I argue the World Cup's defining match has already been played. This isn't just about football. It's about history, empire, race, migration, and why the descendants of Africa are reshaping the world's game. https://t.co/BhWPl1YgkX

It's been a little over a week since a beloved high school teacher from Oakland was killed in a crash that stemmed from a California Highway Patrol chase. Now, for the first time, Marvin Boomer's loved ones are opening up about their grief, the crash, and the legacy he leaves behind.  https://t.co/0V0ooHW23j #JusticeForDrMarvinBoomerJr #Oakland #PoliceReform #BlackLivesMatter#MichelleBernard

My choices for @KamalaHarris' VP- @GavinNewsom OR @SenSherrodBrown ! We need energy and inspiration!!!

[Michelle D. Bernard @MichelleBernard]

I'm with @JoeBiden. However, if @JoeBiden is really going to leave the 2024 race, he should step down as @potus. @VP @KamalaHarris would immediately become president and have time to show the world she is ready! Democrats will rue the day if they skip over @KamalaHarris

"Richard Leibner, the prominent talent agent who transformed the TV news business by guiding the careers of such renowned broadcast journalists as Dan Rather, Diane Sawyer, Mike Wallace, Andy Rooney and Norah O’Donnell, has died. He was 85." 🙏 https://t.co/Dd6nApPp29

Well #FaniWillis beat them down so badly that they aren't recalling her to the stand.

[Michelle D. Bernard @MichelleBernard]

Craig Gillen has no real or relevant questions to ask #FaniWillis.

Highly unlikely they are teachable. Their disdain for Black women and men would never allow it. If we did offer a course, it would start off with remembering the name of your witness, i.e., Mr Wade, NOT Mr Willis. All Black men do not look alike.

[Monique Pressley @MoniquePressley]

Should we offer the trial practice course now or later? Would we even be willing to teach these folks??

[Michelle D. Bernard @MichelleBernard]

One of the things we lawyers learn in trial practice is that if you have to follow up a question with "So ...", you've lost! I've now lost track of how many times the lawyers questioning #FaniWillis have followed up with a "So" question. Bad form. Bad practice. They are desperate

Fani Willis- "I'm not going to emasculate a Black man!" YES!!!
