New: Donald Trump’s lawyer demanded that Mother Jones destroy this video. Here it is. bit.ly/3lnMSn8
This 13-minute hot-mic video shows Trump in the wild, figuring out how to contend with a judge who he believed was not on his side (perhaps with the use of a racist attack) and bragging about pressuring a group that had given his business a low rating. bit.ly/2YF3WLG
“I wanted to get this out before the election so people better understand how Trump behaves behind the scenes," says Art Cohen, the lead plaintiff in one of two Trump University class-action lawsuits, who gave a copy of this recording to Mother Jones. bit.ly/2YF3WLG
"With 20/20 vision, we now have the opportunity to better understand his true nature and the gangster persona he shows in this video.”

Watch the recording Trump's lawyer didn't want you to see, and demanded that we destroy, here. bit.ly/2YF3WLG

1/ New York state Attorney General Letitia James just sued to dissolve the NRA for financial misconduct. We've been covering the group's operations for years. Here’s what we’ve dug up.
2/ First up, the NRA's top lawyer for decades once was arrested for murder, then freed over bad police work. bit.ly/3fyeyl5
3/ The NRA has historically lobbied for laws that fail Black gun owners. bit.ly/3fy97CY

1/ Is there a way to massively reduce shootings without ramping up the number of cops and arrests?

Yes, there is. And a unique program in Oakland has shown how it’s done. (Thread.)
2/ In recent years, Oakland has cut shootings in HALF—not by arresting more people, but by investing in social services and helping people build relationships with others in their community. bit.ly/3k17z7Z
3/ Just look at these charts. Here’s how homicide numbers have changed in Oakland over the last 8-9ish years compared to a few other major cities, according to @GiffordsCourage. bit.ly/31cMbUK

1/ Have you ever wondered where “Ole Miss” comes from? We dug up the history.

It’s another case of white supremacy hiding in the nooks and crannies of our language. (Thread.)
2/ First, a little context. The University of Mississippi—known almost exclusively as “Ole Miss”—was founded in 1848 as an institution for slaveholder sons. It was created in part to keep students from studying in the north, where they might have picked up anti-slavery ideology.
3/ For a long time, the university only admitted white students. It did not accept its first Black student, James Meredith, until 1962, and Meredith’s acceptance came only after a lengthy legal battle. Violent protests ensued; two died and some 300 more were injured.
