Well, I saw a post that was fact checked and didn’t have the hashtag. But, I was about to go edit and add the tag and noticed a new choice in the three dots options of my post that says Fact Check so I just hit that. You apparently need 5 people to do it before it works.

Ronald Reagan’s war on drugs did not hurt black communities in America.
Accuracy Alert!
Based on these credible sources, it can be concluded that the claim 'Ronald Reagan’s war on drugs did not hurt black communities in America' is not valid. Evidence indicates that the 'War on Drugs' led by Ronald Reagan and previous administrations resulted in mass incarceration, especially targeting Black and Brown communities. These policies disproportionately affected social mobility in Black communities and often resulted in police brutality in impoverished regions. Further, efforts like the 'just say no' campaign were ineffective and did not address the root causes of drug abuse.

Clarence Thomas loves Black People.
Accuracy Alert!
The claim that Clarence Thomas 'loves Black people' is subjective and cannot be definitively proven or disproven based on the provided sources. Although these sources do not speak directly to Thomas's personal feelings, they reveal a spectrum of opinions about his impact on the Black community. Some sources suggest that his judicial opinions and viewpoints on welfare or affirmative action are seen as harmful or unpopular with much of the Black community, while others suggest he has a belief that his methodologies could lead to better outcomes for Black people. This information indicates a complexity and variance in responses to his actions and policies, but does not directly address his personal feelings towards Black people.

If you want to follow the NY Election Interference trial and don’t want to wade through the bird site, Michael J Elston did a great job live spouting today.

Michael J Elston @BuzzBurbankHope Hicks has been excused as a witness.03:35 PM - May 03, 2024
She and Trump both avoided eye contact as she exited the courtroom.
And with that, Judge Juan Merchan adjourned Trump's criminal trial for the week, as juror has an a late-afternoon appointment.

Florida's devastating 6-week abortion ban went into effect today, thanks to Republicans. Thanks to voters, abortion and marijuana will be on the ballot here this fall. If either or both of these issues move you, make sure you're registered. And vote!

Trump is in the courtroom to face another hearing over further violations of his gag order.
No members of his family are with him today and--oddly--he's wearing a yellow tie, instead of the usual red or blue.

Prosecutors are presenting 4 documents, alleging Trump violations of the gag order. Trump's lawyers will present 500 documents in his defense. The 1st alleged violation is Trump accusing the jury of being '95% Democrats.' The 2nd involves public praise of witness David Pecker.
09:41 AM - May 02, 2024
The 3rd & 4th alleged violations of the gag order both accuse Michael Cohen of lying to prosecutors. The DA's office is asking for the maximum $1K fine for each of these alleged offenses, but says it is not asking for jail time...at this time.
09:53 AM - May 02, 2024
After Trump's lawyer complains about attacks from Biden, the judge reminds Trump's team he's allowed to respond to those...since the gag order only applies to comments about witnesses, jury members & court personnel. In other words, the complaints about Biden are no defense.
09:57 AM - May 02, 2024
In defending Trump's alleged gag order violations, his lawyer complains Trump has to answer press questions. The judge: "It was your client who went down to that holding area and stood in front of the press and started to speak. It wasn’t the press that went to him."
10:05 AM - May 02, 2024
The court takes a short break before the jury's brought in. Judge Merchan appears to agree with Trump's lawyers that Michael Cohen has been taunting Trump to attack him. But the judge appears to have no sympathy for Trump, regarding his attack on the jury.

The first trial of an American president for allegedly corrupting an election with false documents has resumed in New York.
Back on the stand is the former attorney for Stormy Daniels & Karen McDougal, Keith Davidson.

As evidence of a coverup, the jury's looking at a hush-money agreement that disguised Trump as 'David Dennison' & Stormy Daniels as 'Peggy Peterson.'
The jury's also seeing a side agreement that reveals Daniels to be Peterson, but leaves the aka of Trump as a blank line.

Stormy Daniel's former attorney testifies he texted Nat'l Enquirer editor Dylan Howard when it appeared on election night that Trump was winning:
"What have we done?"
"Oh my god," replied Howard.
"What have we done?"
"Oh my god," replied Howard.

Stormy's ex-lawyer tells the jury Michael Cohan was 'frantic' as her story circulated, and as she prepared to appear on the Jimmy Kimmel show, after Trump's first State of the Union speech. The jury is reminded here that Trump was president at the time.
11:22 AM - May 02, 2024
The cross-examination of lawyer Keith Davidson has turned hostile, as Trump's team tries to discredit him.
Trump lawyer Emil Bove told Davidson he's "not here to play lawyer games."
You are "getting truthful answers, SIR," replied Davidson. (Emphasis his.)

Trump's criminal trial is again underway in New York. Back on the stand is a prosecutor who played for the jury a 2018 recording in which Trump and Michael Cohen discuss the hush money.

Judge Merchan has called out Trump for incorrectly telling reporters yesterday that the gag order prevents him from testifying.
It isn't clear whether Trump was lying or truly ignorant about the gag order.

Lawyers on both sides are arguing over evidence involving the Access H'wood 'grab em' recording. That would indicate we're about to hear testimony from former Trump spokesperson Hope Hicks, who assisted in the alleged coverup.

With questions mired in tech detail, the jury seems to have lost interest in the current line of testimony. Reporters have described it as time-killing, for the purpose of time-killing.

Once the prosecution finished its final questions of the digital expert, Trump nudged his lawyer, and gestured that he should get up and ask more questions.
But questioning was over & the witness stepped down.
Trump apparently doesn't yet understand the pattern of questioning.

Prosecutors have called to the stand witness #8 --one of their own paralegals, whose job it was to review Trump's Twitter account.
10:48 AM - May 03, 2024
After a short break for the jury, more testimony from the paralegal who reviewed Trump's tweets.
The jury will see a number of those tweets and read more about that Access Hollywood 'grab em' recording.

The jury in Trump's criminal trial has now seen a tweet he posted the day after being hit with federal charges of trying to overturn the 2020 election. The all-caps tweet read, "YOU GO AFTER ME, I'M COMING AFTER YOU."
Former Trump spokesperson Hope Hicks is called to the stand.

Hope Hicks--once considered the closest Trump confidant and access point--has taken the stand, visibly nervous. She acknowledged this to the court.
She entered the courtroom looking straight ahead, avoiding eye contact with Trump as he smiled at her.
