Will five, conservative, right-wing, white male justices, and one corrupt, honorary, pseudo-white justice on the U.S. Supreme Court rule that an ultra-right, white male president may commit criminal acts to stay in office, even though he was defeated in a free and fair national election? STAY TUNED!

Racism is as racism does: Right?
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Today is not Sunday, but Earth Day. This is the time of year when humankind is reminded of how much we have damaged our planet by over polluting, overpopulating, overexploiting and overlording it over the natural world, animals and other human beings with whom we share our earthly existence. Repent!

The traditional Passover greeting of "Chag Pesach Sameach!" is tinged today with fear, sadness and sorrow. Israelis are fighting enemies, foreign and domestic. Hamas terrorists hold hostages in Gaza who were kidnapped during the October 7 attack. American and European Jews face rising antisemitism.

Re: the targeted 5:
I listened to the 911 audio tape and the police couldn’t find the location of the location in the park. They drove round and round. There was also an unrelated fire in the park at the same time. The DA was pressured by Trump’s PR frenzy and framed those young me

Caryl D @Ca_DreIt is more insidious. I did a paper in school on the case. Trump spent over $80,000 in newspaper ads against the 5 because he had just finished renovating newly purchased tourist venues in the park and his Plaza Hotel was on the edge of the park (perceived safety=revenue) see references08:26 AM - Apr 19, 2024

“The scariest part of a late night earthquake wasn’t the low #rumble that made standing under a doorway unsteady, but the sound of cracking drywall and straining joists and crashing knickknacks. When it finally ended, the silence was pierced by sad car alarms and barking dogs.”

Kudos to CNN's Laura Coates, Esq. Once again, she establishes her bona fides as a brilliant lawyer, a phenomenal broadcast journalist and an excellent observer. With steely resolve, she gave eyewitness testimony to the tragedy that occurred once it was announced the Trump Trial jury was set for now.
