I have to put this into universe to say that I love my boys more than life itself and I pray that the world they inherit will be so much better than the one they where born into.

What's that new trend, "Kinda Chic!" Yeah, when you see other men of color at their kids' first day of school orientation. We are out here too. My Man, I see you Bro 👊🏽

IT’S OFFICIAL: The DNC has voted to confirm the early window states for the 2028 Democratic presidential nominating process. These states reflect the diversity of America and will help ensure our nominee is best positioned to take back the White House in 2028.

To politicians, those running for office, and (insert organization here) who recognize that Father's Day is just as important, thank you for not sending fundraising asks or text messages on this day. To the rest of you who did, that's nasty work 🤨 #FathersDay

And yet we are not talking about the fact that Black voters and voting power in the South and in the CBC are on the verge of being extinguished or diminished greatly. As I mentioned weeks ago… there were 2 windows to release this damn thing so as to be meaningful and not a big distraction and this moment is not one of those windows. Today there will be folks tweeting 10-15 times today about this report and have probably only discussed southern redistricting a handful of times (if that) since Callais. ( And apparently, we are not capable of doing both at the same time.) Back to task ahead…

We've reached the point where AOC is answering questions about the DNC autopsy on the Hill. Hasan Piker talked about it. And that's all in addition to PodSave. All signs this has evolved from a niche insider issue.

As a Father of two boys in the Wake County Public School System, I stand strong with the teachers, staff, and administrators. I say give them the world! They are doing God's work and deserve it all. It is well past time #NCED #NCPOL

BREAKING: @SenatorBerger concedes defeat following today's recount. "While this was a close race, the voters have spoken, and I congratulate Sheriff Page on his victory," he said in a news release. Story to come... #ncpol #ncga

AS MANY PEOPLE KNOW, I AM A TREMENDOUS LOVER OF “THE SPANISH.” IT IS A BEAUTIFUL LANGUAGE SPOKEN BY MANY BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE IN THE GREAT STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND ACROSS THE WORLD. I AM ALSO A HUGE FAN OF PUERRRRRRRTO RICO. THAT IS WHY I AM DECLARING TOMORROW IN CALIFORNIA AS “BAD BUNNY DAY” WHEN BAD BUNNY PERFORMS AT THE BIG GAME IN THE GOLDEN STATE WITH HIS SOOTHING, BEAUTIFUL VOICE, AND HIS VERY NICE LOOKS. MANY PEOPLE CAN’T STOP TALKING ABOUT HIM ACCORDING TO MY “GUYS” AND “GALS!” (JESSE WATTERS IS OBSESSED WITH HIM ALMOST AS MUCH AS HE IS WITH ME!). WE LOVE BAD BUNNY! HE IS NEARLY AS “HOT” AS ME, WHICH IS A BIG COMPLIMENT, BECAUSE THERE IS NOBODY “HOTTER.” HAPPY BAD BUNNY DAY, AMERICA. ENJOY!!! —GOVERNOR GCN

To the people on my side, is it cool now and politically appropriate to say #AbolishICE, or are we still waiting on what the polling say?

Yeah, I'm an officer of this party, but I also have a Spanish surname and those close to me have an accent. That's the dichotomy I walk. In the meantime, I am being asked to support Dems while watching my folks being deported or killed in the street.
