A Political Soap Opera

week ago, Folks. I can't express to you how this news cycle has completely and utterly gutted my belief that there is ever going to be any type of accountability, any type of you know, real conversations in journalism about the fall of our democracy. So let me start out by saying I wrote a piece another piece I was very hot with the words this week on medium, And if you don't follow me on medium, you totally should, because I post often. I post at least twice a

month to different op eds. But this week I went in because there was just so much news, and so my latest piece, which I want to share a piece of it with you all because I'm outdone. I'm outdone by what the media decides to pay attention to and the reasons that they decide to pay attention to certain

things versus others. When I woke up this morning, right, you would think that every major headline, every major headline, every major story would be directed at the fact that a sitting president of the United States during the insurrection, during an attack, an actual physical attack orchestrated by his followers, by himself. Donald Trump, himself, if you all do not remember, back in December of twenty twenty, said that January sixth

was going to be wild. Right, Donald Trump was out there on Twitter before his dumbass got banned, telling his followers to head to Washington, DC have their voices heard, and that to stop the Steel rally was going to be wild. Donald Trump on that day got up on the diets along with many other of his followers, touting the lie, the big lie, about the election having been stolen. Right then, fast forward to over a year fucking later.

The only people that have faced any type of charges, that have faced any type of quote unquote jail time, if you can count a couple of months for trying to overthrow the governments of the United States, if you can count that right as real time. The only people that have been held accountable are the people that have actually entered into right the Capitol Building, or encourage their followers like the leader of the Oath Keepers and the

Proud Boys two get violent. Right, So we're seeing these people slapped with a couple of months here, a couple of months there, right, knowing, good, God damn well that these fucking people that march to the Capitol Building, built a guillotine, entered said Capitol building, stole property, abused and injured police officers get slaps on the wrist during that time. Though, as it as we come to find out, there's over

seven hours missing in terms of White House phone lugs. Now, let me bring this into focus when Nixon was brought down, and by the way, we can account for the fact that accountability really doesn't ever happen in politics because Richard Nixon was able to resign. Richard Nixon was not removed

from office, right, he was able to resign. Had we actually made an example of Richard Nixon and the eighteen minutes that were missing from the White House tapes, that would then show the cover up right of him trying to steal an election. Eighteen minutes we have so far as an entire fucking work day was missing from the

White House phone logs. But that's not front page news. No. What is continuing to be part of conversation all week long is the slap that we saw on fucking Sunday by Will Smith against Chris Rock for his comments his joke I use in air quotes with regard to his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith's alopecia autoimmune condition. Right you have madisone Cawthorne, whose dumbass finds himself in the press for a whole host as stupid shit that comes out of his mouth.

But he decides to spill some tea with regard to being invited to a Washington political elite orgy right where people are just freely doing bumps of cocaine, or so he says. And then Hunter Biden's laptop. These are the three stories that have been dominating the news cycle this week. And I'm sitting here saying to myself self, how is it that Donald Trump covered up, erased lost seven hours worth of phone interaction during the historic violent event in

America's modern day history? And that is not enough for headlines? So the Justice Department now has finally announced that they are expanding their investigation into those that were not actually in the Capitol building. But they're expanding their investigation into the donors of said insurrection, right, And I know that before on this show, and so let me make it clear now. Before in this show, I have said that Jenny Thomas, Clarence Thomas's wife, funded buses for the insurrection.

That has not been substantiated. But what has been substantiated about Jenny Thomas is that she was at the insurrection. She used her platform and her political clout to encourage other people to go to the insurrection, and then while there was an invasion in our Capitol building, she was on the phone with Mark Meadows, Donald Trump's former chief

of staff. So here's the thing. What's so curious and interesting about this, which you think would be front page news, is that Jenny Thomas is married to Clarence Thomas, a sitting Supreme Court justice who was the sole dissenter on the case that would allow the House Select Committee who is investigating the insurrection to be able to have access to the phone logs. Now, the question we all need to ask ourselves is why was Clarence Thomas the sole dissenter? Right?

What is it that Clarence Thomas knew and was he concerned that when those phone numbers, when that information would be released, that he would have to then explain to the public why his wife's phone number was showing up. But get this, because it gets even better than that.

And you would think in a country that it loves salaciousness, right, we love reality TV, we love gossip, we love trash, that you would think that this story, which pretty much reads like a fucking episode of Bridgeton combined with an episode of gossip Girl wrapped in your favorite soap opera, right, all my children, as the world turns, you would think that this would make news. Well, here's the other thing. John Eastman, Trump Attorney, I just discovered, like Columbus was

an actual clerk for Justice Thomas. So there's a relationship there.

So you're telling me, let's all connect these beautiful dots sitting Supreme Court justice has a wife that attended the insurrection, was in regular contact with Mark Meadows, Donald Trump, stiff chief of staff on the day of the insurrection, also has a connection to the man that wrote the power point slide presentation about the insurrection, John Eastman, and no one except for a handful of Democrats are currently calling for an investigation into Clarence Thomas to see whether or

not what we see with our own two eyes is actually what it is, which is a compromised Supreme Court justice. How? How sway? How? How is no one talking about this? How is this not the story of all stories? You know? You go back to the days right of fucking deep throat, You go back to the days of the I gotcha stories? And I'm thinking, isn't this like a slam dunk too? At the bare minimum, open up an investigation into Clarence Thomas and start to ask questions about what he knew

and when he knew it. Isn't this wouldn't this be the opportunity and the time for Democrats to take off the kid gloves and actually get serious about the courts and realize that not only did we have a Supreme Court seat stolen by Mitch McConnell, did we have over three hundred federal judges put in place by Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump, but that the ones that they actually

have are deeply in their pockets. Folks, Come on, right, so let me read you the opening to my piece, which I entitled a slap an orgy and a laptop that is up at medium right now. Quote. There is an old saying in media, if it bleeds, it leads, meaning that stories that are the most salacious and horrific drive the most traffic are the ones media outlets will push.

In the advent of social media and our capitalistic clickbait society we live in now, ratings and eyeballs equal money, and where there is money to be made and power

to covet, morality dare not enter. Currently, there are three stories that the media can't get enough of, and not one of them has to do with the America's impending nosedive into the arms of anti democratic forces that are hell bent on ripping up our constitution, destroying what's left of our political norms, and tap dancing their way into authoritarianism. America is captivated by the slap scene round the world, Representative Madison Cawthorne's claim of cocaine and orgies running amuck

in Washington's elite political circles, and Hunter Biden's laptop. Meanwhile, the real political orgy that everyone needs to be paying attention to is happening between Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, his wife Jinny, former President Trump's chief of staff Mark Meadows, and former Clerk to Justice Thomas, an architect of the insurrection, John Eastman. And yet, folks, why isn't the news cycle

focused on this? Well, let me tell you. Let me tell you why I think that the news cycle is not focused on this because recent hirings and also the admission of the co president from CBS should tell us the real truth. We don't have to guess because what was said by CBS's news co president Naraj Kelimani is

this quote. If you look at some of the people that we've been hiring on a contributor basis, being able to make sure that we are getting access to both sides of the aisle is a priority because we know the Republicans are going to take over, most likely in the midterms. So you see here, folks, what does this spell out to you? Its spell out that journalism right in this day and age, isn't about integrity. It isn't about breaking the news to the American public. It isn't

about educating this citizenury about their responsibility in this democracy. No, no, no, It is about making sure that you are doing the bidding of the people whose company you would like to keep. So would it make sense for say, CBS and other news outlets to decide to run segments and stories on really diving into and continuing to run it over and over again, the way that they did Hillary Clinton's fucking

email story or Hunter Biden's laptop story. Right, think about the ways in which Hillary Clinton's candidacy in twenty sixteen was tanked. It wasn't tanked just because Hilary didn't go to Michigan. It wasn't tanked just because the American people don't like her, or fifty two percent of white women decided that they would rather have their pussies grabbed by Donald Trump than to have a woman that looks like them sit in the Oval office. No, it wasn't just that.

It was the consistent feeding to America that you should be suspicious of Hillary Clinton because she used a private server. And if she's going to use a private server in private emails, then what else could she possibly been hiding? Could she be hiding horns underneath or blonde you know, bouquet of hair, right? Could she be hiding some evil

armor underneath her pantsuits? All they needed to do with the constant barrage in print, on TV, on radio, and everywhere else, was plant the seeds of something suspicious happening and let the American people's imagination run wild, and then when it would abate, continue to feed them a little

bit more and a little bit more. So the question that I have is, then, when you have a story like that of a sitting Supreme Court justice, his wife, chief of staff to former twice impeach disgrace president of the United States, and then a former Justice Thomas Clark, entangled in the biggest political orgy of all time, a desire and an attempt to overthrow an election, how the

fuck do you cover anything else? Well, it's as if you don't see that telling the truth and potentially smearing said Republican party that you believe is going to return to power in a few months would be good for your bottom line. So fuck integrity, right, fuck education. We'll bury that. We'll cover it so that folks can say, oh, no, no, we did a story. It just won't be a one

above the fold. And it is not enough to say, well, there's just so much news that is happening, because folks, there's been so much news happening since twenty fifteen, since Donald Trump descended on those fucking escalators. There's been news happening over and over and over again. But it is those that are sitting in the newsroom c suites that are deciding what it is that they believe that the

public should know. So wouldn't it be better if we stir up some drama, some made up drama for the bidens the current sitting administration that we believe has already neutered itself. And then we show favor and fancy to the ones that we believe are actually going to get into power, and then right they'll see us as friends and they won't attack us so much, and then we'll be able to get our one on ones and our

sit down meetings. It's all a game. And the more that I become aware of the more dots that are connected, the more disgusted I am, because, folks, in all honesty, there is no where to look. There's no where to look. There is no night coming to save America. There is no Captain America that's going to rush in and make everything right. Because everybody that has a responsibility to do something or the power to do something, even if it's just to plant some seeds and shift shift some hearts

and minds. They are actively choosing not to because it doesn't work or mesh with their bottom line. Our democracy, dear friends, has been sold. And so when we turn around and we say to ourselves, well, it's all Republicans and their misgivings and their bad doings. Of course those things are absolutely true, but they also have help. They've

been enabled by mainstream media, right. And the thing is because I have conversations with my friends in media all the time, and I have been telling them it is not enough for us any longer to just be talking withinside inside of our own echo chambers. It's not enough. We have got to find a way to penetrate and get our words and thoughts out to the masses because, dear friends, because mainstream media ain't gonna fucking cover it.

So you have to rely on information that is coming to you by people who are not bought and sold, you know, surely. Chisholm the first African American woman, the first black woman to run for the presidency in nineteen seventy nineteen seventy two. Her moniker that she used was Unboston unbothered, Right, unbought, Unboston unbothered. I think was the

whole of it. And I think about how bold that was in nineteen seventy two to say that, but that it is even bolder to say that today, because there's a reason why Republicans and Democrats both have allowed so much money to be in politics, because it suits their personal bottom line. There's a reason why there's always been a campaign against the Elizabeth Warrens and the Bernie Sanders of the world who want to call out corporate misgivings

and wrongdoings. Right, But there's a reason why they're allowed to do that shit, And it isn't just one party's fault. When everything revolves around capitalism, and everything revolves around those with the most get to decide and delineate to the least, you are going to make sure, above all else that you stay at the top. So you are going to get in bed with people that you should have no

business being in bed with. So when people say to me, you know, I don't trust the news, I don't trust this paper, I don't trust this outlet, I don't trust this network. Now I am beginning to understand why not even beginning to understand, because I fucking knew it was why I was fired from Serious because you tell people the absolute truth and they don't want that. It's why, folks, you don't see me regularly anymore on cable news, because you continue to tell the truth and call people out

and guess what they don't want that. They don't want that at all, because it's too much. The reason why I became an entrepreneur and the reason why I am on independent channels as an independent podcaster is because I don't want anybody telling me what I can and cannot do, and I don't want anybody deciding what is going to drive my voice, and it certainly is going to be

anybody else's fucking bottom line. I tell you that. You know, one of the quotes that I pulled up in this piece sits so heavy with me now as somebody who has done public relations and spin and crisis communications for part of my living, right, George Orwell said, this journalism is printing what someone else does not want published. Everything else is public relations. That couldn't be more true. I mean, when you look at the fluff pieces right that were

written about Amy Covid, Barrett. Right. You look at the car rich of her confirmation, Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation, right, and look at that of Judge Katangi Brown Jackson. See who it benefits? Right? And why when you see people on television saying a lot of hot shit or saying nothing at all. Oh, they don't want to upset the apple cart. Do you know why they don't want to upset the apple cart? Because they don't know who's going to own

that apple cart at the end of the week. So it's best to have this perceived notion that is false of somebody's neutrality. News is not neutral. None of these fucking outlets are. Every single one of these people that are sitting up in the c suites that get to decide what it is you ingest on a regular basis have political affiliation, but their ultimate affiliation is to money, and money ain't got no morals. And so every time that Democrats are trying to appeal to people's better angels,

I'm like, are you dumb? Right? Like, seriously, are you dumb? Do you not get it that everybody is in it to win it right, to get as rich as possible. That's it. That's the American dream, right, It isn't just the house and the pick offense. No, no, no. If you look on Netflix right now, if you look on Amazon primacy, all of the stories right that are on top right now are about how people became multibillionaires, or it is about the lifestyles of the rich and famous.

Because we are addicted, addicted to wealth, and it is to us in all of these different ways. And so if you are given the opportunity, we all would love to believe that, we would say no, no, I have morals, right. I actually am one of those people, which is why I broadcast to you from my apartment and not my mansion, because I entered into a profession that if you wanted to get rich, right, you could, but you need to also be able to swallow a lot of hot shit.

You need to be able to divorce yourself from your values. Right. You need to make compromises. And I'm not saying that all compromises are bad. They absolutely are not. And I'm also not saying that everybody that is on television is bad. They absolutely are not. But every single one of them has had to compromise. And I'll tell you that the people of color and the women have had to compromise

the most. And so when I see and I listen to people like the co president at CBS, and then you know, uncovered tapes of of Nunez, the former disgraced president of CBS, right, who had to step down because of you know, somebody's affair or whatever. It was, some type of sexual indiscretion. Lee Moons, he said the same thing, said, yeah, Trump may be mad, maybe bad for the country, but he's good for ratings. I can tell you how many

times that I heard that in the halls of MSNBC. Right, everybody knows, everybody knew that Trump was terrible for the country, but oh my god, he's fucking making it rain. I remember sitting in the chair at MSNBC and I was posted be on a segment. Then all of a sudden, they're like, oh, Danielle, we're canceled for the day because Donald Trump is going to be landing in some place giving some type of hate speech. And do you know

what every single cable news station did. They had a live feed going of a tarmac just waiting for Trump's plane to land, and that was the whole conversation four hours. What will Trump say this is what he said last time. Oh my goodness, what do you think the plane is going to come in? What is he going to be wearing? What's Ivanka going to be doing? It was free press, it was free advertisement at a time when political ads, by the way that you see on television costs millions.

The last couple of presidential races have been in the billions in terms of how much it actually costs to run for president. We have seen some of the most expensive Senate races ten hundreds of millions of dollars that they have cost. But every single news outlet in twenty fifteen and twenty sixteen gave Trump free coverage because people

couldn't take their eyes off of the fucking circus. So when I say, you have a story like this political orgy that is literally unfolding in front of us, that has some key players from the Supreme Court to the White House right all the way around, and I'm asking, why the fuck is the lead story about Hunter Biden's laptop.

Hunter Biden ain't in the fucking White House, not in the way that the fucking Trump spawn were with senior titles and all access passes, Like it's fucking political lallapalooza. But home, I wonder what's on that laptop? Mmm? Donald Trump's still going around saying hmm, you know, Zelinski should really open up an investigation. Who cares that his entire country is being bombed to smithereens? But oh, if he had only opened up an investigation, it's fucking wild. It

is honestly really wild. On a day today, we're unlike, how how are these stories? Seven hours? Folks? Over seven hours of tapes are missing on accounted for. There is nothing that is there. How it is the White House. There are calls coming in all day, all the time. So the only way that you have that fucking day long gap is if somebody was being really mindful about

making sure not to leave any evidence behind. And if you don't want to leave any evidence behind, sounds to me like you're in the midst of committing somebody's fucking crime, because who else would be picking up other phones and using different phones other than the one that is stationed on your desk in the fucking Oval office. Oh, let me let me use your phone, Mark, Mark Meadows, Hey, let me use that phone right quick? Hey of uncle, let me let me let me use your phone, right quick, bitch,

where's your phone? It makes no sense, But the only sense that it does make is that everybody's in on it. And this is why I say, you know, I'm not going to be cheering Merritt Garland right now for his Department of Justice announcing that they are widening their probe. I'm not going to be applauding that because I want to know if it's actual pr Right. We just need to have the perception that work is being done so that Democrats don't come through with a full on media onsought,

which we know that they wouldn't fucking do anyway. I need to know that whether or not right this overt you know, window, this overt expression of the Department of Justice saying oh, we've hired all these people and we're doing all of these things, if it isn't about the appearance of justice and accountability, or if it is actually happening. So I will hold my breath, I will wait because I know good pr spin when I fucking see it. So I want perp walks. I want indictments reigning down.

I want an investigation by this Department of Justice into Alvin Brad the Manhattan District Attorney to figure out why he decided not to continue on with his investigation into

Donald Trump, right. I want an investigation into Clarence Thomas opened up by the Department of Justice to figure out whether or not we have a compromised sitting Supreme Court justice that is about to rule against Rovie Wade, not to mention a whole other series of important laws that are about to be overturned because we have a six to three court. I would like to know if one of those nine justices is bought. We folks are in a whole lot of motherfucking trouble. There really is no

way around it. And I know you're tired. You're tired. I'm tired. I'm tired of seeing this shit and being like staying in my head running the same record over again. Imagine if this were Baroque, Imagine if this were Hilary. Can you imagine what Republicans would be doing. Do you know that Democrats much in the same way that they have done in the past to their own The first time that Republicans throw any type of fucking grenade, Democrats get in line behind them and say, we don't like

that person either, and they should resign. So you think that if the shoe were on the other foot, and what Clarence Thomas did say, oh, I don't know Sonia Sotomayor had done right, or Briar had done or anybody that was appointed, anybody that's left that was appointed by a Democrat had done you think that this ship would be okay, That Republicans would just be allowing this to roll off their backs and then say some shit like Chuck Schumer said, like, oh, well, maybe there should be

some type of ethics rules for people with lifetime appointments. I think that somebody that has a lifetime appointment to the bench is worthy of some type of fucking scrutiny when it seems very obvious that something don't smell right. But alas, alas, dear friends, you would have to have some type of kutspa right, some type of gravitas in order to get that done and see that through. And we know, good god damn well that if we are looking for those two things from this Democratic Party, y'all,

you better look elsewhere. Here's the other thing that I also want to talk about. So this week, this week, Joe Biden signed into law the anti lynching bill. Right. And you know, this, as I've said earlier this week,

is an important piece of legislation. It should have been signed. Oh, I don't know, maybe sixty years ago when Emmitt Till was killed, you know, um, and when it was found out that the white woman who said that she that he whistled at her, right m was a fucking liar, that maybe, you know, the murder and torture of a fourteen year old boy would have urged the public to really look at racism, at their anti blackness, at the domestic terrorism that was happening at the hands of white people.

But no, we want to pat ourselves on the back for shit that is happening now sixty years later, six decades later. Right. And here's the other thing that I will say about this. Do you know did you know what? I was trying to find it but I can't. Did you know that it wasn't a unanimous vote, an anti lynching bill in twenty motherfucking twenty two not passed unanimously. That there were not one, not two, but three fucking

Republicans that voted against it. Three three Republicans came out and actually actually went on record to vote against it, and here here, here's who they are, thankfully for bearing with me. I found it Representative Andrew Clyde Republican Georgia, Thomas Massey, Republican Kentucky, and Chip Roy, Republican Texas. Now let me just make mention of Chip Roy. And I learned about this through Joy Reid Joy Reid's Instagram because

I thought that it was unanimous, right. I thought that this was why there was so much celebration because for the first time in sixty fucking years and two hundred attempts at passing an anti lynching bill in this country that white people love to say isn't innately racist and that we don't actually need to teach anything about differences, because you know, all is good in a country that couldn't bear to pass an anti lynching bill even right,

and we're still we're holding our breath after we watched George Floyd be lynched in twenty twenty, Chip Roy was and I'm gonna mess up his exact quote, but he said that lynching was a form of justice and that's how they do things down in Texas. He said that in the last few years. So what I have said is that these people are not Republicans. They are not and not just these three that I called out, I'm talking about the entire party. They are white nationalists. This

is a white nationalist party. They are a white nationalist cult. And when we continue, even myself, because I slip to refer to these people as Republicans, we are legitimizing them. We are legitimizing their hateful ideology as if it is

an acceptable alternative to life in America. When we have the CBSS and the CNNs and the Fox news Is decide to hire known liars and avid white supremacy, we are allowing them to tell us that white supremacy and white nationalism is a legitimate ideology that is worthy of

conversation and being heard. And until we say no, no more, until we actually use our collective power and voices to whether it is to fucking boycott the CBS's of the world, whether it is to boycott, you know, the Fox news Is of the world, to call the FCC on a regular basis and say why is it not why are there no disclaimers for Tucker Carlson and its hateful, violent speech the way that you see on every fucking show that you turn on. Oh, this shows nudity and foul language,

and blah blah blah. Why is the same not done for our political discourse, because it should be. It would have people think differently about how and where they are consuming the information that they need to make informed decisions about their lives. But that's just it. We don't want an informed citizenjury. Those in power don't want you to be informed because then you will question. And if you begin to question them, the question that you're going to

ask is why are they in power? Why are they the chosen ones to make decisions for the rest of us? And then they will have to be accountable to you. So the goal has never been education. The goal has always been disinformation and the gaslight. That is it for me today on this woke af on this good good Friday, folks. You know, I will say this, it is very difficult from me on a regular basis to keep up with

the woke moment of wellness. And I say that in all honesty and transparency, because I am just filled with anger and rage all of the time, and there are so much news to cover and so many things that are just exasperating that I forget and so I am going to challenge myself to make it a point because I know that by virtue of me doing this, it will allow you all to pause and to think about your wellness in the midst of all of the crazy.

So for this Friday, woke moment of wellness. What I discovered while I was on while I was on vacation is how important yoga is to my body. And you guys know because my mother owns a yoga studio, is an avid yogi, so is my sister, and I am not that has never been really my chosen form of exercise because I like more aggressive exercise, no surprise to anyone who listens to me or knows me. But what I realized on vacation is how important it is to

listen to our bodies. And sometimes what our minds want us to do is not actually what our body needs. And while I was on vacation and I limited the amount of noise that I was taking in on a regular basis, I realized that I would wake up. On my first couple of days in Panama, I woke up and I was very very stiff. My body, my joints ached, and it wasn't just you know, the travel to my destination, which was a part of it, but it was also the weight of all of the things that I was carrying.

So I challenged myself to do yoga the entire time that I was on vacation, and I would say I did it a majority of the time. I was gone for eight days, and I did it for at least six of them. But I also did something else for myself. I got a massage. I got two because they were cheap and I could afford to get two in a week. And I want to share with you what happened during

my first massage. I had the good fortune of being with an incredible healer and wellness expert in you know, skilled in Swedish and time massage, and during you know,

our session, I started to cry. I started to seriously just I mean tears rolling down my face because as I was laying there and having my body twisted and worked and not you know, rolled out and you know, joined stretched and just taking this time to be still but also be cared for by other hands, I started to think about my ancestors, actual family members, and then the enslaved Africans whose perseverance through so much torture, so much pain allows me to exist, and how they never

got to rest, how they never were able to relax, and how their sacrifice should be honored through how each and every one of us choose to care for ourselves and the people around us. I thought about my grandparents, and how I can't think about, you know, aside from their joy of you know, planning parties with family and you know, and their trips back and forth from the United States to Jamaica, had they ever indulged in a massage in a sauna, in a steam room, in some

yoga that was just about stretching their body and nourishing it. Right, we are always doing and there are some of us who never ever had a choice as to whether or not they could just be, even just for a moment, because they were seen right as the machines, as the chattel. And so I realized, as I was laying on that table that I my body, our bodies hold so much. As my mother says, we have so many issues in our tissues, and that the needing that we need to do in order to get that energy out is so

critical to our health and to our well being. And so the tears that I wept during that massage. We're not sadness in grief. It was deep relief and gratitude and the gratitude that I had to be able to experience this moment but also experience it for those that never never did And how necessary rest is to the

revolution that we are in. And so, folks, you know, listen to your body, allow it to lead you right into places and spaces that you may not think that you quote unquote deserve right because we always are on this. I have to earn this. I have to earn my rest. You do not. You do not by virtue of being human and needing to sleep. That is it, kneading downtime, that is it. You don't have to prove your value in order to rest. That, friends, is your woke moment

of wellness. As always, power to the people and to all the people. Power. Get woke and stay woke as fuck. I'll see you next week. Have a wonderful, RESTful weekend.
