This was 49 years ago… all those racist white kids in the video are 55-75 today. They run the country, run the judicial system, serve as police chiefs, etc. Let that marinate, bro.

@NYCStreetStages @tyler_kolek I didn’t sue. I had them start a fund to add a fellow to help litigate cases like mine for people that couldn’t afford it. It the sad part was the lack of accountability. Guy that tackled me lost 5 vacation days. Slap on the wrist and emboldens him to do worse.

Police killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley on the false claim his mother stole diapers. His killer is on paid leave & his ID is hidden. Police killed 7-year-old Aiyana Jones as she slept in her living room. Her murderer Joseph Weekley walked free. Police killed 11-year-old Tamir Rice as he played in a park. HIs murderer Timothy Loehmann walked free. America's carceral system treats Black children like chattel because the system isn't broken—it's working exactly as intended. And that's the problem.

It’s obvious that the revoking of the legal status of 530,000 Immigrants is all about racism and not whether they came here the right way.

Buttigieg: We didn't know it, but we've all been trusting our lives to the restraint of whoever the president might be. And now we have a president who is completely unrestrained. And so the only answer to that is a functioning Congress. It turns out we do not have a functioning Congress. The House of Representatives is not representative. One of the most important organs of our democracy is not democratic. They say, "Oh, no. We're not manipulating the map to disempower black people. We're manipulating the map to disempower Democrats who happen to be black people.” So, the time has come to make it impossible to manipulate the map for any reason and just have fair maps.

A good time to remind you that Black people are 7.5 x more likely to be wrongfully convicted of murder than whites, and that this risk is higher when the victim is white.

FL police use A.I. to identify a vehicle theft suspect from surveillance video. Based on an "85% match" they arrest and charge Jalil Richardson. He spends 3 months in jail. He loses his job, his home, and custody of his kids. Richardson lives in N.C. He's never been to

Follow the money on this one. It is rotten to the core. The Pentagon just lent $620,000,000 to a tiny North Carolina startup called Vulcan Elements. The company is two years old. It had fewer than 50 employees. And three months before the deal was announced, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture firm quietly took a stake in it. Here is the part the administration tried to bury. Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was weighing, Vulcan was the only deal initiated by a top White House aide. That aide was Peter Navarro, a close friend of Trump Jr. The order came down to move fast. One official put it plainly: The call came from the White House. We have to get this done. Staff worked late nights to push it through in weeks. Deals like this normally take many months of vetting. And when it closed, Vulcan’s valuation jumped from about 200 million dollars to roughly 2 billion. A windfall for the investors, including the president’s son. This is public money. Your money. Routed through the Pentagon to enrich the president’s family and their friends. The Bush administration’s own chief ethics lawyer called it corruption we pay for. And there is more coming. A drone parts company Trump Jr. holds a stake in is also under Pentagon review. This is not a one-off. It is a pattern. The president’s family is treating the federal Treasury like a private bank, and the bill lands on every taxpayer. propublica.org/article/donald…

The most disturbing part about this video is if she did have a right hand, the ticket would stand, her insurance rates would go up, if she had a cdl, her company might fire her. We give entirely too much weight to the testimony of cops who refuse to believe they were ever wrong

Kathleen Thomas was issued a citation in February after a Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputy pulled her over for allegedly using a phone with her right hand. But Thomas doesn't have a right hand. This week, the officer requested that the citation be dismissed. Here's bodycam

Today, we commemorate the Tulsa Race Massacre and the destruction of the Greenwood District, or Black Wall Street. This is personal to me: my ancestors left Oklahoma for Denver after the attacks. Remembering our history matters, and so does building a better future from it.

A PARENT’S JOURNEY THROUGH YOUTH SPORTS: Age 5: “He’s got a cannon.” Age 6: “He’s the fastest kid out there. Coach said so.” Age 7: “Rec ball isn’t challenging him anymore.” Age 8: “We tried out for select. Obviously made it.” Age 9: “$2,800 for the season. Plus uniforms. Plus tournaments. Plus hotels.” Age 10: “Cooperstown is basically a family vacation, right?” Age 11: “He needs a hitting guy. And a pitching guy. And probably a mental performance coach.” Age 12: “I’m not a crazy sports parent. The OTHER parents are crazy.” Age 13: “We changed schools. For academics. (And also baseball.)” Age 14: “Showcases are a requirement at this age.” Age 15: “Ya his ranking just ticked up. We’re cooking.” Age 16: “He just needs to get seen by the right school.” Age 17: “The D1 schools want him to walk on. He’ll earn a spot by sophomore year.” Age 18: “Okay, D2 is actually really competitive.” Age 19: “He’s redshirting. Strategic.” Age 20: “He’s focusing on school now.” Age 21: “You know what? He’s so much happier.” Roughly 7% of high schoolers play in college. About 1.5% of those get drafted. Less than half of draftees ever play one day in the big leagues. The odds of our kids going pro are somewhere between “struck by lightning” and “find a $100 in old shorts.” I love youth sports (all my kids play a bunch of them) just keep a good perspective my friends. ✌️
