Question the story you’ve told yourself about yourself. Try things, even if you’ve told yourself you won’t like it or won’t be good at it. Save $ every paycheck, even if it’s only $10.

The dude who grew up with his mom buying annual Chanel jackets was also just lecturing everyone on spending $28 on lunch btw.
Kevin O’Leary says your closet is full of crap and you should start buying quality
"My mother taught me don't buy crap. She used to only buy one Chanel jacket a year, but a really good one"
"When she died, there was a cat fight for her clothing amongst the women in my family because they were now vintage Chanels"
"Most people if you go look in your closet it's full of crap you don't need. Don't buy the crap, buy the good stuff and just buy less of it"
How did letting Trump win improve the situation in Gaza?
Was your answer to Gaza making everywhere else worse?
The Gaza reason for not supporting Kamala Harris is illogical.

Ok-
We didnt get the screen count we wanted for I Love Boosters- but we got 1700, which is good.
This means: if it's not on a screen near u tomorrow, it won't get there-
unless we blow it out on 1700, then we can get more.
So- please travel to a screen even if it's not close!

Colman Domingo spoke to Men's Health about his experience coming out as gay to his family in the 1990s. The first person he told was his older brother:
"I told him that I was gay. He looked at me and was just like, 'What?' He just couldn’t believe it. Eventually, he said, 'I don’t care, man. I love you anyway.' And he just hugged me. Then he said, 'Have you told anyone else?' I said, no. He said, 'Alright, this stays between you and me.”’
Her sister found out two days later:
"She was pissed off. I said, 'Look, yes, it was really hard for me to tell him.' She said, 'No, no, no. Why didn’t you tell me first?' She was pissed off because she didn’t get the information first.’
Some time later, he told his mother—who accepted it calmly. Twenty minutes later, the phone rings and she says:
“I talked to your stepfather.” She puts him on and he says, in his blue-collar masculine way, “You’re a good boy and there’s nothing you can tell me that would make me stop loving you.”’

I reiterate, the Democratic Base of Black voters dont need a report for things we already know.
We gave warnings & this country decided to fail an open book test. Dem leadership helped by pushing out Biden and half assing support for Kamala.
Read more about what I have to say here: democrats.org/after-action
ALT Statement from DNC Chair Ken Martin: When I was elected DNC chair, I commissioned an after action review of the 2024 election that I wanted to be honest and transparent, and with actionable and specific takeaways for the future of the Democratic Party. When I received the report late last year, it wasn’t ready for primetime—not even close—and because no source material was provided, it would have meant starting over. I could not in good faith put the DNC’s stamp of approval on the report that was produced. After last November’s massive Democratic wins, I didn’t want to create a distraction, but by not putting the report out, I ended up creating an even bigger distraction. For that, I sincerely apologize. For full transparency, I am releasing the report as we received it, in its entirety, unedited and unabridged. It does not meet my standards, and it won’t meet your standards, but I am doing this because people need to be able to trust the Democratic Party and trust our word.

The Washington @Nationals saw the post below and invited two of our aspiring journalists to interview Nasim Nuñez!
I’m so proud of them and they asked great follow-up questions. Journalism opens doors. @WABJDC

He’s right bc we tax income, not wealth.
Bezos takes out a tiny salary, pays the income tax, and lives off loans borrowed against his stocks, basically tax free. They all do this and now 935 billionaires hold more wealth than 170 million Americans.
It’s time to tax wealth.

it's genuinely crazy that Elon got free reign to do the exact thing that every "just cut spending" dipshit has wanted to do for decades, it failed catastrophically, and they're still running the exact same script like nothing happened
Jeff Bezos: "Any corporate or Amazon CFO could find 3% (to cut) in Federal budget on a Tuesday afternoon" to fund zero taxes for bottom half/poor. "This is a skills issue" calling out administration and management incompetence in Federal government and local NYC city school system (He is also calling for higher wages for teachers while cutting outlandish admin budget)

A fact that’s often overlooked: many of the recently dismantled and defunded ‘diversity’ initiatives on college campuses were focused on geographic diversity- ie encouraging and supporting underrepresented rural students to attend colleges.
Baby with the bath water?
Colleges are making efforts to encourage more students from rural areas to apply.
90% of rural students graduate from high school, more than their peers in cities or suburbs. But only a little more than half go straight to college.

Timothy Weah was essentially told to “shut up and dribble” by his #USMNT manager Mauricio Pochettino after he spoke out against outrageous World Cup ticket prices.
Here he is at Zohran Mamdani’s affordable tickets press conference.

Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to pay them a fair wage and not hoard the value of their production while claiming taxation is too much of a burden on you
Every day they come up with a bad idea.

There are 26 members of Congress who were born in other countries, including many Republicans. But Nancy Mace only targeted three Democrats who are progressive people of color. This is racist and hateful and I call on Rep. Mace to withdraw her statement and check her conscience.

“Van Jones, go fuck yourself”
Michael Fanone: “Van Jones went on CNN last night and argued January 6th insurrectionists shouldn’t receive any of Donald Trump’s slush fund. Not because they stormed the Capitol on 1/6 and not because they beat the shit out of law enforcement officers, but because there’s other people who are more deserving. You can’t even make this shit up. Van Jones, go fuck yourself”
