FIFA honoring Trump feels like the only award heβs actually earned, its a professional association for corrupt people. its like a doctor getting an outstanding service award from a medical association

NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse.
The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead.
"Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender"
Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue."

Listen I hate Biden as much as the next guy, but for real reasons like appointing Merrick Garland or sending bombs to Israel. Every time someone says shit like "Biden promised he would be a one term president!" or "it's Biden's fault he had narrow legislative margins and an evil SCOTUS" I cry.

The receipts described in the complaint are damning. Text messages between Westport community property owners conspiring to strategically βeliminate βproblematicβ owners in Westport, and for the purpose of preventing βproblematicβ people from patronizing Westport.β
A secret βNo Play Listβ banning popular Black artists like BeyoncΓ©, Meg the Stallion, Drake, Cardi B, Kendrick Lamar, Migos, and Travis Scott from being played at venues. Landlords admitting on tape that they had no legal grounds to block a Black restaurateurβs lease, but doing it anyway after the CID intervened. And a twelve-member CID board, every single member white, acting as gatekeepers over who gets liquor licenses and who gets βturned in to Regulated Industries,β the city agency that polices alcohol permits.β
If Leeβs claims are proven, this is what a modern conspiracy to permeate segregation throughout a community looks like. Not burning crosses. Not explicit laws. But contracts weaponized as cudgels, liquor licenses held hostage, and music turned into evidence of who deserves to belong.
Welcome to what can only be described as a new form of Jim Crow in Kansas City.
This is so fucking wild, man. I never thought about how the shitty music was so fucking consistent between bars and restaurants
