BREAKING: Mitt Romney just announced that he will not vote for Donald Trump. Romney makes it abundantly clear Americans should not vote for a convicted sexual abuser. Retweet so all Americans see this.

Former Trump AG Bill Barr on Trump's federal indictment: "If even half of it is true, then he's toast. I mean, it's a very detailed indictment, and it's very, very damning. This idea of presenting Trump as a victim here -- a victim of a witch hunt -- is ridiculous."

In the photograph captured during the March against Fear in 1966, civil rights activist James Meredith endured a heinous act of violence. He was shot in the head, back, and neck by an unidentified sniper who ambushed him while leading the march aimed at raising awareness about racism. Let us delve into Meredith's inspiring story:

Before the incident, James Meredith had already established himself as a notable figure. As a veteran air force pilot, he made history by becoming the first black man to be admitted to the University of Mississippi in 1962. Initially accepted, his admission was later revoked upon the discovery of his race. However, the U.S. Court intervened and ruled that the university had unlawfully discriminated against Meredith, thereby granting him access to the institution. On his first day at the university, Meredith was accompanied by law enforcement officers due to the high threat level posed by racist individuals in the area.

In 1966, Meredith orchestrated a march known as the "March Against Fear," in which he initially stood as the sole participant. Spanning an impressive distance of 220 miles, the march aimed to shed light on racism and encourage African Americans to exercise their right to vote for politicians supporting their civil rights in the upcoming elections.

On June 6, 1966, the second day of the march, as Meredith crossed the Mississippi border, he fell victim to an ambush orchestrated by a white man named Aubrey Novell. From a concealed position in a wooded area, Novell fired three shots at Meredith, inflicting severe injuries. It is important to note that despite police and FBI surveillance, this brutal attack managed to occur.

Fortunately, James Meredith survived the ambush. On June 26, civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and other activists, along with thousands of participants, took charge of the march and successfully completed it. Meredith, determined and resilient, managed to rejoin the marchers shortly before its conclusion. Throughout the march, the group faced various forms of hostility, including attacks, harassment, and threats from both civilians and law enforcement personnel.

In the aftermath of the attack, Aubrey Novell was found guilty of assault; however, the punishment he received was lenient, with a mere two-year prison sentence. This outcome sparked further discussions and debates about the need for more stringent measures against racially motivated violence.

Remarkably, James Meredith is still alive today, at the age of 89, carrying with him the memories of his courageous actions and unwavering commitment to the fight for equality and justice.

Despite all of her angry tweets about the Omnibus bill and Zelenskyy, Marjorie Taylor Greene was caught fleeing the country to Costa Rica for vacation earlier this week. She voted by proxy, despite introducing a bill to ban proxy voting earlier this year. https://t.co/yydHYbVYxf
