“I was confused, to be honest. I was born and raised in Woodbridge, Virginia, so, you’ve got everything about me and now you’re saying that I’m an alien. Why would you let me vote before and not now?”
White man shoots Black neighbor who was out working in his yard. The Black man has sustained injuries to his neck, chest and a concussion and ribs. The white neighbor has not been arrested yet because the police said they're afraid of him.🤨
If you have enjoyed this thread, please be kind enough to share it.
It has been created with love, respect, and the hope that the world's most unique city may endure forever.
You may have heard the term “Project 2025” floating around, and you may even have cracked open the 900+ page document yourself, only to see a lot of kind of bland, policy-wonk text. So let me crack through the policy-speak and tell you WTF is in this document.
A law in Florida charges inmates $50 a day to stay in prison cells. Plunging them into lifelong debt. A woman who was sentenced to 7 years but only did 10 months still owes $127K and can’t work in her dream job even after graduating from college.
Police are still looking for this pedophile who was caught on live TV during a Snooker tournament. If you know anything or see him please report it to the South Yorkshire Police Department.
Zack Scrivner, 50, supervisor for Kern County's 2nd District, and Kevin McCarthy’s protege, was stabbed twice by his child in the upper torso( he’s stable) for the alleged sexual assault of another one of his children.

WATCH: @EmoryUniversity Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin saw a protester on campus being violently arrested, and asked the police "What are you doing?" — then was violently thrown to the ground and arrested herself.
Sickening.
Tennessee Republicans just cut off debate and passed a bill to arm teachers in our schools.
The public chanted “Blood on your hands!” as the Speaker ordered troopers to clear the gallery.
This is what fascism looks like.
WHY ESPN MUST EITHER SILENCE OR FIRE STEPHEN A. SMITH: Its longstanding policy - no, you can't be a sportscaster on one station and an advocate for a presidential candidate on another station - is right. I know: I helped to author it because the day when you (or I) could straddle both worlds is long gone.
So why is today's ESPN letting Smith do it? Why is he campaigning for Trump on Fox News? ESPN must make him choose advocating for a despot or keeping his job saying nothing particularly relevant about sports - not both. And I'd insist on the same either/of if he were campaigning for Biden
AND: TRUMP'S STOCHASTIC THREAT NUMBER ONE MILLION: HE WANTS HIS THUGS TO BE "ALLOWED TO PROTEST AT THE FRONT STEPS OF COURTHOUSES, ALL OVER THE COUNTRY" rather than be “rudely and systematically shut down and ushered off to far away ‘holding areas’ essentially denying them their constitutional rights.”
When THAT stochastic call to lay siege to federal buildings didn’t work (why does that sound SO familiar?) Trump tried what he thinks is smooth and subtle. “The Palestinian Protests at Columbia University have closed the college down. But the area surrounding the Courthouse in Downtown Manhattan, is closed up like a drum, with New York City’s Finest (Police) all over the place. Why not send some to Columbia… Republicans want the right to protest in front of the courthouse like everyone else.”
Again. Seems oddly familiar. Reduce law enforcement around an area Trump wants to see sacked by gangs and militias and morons ready to spring him or hang a Vice President or, who knows, kill a judge. He forgot to note “will be wild.”
There is little for Justice Juan Merchan to DO about this latest threat other than to encourage the city and the state of New York to have tanks ready. But with Trump following yesterday's half-day in court ending with more violations of the gag order, Merchan can at least regain control of this mess by - if not jailing Trump at today's gag order hearing - at least saying: if you do it again I will revoke your jail and send you to Rikers Island. We have to grasp this nettle eventually, let's do it now.

Rep Chris Todd just shoved @brotherjones_ and Republicans voted against ruling him out of order. However, Republicans ruled Jones out of order twice for video taping with his phone.
