@LqLana I heard this story before and even commented on it. What I didn't realize is that they sent 4 whole police officers to traumatize and arrest one 10 year old child.
Unbelievable.
Mississippi hates Black children!
A 10-year-old boy waiting for his mom in the car has to use the bathroom.
Not able to hold it any longer discreetly urinates behind the car.
One officer witnessed this. Called for backup. Four more officers come to the scene.
Now mom is there and wants to just take her kid home.
Nope. They put him in the police car and take him to jail.
The prosecutor wanted a citation “child in need of family services.” The family argued this and wanted a trial. The prosecution then threatened to upgrade charges to disorderly conduct.
Eventually, a youth judge offered a sentence of a writing a book report, three months of probation, and drug testing. Did I mention the curfew?
The family continues to fight the charges.
This would have never happened to a white child.
You don’t know how many times I’ve had to pull over tonthe side of the road when my children were young.
Mississippi is trying to continue the school-to-prison pipeline for Black children.

@SouthwestAir Omg, this was SO cute! What a touching and fantastic thing to do for the children and well-deserved teachers. Way to go Southwest! ❤️ #Luv
Do you respect what Trump allegedly did here?
Captain Luis Avila, who was a veteran, had a chance to sing in front of hundreds of people including President Trump in 2019.
However, per a new story by the Atlantic, according to the Mark Milley, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Trump approached him after the performance and asked:
“Why do you bring people like that here? No one wants to see that, the wounded.”
Trump then allegedly told Milley to never let Avila appear in public again.
Is this not a terrible thing for a President to say about a wounded veteran?
BREAKING: Corrupt Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is slammed with another jaw-dropping scandal as it's revealed that he attended at least two donor events for the right-wing Koch network.
This alone should be grounds for impeachment and removal...
According to a bombshell new report from ProPublica, Thomas attended a private dinner in 2018 for donors at the conservative group's yearly summit. He was brought in because the Koch organizers believed that providing access to him would drive up donations, a blatant abuse of his position.
To make matters even worse, the Koch network has brought cases before the Supreme Court, meaning that the group appears to have been essentially bribing Thomas for his support.
Th justice, who clearly believes himself to above the law and the rest of the country, attended at least one private dinner for "top-tier donors" who were clearly buying access.
True to his usual lawless and criminal behavior, Thomas did not disclose the trip on his financial disclosure form, a violation of federal law.
It's still unclear who paid for his luxurious private jet flight. The Koch network insists that it was not them.
Enough is enough. At this point the only way Clarence Thomas could make his corruption any more blatant would be by accepting a big sack of money with a dollar sign painted on it.
This man is an utter disgrace and he is stripping away our rights one by one for personal gain.
Impeach.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you support removing Clarence Thomas — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is exploding in popularity because it banned Trump for life and because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX
@MTemons@mmpadellan HB does NOT live at WH, paid back taxes and a fine, pled guilty to gun charge and agreed to terms, show real proof of trafficking women- that’s Gaetz. So what if a son attends a social function at the WH? You’ve got it hard for HB.
Hunter Biden does not pass laws.
Hunter Biden does not fight crime.
Hunter Biden does not lower taxes.
Hunter Biden does not create policy.
Hunter Biden is not a politician.
Hunter Biden was not elected.
Hunter Biden does not even work anywhere near the White House.
So WHY are so many Republicans spending countless hours and so many taxpayer dollars obsessed with Hunter Biden?
If your answer is "corruption" but you completely ignore the $2 BILLION DOLLARS Jared Kushner got from the Saudis, or the $640 million he and Ivanka racked up from their White House gig, then you're not a serious person.
You're only focused on Hunter Biden because President Biden is kicking ass and you have NOTHING else.
BREAKING: CNN is exposed in a humiliating leak as it's revealed that backstage before his interview, Donald Trump told the network's CEO Chris Licht that he was going to boost their ratings — Licht nodded and told Trump to just "have fun" with the interview.
Trump then proceeded to engage in his trademark brand of "fun," namely spreading lies about the 2020 election being stolen and smearing his sexual abuse victim E. Jean Carroll. His hateful supporters ate it up and he loved getting the free media coverage.
This leak proves that CNN doesn't care about the damage Trump is doing and doesn't take its journalistic responsibilities seriously. The network only cares about turning a profit.
Retweet to demand that CNN never do another Trump interview like this!
Corrupt disgrace Greg Abbott and MAGA Republicans in Texas have now given their state Secretary of State the power to cancel all elections results in Harris County, the largest Democratic county in Texas and are moving to ban all college campus polling sites.
This is fascism.
Unreal: Colorado's Intelligence Agency, which is tasked with monitoring Terrorism threats, is now monitoring the student groups *protesting* gun violence in Colorado, per information investigative journalist @kenklippenstein received.
Students all over Colorado had walked out of school to protest government inaction on the issue.
BREAKING: AOC calls for right-wing Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to be impeached after it was revealed that for 20 years he has been accepting private jet and superyacht travel as well as luxury resort vacations from a Republican megadonor — she says the "degree of corruption is shocking" and "almost cartoonish" and says that if nothing is done this court will be remembered for: "rank corruption, erosion of democracy, and the stripping of human rights." RT TO DEMAND THAT CLARENCE THOMAS BE IMPEACHED!
The Republican-controlled Tennessee State House of Representatives will convene to vote on ousting three Democratic lawmakers, which, if successful, would mark the first partisan expulsion in the state's modern history. https://t.co/200Sb7LaVa
Republicans wake up every single day thinking about children's genitals and then pass laws so that they can 'inspect' them.
This is Kansas House Speaker Republican Daniel Hawkins who passed the most recent 'inspect children's genitals' bill.
BREAKING: Following the ProPublica report about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas this morning, US Congressman Ted Lieu has called on Thomas to resign from the SCOTUS!
Money should not be used to pay off Justices of the most powerful and influential court on the planet.
I stand with Ted Lieu in calling for Justice Thomas to RESIGN IMMEDIATELY!
Kansas Republicans just overrode the Democratic governor’s veto, enacting a new law that allows for forced genital inspections of children to make sure they’re not transgender. https://t.co/7Zx1nVQc1y
@ReallyAmerican1 Love those courageous Representatives.
💙💙💙💙
It's despicable how the right is looking to call anything an insurrection now, in a desperate attempt to drain all meaning and significance from the word.
If everything is insurrection, nothing is.
Utterly ridiculous.
OUTRAGE: Just a week after Tennessee suffered a devastating mass shooting at a school, Republicans are adding insult to injury by seeking to expel 3 Democratic Representatives who protested for gun reform alongside students.
Instead of focusing their efforts on ending gun violence, they've targeted Reps. Justin Jones, Justin Pearson, and Gloria Johnson for expulsion.
Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton (R) has the audacity to call their nonviolent, chanting protest "an insurrection" that is "at least the equivalent, maybe worse" than January 6th.
There were no arrests, no violence, no injuries, and no property damage. The protesters were never on the House floor, and they didn't attempt to gain access to it.
The Tennessee House has only expelled members for bribery and sexual misconduct, and it was always on a bipartisan basis, unlike this one.
Drop a 💙 if you stand with those 3 Reps and agree they must NOT be expelled.
Republicans last week: “How dare Alvin Bragg take campaign money from George Soros. It creates a political bias since Soros is a Democrat donor.”
Republicans today after finding SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas had been taking millions of dollars from Republican donor Harlan Crow for the past 2 decades: **ABSOLUTE SILENCE**
FACT: Republican donors donate to Republican DA’s too.
FACT: The Supreme Court is the highest court in America and it is supposed to be non-partisan.
FACT: Republicans are hypocrites.
