"[Billionaires'] wealth growth is so great that they alone could provide a $3,000 stimulus payment to every man, woman and child in the country, and still be richer than they were 9 months ago." https://t.co/GzMOxaW1YR

And there it is, Deputy Miguel Vega. Who chased and shot 18 year old Andrés Guardado in the back 5 times, killing him, did for a tattoo to join the Compton Sheriff’s deputy gang, The Executioners. https://t.co/ZnFESjOJqp
