If the 11th Circuit allows her to, I totally expect that Loose Cannon to push his espionage case off for as long as she possibly can, but thankfully he'll hopefully be in jail before long for his crimes of sedition. #DetainPendingTrial

If they can't even disrupt traffic, then the protest has no effect. Justifiable is correct.

In Canada, we have a problem with White Nationalists being able to completely disrupt cross-border traffic, trade, and commerce to spread hate speech, with the backing of local police, while they make it illegal for Indigenous people to block passage of for-profit private oil corporations from crossing their land for the sole purpose of ravaging more land for private profit. #cdnpoli

Time to send in the Marines. It seems that #Abbott has officially seceded from the Union and placed himself at the head of the Republic of Texas. He doesn't seem to understand that the Rio Grande is the border between the United States and Mexico, not between the Republic of Texas and Mexico. We have reached the point where *our* border region will have to be defended against the sadistic #Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas Rangers. Cut off ALL federal aid to the state.

Texas sued over plan to deploy floating barrier on Rio Grande to curb border crossings

(CNN) - The owner of a Texas canoe and kayaking company filed a lawsuit on Friday seeking to stop the installation of a marine floating barrier on the Rio Grande, claiming Gov. Greg Abbott has no right to regulate the border.

The lawsuit was filed on the same day that Texas started deploying buoys for the barrier in an attempt to deter migrant crossings on the river along the US-Mexico border.

The suit lists the state of Texas and Abbott, as well as the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas National Guard. CNN has reached out to Abbott’s office for comment.

“Our lawsuit seeks to protect communities on the Texas-Mexico border from Governor Abbott’s misleading politics,” said attorney Carlos Flores, who represents plaintiff Jessie Fuentes, the owner of Epi’s Canoe...

I didn’t know that two months after Kent State, Lawrence, KS police killed two KU students amid protests, and covered up their involvement. https://blogs.lib.ku.edu/spencer/recent-acquisition-the-facts-behind-the-1970-police-shooting-of-a-ku-student/

Netanyahu and his cronies are going to do to Israel what all the Arab countries and their supporters were unable to do to Israel for all these years.

The MAGAs screaming "stop making everything about race" just repealed affirmative action, claim slavery benefitted Black people, ordered drowning of brown migrant kids, defied a SCOTUS redistricting order, & threatened to sue Fortune 100 companies for "anti-white" discrimination.

Hey if slavery is so great, why doesn't Desantis enslave white folks? His kids should be slaves right? Why wouldn't they want to be slaves? They should be be lining up.

I should have thought of that. 😂

This kind of racism is on the rise and must be stopped. The racists are the minority, but if the majority doesn't shut them down, they will gain enough power to destroy America.

“When I first became mayor, [a white woman told me] the town was not ready for a Black mayor,” Braxton recalls.

The town is 85% Black, and 29% of Black people here live below the poverty line.

1/5 black people in Florida have been convicted of "a felony"-- (we should talk about how this alone is absurd.)

At one time having a felony on your record would make you ineligible to vote.

The people of Florida passed a law saying that felons who served their time could vote.

Ron DeSantis decided if there were any unpaid fines, they could be *sent to prison* for voting. It's hard to find out if you have any unpaid fines.

This is just Jim Crow all over again.

Have improved my response to the "are you a boy or a girl" question that kids often ask me.

Yesterday I was cycling over Thessins Bridge and had to slow down to navigate my way through a group of pre teens with skateboards.

They were a lively group, a bit raggedy, possibly from the nearby informal settlement. With an appealing punk energy.

One of them asked me, and I responded "I'm not sure. What do you think?" and I saw that moment of surprise that meant I might have introduced a new idea there.
