On Valentines Day 8 yrs ago, I had very early stage breast cancer and had a double mastectomy. 3 yrs later, I met a guy I fell madly in love. I told him I don’t have boobs but he said it didn’t matter. 4 weeks later he dumped me for Delta flight attendant. This isn’t us

@NekiasNBA Does literally anyone still have their own picks for the next five years?

@cmville05 @WUTangKids And here i am thinking being a democrat means i wouldn’t wish for any Republican to be president ever

@kasbti @cjtackett Depends on the market but they’re usually funded by 2, 3, or both. Gates and the Waltons have co-funded numerous charters and charter advocacy orgs. They accept any student bc the more students are in charters, the more money they make.

@david_j_roth Always been grateful how he’s obliterated the Jordan ethos of needing to be an asshole to be the greatest

@ettingermentum I’m so in love with the theory that he’d do it to escape prosecution

@shreyabasu003 It’s Jack, hi, he’s the problem

@IwriteOK I keep thinking about the report that one of the officers had previously assaulted someone as a corrections guard. And how he’ll probably be a permanent inmate now. And how there’s a whole structure built to keep him in that house his whole natural life one way or another

Slavery was probably 1000x sicker than what we think it was.

Turning a modern day lynching into a commodified experience for viewers in a way that not only dehumanizes the victim of police violence, but also turns us into consumers and removes the public from the discussion is pretty bleak even for the American police state dystopia.

@clapifyoulikeme As a lawyer in Memphis, who has tried civil rights cases against Memphis Police, I think they might have gotten away with this but for the “eye in the sky”. It appears that one officer is covering his camera intentionally during the most brutal part beating.

@901McLaughlin @clapifyoulikeme This this this

[Loombisaurus @jeremiahellen]

@clapifyoulikeme If it weren’t for a streetlight cam they probably didn’t know about that had the worst of the footage, they probably would have gotten away with it.

[Loombisaurus @jeremiahellen]

@IwriteOK The way they rolled out the video for days. And threw the book at all 5 immediately. It was all done to *protect* the institution of policing.

[Loombisaurus @jeremiahellen]

@BrendonInc @sweaustin0 @hasanthehun That’s cool that you think that

[Loombisaurus @jeremiahellen]

@BrendonInc @hasanthehun The most damning footage isn’t from a bodycam, bc the bodycams were covered/turned away from the crime. While the cops shouted “stop resisting”, to cover their tracks. Gtfo with this, cams don’t fix shit.

[Loombisaurus @jeremiahellen]

@WesleyLowery Not like, would the whole system be interrogated if they were white. But there’s this feeling like oh we have some bad cops out there, must hold them accountable to protect the institution of police. And they’re Black.

[Loombisaurus @jeremiahellen]

@WesleyLowery It’s a loaded question i know, and I’m white, but i keep wondering: the rollout of this has been unlike any other police violence video, and they’re clearly wanting to pin *all* the accountability in the specific 5 officers, and would they be doing that if they weren’t black?
