Difference btwn millionaires and billionnaires:
To grasp how different a million is from a billion, think about it like this: A million seconds is a little under two weeks; a billion seconds is about thirty-two years.
(Strogatz, S. 2019. Infinite Powers..., p. 131-132.)
WATCH: Eric Garner's mother reacts to no federal charges for NYPD officer in fatal chokehold: "You could push back, but we’re gonna push forward, this is not the end." https://t.co/5X2QK640kT
Five years after Officer Pantaleo killed Eric Garner with a prohibited chokehold, justice continues to be denied to Eric Garner’s family.
We continue to await word on whether Officer Pantaleo will receive meaningful discipline in the NYPD’s internal proceedings.
This is an injustice. We have a responsibility to protect our citizens—and to hold police accountable when they fail. No one is safe in a country with a broken criminal justice system. My heart goes out to Eric Garner's family today.
The WH & Pres Trump have been trying to pivot & make the case that Pres Trump said @AOC@IlhanMN@AyannaPressley@RepRashida should leave the country & go anywhere they want. But that is not what the president said. He told them to go back to the countries from which they came.
Reporter to McConnell: You're married to an immigrant who's a naturalized U.S. citizen. If someone were to say to her, 'She should go back to her country'..would you consider that racist?
McConnell: Well, [Elaine Chao] came here at age 8 — legally.. [WATCH his full response]
I wish to continue to clarify. All I have is a feeling. I've no proof. I've read nothing that substantiates my feeling. I've no influence. I'm a lowly municipal employee on an island in the middle of Puget Sound. I've only this niggling feeling.
I retain the feeling he wants to challenge Trump for the nomination. He must gain/keep a majority of @GOP support to be successful. If he seeks to challenge, it is an inside fight. He’s walking a line while occasionally dipping his toes in the water.
The president’s comments were destructive, demeaning, and disunifying. The President of the United States has a unique and noble calling to unite the American people – of all different races, colors, and national origins. In that respect, the president failed badly.
Okay, I do not comment on her bc she’s not worth my time. Except now. This @FLOTUS has a role to play: the ideal trophy wife. She’s to be white, sexy, sexual, obedient, and silent. She’s a MAGAts dream wife. That’s her role. That’s what she does.
Melania Trump, who was not born in America, has been silent as her husband tweets racist and xenophobic attacks at four lawmakers https://t.co/r9RuObrYUo
The White House is standing by the president’s use of racist language, telling four minority congresswomen to “go back” to their countries of origin.
White House Deputy Director of Communications Adam Kennedy defended the remarks to @NoelKing.

The decades Mitch McConnell has run the swamp have been a disaster for Kentucky workers—who haven't gotten a meaningful raise in almost 20 years.
But don't worry, McConnell's corporate allies are doing just fine.
I cannot believe we have people like...what is his name?...Adam Kennedy?...Adam Kenny?...as part of an administration running my country. He is a smug, arrogant, racist apologist for a disgusting excuse for a human being who should NEVER have been elected.
Revision upon further reading: @realDonaldTrump , @KellyannePolls , @TheHannityShow chose not to do due diligence on the information they received. They were happy to propagate the lies no matter the source. And, Trump's supporters ignorantly, unquestioningly believe them.
Next personal takeaway from #MuellerReport : Russian media target the US public hugely. Efforts were geared toward @TheDemocrats and @GOP . However, the media and associated bots were given teeth when lies and propaganda spread by @TheHannityShow , @KellyannePolls , and Trump.
Officials working with asshat @realDonaldTrump should be professional and diligent enough to expose such flagrant infiltration. They did not do or chose not to do due diligence. Instead, they happily spread the lies.
Next personal take aways to #MuellerReport :
1. @HillaryClinton was targeted.
2. Deeper Russian hacking of Hillary and her campaign was encouraged by @realDonaldTrump as hacking increased after Trump's request for Russia to get the emails. [1/ ]
3. Wi lo ilraks was aware the emails were secured via Russian hacking. They never reported this Rissian hacking.
4. Trump Jr. took "orders" from Russian hacks to release inflammatory accusations against Hillary. He obliged them even while he never ??? who was making the orders.
