Illinois didn't reduce frivolous spending. Instead they decided to force me to give more money so they could continue to frivolously spend.
Because raising the price on my public transit this year wasn't enough. #Illinois #IllinoisBudget

How to spot a modern day racist:

Look for the person who refers to themselves as "unapologetically anti-racist".

These "anti-racists" are the most condescendingly racist people I have ever met in my entire life. (1/6)
These "anti-racists" believe whites are superior than POC & that POC can not catch up unless white people help them up.

They belive white people have to treat POC differently based on their skin color.

They get so angry when a POC stands up & pushes back on this ideology. (2/6)
When a POC says "You & I have the same opportunities in America. You're not superior to me." the "anti-racist" responds "You do not! You are oppressed by the system & by people like me. You only think you're not because you've internalized your racism & oppression." (3/6)

Twitter's number 2 trending hashtag today is All Buildings Matter.

Leftists are using today to try to troll conservatives, liberals, & those who use the All Lives Matter hashtag. They're trying to make a point. What they're really doing is missing the point.
The irony is that they don't see what they're really accomplishing with the hashtag.

They're showing their ignorance. They're showing their lack of empathy, character, morality & understanding. They're showing their depravity.
They're showing that they don't really want unity - they want more division. This is a game & a joke to them.

They think it's a "Gotcha" but, really, it's shining a light & exposing their true colors. They've created a "gotcha" for themselves.

I sat in my 4th grade teacher's classroom that morning (thinking about my upcoming birthday) when a teacher ran into the room- tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Turn on the TV. Something happened in New York!"
Ms. Thompson stopped what she was doing & turned on the TV. Then everything went silent & seemed to move in slow motion.
We watched, in confused shock & horror, as the Twin Towers collapsed. We saw police & firefighters run into the danger as civilians ran away, as fast as they could, gray from dust & debris & gasping for fresh air.

#HappyIndependenceDayAmerica!

I am incredibly blessed to live in this nation where I am free to live a life of my own making.

I can worship God freely & openly with no fear of imprisonment.

I can criticize my government loudly & publicly without getting "disappeared". (1/4)
I can pick any job I want to have without worrying about being turned down because of my ethnicity or sex.

I get paid the same as my male counterparts for the same job & we can both compete for the same roles. (2/4)
I can have a diverse group of friends who think, look or live differently than me & no one would bat an eye.

America isn't perfect. What makes America great is the fact that we are constantly working to get closer to our ideals of freedom. (3/4)

This is exactly why we were begging the riots & looting to stop. This is why we've condemned AntiFa from the very beginning, too. They show up in someone's neighborhood & tear it down & then go home to their cozy homes where everything remains untouched. facebook.com/mylana.william…
This shit right here is infuriating. This woman's life matters. Her kids' lives matter. Her family's and friends lives matter but none of you thought about that when you supported the riots and looting.

No, YOU don't understand. Many businesses can & will leave these communities & they won't come back.

Flip the script on the ones yelling "You who want to reopen have blood on your hands. You're killing grandmas for your 401(k) plan and greed!" as they sit comfortably at home with a steady income thanks to their ability to work-from-home. (1/4) Image
Let them know how completely out-of-touch they are with the 30+ million Americans who suddenly found themselves unemployed. Remind them of those who now feel devoid of purpose because their work was so meaningful to them but considered non-essential to the government. (2/4)
Tell them about the people slipping back into depression and feeling suicidal. Tell them about the surge in domestic violence cases and hospitalizations of children and adults alike because they're locked in with their abusers who are more stressed than ever. (3/4)
