Seriously, Judges *do no do things like this*

They don't give their opinion to the media

They don't criticize how SCOTUS works

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

While what is said below is generally true there are no new buildings being built for the Olympics. It was one of the benefits of LA hosting the Olympics; we had the buildings & the transportation infrastructure was already on deck but yes gentrification usually displaces lots of black & brown folks

NEW STUDY

Since I was born, 500 Black neighborhoods have vanished

And 500,000 Black people have been lost

All due to urban revitalization projects

Like the one for LA’s new coliseum — for the Clippers and ‘26 Olympics — that’s destroying Inglewood

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?

They’re gutting civil servants, blaming Democrats, and cashing in while the rest of us pay the price. This rogue regime doesn’t care about any of us—not even their own base. The Grifter-in-Chief keeps looting.

Wake up, y’all—before there’s nothing left to save.
