This is Jarveon Hudspeth — a 21-yo who died after he was shot during a traffic stop by a Shelby County (TN) Sheriff’s Deputy. His family says he was a devoted student who was studying to become an engineer at Lipscomb University.

BREAKING: A desperate Trump launches into an unhinged, misspelled rant in which he accidentally lets on that Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis is about to criminally indict him for trying to steal Biden’s win by overturning the election.

Trump declared today that, “I predict that the Racist District Attorney in Atlanta, with the per capita WORST crime record in the Country, Fani Willis, where murderers “get away with murder,” and are seldom charged and almost never prosecuted, will be dropping all charges against me for lack of a case. I made a PERFECTLY LEGAL PHONE CALL, AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, ABOUT AN ELECTION THAT I STRONGLY FEEL WAS RIGGED AND STOLLEN. NONE of the MANY LAWYERS on the call minded my words, or even hinted at wrongdoing. SCAM!”

This is a VERY telling “prediction” from Trump, especially considering that he hasn’t even been charged yet, so how can she “drop all charges?”

It’s obvious that Trump and his legal team know that criminal charges are imminent — and Trump can’t help but open his big mouth and make things even worse for himself.

Even better, the man who claims to have “graduated first in his class from Wharton” misspelled the word “stolen,” which even a first-grader can spell. By the way, Trump never even took a single class at Wharton Business School. He only took undergraduate classes in the Wharton building, where one of his teachers described him as “the dumbest student I’ve ever had.”

Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that District Attorney Fani Willis MUST criminally charge Trump — and consider investing in Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is currently doing a round of equity crowdfunding and just blew past $2.1 million raised from 5,300 of its users. If you want to own a small piece of what is quickly becoming the “next big thing” in social media, here is the link to do so, https://t.co/7S6ULL2pfG. You can invest as little as $100 — or as much as you’d like. Here’s the link to download the new Tribel app that Elon Musk is so afraid of: https://t.co/HnJzSKj4Hp

What’s actually disturbing is the feature of the Roberts Court to accept lavish gifts from billionaires, hide that fact, & then rule in their favor.

It would be an insult to democracy to respect this conduct. Legitimacy is not a birthright - it is earned. They are destroying it

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

The Supreme Court's recent rulings were sadly predictable for anyone who understands the hard-right agenda. Their goal has always been to install Justices whose job is to turn back the clock on our freedoms, on decades of constitutional decisions, and on our continuing struggle to “form a more perfect union” that includes all of us.

Let's vote out their political enablers and rein in the dark, subversive money that supports them in their quest to reverse a century of progress.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

This is Charles & Willa Bruce. In 1912 they bought prime beachfront land in Manhattan Beach, LA County and built a Black resort community. In 1924 the county took it and refused to pay its value. In 2021, worth $72 million, it was returned to their descendents by Senate Bill 796.

In 1912, Black Californians Charles and Willa Bruce bought a small slice of Manhattan Beach real estate for around $1,200. They built a resort for fellow Black families in the area who found themselves unwelcome at Whites-only beaches, even renting out bathing suits and selling snacks — and they were almost immediately subjected to racist attacks. Everyone from neighbors, the police, the city council, and even the Ku Klux Klan tried to close the beach down. The city imposed 10-minute parking limits near the beach to try and discourage visitors, and finally in 1924, the Manhattan Beach city council just seized the property entirely, offering the Bruces a fraction of their asking price. Today, the stretch of beach is worth around $20 million — and Los Angeles County voted to finally return it to the Bruces' descendants in 2021.

$760 billion in PPP loans were forgiven.

That’s $360 billion more than this Administration’s student debt relief program.

And, several Republican members of Congress who opposed student debt relief benefited from those PPP loans.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

During the 1940s it was rare for a black person to have control over large amounts of land.

In 1944, a group of white men brutally lynched Rev. Isaac Simmons, a Black minister & farmer, so they could steal his land in Amite County, Mississippi which was over 270 acres

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

We are on the brink of the biggest labor strike in America since the 1950s.

340,000 UPS workers just voted to authorize a strike if they can’t come to terms on a new contract with the company by July 31.

This is a huge deal. 🧵

To be clear... I'm all for small business (an owner myself) but to think that someone should have to live in poverty so that your business can exist is... damn... I don't even have words for it.

[Dylan Ogline @DylanOgline]

Just saw somebody try to argue that minimum wage isn't supposed to be a living wage. That their small business can't afford to pay a living wage.

If the only way your business can exist is the exploitation of labor (aka peoples actual lives), then your business should not exist.

[Keith Boykin @keithboykin]

Trump hosted Kyle Rittenhouse after he killed Black Lives Matter protesters.

Greg Abbott wants to pardon Daniel Perry, who murdered a Black Lives Matter protester.

Ron DeSantis is fundraising for Daniel Penny, who killed a Black man on a subway.

This is the Republican Party.

He cancelled it because nobody showed up

BREAKING: Tucker Carlson is hit with bad news as new Twitter competitor Tribel announces that they just permanently banned Carlson from their growing social media app, declaring that, “Tribel has decided to permanently ban Tucker Carlson from our network because Mr. Carlson is a proven liar, racist, and insurrectionist who spreads Russian propaganda that threatens our democracy. Banning him is necessary to protect our users.”

Please RT and ❤️ if you support Tribel’s decision to ban Tucker Carlson and think that Elon Musk and Twitter need to take notes! Musk just suspended Tribel’s Twitter account in a desperate attempt to stop Tribel’s growth — but he hasn’t yet banned this link to get Tribel’s new app: https://t.co/HnJzSKj4Hp

And I bet the majority of Americans of all ages, can NOT name 1 or 2 of those Black elected officials during 1861-1865. These were historic times and these elections were historic elections… yet they are absent from practically every school textbook!
