happy #JuneTeenth from all the Americans who don't get a special federal holiday!
the 4th of July used to be for ALL of us, despite our ugly past.
one Nation, under God
amirite?
American Indians are basically incarcerated on the Rez. they aren't "aspiring rappers" and they don't get athletic scholarships. they don't burn cities. they don't kill outside their race. they aren't elevated bc of their race.
my distrust of media goes back decades, and I'm still at the same dead end: wut do?
I majored in communications (partly bc it was an easy route to a degree, but also bc I loved writing and journalism.) Even in the early 90s, I saw the corruption and lack of recourse for said corruption, so I went another route post graduation.
at issue is the abject failure of congress – they will never pass legislation to reign in our Fake News Media.
( -_-)ノ°let's talk about my stupid governor. @GovKemp said yesterday re asymptomatic transmission "…individuals could have been infecting people before they ever felt bad, but we didn't know that until the last 24 hours."
GDPH commissioner, Dr. Toomey backed him up. #COVID19
Gov Kemp and Dr. Kathleen Toomey claim the CDC and Dr. Deborah Birx revealed game-changing new information Tuesday, 3/31.
what really happened is CDC Director Redfield made this well-known by everyone info more official in a 3/30 interview and in the CDC 4/1 MMWR.
Gov Kemp is an absolute tool. when asked to comment on a prediction of 80% infection rate, Toomey made a salad and Kemp aw golly shucks'd his condescending reply… in which he touted the very experts he WASN'T EVEN LISTENING TO nearly as closely as literally everyone everywhere.
LA man found with missing 13 yr old girl was released from jail as new SF DA, Chesa Boudin, was sworn in.
King John Baylon was facing 18 felonies including possession of child pornography, using a minor for sex acts, and kidnapping for child molestation. sfist.com/2020/01/08/l-a…
The teen girl, a Fort Bragg resident, was reported missing from UCSF’s Mission Bay campus where a family member was receiving treatment at the Pediatric Diabetes Clinic.
She was located 2 days later at the Ferry Building on The Embarcadero along with 22 yr old King John Baylon.
kudos to all involved.👏🏻 outstanding effort by several organizations, individuals, and intuitions working across many platforms to rescue the girl and catch the bad guy.
(and DA's office let him go 🤬)
