@elleryrjones Welcome to Raleigh! I heard the horn at my house. I have taken the Silver Star north and south from Raleigh, and was skeptical about the shift to the Floridian. Enjoy the rest of your ride.

[David Anderson, Jr. @DavidRGH]

@elleryrjones And it's available for coach passengers? Since 2020, the Silver Star only offered dining to passengers with private rooms, which really ruined its appeal.

Holy Week is when Christians remember that the only time Jesus ever grabbed a whip & went after people, it was to drive money-hungry folks like this out of the temple.

Last year, a coworker randomly asked me to hand-deliver an antique violin across the country. I said yes, because why not. I had no idea what I was getting into, and now I need your help. A 🧵

His name is #RalphYarl and I’m sick and tired of this feeling…my heart completely broke when I learned this precious 16-year-old, who accidentally rang the door of the wrong address in an attempt to pick up his siblings, was shot in the head… (1/3)

@halleberry .@halleberry #RalphYarl is precious. He was my 3rd grade student about 8 years ago. Sweet, kind, very bright, hard-working and friend to all. Thank you for sharing. Praying for him!

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Ban assault weapons.
Require safe storage of firearms.
Require background checks for all gun sales.
Eliminate gun manufacturers’ immunity from liability.

We can and must do these things now.

Ralph Yarl, age 16, knocked on the wrong door in Missouri and was shot.

He went to the door at the wrong home to pick up his younger twin brother and that’s when he was shot, according to police.

CBS affiliate KCTV reports: “The correct address Yarl was attempting to go to was a block away. According to the victim’s Aunt, Faith Spoonmore, the homeowner opened his door and then opened fire on Yarl. The man, whose identity has not been released yet, allegedly took a second shot at Yarl, hitting him in the head again.”

According to KSHB TV: “Yarl was shot by a homeowner after mistakenly arriving at the wrong address — 1100 block of Northeast 115th Street instead of 1100 block of Northeast 115th Terrace.”

The shooting happened April 13th.

The shooter was held by police for 24 hours, pending investigation, but then released.

“I want everyone to know that I am listening,” Kansas City police chief Stacy Graves said at a news conference at Kansas City police headquarters downtown, “and I understand the concern we are receiving from the community.”

“Yarl is the utmost example of how you want a young man to carry himself in this world,” said one of the teen’s longtime teachers to the Kansas City Star. Meara Mitchell, a teacher of Yarl’s for several years, called his shooting “incomprehensible.” She described him Sunday as a “stellar human-being” with a “quiet fortitude.”

KCTV 5 adds: “Yarl is a section leader in his school’s marching band and is said to be a top-base clarinet player in the state of Missouri.”

When you bout to follow your heart but the Lord shows where that leads...

[David Begnaud @DavidBegnaud]

Better yet, look at the video of the arrest. The officers told the ladies they were trespassing on PUBLIC PROPERTY.
Then one officer lied to his supervisor saying the women (ages 85 & 60) nearly beat the officers’ ass*s”. You clearly see on video that never happened. The officer told his supervisor:
“ I’m glad nobody was recording. Because a bunch of police officers beating up on a couple of old ladies it was rough.”

The current socioeconomic system has as its goal concentrating profits for the rich. We need to change this goal to flourishing of all people and the planet.

I think a lot of people don't realize that we have robust examples for these policies working in other countries. They're not, pardon the pun, out of left field. We would probably benefit economically, health wise, and safety wise if we implemented them.

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

I cannot predict what will happen in our country, but I do believe we will look back and be appalled at the failures of journalism in this period of clear and in my lifetime, unprecedented, attacks on freedom of speech and our democratic institutions.
