Prodigal Son

By Jasmine Crockett: "Hey Tim Scott, You spent years tap dancing through every interview, every speech, every Sunday show appearance telling America that racism was basically over and that your success story proved everybody else just needed to work harder and complain less. You carried water for people who mocked civil rights, demonized poor people, gutted diversity programs, attacked voting rights, and treated Black history like a disease. And for what? No VP slot. No cabinet throne. No real power. Not even basic respect. You confessed your admiration on national television for people who viewed you as nothing more than a convenient talking point — the “See? We have one!” guy standing in the background smiling on cue. Then the second you showed the smallest trace of independence and questioned that disgusting Obama monkey post, your own side turned on you like starving wolves. Suddenly the loyal house servant wasn’t loyal enough. Now you’re sitting in a car recording cellphone videos reminding the world that you’re still Black. Trust us, Senator — nobody forgot. The problem is that you spent so much time trying to convince other people that racism wasn’t real that now, when it smacks you directly in the face, you want sympathy from the same community you lectured for years. You defended the people stripping away protections for minorities, women, the poor, and working-class families. You stood beside people cheering the destruction of programs our grandparents marched, bled, and died for. And now you look shocked that the crowd you entertained never actually saw you as an equal. The Bible talks about the Prodigal Son returning home after losing everything. But the Prodigal Son came home humble. You spent years helping burn the house down. And now you’re politically homeless: too Black for the people you defended, too eager to defend them for the people you abandoned. That’s the tragedy of selling your dignity for a seat at a table that was never meant for you. Tim, you may be the PRODIGAL SON, BUT YOU CAN’T COME HOME." We saw it coming. He didn't want to.

Not enough people are talking about this. A Florida airport was renamed after Donald Trump. He walked away with the trademark, the licensing rights, and a deal that lets him profit off every piece of merchandise sold there. But the story of how he got it is even worse. County staff told commissioners that rejecting the name change would put state transportation funding at risk. DeSantis has already removed state attorneys and school board members who dared to cross him. That is the reality the Democratic commissioner who cast the deciding vote was living in when she made her choice: hand Donald Trump control of a public airport or watch Florida Republicans strip funding from the very people she was elected to represent. That is absolutely insane. Florida Republicans handed Trump a money machine and called it a naming rights deal, and the people of Palm Beach County never got a say in any of it. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/m…

@LeftSentThis Brother Kwame's name change wasn't religious based.

I would not call El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz “Malcolm Little.” I would not call Muhammad Ali “Cassius Clay.” I would not call Kwame Ture “Stokely Carmichael.” I would not call Jamil Al-Amin “H. Rap Brown.” I would not call Assata Shakur “JoAnne Chesimard.” I would not call Kareem Abdul-Jabbar “Lew Alcindor.” I would not call Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf “Chris Jackson.” When people insist on using a persons discarded name, they are not being “historically accurate.” They are being disrespectful and I see this weaponized most against Black folks whose name changes are associated with abandoning a name soaked in chattel slavery or with an embracing of Islam as their way of life.

@IvyMarine1908 @NAACP In the year of our Lord, two thousand and twenty six, which political parties ideology and platform align more with Thadeus Stevens and John Brown? I'm not even D9 but whomever crossed you needs to be put on probation.

@NAACP I'm a black person and my policy preferences aren't represented in my 'blue' state. Can we talk about that or is this just about DemonKKKrat Party plantation politics? Asking for folks who know black people don't belong to DemonKKKrats and expect tangibles for our votes! 👊🏾🇺🇸

The NAACP is taking a stand. Today, we launch the #OutofBounds campaign, a national call to action for Black athletes, families, fans, and allies. In response to states erasing Black voting representation after the Supreme Court’s Louisiana v. Callais decision, we are demanding accountability. "Out of Bounds is our answer: we are naming the contradiction, and we are calling on Black athletes, families, fans, and consumers to act on it. The same power that built these programs can be redirected." —NAACP President and CEO @DerrickNAACP This is about more than sports. It’s about justice.

@TontoStephenson @NobleNegroe Remaining silent gives room for doubt, but the more you speak the doubt of your ignorance disappears.

@NobleNegroe I fully agree. He had only disdain for the Democratic Party and their racist agenda designed to keep black Americans dependent upon the government. His strength of conviction and being outspoken regarding this resulted in his being silenced.

🔴 Today would be Malcolm X’s 101st birthday. I’ve studied his work for decades and I earnestly believe if he we’re alive today he would definitely have a great relationship with President Donald Trump. He’d likely vote MAGA. Do you agree?

@BetMGM Like hell we do! I can't stand their fan base

Everybody wants to see the Knicks get a ring

@SenEricSchmitt Yeah, fuq you and the state you rep. Why were there "race based" districts drawn in the first place? Because ya grand daddy wasn't shit. Ya daddy ain't shit. And you obviously didn't fall far from the tree.

For 50 years, Democrats wielding warped Voting Rights Act as a political weapon—demanding racially drawn districts, absurd maps, and artificial advantages. Tomorrow, I’m chairing a hearing to put that regime on trial. The DOJ must protect all Americans and end racist maps.

@realJennaEllis Says the woman CLEARLY wearing makeup 😭

If the Bible calls it immoral, your opinion doesn’t matter.

@sagesteele We ain't @stephenasmith All skinfolk ain't kinfolk Tantamount to house slaves wanting to be included with Harriet and the railroad. Not gonna happen.

It’s been this way for years. The hypocrisy is thick.

@LuckyMcGee This dumb white bitch. If she or they were one of us, they'd know, not all skinfolk is kinfolk. Dumb ass comments get dumb ass responses.

Fun Fact of the Day: These Four Republicans Byron Donalds (FL-19), Wesley Hunt (TX-38), John James (MI-10), and Burgess Owens (UT-4) represent majority white congressional districts, and NOT one of them was allowed to join the Black Congressional Caucus. Are they not black enough? 🤔 I’m starting to think the democrats are being very disingenuous about all this talk of black people being unable to be elected or represented, the black vote being repressed, and the “Jim Crow 2.0” bullshit. 🤨

@DCPoliceUnion When you treat the children of diplomats, Georgetown, or K ST lawyers the same way, you'll have credibility. Until then, fuq off pigs.

There are dozens of elected officials, NGOs, activists, and other grifters in DC that spend all of their time trying to convince everyone that situations like this are “over policed” and that police intervention is “criminalizing youth.”

.@Katelyn_Caralle you state that you're a Pennsylvanian in DC; does that mean you come from the Mississippi part of Pennsylvania? Yeah, I think it does.

@evangelistsuzan @USW_PR_HONTata Insanity at its most political, says the "maga evangelist!!" Couldn't make up the irony even if I wanted to. 😂😂🤦🏾

@USW_PR_HONTata 3 MSMs, 4 Air Medals, his geedunk ribbons don't even start until the third row, and the Biden administration kicked this hero out for refusing a vaccine. Insanity at its most political.

Today, we are sharing the story of another resilient warrior who was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, Kennie Kelly. Chief Warrant Officer 5 Kelly, a Master Aviator, was involuntarily separated in September 2022 after refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine. Following the release of EO 14184, he worked directly with the dedicated @USArmy COVID-19 Reinstatement & Reconciliation Task Force to return to service. With support from the Task Force - and under the leadership of @SecWar & @SecArmy - CW5 Kelly was reinstated in February 2026 with full relief, including backpay, duty station preference, entitlements, benefits, and constructive service credit. He now serves alongside his three sons, each carving their own path in the @USArmy, @USNavy & @USAirForce. Said CW5 Kelly, “Putting the uniform back on is an absolute honor that truly feels like coming home. Though the COVID separation was a difficult chapter, it ultimately deepened my dedication to the @DeptofWar mission and the nation I serve.” Welcome back, CW5 Kelly. Hooah!

I first met Clark Reynolds when he was just three years old at our Black History Month reception at the White House. Over the last ten years, it's been wonderful getting updates about his life through his letters. Check out how he’s doing now:

@GovPressOffice ‘SLUMPY SEAN’ Hannity on Failing FOX ‘NEWS’…BAD TV!!!

Don't forget these people helped get our voting rights stripped.

So you mean to tell me that someone down your ancestry line survived being chaıned to other human bodięs for several months in the bottom of a disease-infested ship during the Middle Passage, lost their language, customs and traditions, picked up the English language as best they could while working free of charge from sun up to sun down as they watched babies sold from out of their arms and women rapęd by ruthless sIave owners. Took names with no last names, no birth certificates, no heritage of any kind, braved the Underground Railroad, survived the Civil Wąr to enter into sharecropping... Learned to read and write out of sheer will and determination, faced the burning crosses of the KƘK, everted their eyes at the black bodies swinging from ropes hųng on trees... Fought in World Wąrs as soldiers only to return to America as boys, marched in Birmingham, hosed in Selma, jailed in Wilmington, assassinated in Memphis, segregated in the South, ghettoed in the North, ignored in history books, stereotyped in Hollywood... and in spite of it all, someone in your family line endured every era to make sure you would get here, but you receive one rejection, face one obstacle, lose one friend, get overlooked, and you want to quit? How dare you entertain the very thought of quitting. People, you will never know, survived from generation to generation so you could succeed. Don’t you dare let them down! It is NOT in our DNA to quit!

@_EagleTimes You're being willfully obtuse. You could bitch slap a QB when Vick came to the league. Not so much during Hurts tenure. That has a drastic impact on completion percentage.

Through 93 career games, Jalen Hurts vs Michael Vick: • Pass yards: 17,891 vs. 13,199 • Comp %: 64.4 vs. 54.6 • Total TDs: 173 vs. 111 • INTs: 45 vs. 52 Hurts is so underrated 👀

@bobwebberlawyer Because the Top 10% was NEVER an requirement for immigration, numb nuts

Early in my career as an immigration lawyer I casually mentioned to a client of mine, an engineer from India, in H-1B visa status that it seemed like Indians had a natural ability to excel in math and science. I will never forget his reply, “Bob, we have plenty of dumb people - perhaps more dumb people than the entire population of the United States. But you will never deal with them.” ••• Maybe it was a politically incorrect way to say it but if the US is able to “recruit” the top 10% of every country and those people come and bring their work ethic and ability (and gene pool) — it is just really weird why we would fight that because basically no other country in the world can do that. The top 10% of hard workers and brainpower from India and China constitutes a lot of people. •••
