A word to the wise: . Hate is expensive. The price you have to pay is costly and will affect you in many ways. It takes a lot of energy to hate. Why do that to yourself? 🤔. Consider love. It's fulfilling and brings rewards on its own. The best part, fam? . It's free. ❤. #ONEV1

I've walked the earth for over a half-century and never had the need to own a gun. If you get your courage from holding a weapon in your hand, you're dangerous. You don't deserve to own one.

On November 8th, Georgia Republicans voted for a man who happens to fit every racist stereotype they believe about all Black men. They chose him over the intelligent, articulate, and most qualified Black man. On December 6th, we will re-elect @SenatorWarnock. Let's do this!.

Since there is a federal law making it illegal to possess a weapon while a person is using illegal drugs; how come drug screenings aren't mandatory for current gun owners? . Let's start with the Magas who are cheering Hunter Biden's indictment. #ResistanceUnited .#ProudBlue

@Tomi_R_B Hi Tomi! Long time no see, sis!🤗💙💖⚘ The booklet you referred to is "The Green Book". I actually stumbled on one in my grandfather's closet when I was a young boy. It was necessary to have as he drove around in the Jim Crow south.
