\nQuote – [His attorney, Carlos] Moore compared the incident to the shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery, a Black man who was jogging when three white men, including a father and son, pursued and killed him in Glynn County, Ga., in 2020. \u201cIt\u2019s just sad that it happens. It seems to be a copycat duo copying off the Ahmaud Arbery case. \u2026. They saw this man was a Black man, and they just hauled off and shot at him multiple times, at least the younger son did. The older guy tried to entrap him. They were working concertedly to try to entrap and kill this man. I mean, they shot at him several times. It\u2019s amazing that he survived.\u201d

\nQuote: But now American Oversight<\/a> has obtained evidence that Justice Thomas is in regular, direct contact with Florida\u2019s MAGA governor, Ron DeSantis. In a pitch to his scheduling office in June, 2021, Ginni Thomas requested DeSantis\u2019 attendance at one of her \u201ccoalition\u201d meetings, saying:\u00a0 “Gov. DeSantis will be acquainted with me, as I video-interviewed him for a Leader series with Daily Caller years ago when he served in Congress, saw him at a state dinner in the Trump White House and my husband has been in contact with him too on various things of late.”
\n<\/strong>Click thrugh.<\/a> This is what happens when a nation takes it for granted the its Supreme Court Justices will not be out-and-out gangsters, because the mostly haven’t been. But now they are. And our hands are tied. Unless we can get a strong<\/strong> majority in both Houses and the Presidency, the future is looking bleak.<\/p>\n
\nQuote – Throughout 1919, more than four million workers went on strike. Big business came up with a plan it would use for decades… To divide workers along RACE. That same year, race riots broke out across 25 cities in what would become known as THE RED SUMMER.
