This is the double standard Dems have had to deal with for the past 10 years.
🚨 North Carolina deputy pepper-sprays truck driver directly in the eyes at close range just for asking if he could enter a courtroom.
39-year-old Don D. Long II went to the Northampton County Courthouse in Jackson and asked a simple question: whether he was allowed inside the courtroom. According to his attorneys, Long was not running, threatening anyone, or causing any disturbance.
That’s when Deputy Gregory Colson sprayed him directly in the face with pepper spray at close range. Long’s legal team says the spray caused permanent eye damage and ongoing vision problems. They’ve now released video of the incident and sent notice that they plan to sue the deputy, the sheriff, and county officials for excessive force.
A man went to a courthouse to handle legal matters and walked out with lasting eye damage after asking one question. Video of the encounter is now public.
How does a simple request to enter a courtroom justify being pepper-sprayed in the face at close range? And what kind of training or oversight allows this kind of force to be used so quickly on someone who wasn’t being aggressive?
Should Deputy Gregory Colson be fired if the video confirms Long was only asking a question, or should officials wait for the full investigation?
When the economy sneezes, Black workers catch a cold. Latest data shows white unemployment at 3.8% and Black unemployment at 7.6%. Entire communities are being left behind in the so call recovery. We need real, inclusive growth. 📊✊🏾 #EconomicInequality#BlackWorkers
🚨 “Chimping out.” That’s what Patrick Scott Barnes heard while quietly eating and reading at his regular restaurant in Sanford, Florida.
The Black man was minding his own business in a booth when a group of white men at a nearby table kept staring. One of them used the racist slur loud enough for him to hear. When Patrick confronted them, one immediately started apologizing because he realized he was being recorded. Another threatened to get Patrick fired from his job.
Then the guy in the hat jumped up and threatened to knock Patrick’s glasses off his face.
That’s when the recording started.
Later that same day, a restaurant representative who wasn’t even working tracked Patrick down at his job. She had seen the footage, knew him as a regular, and confirmed he didn’t start anything. She apologized and told him he was welcome back anytime. Patrick accepted.
Racists often only find manners when the camera is rolling and some still try to punish you for simply existing in public.
How many times does this exact scene play out with no camera around? And what does real accountability look like when the only thing that stops it is someone hitting record?
Hasan Piker: “All of these Fox News guys are like I can’t believe this is what Graham Platner was doing. Pete Hegseth was literally your co-worker and was a notorious drunk rapist. I feel like I’m losing my mind, the standards are so out of wack. We just never look at Republicans. They can do whatever the fuck they want. They can literally murder, cheat, steal, rape”
This is remarkable. Trump is giving Pulte, who lacks the statutory qualification (national security expertise) for the DNI job the position so they can manufacture another stolen election charge, or perhaps try to justify halting them altogether. It’s out in the open.

Children can’t vote, but their hunger is real. Yet, once again, Gov. Brian Kemp has refused to help — vetoing funding for summer nutritional assistance. Georgia families are struggling to afford groceries, rent and health care, and this would be a lifeline.

Not gonna lie, this is a badass museum donation.

Rep. Brown to Brooke Rollins: "So this is what a golden age of agriculture looks like? Because if rising bankruptcies, falling farm income, and worsening financial conditions are a sign of a golden age, I'd hate to see what a downturn looks like."
