Chadwick was diagnosed with colon cancer four years ago, per reports. During that time, he gave us Civil War, Marshall, Black Panther, Infinity War, Endgame, 21 Bridges and Da 5 Bloods. Lord only knows what he was going through on a daily basis.
Let’s see:
1) She is not paid as much as her male counterparts, despite being better, and far more popular than the men’s team
2) This administration banned pride flags at US embassies, which the Vice President said was the “right decision.”
Can you blame her?
People need to understand how huge this is. Maya Moore is one of the most decorated basketball players of all time and she halted her career IN HER PRIME to right an injustice. This is just amazing.
WNBA star Maya Moore sat out the entire season last year and helped overturn the conviction of Jonathan Irons, who was serving a 50-year prison sentence.
He was finally released today.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but just imagine the reaction if it would have been discovered that anyone connected to Black Lives Matter was plotting to kidnap a United States Governor.
I don’t know who needs to hear this but Reverend Raphael Warnock was polling at 9% when the Atlanta Dream and WNBA players threw their full support behind him and elevated his national profile. Now he’s Georgia’s first black Senator.
Think about it:
@staceyabrams
getting an election stolen from her might lead to a Democratic majority in the Senate and then her being Georgia’s governor in 2022. Won’t black women do it.
Colin Kaepernick was honored today with Amnesty International’s 2018 Ambassador of Conscience Award, which is given annually to someone who embodies the spirit of activism and courage.
In that Inspire Change commercial, the NFL forgot to show the part where they blackballed Colin Kaepernick, have only 3 black NFL head coaches and no majority black ownership.
Trump to the white people with AR-15s throwing a temper tantrum over a haircut — “Liberate”
Trump to those protesting the lack of justice in Minneapolis — “THUGS”
A whole, racist clown.
The issue wasn’t what Joe Biden said, because it was accurate. The issue was that it came from Biden. It also was clearly a joke that didn’t land. But I’m wondering where all this outrage was yesterday when y’all president declared his public devotion to a Nazi sympathizer.
If you’re more irritated/upset/perturbed by OBJ handing out money to LSU players than the fact that Dabo Swinney and Ed Orgeron will together clear $1 million in bonuses for the national title game while their players get nothing, you’re the feds.
Hey NFL/media: Colin Kaepernick was the last quarterback to take the 49ers to the Super Bowl. No matter how much you avoid mentioning it, that actually happened. I seent it.
The fact that suddenly there are no objections to Biden’s presidency being certified is not just about the horrific events of today, but it’s a tell that this always was theatre to some of these clowns. This was a game to them, but they learned how real this shit is today.
Good morning to everyone except the people who support building a wall, and spend considerable time marginalizing brown people, but will drink 30 magaritas and wear a sombrero today. Nobody has any use for you.
Nike became Nike because it was built on the idea of rebellion. This is the same company that dealt w/ the NBA banning Air Jordans. They made Jordan the face of the company at a time when black men were considered to be a huge risk as pitch men. They aren’t new to this.
As we continue to hear the news coming out of Boulder, I’m praying for the police, first responders, and those affected by this tragedy.
May God be with us as we make sense of this senseless violence, and may we unify and not divide during this time.
Somebody gotta say it: The overwhelming support for Joe Biden is based purely off fear that white folks won’t vote for anyone else on that stage. Because there is no way you see him in these moments and think he’s actually the best candidate.
LeBron’s legacy is so much greater than basketball. He is changing lives. The fact that he’s somehow managed to be a better person than a basketball player is nothing short of amazing
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but let black women have this moment. And realize, people have demanded that black women support people who are waaaaaaay more problematic. So yes, we expect y’all to keep that same energy.
So will the daily testing in the Big Ten be available to all students or just the ones who have entire economies built off their free labor?
Asking for the students who pay tuition.
Woke up this morning thinking about how after Abraham Lincoln emancipated the slaves, he paid slaveowners reparations. Not the enslaved. That was his way of helping to ✌🏾unify ✌🏾the country and pacify angry white folks.
Anyway, what’chall having for breakfast?
Young men this is not how a man is supposed to dress. Carrying a purse is not cool. I suppose dressing like this makes it easier to kneel.

1) White people sometimes ask me how they can be an ally.
@EllenPompeo
puts on a master class in how to be one.

@itsgabrielleu
’s facial expressions are a whole ass mood.
I swear I’m not going to spend this day explaining to people that a NASCAR official was the one who found the noose, reported it and then NASCAR released a public statement. It wasn’t the media or Bubba Wallace.
This massive backpedaling from Republicans is actually more insulting. They don’t deserve credit for shit. They have been complicit for four years, and kissed Trump’s ass at every turn. It took an insurrection that killed somebody for them to show some basic decency. Fuck. Off.
For example, every media outlet should include that Delta CEO Ed Bastain asked the CDC to reduce the recommended quarantine time from 10 days to 5 for vaccinated people because of workforce impact. That’s not a health decision. The media needs to frame it that way every time.
I’m old enough to remember Colin Kaepernick explaining exactly why he was protesting, only to see his message sabotaged by performative patriotism. Bad slogans/messaging isn’t the problem. There will never be a nice way to sell progress to people who actually don’t want it.
The NFL tweeting about what happened with George Floyd is the equivalent of when the CIA recognizes Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday. Loved him so much y’all helped to kill him. Get outta here with the bullshit.
Breaking News: The Supreme Court ruled that a high school football coach had a constitutional right to pray at the 50-yard line after his team’s games. The vote was 6 to 3, with the court’s three liberal members in dissent.
34 percent of Harvard students are white. 43 percent of those students are either legacies, children of faculty, kin of donors or a recruited athlete. 75 percent of them would not have gotten in if not for special status (National Bureau of Economic Research).
But when in doubt,
I have a different opinion on this. I applaud
@SHAQ
for admitting this publicly. It will give those who haven’t been voting encouragement. The point is to expand the electorate, not shame folks — ESPECIALLY black men.
Pray for America.
The left wants a civil war.
They have been trying to start one for years.
These people are sick and evil.
All of us on the right want peace, security, equal justice, freedom, and prosperity for ALL Americans.
Trying times ahead.
Hold fast to your faith and
LeBron is one of greatest examples of our country we’ve ever seen. He went from nothing to something. He had to be excellent at everything. To insinuate he’s not intelligent is appalling
I will remember Kobe as a basketball legend,a father& a man. Watching him&Gigi share their relationship with us is something I won’t ever forget. My heart aches for his wife, children& family. I hope the waves of love being sent to his family can ease some of the pain they feel.
If rappers want to make their political decisions based off self interests, how about not endorsing the guy who let a pandemic ravage the country so much that most musical artists can’t hold concerts and generate income?
So this is what it sounds like when a politician has taken time to consider, assess and understand why NFL players have chosen to protest police brutality. This is what happens when you don’t grandstand, or use NFL players as bait for the intolerant. Some call this leadership.
‘I can think of nothing more American.’ — Beto O'Rourke — the man taking on Ted Cruz — brilliantly explains why NFL players kneeling during the anthem is not disrespectful
