Renee Good was apparently alive with a pulse for at least 8 minutes, 34 seconds.
George Floyd was kneeled on by Derek Chauvin for 9 minutes, 29 seconds (and it was originally reported as 8 minutes, 46 seconds.)
Considering they happened less than a mile apart, just yet another eerie similarity.

Imagine a girl wins a race.
If a rival thinks they should have won, the rival can accuse the girl of being a boy.
The winning girl would then need to have her genitals inspected to “prove” she’s a girl.
Otherwise the loser wins by technicality.
So much talk about fairness. But how is that fair?

Trump says “men in women’s sports” (whatever that means - trans women are women) almost every time he breathes.
But why is it so rare for the pedophile protector party to be asked why they support forcing men into girls’ underwear?

Four years ago, Virginia Democrats decided to go on Christmas break instead of codifying abortion rights before Glenn Youngkin took over.
Now that Youngkin is gone, they moved ahead on abortion rights with more proper urgency, passing it on Day 1.

Anthony can see into the future. His column from last month for @ms.now aged like a fine wine.
My new @ms.now now column makes the case that "Kavanaugh stops" and the Trump admin's lawlessness and perpetual chaos have already turned America into a "papers, please" society.
