Clarence Thomas attacks Brown v. Board ruling amid 70th anniversary

I believe the term you are thinking is "Uncle Tom" but it might also be "traitor" or "closet nazi" -- you tell me.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas issued a strong rebuke of the Brown v. Board of Education ruling on Thursday, suggesting the court overreached its authority in the landmark decision that banned separating schoolchildren by race.

I am hearing conflicting opinions on and her testimony at the trial.

Some are saying it was very bad for trump while others are saying she bolstered the story that he did the payoff to only keep his family from finding out.

Opinions? Links?

I don't think anyone disputes that #michaelcohen was Trump's attorney at the time #trump reported the hush money reimbursement to Choen as legal expenses.

It was the cover-up that was illegal. The books were cooked to protect the 2016 campaign.

@kbsez This is very unfortunate but I believe it is likely my fault.

I really enjoyed the series, so of course it has to be removed. :blobcatlaugh:

BLACK-OWNED CHILDREN'S BOOKSTORE IN RALEIGH MOVING AFTER THREATS, OWNER SAYS

Liberation Station Bookstore, North Carolina's first Black-owned children's bookstore, is moving out of downtown Raleigh less than a year after it opened.

Geez. I think to myself "of course it's North Carolina..."

"Since September, we’ve faced numerous threats following the opening of our store," Scott-Miller wrote.

This one hits hard. The amazing Joe Flaherty has passed away at 82.

Joe's work on SCTV and all his appearances in film and TV over years are classics.

Jeffrey Epstein's Island Visitors Exposed by Data Broker

A @WIRED investigation uncovered coordinates collected by a controversial data broker that reveal sensitive information about visitors to an island once owned by Epstein, the notorious sex offender.

This article doesn't name names but the implication is that it's not a leap to get them or that they do have them but just not saying.

@kbsez @WIRED Holy Crap, this entire article sends chills down my spine. Not just for what Epstein did (which is evil and horrible) but this quote:

“The pervasive surveillance machine that has been developed for digital advertising now enables other uses completely unrelated to marketing, including government mass surveillance”

@cwoodruff @WIRED

Read Cory Doctorow's ( @pluralistic ) book Attack Surface (Little Brother Series #3) and when he details how much data is captured with cell towers and how many facilities have their own cell towers it's amazing to me that more of the January 6th attackers / rioters / traitors haven't been captured just from that data alone.

(the whole series is a must read for everyone especially any young technology users in your life)

TRUMP SEEKS TO POST $100 MILLION BOND IN FRAUD APPEAL, FRACTION OF TOTAL JUDGEMENT

My favorite line of this story:

To secure a “complete” appeal bond — which could cost more than $550 million — would be “impossible,” the defense lawyers wrote in a court filing

LOL! "Impossible" for mr multi-billionaire. LOL!

Better start selling more sneakers that don't exist.

Oh, and the 30 days is up in the #EJeanCarroll case soon
