@Smongana But there is the possibility of growth intellectually as well as professionally and best believe that's what a lot of people want, myself included, stagnation is so prevalent in other institutions it's not funny
Most of you donโt know who she is, but sheโs important. Her name is Latasha Harlins. In 1991, at the ripe age of 15, Latasha went to her local Korean owned food mart and never made it out. The store ownerโs wife, Soon Ja Du, mistook her for trying to steaI a bottle of orange juice and a minor struggle ensued. Du grabbed Latasha and ended up getting pushed to the ground. Du then went and got her gun and pointed it at Latasha. Latasha bends down, picks up the orange juice, and places it on the counter. As Latasha had walked away to leave the store, Du shฦกt Latasha in the back of the head at a 3 foot distance, kiIIing her immediately. Du tried to claim self-defense, but there were 2 eyewitnesses, and the storeโs security camera showed otherwise. The jury convicted Du and advised the judge to go with the maximum sentence of 16 years. Du walked away with 400 hours of community service, 5 years probation, and a $500 fine, as the judge said, although Mrs. D acted inappropriately, her actions were justified. Judge Joyce Karlin states that Mrs. Du was the victim, Latasha is the criminal and would be standing in front of her for assault on a store clerk had she not died. The slaughter of Latasha Harlins is one of the major factors in the initiating of the LA Riots. We only hear about Rodney King, but she is the original #SayHerName. Tupac had an affinity for Latasha and mentioned her name in several songs as well as dedicated the iconic song โKeep Ya Head Upโ to Latasha. So today we say Latasha Harlins, youโre a pillar baby girl, whether they realize or not. And today, someone heard ya storyโค๏ธ
@letsinoRollz@Maya_Legacy Just so you know, never kick a man when he's down, dint throw stones when you live in a glass house๐๐๐๐๐๐๐if this comes to bite me in the a#@ I shall take it I stride

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
๐ฎ๐ท Iran just released a video showing two parallel stories:
A girl getting ready to go to school, and a U.S. soldier getting ready to bomb the school she attends.
Brutal.
School asked them to come dressed as animals for the celebrationโฆ look at them heading home like this ๐๐
This is childhood at its funniest and most wholesome โค๏ธ
