Unfortunately it might also have to do with the terrible offenses we’ve played so far. They can’t capitalize on our miscues at an effective rate.

me last week:

“There was, and is, no external crisis facing the United States. But for reasons of both personality and political ambition, Trump needs a crisis to govern — or rather, to rule. And if the actual conditions of reality will not give him a state of exception, he’ll create one himself.”

You did good!!!

It’s an attempt at anti-Black terrorism. The problem is we’re not afraid. But something interesting is happening…as incarceration rates fall and as Black mayors keep touting ever decreasing crime rates, some folks are upset and panicking. These extreme responses make sense to me in that context.

The trailer for “Love, Brooklyn,” starring Andre Holland, Nicole Beharie, DeWanda Wise & Roy Wood Jr, is out:

Mississippi DA, Exposed for Striking Black Jurors, Leaves His Office On His Own Terms When the Supreme Court struck down Curtis Flowers’ conviction, it sparked lawsuits, bills, and calls for oversight. But DA Doug Evans is getting to walk away with no accountability.

Over 26 years, a Mississippi DA, Doug Evans, and his team struck Black prospective jurors more than 4 times as often as white ones, famously in Curtis Flowers' case. Despite lawsuits and complaints, he never faced discipline and retired on his own terms. boltsmag.org/mississ...
