ME! I am people.

There was this girl that met me when I was gone off this one night and she’d always talk about how much she loved me every time I ran into her but I didn’t remember her at all

There are a lot of people who are glad camera phones didn’t exist specifically because of this drink.

PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police.

Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.

And the solution the country landed on, was to give them more money.

Thank You for Your Attention to This Matter @thewriteverdict.bsky.social · 4d

This is the thing - D mayors and governors can't control their law enforcement. We've seen cops refuse to work in cities that elected Black men as mayors - Cleveland and Chicago for instance. They are not afraid to assert their independence when they don't like the person elected. Massive problem.

It’s amazing to me personally. Dems had the White House and Congress after being elected fresh on the heels of the largest protests against policing in history and hit our asses with “fund the police” lol
