Ida Wells was born enslaved but refused to live in fear. She wielded the power of the press to expose America’s greatest terror—lynching. When the truth made her a target, she didn’t back down. She co-founded the NAACP, fought for Black women’s voting rights, and left a legacy of resistance!

So I am to believe that Trump's top priority right now is filling low-level legal roles in his administration, AND he needed to talk to Alito specifically about this one, AND neither man said ANYTHING else in a private call of which there is no record, got it, great abcnews.go.com/US/trump-spe...

Very thankful for the hard work of the firefighters under terrible conditions, and for the firefighters coming in now from out of state.

They evacuated Santa Monica which is not some nestled-away-in-the-mountains richie rich enclave. It's a regular ass neighborhood with regular ass people and businesses etc.
It's insane. And there's no end in sight.

People outside of LA truly don’t understand how apocalyptic this is. It’s worse than it’s ever been. Entire residential neighborhoods are burning to the ground.

Water is becoming a major issue in the Southern California fires.
As crews battled the wildfire in Pacific Palisades, they put so much strain on the water system that the fire hydrants ran dry.
The fires have also fed ash into the water supply, leading to a boil order notice.

This is really damning. NJ State Troopers, unhappy with a report on racial bias incidents, just stopped doing traffic enforcement, and seemingly weren’t on the roads (as evidenced by a vehicle from a fatal hit and run being abandoned for hours before anyone noticed).
For eight months, traffic enforcement citations on New Jersey’s highways plummeted by 81% compared with the year before. The unrivaled reduction is now the subject of a criminal investigation.

After a report found racial bias in traffic enforcement, state troopers were warned by a union leader that “every stop” would be scrutinized. They started making fewer.
