing what had happened between our hallway “Hello” and our handshake goodbye, in a sort of time capsule experience that she could return to as often as needed. While I have no idea what her political affiliation might be, I suspect that she’s a republican. Most everyone here is a republican. I also strongly suspect that she would never vote for Donald Trump again, if she is. She’s a Gold Star Mother. She’s a real Patriot. Her son was a real Patriot. She knows what real sacrifice means. He, gave his life. She knows-on a cellular level-what democracy is about and what it takes to protect it. People like her also know when someone like Trump, has trashed everything her son served to defend. Come to think of it, I think it’s very possible that she was once a republican, who, now…has at the very least shifted to an independent. I saw signs of it, actually. As I departed, I turned, about half way across the room, and said “Freedom around the world depends on people like your son.” She immediately replied. “Thank you. Yes, it does. Ukraine knows this all too well” as she placed her hand…over her heart.
