Who’s awake and why?

Me: for the pomp and circumstance.

2:30 AM watching from LA.
Coffee with my homemade scone. I remembered the clotted cream.

Apologies…not a tea drinker.

Apparently a royal F up has occurred. William and Kate are late, while King Charles and Camilla are early. Oops. #Coronation
The order of service, if anyone wants to follow along or know what’s coming. #Coronation

If the LAFD was late to your 911 emergency fire call it could have been because a firefighter made off with a LAFD cellphone, used it to solicit a prostitute while on duty, then abandoned his dispatch, drove to a hotel near LAX & had sex with her before returning to work. Image
Or maybe it was that time an L.A. firefighter drove with a blood alcohol level nearly 2½ times the legal limit, resisted arrest and committed battery on a cop.

Or maybe it was when an LAFD captain was busy kicking a homeless man in the head with his steel-toe boot while the man was lying motionless.

All true incidents and none of them resulting in termination. In fact, disciplinary procedures dragged on for so long that some… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

🧵Election season is coming so let’s chat about candidate donations. The ones we’re led to believe are for the candidates.

I’ll use @Disrupt_Corrupt as an example. Check out this post (screenshot). At first glance, it looks as though if you donate money it will go back to the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Disrupt pumps out tons of Tweets for different candidates. The Tweets state something compelling about the candidate and an ask for a contribution. If you go to the FEC filing (more on that in the 🧵), you’ll see that none or little of that money goes to the candidate. If you’re… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImageImageImage
If you hit the ActBlue link on their tweets, you can see donations go to Disrupt (left), not the candidate (right) from the candidate’s Twitter profile ActBlue link).

🧵 People who spread the notion that trans is a choice are actually spreading hate. People who try to silence trans voices are enacting in hateful conduct.

I’m having trouble understanding why some are so hateful to the trans community when they are harming no one.

My sister had a dear friend who was murdered years ago. In Hollywood CA. She was trans.

My sister was heartbroken & shared her story with me. She told me that she honors her birthday even after death. Her murder was never solved & we believe that the police didn’t really try… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
This was before I was trans aware. But I still felt the heartbreak to my soul.

I have since educated myself & learned that some men who have sex with trans women become enraged, followed by abuse and even murder. Because their manhood was threatened? Perhaps that was what… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

🧵 Yesterday, the oppressive HB 1020 bill was signed into law by Mississippi Gov Tate Reeves and it will not #SaveMississippi

Should we be thankful that the bill is a “watered down” version of the original attack on democracy? A bill meant to take authority away from the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Should we be thankful that the judges appointed by the Chief Justice, instead of being put to a vote by the people, will be for a set period of time (through 2026) instead of the originally planed lifetime appointment?

Should we be thankful that those convicted of misdemeanors will be sent to prison instead of serving time at local jails?

Should we be thankful that police protection paid for by all tax dollars will be concentrated in the whitest wealthiest part of Jackson while further… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

🧵 Jackson Mississippi’s lead poisoning is worse than Flint’s! And the boil water notices are compounding the problem.
#SaveMississippi

“We were blown away to learn that the levels in Jackson & the homes that were likely affected in Jackson were more than what it was in Flint”… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Making matters worse, the boil water notices Jackson residents have been following, due to the separate water contamination issue, are making the problem worse.

A practice that does not remove lead from water, but instead concentrates it.
#SaveMississippi Image
Jackson Mississippi’s residents are victims of unchecked lead poisoning and they’re suing.
