I've shared on here before, why more cops do not and cannot reduce the murder rate in US cities.
I've shared that criminal justice reformers have known what does work, and has worked in dozens of US cities. It's now driving record low homicide in Chicago and Baltimore♥️🕊️

In 1925, the all-Black Wichita Monrovians beat the KKK’s baseball team 10–8—a small but undeniable crack in the lie of white supremacy. Frederic J. Frommer tells the story.

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it.
Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators.
Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

You know Trump is going to lie when confronted with this.
As more and more comes out, and it will, Trump will be boxed into a corner.
He can shoot someone on 5th Ave, but child sex trafficking is another matter.

If you like whipped shea butters, check out my girl! Black owned, based out of GA. I’ve been using her for over five years now.
They’re creamy and I love the scents, they’re not overly heavy which I appreciate.

The answer Sen, Shaheen is that since America elected the Black man to be president, the official position of the Republican Party is “not to work together with Democrats to address the problems that are facing this country.”

So, will Arizona Rep. Adelita Grijalva be getting immediately sworn in once the Dems cave on this shutdown madness? I sure AF don't trust Mike Johnson and his king's other minions to let that eventual Epstein-files-release-vote leaf flow easily down the river.
