@IveyJanette When we moved to places with no Black people, I learned to do my own hair - be it relaxing, a cut, whatever.

I don' want to eat lunch, I want to go home. shit. So, I just kept doing it myself. I still do. I cut my hair last weekend. @DaNanner

Trump supporters post names and addresses of Georgia grand jurors online
A fringe website featured the purported names and addresses of the Fulton County grand jury that indicted Trump and 18 others for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

We need a domestic terrorism law.

The Georgia Indictment Speaks to History
Now, thanks to Ms. Willis, Ms. Freeman’s story will reach a jury and the judgment of history, and the record will show precisely who inflicted the damage to her and to the country.
Text messages, a whistleblower lawsuit and an internal investigation reveal the lengths to which Medtronic, the world’s largest medical device company, allegedly “groomed” doctors to overuse its vascular products in patients at a veterans’ hospital.

Here is another story about West Virginia University. It is a canary in the coal mine (although arguably it is like the 10th canary to die…..)
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
