This right here!!! 👊🤨💯 SEC School boycott. And yes, that includes BLACK ATHLETES TRANSFERRING SCHOOLS. That’s a huge financial loss for colleges that have no problem recruiting black athletes, but suddenly go quiet when it comes to supporting their rights for real representation in government.
Yes, the ruling in Virginia is devastating, unfair, and outrageous. But does it mean we’re not going to win the house in November? Only if we decide it does. We must not do that.

You’re being led by people who don't even know who you are anymore. I don’t mean that disrespectfully. I mean you grew. Your mindset shifted. But you’re still making decisions based on a version of you that doesn't exist.
Trump took the MAGA 2012 autopsy the one about more inclusion and such, and flushed it. The anti-democracy *had* been on a roll, but now the egos are getting involved with their own careerism extremist ways. The crowded fields in California and now this autopsy ended that.
