It was an honor to present my essay at @LouisvilleUL State of Black Louisville, and to have my words included next to some of Louisville’s best, brightest and bravest. We must understand the necessary role that young people have and must play in our movement for liberation.

Yea, idk about the new UPS contract, but as someone who worked there and did small sort package handling I can tell you on a normal day shift we’d see 500,000-600,000 packages. And that’s not peak season. And that was in 2007. I can only imagine what those numbers look like now.
Fun with numbers: . UPS drivers will make $170k a year by the end of their new contract. ~$80 an hour in 2029 (really?). 10 hour shift = $800 .how many packages per hour, 5? 10? .$800 / 50 packages = $16 in wages per package?.$800 / 100 packages = $8 per package?. My theory. .

Proximity to power alone is not power. Marginalized people gotta stop falling for the okie doke.

Doing my first airport pickup and home walkthrough for a newly arriving client. Think this is my last item on my list of resettlement tasks! I’m now fully initiated in @RESCUEorg! #RefugeesWelcome

So glad I got to see my former student Eli today, who is absolutely thriving and doing great work in refugee resettlement services in Boston! 🙌🏽 #DarrylLovesTheKids

Even if I believed that any of these means investment in funding for the necessities that families need to successfully raise a child, that still wouldn’t supersede the fact that women should decide what they do with their bodies. Not the government.
On the first anniversary of the Dobbs decision, let’s recommit ourselves to building a culture of life and supporting new mothers. I’m proud of my record to defend Kentucky’s pro-life laws, and I’ll be proud to be a pro-life Governor.

I see folks starting to do to #Juneteenth the same way they do #MLKDay. The service acts and programs is cool and all but to me the most radical thing Black folks can do on these days is rest and experience joy. I’m not coming to your lecture, sorry. Let white folks do that.

Man @HiJackTheDay was preaching yesterday. Reminded me that you can’t compartmentalize faith, and that faith and fear can’t coexist. So if you got faith, what you scared of?!? . Preciate you King! 👑.

I have a bad habit of making things sound ominous when talking to people. I don’t mean to make things sound so grim. Working on it.
