They're thinkin "I could be next" the way our communities have been screaming "our kids could be next" since the assault weapons ban expired two decades ago.

The reason public figures are speaking out against political violence is because they share a social class with Kirk and they have class solidarity. Kamala Harris and Dr. Umar, etc are far closer to Charlie Kirk than you are to them. His death is real in a way yours isn't.

You think Black people having equal rights is "special treatment" because you are a racist. Hope this helps.

So who taught a young Jack Daniel how to distill what would become the world’s best-selling whiskey?

Nathan "Nearest" Green, an enslaved Black master distiller, taught distilling techniques to Jack Daniel, founder of the Jack Daniel Tennessee Whiskey 🥃 .

—Uncle Nearest, as he was fondly called by family and friends grew up in Lynchburg, Tennessee, and began working on the farm of a country preacher and distiller in Lincoln County around the mid-1800s. It was there that he learned the skill of distilling and specialized in a process of distillation known as sugar maple charcoal filtering which was also called the Lincoln County Process.

Nearest was such a skilled distiller in the process he specialized in but he kept working with the preacher in the Lincoln County and fortunately it was there that Jack Daniels met him.

In the mid-1850s, Jack Daniels who was just a young white boy from a large family and who also lost his mother to a sudden illness at the age of four months began working as a chore boy for the preacher whom Uncle Nearest worked for.

It is said that Jack Daniels was a curious young boy who kept asking about the smoke coming up through the hollow on the 338-acre property and why men kept hurrying back and forth from that area which he was never allowed to go with mules and wagons.

He never stopped asking, until the preacher whim he worked for decided to give in to his curiosity took him to the area on the property where the smoke came from.

As later described in the boy’s biography, it is said that the preacher introduced the young boy to a “coal-black negro” which was uncle Nearest.

He introduced Uncle Nearest by saying “This is Uncle Nearest. He’s the best whiskey maker I know of”. The preacher went further to ask Nearest to teach the young (Jack Daniels) everything he knew about distilling and also the process of sugar maple charcoal filtering. A request Nearest obliged and taught the young boy the special filtration process of the Tennessee whiskey.

Blackstone is now the largest corporate landlord on Earth with over 300,000 homes in the U.S.

Billionaires and corporations have bought millions of homes and either raised rents or left them as empty investments.

There are 16 million vacant houses—28 for every homeless person.

a year ago the IDF destroyed Al Shifa hospital in Gaza, killing 100s because—they claimed—underneath it was a Hamas Bond villain lair (left) that turned out ofc to be completely false

Now they’re making identical claims about a hospital in Beirut (right) they plan on destroying

We live in an Orwellian world where Iran is the “destabilizing” force in the Middle East, not the country occupying the West Bank, Gaza, Golan Heights, & attacking Iran, Lebanon & Yemen.

The rest of the world thinks this rhetoric is mad. It’s for US domestic consumption.

So sick.

Remember that members of Congress are permitted to own stock in war manufacturing, so when they vote to send more bombs or send our loved ones to war, they profit personally.

Our country is funding this bloodbath. Sending more of our troops and bombs to the region is not advancing peace. The U.S. government are conspirators to the war criminal Netanyahu's genocidal plan.
