I love that a Black woman is responsible for this. 😂
Shout out to @RepBeatty for filing the lawsuit to get Trump‘s name removed from the Kennedy Center
🚨 MASSIVE DEVELOPMENT: Rep. Thomas Massie announces he is introducing legislation to force the declassification of all records regarding the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty!
He demands Washington finally prioritize American lives over the Zionist regime's massive coverup!
🚨 WTF?! A USS Liberty survivor drops a massive bombshell.
He confirms they were threatened with prison or worse if they ever spoke about the Israeli attack.
Another veteran explicitly states "Israel owns us" after being ignored by Congress for 59 years. Total betrayal!
🚨🇺🇸 Thomas Massie will honor the USS Liberty Crew in Congress on June 8th.
Israel KILLED 34 Americans while attacking the USS Liberty in 1967, injuring 171 more.
AIPAC says speaking about the event is antisemitic.
🚨 “Chimping out.” That’s what Patrick Scott Barnes heard while quietly eating and reading at his regular restaurant in Sanford, Florida.
The Black man was minding his own business in a booth when a group of white men at a nearby table kept staring. One of them used the racist slur loud enough for him to hear. When Patrick confronted them, one immediately started apologizing because he realized he was being recorded. Another threatened to get Patrick fired from his job.
Then the guy in the hat jumped up and threatened to knock Patrick’s glasses off his face.
That’s when the recording started.
Later that same day, a restaurant representative who wasn’t even working tracked Patrick down at his job. She had seen the footage, knew him as a regular, and confirmed he didn’t start anything. She apologized and told him he was welcome back anytime. Patrick accepted.
Racists often only find manners when the camera is rolling and some still try to punish you for simply existing in public.
How many times does this exact scene play out with no camera around? And what does real accountability look like when the only thing that stops it is someone hitting record?
🚨 North Carolina deputy pepper-sprays truck driver directly in the eyes at close range just for asking if he could enter a courtroom.
39-year-old Don D. Long II went to the Northampton County Courthouse in Jackson and asked a simple question: whether he was allowed inside the courtroom. According to his attorneys, Long was not running, threatening anyone, or causing any disturbance.
That’s when Deputy Gregory Colson sprayed him directly in the face with pepper spray at close range. Long’s legal team says the spray caused permanent eye damage and ongoing vision problems. They’ve now released video of the incident and sent notice that they plan to sue the deputy, the sheriff, and county officials for excessive force.
A man went to a courthouse to handle legal matters and walked out with lasting eye damage after asking one question. Video of the encounter is now public.
How does a simple request to enter a courtroom justify being pepper-sprayed in the face at close range? And what kind of training or oversight allows this kind of force to be used so quickly on someone who wasn’t being aggressive?
Should Deputy Gregory Colson be fired if the video confirms Long was only asking a question, or should officials wait for the full investigation?
