Do you really believe you're on the right side of history if you're afraid to be recognized? Civil rights protestors didn't cover their faces. Vietnam draft protestors didn't. Apartheid protestors didn't.
KKK protestors did.
One of the hardest lines a leader has given in years…
NYC Mayor Adams:
“It's despicable that schools would allow another country's flag to fly in our country. Blame me for being proud to be an American. We're not surrendering our way of life to anyone.
NEW: Joe Rogan calls out insane progressive policies that allow for squatters to “steal people's houses.”
🔥🔥
“This guy was explaining how he did it in this YouTube video. He was saying that you get a fake lease.”
“So you draft up a fake lease, you use that lease to get the power and things turn in your name, you pay the bill.”
“There's a bunch of different steps that you can do that just seems to indicate that you are the legal resident. Right.”
“And then they have to take you to court. And it could be months and months, years before you even get a trial.”
“It's so crazy that in the name of protecting tenants, which is important. You don't want a sh*tty landlord. Yeah. You wanna protect tenants.”
“But in the name of protecting tenants, you are, you're basically allowing people to steal people's houses.”

Looking a bit deeper at some Raspberry Shake stations, two stations definitely got "something within 5 mins or so of the game ending double play with the #Braves game at Truist Park. I am not saying this was a mini earthquake, I am absolutely not a Seismologist, but seeing how much camera shake there was at the end of that game from a broadcast camera mounted in a tripod that's built like a tank was a dead giveaway for me to look to see if the ground actually shook.
If nothing else, it would make for a good 30 for 30 story. #NLDS
“Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the revolutionary army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners, men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers or both, looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. The owner quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.
Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: ‘For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.’”

@SouthwestAir Please give your baggage people permission to text people if they can find a number. and to everyone else, this is why it is important to add a phone number to your luggage tag!!! Maybe let people put a contact number on their bag tag they print off?
Saw someone on #Twitter say if you find bags at baggage claim off to the side, see if they have a phone number on them. Then text the number and let them know where their bag is.
I got ~5 texts out before getting my bags. Looks like it helped someone!
