And then again, after the ray of light on Trump prosecution, we need to evaluate the landscape in Fulton County GA &
Class conflict undermines assumptions about political solidarity.
She also continues to send poor Black people to the deplorable Fulton County Jail where conditions defy your worst nightmares and justice is a cruel joke.
Black ppl are always finding themselves in the crevices created by way of history.

Lifelong conservative Judge Luttig: "This false and reckless insistence that the former president won the 2020 presidential election in a landslide has laid waste to Americans' confidence in their government, their democracy, and their Constitution." But where has he been in defense of the full agency of Black citizens in this country? Where was he when was challenged by 2 Impeachments and a winning campaign for one Presidency?

I join you in this significant highlight. And, the attendants in the protocol at court last night was like a Black justice gauntlet of justice warriors. All that melaninization of the process.
But I old enough, educated enough to understand that but for Black people, freed Black people, all of 'em - America put little thought into the nature of its character.

Thank you for advocating for this. I am a pioneer of Black talk radio of the 80s, and the lessons were there but it was "Black talk" and many felt it less important, not wholly relevant and it was not white. As a result, we are now having to revisit those lessons of the past. Lessons are repeated until they are learned.

"Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch is urging the U.S. Supreme Court not to review the State’s Jim Crow-era felony disenfranchisement law, telling the justices that the State “purged any taint from the 1890 law” with changes in 1950s and 1960s—a period when Mississippi was openly defying federal desegregation orders."
I'm trying not to hurt myself laughing and gagging at the same time. Ole' Miss runs deep.

This is the 2nd major Black independent media outlet attempt in the last 5 years. They fail mostly because when listening to Black people most whyte ppl want to feel good about what they are hearing; to be agreed with on points, and are so far behind they lose the points because of the holes in their education. This may be true of most listeners. But, for both, whytes & Blacks this can be true. Whytes for different reasons; Blacks for another.

"The fact that Warnock squeaked through does not cover over the fact that there was nearly a one million ballot drop in the total vote from the last runoff election. And that puts the lie to the claim that there was a record turnout and therefore no voter suppression."

Why bark when there are hounds available? The difference between Trump and DeSantis as authentic ? One understands the principles of and knows how the stencil is set. The other just read the results. and the death of is the goal of both.

@marcelias Thank you for what you do. You have created an effective model for activism in other arenas. Hopefully, other legal professionals will use the model.

One of the most important books to read and understand the radicalization of into a full movement to erase the notion of democracy in America. Since my read and interview w/ @DavidNeiwert , I have viewed this book as the early analysis the early blueprint which leads to and what is to come.
