Sadio Mane, a Senegalese soccer star, earns approximately $10.2 million annually. He gave the world a rude awakening after some fans were flabbergasted when they saw him carrying a cracked iPhone 11.
His response was awesome:
"Why would I want ten Ferraris, 20 diamond watches, and two jet planes? I starved, I worked in the fields, played barefoot, and I didn't go to school.
Now I can help people. I prefer to build schools and give poor people food or clothing. I have built schools and a stadium, provide clothes, shoes, and food for people in extreme poverty.
In addition, I give 70 euros per month to all people from a very poor Senegalese region in order to contribute to their family economy.
I do not need to display luxury cars, luxury homes, trips, and even planes. I prefer that my people receive some of what life has given me."

People hating on Angel Reese or Caitlin Clark. Stop.
Unapologetically confident young women should be celebrated NOT hated.
Get used to it.

The great Jim Clyburn on Manchin's insistence that a voting rights bill be bipartisan.“I am a Black person, descended of people who were given the vote by the 15th Amendment. The 15th amendment was not a bipartisan vote, it was a single party vote that gave us the right to vote”

"They tell me they didn’t know. They thought it was a hoax. They thought it was political. They thought because they had a certain blood type...they wouldn’t get as sick."
This is heartbreaking. Shame on everyone in a position of power who has killed people thru disinformation.

I want to clarify that I am not opposed to boycotts.
How could I be?
I believe that strategic, well-purposed boycotts work and that we can create synergy and galvanize a critical mass focused on direct action that yields sustainable results.
I also believe this:

The work is here.
The work is offline.
The work is online.
The work is presence.
The work is strategic absence.
The work is in the streets.
The work is in legislative halls.
The work is in art.

The work is at the polls.
The work is wherever we are.

As you honor my father today, please honor my mother, as well. She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded less than three months after Daddy died. Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no #MLKDay. #MLK #BelovedCommunity

There's understandably been a lot of talk today about the 25th Amendment and the Impeachment Clause. We should also focus on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which disqualifies those who engage in insurrection against the Constitution of the United States from holding office.

The reports that foreign govts have accessed voter reg data to influence the election are concerning, but voters should rest assured that casting a ballot is safe & secure. All ballots are secret—no one knows how a particular individual casts their vote. bit.ly/37tjkQE
