To all my white Americans expressing allyship both privately and publicly...KEEP THAT SAME ENERGY ON NOV 3 WHEN U CAST YOUR VOTE. Especially my wonderful white women because in 2016 52% of y’all voted AGAINST equality, justice, human rights, feminism, living wages and healthcare

Roger Stone isn’t going to testify against Trump because worse case scenario he does his time at a federal prison that doubles as a country club. Tell him he’s doing all his time at Rikers and he’ll snitch quicker than someone on the first 48 after they bring donuts and coffee

While riding the elevator with my neighbor I noticed he had two @amazon packages in his hand. I said, have you seen @UploadOnPrime and he said no. I said GO WATCH IT NOW. He said OKAY. I expect he’ll thank me for the suggestion the next time we ride the elevator together.

It is wildly offensive to use #SayHerName when referring to the female terrorist shot and killed at yesterday’s capitol riots. Breonna Taylor was asleep in her bed in her home! Not following the ignorant words of an idiot too egotistical to accept his loss.

Comedy is so therapeutic. Omw to my show tonight I was tired, a bit jet lagged, and unsure of what I wanted to cover in my set. I told myself ‘do ur spot and go straight home’. I had a ball on stage. I laughed hard. I even stayed and watched the other comics. Thank you comedy.
