Pleased to report that the US Supreme Court has denied Derek Chauvin’s appeal after his conviction for the murder of George Floyd. It was the Privilege of a lifetime to work with the incredible @keithellison and the dream team he put together, and my team of 7 incredible @HoganLovells associates, over the last three years.
Howling at the moon will not change what happened.
Posting cherry-picked and doctored video clips will not change what happened.
There was an attempted insurrection in America.
We know those responsible.
They cannot rewrite history.
They cannot escape accountability.
We will not let them.
Not in the courts. Not at the ballot box.
Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, who planned the attack on Pearl Harbor, reportedly wrote this in his diary,
“I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.”
We were attacked again on January 6th 2021, this time by our own countrymen and a President who couldn’t accept his defeat.
Our resolve will not be denied.
A new bill in Florida, SB470, would remove in-state tuition from any student who "promotes a foreign terrorist organization."
This bill would likely be used to strip students who protest the bombing of Palestine of their financial aid in the state.
@analyticalposts @MayoIsSpicyy Blah blah blah I'm tired of wishy washy clowns claiming both sides are the same or praising fascism. Just shut up, man. Everyone is tired of hearing your bullshit.
1. As a journalist covering trans people, I often have to cover the hard stories. The ones of people no longer with us.

@Curiouscou69911 @fishingw_ethan Self defense by going to that location with an illegally purchased weapon and being caught saying a few days earlier he wanted to kill protestors.
You excuse it because he's white. Let's be real. If he was black you'd be in meltdown mode.
Kyle Rittenhouse murdered people.
One of them was a paedophile is not an excuse. I don't care the paedophile is dead. Nobody is supporting a paedophile. You can't just go out and kill people, that's the point.
@fishingw_ethan Actually 99% of people don't end up with getting shot for travelling across state lines with an illegally purchased firearm, so I'm not sure what you're point is.
What is it you guys say?
Why did he put himself in that position?
