Quakertown PA MAGA police chief puts a 15-year old girl in a reverse chokehold and SHE is being prosecuted for aggravated assault?! 😑

Then there is the form and face of the statue itself. This dates to 1956, when the NAACP, backed with a court order, attempted to integrate the high school in Mansfield, about 30 miles southwest of Dallas. White residents erupted in fury, so Gov. Allan Shivers dispatched the Rangers. But unlike state police in other Southern racial hotspots, the Rangers in Mansfield did not escort black students past howling mobs of white supremacists. They had been sent instead to keep the black children out of a white school.


The commanding Ranger on the scene was Sgt. E.J. β€œJay” Banks. A wire service photo showed him casually leaning against a tree outside Mansfield High. To his left, above the school’s entrance, was a dummy in blackface, hanging from a noose. Nearby a white mob had assembled. Some carried signs that threatened death for anyone attempting to integrate the school. Banks saw no need to remove the effigy or disperse the mob. β€œThey were just β€˜salt of the earth’ citizens,” he later wrote. β€œThey were concerned because they were convinced that someone was trying to interfere with their way of life.” Blacks were so intimidated that none attempted to enroll at Mansfield.

The Horrible Truth of Love Field’s Texas Ranger Statue A new book about the Texas Rangers tells the truth about that famous bronze at Love Field and a 1930 lynch mob in Sherman. An excerpt from Cult of Glory.

Here's a good story about the statue of a racist cop the Texas Rangers are putting up at their stadium in the year 2026. www.dmagazine.com/publications...

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

Crow: "Friday night, Trump filmed this tough video where he talked about the cost of war & how hard it's gonna be & how we're gonna lose troops, then he literally went behind the curtain & hosted a million dollar a plate dinner & dance party at Mar-a-Lago.

Israel & Saudi Arabia pushed the U.S. to attack Iran.

Netanyahu killed 72,000 people in Gaza, mostly women & children.

Saudi Arabia is a brutal dictatorship that allows no opposition.

These are the leaders who want to bring β€œfreedom” to Iran?

Does anyone really believe that?

The final two years of this admin and all four years of the next need to be dedicated to the restoration/reformation of democratic institutions and the prosecution of Trump admin officials for their copious crimes. I will vote for no Democratic candidate who talks about the need to "turn the page."

🧡#OperationEpsteinFury is NOT supported by the majority of the American people - huge numbers of Democrats and Independents oppose it, think it will make us less safe, and that Trump has no real plans for what to do. Republicans think the opposite in large numbers.

I’ve heard people say, β€œWe only lost four people,” or, β€œIt’s JUST four people.” That’s humanity at its worst. Besides the fact that there are more than four people dead, including children, everyone would care if it was JUST someone they love or JUST themselves. Get it together, people

NEW: We filed an amicus brief asking the Supreme Court to ban police from using geofence warrants, which forces tech companies to hand over location data for everyone in a certain area during a certain time.

These invasive searches ensnare innocent people and violate our Fourth Amendment rights.

After Renee Good was killed, career FBI agents were ordered to stand down from investigating her killing.

Why?

Kash Patel wanted to falsely spin Renee Good as a threat to law enforcement.
