Veterans Are Tweeting Their Support Of Colin Kaepernick Protesting The National Anthem
Kaepernick said the protest was his way of shedding light on racial inequality and police brutality in the US.
“I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” he said in an interview with NFL Media on Aug. 27.
“To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder,” he added.

35, going on 265 weeks pregnant
I am exhausted. So ready for this to be over so I can meet my princess. I’m in the home stretch, but it seems like each day that passes is just dragging more and more.
Especially with me being out of work for the time being. It’s hard. Most days I don’t want to get out of bed because I’m so tired. Let’s not forget about the pain as well. Last night was a rough night. I felt like I was going into labor!
All in all, I know I’m not going to be put through anything more than I can handle. This pregnancy is really making me second guess ever having another child. I would LOVE to try one more time, and give my boyfriend a junior, but I don’t see that happening. You never know. But as of right now, my heart is set on birth control. Ha!
Wow
This man has been in solitary confinement longer than most of us here have been alive….
Please think about that…

33 Weeks
I am 33 weeks today, and I could not be more ready for it to be the end. I never knew how tired someone could be while working full time, and being pregnant.
All of the flutters I feel inside from her make it all seem worth it.
I’m just trying to understand how women were able to be full time mothers in the past, when today’s wages aren’t enough to cover the cost of living.
I want to be able to stay home with my children, provide for them, and ensure they grow up right. It bothers me that I had to put Cydni in daycare, and it bothers me that I may have to do the same with Robyn. Society doesn’t provide you with enough time to be a parent, but criticizes you when you work to be able to provide for them.
I’m just trying to do what’s best for myself and my family.
