In order to block Prof Lewis from a job he was overqualified for, they were plotting to change the entire qualification protocol so a woman who didn't have the right credentials could get it, placing the university's accreditation in jeopardy.
Anti-Blackness is a hell of a drug.

The State Department said ​it takes "full responsibility" for "hastily" altering and then presenting a map of Africa at a global AIDS conference that mislabeled every single country it highlighted.

An analysis by Reuters found a watermark in the map image that suggests it was made with OpenAI.

They will be remembered as the most disgraceful team in the World Cup history. I’m actually speechless.

A reporter asked Lamine Yamal how he handles the pressure of carrying Spain at 18. His answer: my mother had me when she was 16, that's real pressure. My father picked things off the street to bring food home, that's pressure. All I have to do is play football.

That's the whole story of who he is, and most fans only know the surface of it.

Before he was born, his teenage parents fell behind on rent. Two neighbors named Lamine and Yamal covered them, and his father vowed his son would carry both names forever. His legal name is a permanent record of a debt his family couldn't repay in money. In Arabic, the names mean "the trustworthy" and "beauty."

His parents split when he was around 5. His mother raised him in Granollers on a fast food wage. And here's the detail almost nobody knows: that job is the reason he became a footballer. Through work she met the daughter of the youth coordinator at CF La Torreta, his first club. When she worried she couldn't cover the fees, he told her that if the boy wants to play, money will never be the reason he can't.

As a kid, Lamine told his parents: if you're counting on me getting a normal job, we're in trouble. But if I become a footballer, you'll never have to worry again.

He signed with Barcelona at 7. He was right by 15.

Every goal, he flashes 304 with his fingers. The end of 08304, the postal code of Rocafonda, the neighborhood where strangers paid his family's rent before he existed. It gets credited on every goal since.

Today, at 19, he plays for the World Cup. And if he scores tonight, somewhere in the biggest broadcast on Earth, two neighbors will hear their names, and a postal code will flash on 2 billion screens.

Tonea Nicole Miller was found hung in a tree while celebrating Juneteenth in Miami, FL!

Little to no news coverage is surrounding this case.

Help spread the word. The family is looking for answers!

texas is still set to execute a man who committed no crime while they have DNA proof and a confession that proves he didn't do it. on top of that, his original trial was riddled with racial prejudice and racist practice.

james broadnax should live.

AS THE WORLD IS ONCE AGAIN DISTRACTED BY THE LAUNCH NARRATIVE AND WAR, WE STILL HAVE OUR MOST IMPORTANT BRINGS ON THE PLANET STILL BEING ABDUCTED!! DO NOT ALL THE DISTRACTION FROM THE TRAFFICKERS AND PEDOPHILES GO AWAY! ITS STILL HAPPENING!!

He raped a 12 year old girl repeatedly for years.

He sexually abused a child.

Trump chose him to be his “spiritual advisor”.

He was found guilty and only served 6 months.

He destroyed that child’s life. She will never be the same.

6 months is an atrocity.

WOW 🚨 Delta Dental is considered a nonprofit but the CEO skyrocketed her pay from $4.5 million per year all the way to $48 million over 4 years

That’s $1 million dollars per month pay for one employee as a nonprofit

“Delta Dental is considered a non-profit, and as such you can be their taxes online. So I got curious in their 2014 filing, the IRS requests for the organization's top accomplishments.

Delta Dental reported that over 95% of claims electronic, online and paper were processed without any manual intervention. That means when your care is denied, there is less than 1 in 10 chance a human reviewed it

— That same year, Delta dished out up to a 30% pay cut on the care that doctors deliver, and for a decade, they did not raise what they pay for your dental care by a single penny.

Meanwhile, their CEO's salary skyrocketed. She went from 4.5 to $15 million a year. From 2014 to 2018, she made off with almost $48 million before leaving her position. That's a million dollars a month. Must be nice. And she's not even a clinician. She's a CPA.

You don't have to be an accountant to do the math. Dr. Pay cuts stagnant reimbursements. They were never about saving patients money on premiums.”

This is absolutely insane

A concerned resident in Illinois tries to voice her concerns about a Data Center

Joliet, Illinois councilman Pat Mudron immediately shuts her down saying she "cannot comment on that"

They won’t even let residents question them

She says “I’m gonna comment on it anyway. You have officially sold out every single resident in Joliet”

These people very clearly do not work for their residents

The 12 year old girl this Pastor raped and assaulted will never be the same again.

He stole her childhood.

He abused her for years.

He’s already out of jail and will do probation in a fancy lake house.

He was also Trump’s former spiritual advisor.

I just want to take this opportunity to point out that there is a man named Henry Walter Wooten, from Smith County, Texas, who is serving 35 YEARS IN PRISON for marijuana possession.

Carry on.
