Newark Airport Listed As ‘Not Safe’ As Air Traffic Controller Warns Flyers To Steer Away
One air traffic controller declared Newark Airport as "not safe" due to lack of available staff.
An air traffic controller has warned that Newark Airport is “not safe” for travelers as delays rage on for days.
The unidentified air safety employee told NBC News correspondent Tom Costello that the Newark Liberty International Airport should be avoided “at all costs.” According to the New York Post, the second busiest airport in the New York City area has suffered multiple delays and cancellations.
“It is not safe. It is not a safe situation right now for the flying public,” recalled Costello of the employee’s warnings.
Costello added, “Really an incredible statement, unsolicited. He just said that to me, and separately, ‘Don’t fly into Newark. Avoid Newark at all costs.’”
Newark Airport typically sees over 40,000 passengers daily, according to United Airlines. The NY and NJ Port Authority air traffic dashboard also reported that the airport hosts nearly 4 million passengers annually.
However, the Federal Aviation Administration’s ongoing staffing troubles have resulted in the airport’s operations lagging. Alongside construction efforts limiting its capabilities, the airport has seen a 20% loss in air traffic controllers.
United announced the cancellation of 35 roundtrip flights from its primary East Coast hub to mitigate this issue for its passengers. United’s CEO, Scott Kirby, revealed how the company has advocated for better staffing and technology at EWR for years.
“United is committed to doing absolutely everything in our power to minimize the impact that this will have on customers, and so we are unilaterally canceling 35 roundtrip flights per day from our Newark schedule starting this weekend,” expressed Kirby in a news release.” It’s disappointing to make further cuts to an already reduced schedule at Newark, but since there is no way to resolve the near-term structural FAA staffing issues, we feel like there is no other choice in order to protect our customers.”
Kirby has spoken with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy about the urgent need for more air traffic controllers. Duffy has also offered $5,000 bonuses for new hires as the system reaches its breaking point.
“You’re starting to see cracks in the system,” explained Duffy in a press conference on Thursday. “It‘s our job to actually see over the horizon what the issues are and fix it before there is an incident that we will seriously regret.”
However, the Trump administration implemented major cuts to the FAA as greater attention to plane crashes troubled frequent fliers. The FAA continues to lag in its air traffic controller staffing, with airports like EWR already feeling the effects.
New York City travelers should continue to alter travel plans if they include any flights to or from Newark Airport.
The Aurora Driver has already sent deliveries between Dallas and Houston without a human driver
A self-driving commercial trucking service has launched and sent deliveries between two Texas locales.
Aurora Innovation, Inc. has announced that it has debuted the Aurora Driver, which has completed over 1,200 miles without using a human driver. The service has recently made customer deliveries between Dallas and Houston.
“We founded Aurora to deliver the benefits of self-driving technology safely, quickly, and broadly. Now, we are the first company to successfully and safely operate a commercial driverless trucking service on public roads,” said Chris Urmson, CEO and co-founder of Aurora, in a written statement. “Riding in the back seat for our inaugural trip was an honor of a lifetime – the Aurora Driver performed perfectly, and it’s a moment I’ll never forget.
“Our commitment to building a transformative technology, earning trust, and assembling a strong ecosystem of customers and partners have made this pivotal milestone possible.”
The Aurora Driver is the first company to operate a commercial self-driving service with heavy-duty trucks on public roads. The company plans to expand the service to El Paso, Texas, and Phoenix, Arizona, by the end of the year.
The vehicle is equipped with a computer and sensors that can see beyond the length of four football fields. The Aurora Driver has been tested for over four years with supervised pilot hauls. It delivered over 10,000 customer loads while traveling across three million autonomous miles. The features that make it safe for the road include predicting red light runners, avoiding collisions, and identifying people in the dark hundreds of yards away.
The Aurora uses Verifiable AI to assist in keeping the roads safe.
“When Uber Freight and Aurora came together more than four years ago, we set out to transform the future of logistics—and today, that future is here,” said Lior Ron, founder and CEO of Uber Freight. “Moving autonomous commercial freight without anyone behind the wheel is a historic step forward in our mission to build a smarter and more efficient supply chain, and one we’re proud to lead alongside Aurora.”
CNN has reported that several companies using autonomous trucking or driving have often tested the technology in states like Texas and California. There haven’t been many that lasted, but California-based Gatik does short-haul deliveries for Fortune 500 retailers like Walmart. Another California tech firm, Kodiak Robotics, also uses autonomous driving for customers across the South, but they come equipped with safety drivers.
Order Up! Baltimore’s First Black Woman-Owned Bodega Is Officially Open For Business
Chopped Broadway Bodega and Deli is officially serving up classic New York sandwiches like the chopped cheese.
For chopped cheese lovers in Baltimore, the city’s first Black- and women-owned bodega is officially open for business.
Chopped Broadway Bodega & Deli aims to bring classic New York takeout bites to the mid-Atlantic. The deli’s co-owner, Ernestine Chambers, makes its soon-to-be-famous chopped cheese and bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches.
The establishment celebrated its opening on May 2 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Chambers and her business partner, Naté Gordon, will serve a NYC-bred menu that blends with the culture of its location. Chopped Broadway also hopes to become a new avenue for fresh foods in Baltimore’s Fells Point neighborhood.
“We had this opportunity to make history today and also put a store with fresh food in Fells Point,” shared Chambers to CBS News.
The new business also employs 98% locally, exceeding local hiring requirements. Now, they hope to increase economic empowerment and opportunities in the diverse neighborhood. According to CityData.com, the area’s Black residents account for nearly 17% of its population.
Chopped Broadway offers a wide variety of heavily portioned sandwiches. From classics like the Italian hoagie to vegan options, Chopped aims to appease anyone’s food preference.
“So we have a little bit of everything for everybody,” expressed Gordon. “We have huge, ginormous hoagies, New York style— they are all chopped fresh. We have the godfather, which is our No. 1 seller. It is our spin on the Italian.”
Furthermore, the bodega wants to stay true to its roots of being an affordable meal option. Even those with gluten sensitivities can try something on its menu, taking a modern, inclusive approach to the bodega experience.
Chambers added, “More importantly, we have an organic section as well as a vegan sandwich because most of the time when you come into a convenience store, you rarely see healthy choices or options, so we have a non-GMO section and gluten-free options.”
As a Black and woman-owned establishment, Chopped Broadway wants to inspire other women with entrepreneurial ambitions to take action. Maryland Gov. Wes Moore announced that the state will be the No. 1 spot for minority businesses in 2024, and Chopped Broadway will continue this legacy for the Baltimore community.
“That’s what Chopped is about: food, culture, and opportunity,” Chambers said.
Police Officers Summoned To Kevin Garnett’s House After Dispute With Girlfriend
"We deeply regret that a personal disagreement escalated and inappropriately involved authorities," Garnett and Candelier said after the incident.
A domestic dispute involving former Minnesota Timberwolves legend Kevin Garnett took place last month, and the couple has recently stated that the phone call to the police should never have happened.
According to TMZ, police officers were called to Garnett’s home after receiving a phone call from his girlfriend, Teare Candelier, before 2 a.m. April 27. In the 911 phone call, she told the operator that she and Garnett had been involved in a domestic dispute at their home in the Los Angeles area. When police officers arrived, Garnett left the house, but the officers took a report.
The officers also said that after asking Candelier if she needed medical help, she refused to get it, although there was no mention of whether she was injured or not.
Sources have stated that the two were involved in an argument, and as the former NBA player was trying to leave the home to diffuse the situation, he moved Candelier out of a doorway. Yet, outside of that, the fight between the two was not physical.
The couple released a statement admitting that the altercation did not require a call to authorities.
“We deeply regret that a personal disagreement escalated and inappropriately involved authorities,” Garnett and Candelier wrote in a joint written statement. “It was never our intention to involve others in a moment that should have remained private. Like most couples, we have disagreements, but our commitment to each other remains strong, and we move forward with renewed respect, understanding, and love.”
Garnett, who won an NBA Championship with the Boston Celtics, played in the league for 21 seasons. He also played for the Timberwolves and the Brooklyn Nets. The NBA Hall of Famer was a 15-time NBA All-Star and was named to nine All-NBA Teams. During his career, he won the NBA MVP Award and was also the Defensive Player of the Year.
Fawn Weaver Encourages FAMU Graduates To Defy Limitations In Inspiring Keynote Address
Weaver shared the "five points" given to her by God to shared with FAMU's class of 2025.
Fawn Weaver delivered a powerful message during Florida A&M University’s spring commencement ceremony.
During her keynote address for the HBCU graduates, the entrepreneur empowered the accomplished students to defy limitations that may come their way. She spoke to the newly-degreed scholars in business, law, science and technology, journalism, and nursing.
Weaver is a celebrated business founder and novelist, serving as the CEO of her private investment company that owns Uncle Nearest Whiskey. Weaver was among other esteemed public figures who helped FAMU celebrate its latest cohort of graduates, including Adrienne Brown, group vice president and head of corporate business development at Eli Lilly and Company, and Bernard W. Kinsey, co-founder of the Kinsey African American Art and History Collection. In her commencement speech, Weaver revealed the “five points” divinely given to her to share with the class of 2025.
“For the first time ever, God had me write down five points,” she began, according toEssence.
The New York Times-bestselling author then shared the origin story of her father, Motown record producer Frank Wilson, who was born and raised in Houston and began his life picking cotton. However, the legendary producer and artist went on to create hits for Motown greats such as The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, and the Supremes.
Now, Weaver has created her own destiny and whiskey empire, refusing to be defined by those around her. She encourages FAMU graduates to remember their power when embarking on their careers.
“You are not the minority,” she asserted. “People of color and women are 70% of this country and 92% of the world. You are not the minority. You are the majority.”
Weaver continued, telling the graduates that their ancestors were “the strongest of the strong.”
“You come from good stock, she told the crowd,” recalling a phrase her father often said. “Only 388,000 made it to America. That means those who made it onto these shores were the strongest of the strong. Mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally… That blood that runs through your body came from people that refused to give up.”
While emphasizing that “you are your only limitation,” Weaver spoke of her story of defeating the odds. She rose to success after tumultuous teenage years, including stints in three homeless shelters by 18.
Now, she runs a billion-dollar company through Uncle Nearest, becoming one of only five Black women to do so. However, she refuses to be the last.
“We believe that there is a ceiling,” she uttered. “But if there is a glass ceiling, it’s got a crack the size of Hades because I got through it.”
Moreover, she reminded graduates that they cannot be restricted by where they started.
“Your end story has nothing to do with your beginning story,” she proclaimed. “And this country cannot contain what God means to excel.”
Furthermore, she implored students to focus on their mission despite the political shifts currently afoot. She reiterated her belief that God remains in control and that they should not fear the plans of those seemingly in charge.
She continued, “I am never bothered about who’s in the White House. They may have been voted in, but nobody gets anywhere without God deciding.”
Speaking more on her faith, Weaver also emphasized her faith in God’s plan, stating that no person can be thwarted by anyone else. She ended the speech to a standing ovation as she preached life, purpose, and determination to FAMU’s newest alumni.
“If God be for you, then who can be against you?” she questioned. “You running this, or is God running this? And if God’s running this, you should have no concerns.”
Your Future Is Waiting: 3 Power Moves Every New Graduate Should Make
Aim for potential not perfection
Dear Fairygodmentor,
As a soon-to-be graduate, I feel overwhelmed by all the advice about finding the perfect job. How do I take the first steps toward a meaningful career? Best Regards,
Gen Z Dreamer
Dear Gen Z Dreamer,
I want to start this letter by first celebrating your achievement of completing four years of higher education! You did it! This is quite an accomplishment!
I overstand! The advice from others is extremely overwhelming and oftentimes confusing. I want to share three power moves to help you take the first steps toward a meaningful career.
Power Move 1: Let Go of Perfection and Aim for Potential
I want to hold your hand when I say this with all of the positive intentions in my heart. You may not find the perfect job right out of the gate. I can already hear the gasps of dismay when I share this reality, but you know me–I like to keep things real. Hear me out.
The job you may ultimately get right out of college may not check all your boxes for “My Perfect Job.” The salary may be a bit lower than expected. They may not offer 100% remote work access. It may be a bit further of a commute for you. Your time off may not be as robust as you’d like. Try to focus on the potential versus perfection.
Ask yourself: Does this new job have the potential to take you further? Will it help you develop your career? Will it be the foot in the door to help you grow and gain more experience?
What I need you to focus on when you’re looking for your first job out of college is not perfection, but whether it’s got the potential to connect to your passion and talents. Why did you spend the last four years majoring in (fill in your major here)? There must have been a reason you chose to focus on that topic for so long.
Is there something else you wanted to explore in your first job that may not be aligned with your major? I know I wanted to help people reach their goals. My initial perfect job once I graduated from college was the idea of being a guidance counselor since I majored in Psychology. Once I realized that to be a guidance counselor, you needed a graduate degree of some sort, I discovered that I needed to work in a field that was guidance counselor adjacent.
I was working with teens in an outplacement adolescent day treatment unit at a medical school. It was a great job. It was not the perfect job. I still had to live at home with my parents; it barely paid for gas and other expenses, and vacation was nonexistent, but ultimately, it was very rewarding. It had the potential of opening doors for my ability to gain some experience as a guidance counselor.
The path to the “Perfect Job” isn’t a straight line.
I chose to work at another company for 18 years to get my Master’s degree covered by their tuition reimbursement program. What started as a vehicle to get my MBA turned into a career of leadership development. In a way, I still ended up a guidance counselor. It’s just that I work with adults and not teens as I originally planned.
Stay flexible.
Power Move 2: A resume isn’t everything
As one of my Fairygodmentors used to tell me when I was out looking for work, “It’s not what you know, it’s about who knows you.”
Another harsh truth is that your resume isn’t the only thing to get your foot in the door when applying for a job. You need to network. This can be done in person and virtually.
As an Auntie Fairygodmentor®, I’d lean in more heavily on in-person networking, or at least trying to connect with a human who’s tied to the company you’re trying to join. There’s something about a face-to-face interaction that seals the deal for the humanity of the position. You’re not just a name on a piece of paper with experience, but a human being.
That’s why I also can’t stress this enough–please leverage your LinkedIn profile. Connect with recruiters, employees, and heck, even the CEO of the organizations where you aspire to work. Comment on their posts, attend any events where the leadership is speaking, or ask to connect with them via DM. Some may think this is pushy. I like to call it professional persistence. Pro Tip: Respect people’s boundaries.
Power Move 3: Do your Research
Please do some research on the companies and organizations that you’re interviewing with. Incorporate that passion for working with them with the research you’ve done into the cover letter (I can’t stand them either, but some companies take submitting them very seriously), interview, and thank you notes.
As a former hiring manager, there is nothing worse than sitting across from a candidate who has no clue what or who they’re interviewing for or with. Did they just go through a merger or acquisition? Are they relocating to a new building? How can you add value to this organization, knowing what you do about what’s currently going on? Reading trade magazines, following them on LinkedIn (see a pattern here?), doing a Google search, or reading business journals will give you up-to-date information.
By sharing that you took the time to research this company and your passion for working for them–you’ll soar to the top of the candidate list.
Aim for potential, not perfection. Understand that you’ll need more than your resume to get your foot in the door, and finally, research and show your passion for the company or organization where you want to work. These three power moves will set you up for success as you transition to the next chapter of your success story. Congrats again, Gen Z Dreamer!
You got this!
Yours truly,
Your Fairygodmentor®

Target CEO’s Massive Pay Cut Revealed Amid DEI Backlash And Trump’s Tariffs
Cornell only earned $9.9 million in 2024 -- a 45% drop from 2023 and the lowest since 2016.
A new report revealed that Target CEO Brian Cornell’s salary dropped 87% from his compensation peak of $77.5 million in 2020, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Cornell only earned $9.9 million in 2024 — a 45% drop from 2023 and the lowest since 2016. With a salary of $1,400,000, he also received a bonus worth $785,400. However, the decline in payment highlights the financial struggles that the Minneapolis-based retailer has suffered in recent years, in addition to political backlash.
Target fell short of annual performance targets in 2023 and missed an even wider margin in 2024. Brand executives seemingly receive equity awards for medium-term performance over three years in correlation with their colleagues. During the 2022-2024 performance period, the retailer’s performance fell short of sales, earnings, and return on specific invested capital sales goals.
As a result, Target leaders earned 61.6% of the combined goal.
For Cornell, he received $5.5 million from those performance-based equity awards; in 2023, he earned $13.6 million. If the company underperforms on goals, as it did, the pay could be less.
Pay for Cornell and fellow Target leaders could decrease even more amid backlash from the company’s controversial dial-back on DEI and President Donald Trump’s growing tariffs. Target’s DEI announcement resulted in a massive boycott from Black and other consumers after a call to action from civil rights leaders. Cornell and Rev. Al Sharpton met to come to common ground, and the leader referred to the conversation as “constructive and candid.”
Sharpton and Rev. Jamal Bryant called for the boycott after the retailer officially ended its three-year-long DEI goals in January 2025, shortly after Trump took office, targeting diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. After Cornell announced that the brand would no longer send company reports and data to external diversity-focused groups such as the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Index, stores nationwide experienced declining traffic and sales.
Catering to Trump’s tactics may have some adverse consequences, as Cornell accused incoming tariffs on products from Mexico of having grave effects on the price of fruits and vegetables sold in stores. According to the Daily Beast, Cornell said customers “will likely see price increases over the next couple of days.” “If there’s a 25 percent tariff, those prices will go up,” he said in March 2025.
Jury Selection Begins For Federal Trial Against Diddy
The trial is expected to last two months, with an expected May 12 start
The jury selection for the federal trial against Sean “Diddy” Combs, who has been in jail since September 2024 on multiple charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, starts May 5, while the expected start of the trial is May 12. According to USA Today, prospective jurors will gather in a New York City courtroom to be assessed by prosecutors and defense attorneys to determine the best people to see their side of the case. Diddy has been charged with two counts of sex trafficking, two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, and one count of racketeering. Attorneys for Diddy rejected a plea deal offered by prosecutors on May 2. Terms for the proposed deal were not disclosed, but he pleaded not guilty at his first court appearance in 2024. The arrest took place after federal raids were conducted at his homes in Miami and Los Angeles in March 2024.
Prosecutors added a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) charge after claiming that the Bad Boy founder coerced alleged victims through intimidation and drugs to take part in parties labeled “freak offs.”
After denying a motion to postpone the trial for two months, Judge Arun Subramanian stated that Diddy’s attorneys had enough time to prepare. “It is unclear why there isn’t sufficient time to prepare.”
So now, a gathering of 150 potential jurors has been summoned to try to pare it down to a jury of 12, with alternates.
TMZ has reported that the jury selection will be difficult for both sides, although prosecutors have an edge. Public perception based on media reports and the reputation of Diddy’s attitude over the years may work against him, as well as the anticipated showing of the Cassie video, which aired on CNN last year, that shows Diddy assaulting his former girlfriend. Although he made a public apology, the severity of what was seen may still be etched in people’s minds.
But defense attorneys may be able to get some sympathetic people on the jury who, outside of the Cassie video (which isn’t included in the charges against Diddy), will want other proof. Race will probably play a part in the selection, as will the selection of men and women based on who they think would be more sympathetic to the No Way Out artist.
The trial is expected to last two months, so some potential jurors may not want to commit for that length of time. Both sides will also have to consider the biases for and against such a major celebrity, as they may have views based on who is on trial rather than hearing all the evidence and defense presented at trial.
In TMZ’s “Downfall of Diddy” documentary, a mock jury did say that their thought process began and ended with the video they saw of Cassie.
‘Ms. Pat Settles It’ Season 2 Mid-Season Return Promises Non-Stop Hilarity
Ms. Pat is bringing sheer shenanigans to the second half of 'Ms. Pat Settles It.'
Comedian Patricia “Ms. Pat” Williams is celebrating the second half of Season 2 of her BET courtroom comedy series Miss Pat Settles It. In a recent interview with BLACK ENTERPRISE, Ms. Pat shared her enthusiasm for the show’s continuation. She also spoke about her Ms. Pat scripted television show and her comedic journey.
Season 2 of Ms. Pat Settles It is well underway. The first half of the season has aired, and the comedian says she’s pleased about the remaining episodes.
“I’m feeling great, you know, people caught the first half of it earlier this year, so now we’re making the other half of it.”
Ms. Pat presides over real-life disputes with the jury comprising friends, family, and special guests, including Ray J, Tamar Braxton, and more. While Pat is the seasoned comedian on set, she admits the guests often can make her laugh. She recounts an episode involving two women who met in federal prison. Ms. Pat describes uncontrollably laughing at the shenanigans of the plaintiff, a woman who “weighed 102lbs, but she was ready to fight.”
Beyond her courtroom rule, Ms. Pat draws from personal experiences in her comedy. She stressed the importance of timing when addressing sensitive topics about her history. She describes her comedy and personality as “raw.” Still, she emphasizes she shares only when the time is right.
For instance, she postponed an episode about her experience with molestation until the third season of the Ms. Pat Show because she wasn’t initially prepared to tackle it.
Discussing her comedic evolution, Ms. Pat acknowledges she has grown significantly since her early days in stand-up.
“I’ve grown a lot. I realize I’m not the only person that’s been through something, so when I open my mouth and say the things that I’ve been through, I’m not just speaking for Ms. Pat, I’m speaking for everybody,” she said.
When asked about advice for aspiring comedians, especially Black women, Ms. Pat emphasized perseverance.
“Do you. Don’t stop. The key to anything in life is to keep going. Stop worrying about everybody else pointing to you. Point to yourself.”
Fans can catch new episodes of Ms. Pat Settles It, airing Wednesdays at 10/9C on BET. Additionally, the Ms. Pat Show is set to return for its 5th season this fall.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett Calls Trump ‘Terrified,’ Says He’s Threatened by Strong Black Women After ‘Low I.Q.’ Insult
Crockett did not mince words about the Trump administration and its loyal followers, especially some of her white women colleagues.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) had some words for President Donald Trump herself after hearing he called her a “low I.Q. person” during an interview with NBC News.
Trump sat down with NBC’s Kristen Welker for an interview, during which he answered various questions following his first 100 days in office. During the talk, he mentioned the Texas lawmaker by name when claiming the Democratic Party is in “total disarray.” After hearing her speak, the President said she is “definitely a low I.Q. person.”
Crockett caught wind of Trump’s comments and decided to clap back on X, saying that while he claims she is “new,” her name is constantly coming out of his mouth. “For you to be in charge of the WHOLE country, you sure do have my name in your mouth a lot,” Crockett wrote.
“Every time you say my name, you’re reminding the world that you’re terrified of smart, bold Black women telling the truth and holding you accountable. So keep talking…”
For you to be in charge of the WHOLE country, you sure do have my name in your mouth a lot.
Every time you say my name, you’re reminding the world that you’re terrified of smart, bold Black women telling the truth and holding you accountable.
— Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (@RepJasmine) May 4, 2025
According to Fox News, she continued to press back against the President’s claim while appearing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” saying she would “absolutely” take a head-to-head I.Q. test against Trump.
The first-term Democratic leader has had no problem showing off her I.Q. when clapping back at the Trump administration and its loyal followers, especially some of her white women colleagues. In January 2025, Corckett got into a viral spat with South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace during a House Oversight Committee meeting where they voted to ban transgender athletes from women’s sports at federally funded institutions.
Mace threatened a fight outside the House walls after referring to Crockett as a “child,” saying, “If you want to take it outside, we can do that.” Crockett and Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene have also gotten into verbal spats on numerous occasions, resulting in her referring to MTG as “dumb and a lowlife” during her sit-down with Kimmel.
Jasmine Crockett while on Jimmy Kimmel last night:
After being criticized for allegedly referring to Texas’ Gov. Greg Abbott, who uses a wheelchair, as “Governor Hot Wheels,” Crockett’s GOP state colleague Randy Weber said he was looking “forward to introducing my resolution to censure you for your words and actions” after telling her that “words have meanings & actions have consequences.”
However, voters on social media seemingly agree with Crockett’s claim of Trump’s fear of Black women. Former Democratic National Convention member Khary Penebaker (@kharyp) supported the idea, stating Black women continue to bruise his ego. “Trump can’t stop crowing about @RepJasmine because fearless Black women torch his paper-thin ego,” he wrote in response.
“Keep her name rolling, Don—it spotlights your terror of truth & your party’s allergy to accountability. We’re here, we’re loud, & we’re voting. Deal w/ it convict.”
