It would be irresponsible of me to condemn riots w/out, condemning the intolerable conditions that cause folks to feel they have no other choice to get attention. A RIOT IS THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNHEARD. - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. #Parisriots#parisprotest#paris See y'all SOON

@MrChuckD Woot! Really looking forward to seeing this. I don’t buy much in print these days. I prefer ebooks. But this box set is an exception and I can’t wait to read it.
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.

👏CONGRATS @SenTuberville! You just joined the elite club of MAGA sociopaths who take credit for bills they vote AGAINST!🧵
Agreed, the rural broadband bill was vital. Why did you vote No? The CHIPS Act was vital too. Why did you vote no?
You ARE the swamp.
What you're doing is clear: You complain about the economy. Then you fight tooth and nail against bills that help the economy. Then take credit that Biden deserves when you lose.
Just like your orange hero.
But I promise you this:
I'm going to do everything in my power to assure Alabamans use their new Democratically-provided rural broadband to learn the truth about you...
The chaos you just caused for the military... the funding you held back from your state... the credit you grab for good bills you fought against...
You're a fraud, "Senator" Tuberville.
Alabama will soon see they has no true "representative" in the Senate. A con man occupies their seat, as they languish.
Until then, anyone paying attention already realizes the most important lesson of all:
You should have stayed at Auburn, to keep your losing on the local level.
I'll help you get your old job back.👇
The Holocaust—the murder of six million Jews—is one of the most well documented crimes in history, made possible by antisemitic conspiracy theories. Invoking those dangerous theories and calling for the mass murder of Jews is an outrage.
Ted Cruz: “Heidi and I are incredibly excited over federal funding to boost broadband here in Texas.”
Me: “But senator, you voted against it. Senator where are you going? Senator come back. Senator?”
Well I guess I was wrong in yesterday’s tweet - in this article Alabama Republicans didn’t wait until installation of broadband to take credit for federal dollars they had nothing to do with and in fact opposed. https://t.co/S4FRBAaZIC
