Sorry for missing this earlier, @tedcruz. Been busy leading my state's emergency response all day. From Kentucky.

Yesterday in federal court, the CIA, FBI, and DEA filed a memorandum opposing our motion for summary judgment in the FOIA disclosure case about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s drug trafficking investigation records, where we are seeking to have the redactions removed from the (partially released) files.

In the filing, the CIA effectively confirmed that Nigeria's sitting president is an active CIA asset. An excerpt from the CIA filing reads:

"Human sources can be expected to furnish information to the CIA only when they are confident the CIA can and will do everything in its power to prevent the public disclosure of their cooperation. In the case of a person who has been cooperating with the CIA, official confirmation of that cooperation could cause the targets to take retaliatory action against that person or against their family or friends. It also places in jeopardy every individual with whom the cooperating individual has had contact. Thus, the indiscretion of one source in a chain of intelligence sources can damage an entire spectrum of sources. As such, confirming or denying the existence of records on a particular foreign national, like Tinubu, reasonably could be expected to cause damage to U.S. national security by indicating whether or not the CIA maintained any human intelligence sources related to Tinubu, and identifying any access or lack of access any such sources had to intelligence concerning him."

And if that wasn't bad enough, the DEA's filing included a paragraph that literally said: "We oppose full, unredacted disclosure of the DEA's Bola Tinubu heroin trafficking investigation records because we believe that while Nigerians have a right to be informed about what their government is up to, they do not have a right to know what their president is up to."

At this point, I think there is nothing more to be said about the direct role that the US government plays in ensuring that Africa is constantly destabilised and afflicted with terrible leaders who create poverty and devastation.

Well, let's see what the Trump era will bring.

Today in History: June 2, 2016.

Mrs. Bridget Chioma Agbahime, 74, was beheaded in kofar wambai market in Kano and her head hoisted on a stick and taken on a victory parade afterwards. Her crime was that she told a Muslim not to perform ablution in front of her shop.

A Thread!

We Remember Our Fallen Heroes Today.

Dear Igbo Nation, today, May 30, 2023, marks 53 years since we sadly lost over 3 million Igbo brothers and sisters to Nigerian-Biafran civil war. They gallantly fought and died for us to live.

Let's Retweet in respect to our fallen heroes 🙏

I mean seriously, why won't women just hold in their periods and wait until they get home? 🙄

On May 24, 2022 in Uvalde Texas, an 18 year old walked into Robb Elementary School and shot and killed 19 children and 2 adults.

On April 11th, 2023, in Houston Texas, a man paused his dinner date to shoot and kill a fake parking attendant.

On April 28th, 2023 in Cleveland Texas, 5 members of a family (including an 8 year old child) were shot and killed by their neighbor after they asked him to stop firing his gun on his front lawn so their baby could sleep.

On May 6, 2023 in Allen Texas, 8 people (including a 3 year old and 2 elementary school students) were murdered while shopping at an outlet mall.

So when Republican lawmakers in a state where it’s easier to get AR-15s than books about Black history say their abortion ban is about being “pro-life”…
They’re full of shit.

Andrew Lester told police he heard the doorbell ring, picked up his .32 caliber revolver, opened the interior door, “saw a black male,” was “scared to death,” and shot twice within seconds. He was released less than two hours later.

#RalphYarl accidentally rang the door of the wrong house while trying to pick up his siblings. For this, a man shot him in the head. Then shot him a 2nd time as he was on the ground. The man is free and the 16-year-old is fighting for his life in the hospital. This can’t be it.

[Chelsea S. @UmEarth2Chelsea]

This is your reminder that in 2015, #LakeithSmith (a 15-year-old), was sentenced to 65 years in prison for the death of his friend who was murdered by an Alabama police officer.

Lakeith is now 23, still in prison, & yes- you read the first sentence correctly.

Thinking of Daunte Wright's family. Thinking of the greater Minneapolis community. Thinking of all the Black folks who wake up to this news again and again and again and again and again. Thinking of the toll is takes on your body, the air it pulls from your lungs. Every time.
