Georgia Is Letting a Railroad Seize Land a Black Family Has Owned For 100 Years
Descendants of enslaved people are fighting an attempt to use eminent domain to carve a spur through one of Georgia’s largest Black‑owned farms.
In the 1800s, a slave owner purchased over a dozen people in Georgia and set the foundation for his family’s generational wealth
Generations later, a railroad company owned by one of his descendants is using eminent domain to seize land of Black farmers

The job market sucks, groceries cost a fortune, you can’t afford a house, utility bills keep going up, the national debt is out of control, we’re about to bomb Iran again, & DOJ is protecting wealthy pedophiles, but everything is great because Trump is going to release UFO files.

Virginia Giuffre’s Brother: It was disgraceful that Bondi couldn't even acknowledge us because if they did that, then they would admit wrongdoing. Our president can't do that. The reason is he is potentially implicated in these files. He may have to answer some questions himself.

We know that Trump is going to repeat the “I’ve been exonerated on Epstein” line every single day forever because that’s what he does.
Would it be totally outrageous for someone then to simply ask him who it was that exonerated him so we can get some clarification on that?

One thing that's important to realize now is that, even in a scenario where Dems sweep to a crushing trifecta in 2028, Republicans will use their control of the courts to attempt to continue, as much as they can, to run executive agencies in exile, with DHS/ICE under Biden as the model

Judge scolds Mark Zuckerberg's team for wearing Meta glasses to social media trial
A Los Angeles judge ordered Meta officials to remove their AI glasses at a trial over the impact of social media on users.
"The judge upbraided the Meta team and said if you guys have recorded anything, you have to dispose of it or I will hold you in contempt," Jacob Ward, a technology journalist and the host of the Rip Current Podcast, told CBS News, calling the incident "an extraordinary misstep" by Meta.

State House votes to rename Florida airport to Donald J. Trump international

Yes. But Tucker is working at least part-time for Russia. I would like to understand if Cenk is working for anyone. Russia has been working the "horseshoe" extreme left and right for awhile, bringing them together. Nihilism and grift span all political boundaries.

The mandates we're seeing today in Florida are dictated by the state, but Stephen Miller is itching to do the same at federal level - to control what your children are taught, and how they can think. 2/

Do you think Cenk Uygur's new aggressive conspiracy peddling is a pure grift or is he being paid to do this? Seems like he's taking over the role once occupied by Alex Jones, with a pitch to the left. (And remember Jones, besides all those RT appearances, had a 3-year business visa to Russia).

And Pinker's plane ride is worse, sitting with Epstein while a plaintive little-girl voice says "where are you taking us?" Pinker needs to step down from all teaching roles. (Dataset 2, EFTA00003212)

Yesterday, those who teach Intro to Sociology at Florida colleges (as opposed to universities) received a ready-made curriculum from the state and were ordered to teach it.
Yes, you read that correctly. The *state* is enforcing a curriculum on college profs, complete w/ the following restrictions:

This account has warned for YEARS that state-mandated college curriculums were coming. That a goal of people behind Trump - on Jan 6 and now - was to dictate what's taught at ALL levels, K-12 to university. People didn't want to believe it can happen in the US. But it can. And now it's happening.

Russia is currently losing 30,000–35,000 soldiers per month, either killed or seriously wounded, according to Zelensky.
They are literally paying with the lives of 156 people to occupy 1 km of Ukrainian land.
