Outlast the doubt, and the doubt gives up before you.
Rain carves canyons...not by force...but by showing up, over and over again.

Quitting feels good for about an hour. Then it feels bad for the rest of your life. Bad trade.

🧵 Today, we're going to delve into the remarkable story of James Forten—a Revolutionary War veteran and former P.O.W.
He became one of the most influential Black abolitionists in early American history. Pull up a seat🪑, my friends. (cont)

What does a sniper position at Memorial Circle actually defend against?
Not China. Not a submarine. Not a missile.
It overlooks a bridge, a traffic circle, and the front door of the National Mall.
Those are places where Americans march.

What I hate is seeing a random video of animal control rescuing two abandoned dogs and thinking how sad it is that human left them behind, then finding out a few days later that it was ICE that left them there to die after stealing their human family.

Yall, I have spent the last 2 hrs watching videos of WC Tourists trying American food. Diets will be ruined for real. They are going to be sick when they get home, literally. Plus, what is the deal with Walmart, Costco, Sams..etc. Its almost like a religious experience for our visitors. Cracks me up
