I am a movie fanatic. Have been ever since I was a kid. There are two things that I miss most because of this pandemic. Going to the movies is one of them. I have held strong, but I might have to break it because of Wakanda Forever. The first trailer dropped for it, and it is powerful.
I know that there are those who felt that Black Panther should be re-cast. I am not against a re-cast. But, it has to be the right time, and it wasn’t the right time.
Here is a thread from one of the creatives involved:
Grief was actively happening while we made this film. We pushed through and worked hard for Chad. We told stories and laughed at moments we remembered. It was hard. I honored him everyday, I wrote to him all over this movie, throughout the world we built. 1…a thread

3 But this day, this film…We honor our Black champion our Black Hero, we honor Chadwick. We honor his genius, his kindness, his artistry. Everyday I wrote to him, in my design, in Wakandan. All over so that I would send that pride and love to you, to the audience too.

5 I hope you felt all that we put in to this film, the loss, the LOVE, the determination, the fight to make it through. Every brush stroke, every word, every 2×4, everything was for him, to him with our hearts in our hands and our fist in the sky. Every day.

I've cried at this trailer for a couple days now. The rush of everything coming back. It's so emotional. And also know there are people at the other end of this. People who need, and needed time, to grieve. ❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿

They needed time to mourn.

McConnell said Republicans wouldn’t let the CHIPS bill pass if Democrats try to pass a lower drug price/climate bill.
Rs ultimately let CHIPS pass—minutes later, Dems announced a deal with Manchin on lower drug prices/climate.
Democrats may have just out-McConnelled McConnell.

Biden’s approval rating is in the toilet because the media swore a blood vendetta against him for ending the 20 year military occupation of Afghanistan and he refuses to deliberately sabotage the economy for the sake of business owners who want cheap labor again.

In a world full of 2520’s, who are trying to find anyone and everyone to scapegoat so that THEY will not be held accountable, and thus lose those good paying government jobs that they are unqualified to have. Have said it before – the Police Department takes up 40% of the city’s budget. The demographics of the Department doesn’t look like the town. I would bet that they don’t live in the town. But, where else, with their limited education, will they get jobs that pay as well with benefits, all the while talking about others ‘living off of the government’.
These muthaphuckas have never been held ACCOUNTABLE for anything a day in their lives, and they are actually OFFENDED that folks want to hold them accountable for letting ‘ THOSE CHILDREN’ get SLAUGHTERED, while they did nothing.

In what world should the principal of this school be subject at this time to the equivalent punishment (for failed “locked door protocols) meted out to School Police Chief Arredondo who stood in a hallway for over an hour refusing to take leadership while hearing kids shot?

Republicans mocking disabled folk, wanting to put homeless in camps, kidnapping children at border…are just following their European idols by now letting us know what they’d do to disabled folk. Hint: the same they’d do to, Jewish, Black, brown, Lgbtqi poor women… vote dem.

I am 4 years younger than John Lewis, 2 years younger than Emmett Till and 10 years older than Ruby Bridges, so when @GovernorVA tries to whitewash our history, he is really trying to erase my life and the story of all African Americans. He messed with the wrong woman this time.
