BREAKING: CBS News fires ‘60 Minutes’ correspondent Scott Pelley after he clashed with the show's new executive producer in a heated meeting. https://t.co/onEowEHW4H
When 60 Minutes is in trouble, we are all in trouble. When Pelley says CBS is meddling in his reporting for political reasons, believe it. https://t.co/lWpjdv1Unm
🛑 The Feds have SEIZED a hotel in Charlotte NC because its owner, Jessica Woodard, was allowing it to be used for illegal activities for YEARS.
Odd how the media and Feds aren't showing/arresting Ms Woodard. Isn't it?
Why isn't this being done to the illegal alien employers?
There was only one thing that surprised me about the Jubilee with MAGA die-hards.
It wasn't that some people scream and refuse to stop talking. It wasn't that these were mostly young people cheering and finding purpose in wars but never fighting in them. It wasn't that their politics is more of a cult of personality. All expected and found in all factions.
It was that, despite being political junkies, they had no idea about Trump's enormous corruption scandals because the corporate and independent media they consume doesn't mention it. They had no idea it existed:
George Floyd didn’t die because of fentanyl; that racist overdose theory was used to smear his name in court. He died because Derek Chauvin kept his knee on Floyd’s neck for nine and a half minutes. Chauvin murdered George Floyd in a modern-day lynching.
This brother was the last surviving link to the Jazz Age, the Harlem Renaissance, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Dizzy, Coltrane, Ella, Charlie Parker, Monk, all the way up to the Marsalises, Joshua Redman and Christian McBride in the present day.

In Louisiana, an unspoken agreement between the appellate judges in the 5th Circuit was to deny and ignore EVERY petition by a Black person seeking appeal. This horrific evil was revealed when one of the 3 people who tried to expose this committed suicide and left a note

Mad at Black actresses for playing fictional characters like a Mermaid or Helen of Troy. Ya'll mad about a Black president, a Black vice president, a Black woman on the Supreme Court, a Black president of Harvard. It's never-ending. If you don't like Black people, leave America
If white doctors took the complaints of black people, especially black women more serious they wouldn’t have to worry about people finding doctors that look like them and who they’re more comfortable with
bell hooks said that White people will meet a Black person who completely challenges every racial stereotype that they have, but rather than giving up the stereotypes, they create a special category for that person and say, things like “Well, you’re not like other Black people”, instead of saying, “My ideas of Black people were too narrow”.
This is called “subtyping” and it leads to the survival of negative stereotypes because the new category individual who’s supposedly “not like the others” is mentally isolated from the group.
What this shows is that bigotry is all about protecting an existing hierarchy and it doesn’t matter much whether a person is exposed to other people or not. Which is why meeting intelligent, kind, accomplished, or complex Black people does not dismantle prejudice if someone is emotionally invested in keeping the stereotype intact.
Exposure to facts and figures doesn’t change the situation either. Someone can know the statistics on crime, education, poverty, or discrimination and still keep racial stereotypes because the stereotype preserves a sense of superiority and avoids confronting historical responsibility.
This is part of why bell hooks further argued that racism is emotional and ideological more than just purely ignorant, which is then why facts by themselves usually do not overcome a worldview that a person is motivated to preserve.
As I get older. I realized how evil white journalism is. It's crazy how they made an entire video about the food they have to eat for sensationalism, but no actual reason for how they got here in the first place and who is doing this to them.
Keep posting this so people don’t forget how truly bad this event was.
Don’t let people gaslight you into thinking it was peaceful and worthy of 1500+ pardons and slush fund payoffs.
Rural indigenous communities have surrounded Evo Morales' residence to protect him. Leaked docs (attached below) show US armed forces & Bolivian police preparing a joint operation to kidnap him & massacre villagers.
