Easily the most devastating 48 hours of the last 5 yrs. I spent the night on the phone calling every contact I had in MN, trying to find Diamond Reynolds, then got on a.m. flight to St. Paul (the only time I’ve flown Spirit Air).
The focus & energy of the local activists was so inspiring. Out in full force, clear and steady. Will never forget it.
The courage of Diamond Reynolds, the innocent love of her daughter and the generous spirit of #PhilandoCastile cannot be forgotten. We fight on for them, for Mr. Sterling. #TerenceCrutcher, #EricGarner, and so many others.

On July 4th 1992 the ⁦@ConstitutionCtr⁩ conferred the Liberty Medal on Justice Thurgood Marshall. The acceptance speech he delivered to “a Nation..of division,” speaks powerfully to our current moment. I commend it to you today. #July4th constitutioncenter.org/liberty-medal/…
“Democracy cannot flourish amid fear. Liberty cannot bloom amid hate.” - Justice Thurgood Marshall upon receiving the Liberty Medal from the @ConstitutionCtr in 1992.

This telephone conference with the judge and the lawyers in the Census case is unreal. drive.google.com/file/d/1M3Y6vj…
A DOJ atty of 16 years has to make this representation to the court:
“This is a very fluid situation which we are trying to get our arms around.” Geez.

To summarize, terrible disappointment in the partisan gerrymandering case. The implications for our democracy are seismic. As Justice Kagan said, "Of all the times to abandon the Court's duty to declare the law, this was not the one." supremecourt.gov/opinions/18pdf…
Good decision in the Census case. 5-4 Court finds that Secy Ross's rationale for why he added the citizenship question is a pretext and "seems to have been contrived." Upholds the district court, remands back to the agency. supremecourt.gov/opinions/18pdf…
Remanded back to the agency but the time is short for Ross to remake a rationale for the question, and the Maryland case looms in which the plaintiffs now have smoking gun evidence of racial discrimination as the basis for adding the question. Census forms to be printed in Oct.

#OpportunityZones is the largest community development initiative in a generation. However, size isn't the program’s only strength; it is the flexibility of this policy that makes it a potential game changer for communities.
The low-income communities that comprise OZs have a wide range of needs. #OpportunityZones offer communities an adaptive tool to support their own local approach to economic development. Some examples illustrate the opportunity and impact:
In East Chicago, a 225-acre contaminated brownfield was thought to be too expensive to restore but with an #OpportunityZones designation, it’s now being converted to a logistics center and is expected to support as many as 3,000 jobs. nwitimes.com/business/local…

Last night I was attacked by a person who has been diligently trying to find answers to JFK Jr being alive. Hes been at this right at the start of the R-Post. He's been at this a few months longer than I have.

Though I respect his work, I have not agreed with his methods. ...
… I do not believe Q is using augmented Gematria for decodes. I believe the Gematria is primarily three methods (Modern English, Pythagorean and Chaldean. I have also gotten interesting numbers from Reverse Full Reduction.

This guy uses an iPhone to translate punctuation ...
and spaces into values in his Gematria. I'm not going to say he's wrong, but I personally disagree with that method. This is the first time I have voiced this disagreement. Many of his decodes, I dont understand and he is very scant in explaining. So the attack was based ...

New report on Russian disinformation, prepared for the Senate shows the operation’s scale & sweep washingtonpost.com/technology/201… A report prepared for the Senate that provides the most sweeping analysis yet of Russia’s disinformation campaign around the 2016 election found the operation
used every major social media platform to deliver words, images and videos tailored to voters’ interests to help elect President Trump — & worked even harder to support him while in office.

The report, a draft of which was obtained by The Washington Post, is the first to study
the millions of posts provided by major technology firms to the Senate Intelligence Committee, led by Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), its chairman, and Sen. Mark Warner (Va.), its ranking Democrat. The bipartisan panel hasn’t said whether it endorses the findings. It plans to release

Omega prince Jimin is the prettiest omega in royalty who has tons of suitors, but none have managed to steal his heart.

His personal body guard, Alpha Min Yoongi has one motto :

"If they want to get the fairest, they have to go through the fiercest."

- if you spot any similarities with other works, it is by pure coincidence as im not some bitch who steals the fruit of other's hard work.

"YOOOOOONGIIIIIII-" Jimin grinned when he heard the sound of rapid footsteps came nearer and nearer.

An alpha in his usual dark suit appeared in the doorway of Jimin's grand luxurious room. "WHAT- WHO- DID SOMEBODY HURT YOU?" He was almost out of breath since he
