WHY let spy balloon in our space? 1) It was 18.5 miles up, almost in space. 2) it sends data link to PRC. We can intercept that & learn what China knows. We can jam it so they see nothing new. 3) The collection system is ours & can reconstruct it.They lose asset & we win spy game

I need so many people to understand this regarding Tyre Nichols. Several of the police officers who murdered Freddie Gray were Black. The entire system of policing is based on white supremacist violence. We see people under the boot of oppression carry its water all the time.

Diversifying the police force doesn’t end racism because racism is inherent to the organization of the institution & its daily operation. Racism is what policing is

The Church of England admitted it invested in the slave trade to help amass its $12 billion fortune. It invested millions in today's money in a company that transported over 40,000 enslaved African people. It says it will donate £100M (1% its fortune) to "address past wrongs."
