A rude stranger bumped into a woman at a supermarket, didn't apologize, and kept walking. She won $10 MILLION because of it.
– LaQuedra Edwards had $40. That was her lottery budget. Forty dollars, same as always.
– In November 2021, she walked into a Vons supermarket in Tarzana, Los Angeles, fed her $40 into the Scratchers vending machine, and started picking her usual cheaper tickets.
– Then someone walked into her from behind.
– Hard enough to knock her hand into the wrong button.
– Out came a $30 ticket she never asked for.
– A single ticket had just swallowed 75% of her entire budget.
– The man didn't stop. Didn't turn around or even say a word. He just walked out the door.
– She stood there, annoyed, holding a ticket she didn't want.
– She got in her car and started scratching while still annoyed.
– Then she stopped. She looked at the ticket. Then looked again.
– She got on the 405 freeway, one of the busiest highways in America, and could not stop glancing down at what was in her hand.
– She almost crashed her car.
– She pulled over, opened the California Lottery app and scanned the ticket.
– She said this out loud “This can't be right” and she scanned it again.
– The $30 ticket she bought by accident was the top prize winner. 10 MILLION dollars won by accident.
– *"All I remember saying once I found out how much I just won was: I'm rich."*
– She bought a house and she started a nonprofit.
– The Vons store got a $50,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
– The man who bumped into her never found out.

Vickrum Digwa, who killed Henry Nowak, has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 20 years and 190 days years.
The judge said, "Your actions have stirred up racial tension in Southampton & across the country which have made many Sikhs worried about their safety.. You have brought shame upon your family & your religion,"
On the police, the judge said that "Henry was complaining that he had been stabbed and was struggling to breathe, but that would not necessarily have told the officers how serious the incident had become." He added that, "The knife wound would not have been obvious in the dark."
Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.
Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.
Pls take two minutes to listen to her entire response not just the one sentence highlighted in the caption. She lays it out PERFECTLY.
"I'll first say a big shout out to Mike and Delroy, like let's continue to honor them for how they handled that in real time, the grace and the dignity that they exercised, and the whole home team, everybody that was out there, like really carried themselves well. I think the events this weekend exposed a couple things - Institutionally, we still don't understand what inclusion means."
"Just because you invite someone into a space, but you don't provide the necessary resources to keep them and everyone else in that room safe by them being there, that's not inclusivity. That's exploitation."
"That man's disability got exploited that night, and it led to multiple offenses. That's the BAFTA's fault. And then the BBC, to air what they aired is careless."
"And not like some haphazard accident, no, like a real lack of care was exercised for those two Black men. And we know the BBC knows how to take care of what they care about, right, because they censored a bunch of other... they went so far as to make sure certain things weren't topics of conversation."
"They censored Akinola's speech, the director of My Father's Shadow, which is an amazing film, by the way. So you censored one Black man, you failed to protect two others, and our production designer, Hannah, you do not care for our dignity, our humanity."
"You want to celebrate our art, but you won't protect, and that's why we celebrate sinners. That's why we celebrate Ryan. That's why we show up to the NAACP, because those are spaces where we felt safe, where we feel safe."
- Jayme Lawson

The nation of saying sorry at the beginning of every sentence and giving apologies when someone bumps into them suddenly doesn’t understand what the point of an apology is, okay 😂
no i actually can’t believe this is ppl’s first time learning that harm you cause unintentionally doesn’t excuse you frm accountability aka a simple sorry
Don’t let intentional or unintentional racism take away from this monumental moment:
Ryan Coogler becomes the first Black man in BAFTA’s 77-year history to win Best Original Screenplay for ‘SINNERS’.
