2024 marks 30 years since the genocides against the Tutsi in #Rwanda.
In 100 days in 1994 approximately 1 million Tutsis and moderate Hutus were murdered. The genocide took place following decades of tensions and a recent history of persecution and discrimination against Tutsis.
The world largest displacement is happening in real time in 🇸🇩.
4.3 million are internally displaced due to genocide.
1.1 million are refugees.
The world is silent.

BREAKING: The media cares more about how President Biden walks to Marine One than they do that Trump was threatening to execute people when he was President. I find that ridiculous.
President Biden describes the importance of family and his experience dealing with loss on Howard Stern: “There are a lot of heroes out there that dealt with what I've dealt with and more without the family I have, without support. I know there are thousands of heroes who get up…
I’m not saying I agree with Biden on those (or many) issues, but those things are not even remotely equivalent.
Watching Barr twist himself into a pretzel to defend Trump’s disgraceful disruption of 200 years of peaceful transfer of power was embarrassing.
Justice Alito suggested this week that holding presidents accountable for their crimes could encourage them to commit more crimes to stay in power and avoid prosecution!
If the Court embraces this masochistic Trumpian nonsense, they should move their chambers over to the RNC HQ.
Howard Stern lists off some of President Biden’s accomplishments as they conclude their interview: I want to thank you for your compassion. We're lucky to have you in the Oval Office. I want to thank you for providing a calming influence and an organized administration post-COVID
ICYMI: I wrote about the Supreme Court's delaying tactic to help Trump get away with crimes and no one else. *Many people are saying*... that it's on freaking point. :)

As the Supreme Court weighs Trump's immunity for his role on Jan. 6, a reminder: Ginni Thomas helped lead the 'Stop the Steal' campaign to overturn the 2020 election and attended Trump's Jan. 6 rally.
Clarence Thomas has not recused himself from the case.
A lead organizer of the deceptively “peaceful” protest at Columbia University is seen proudly asserting that Zionists (i.e. most Jews) “don’t deserve to live.”
Remember those words whenever you find yourself being gaslit about “the very fine people” of the encampment movement.
POTUS has no official role in the 1/6 count. When a candidate pressures/threatens the President of the Senate (Pence), pressures and lobbies state legislatures & members of Congress, and oversees a fraudulent elector scheme, his acts are private. And plotting to appoint an AG in…
The fact that Americans might not hear this case before the 2024 election, and possibly never if Trump wins, is alarming.
And to think it could’ve all been avoided if Senate R’s had the courage to convict (& disqualify) Trump or if Merrick Garland hadn’t been dragging his feet.
Based on what we heard today from SCOTUS, it sure feels that Trump may skate past the election without standing trial on the federal 1/6 charges.
If so, NYC trial is likely the only he'll face pre-November.
Under the circumstances, it's the best scenario he could hope have hoped…
Jack Smith is prosecuting 2 cases:
1) a coup against US which over 1,000 have already been found guilty
2) theft of America's secrets
Both are grave, serious betrayal of America crimes. Neither is particularly complicated.
Delay is a profound injustice.

Trump LOSES his bid for a new trial or a judgment overturning the more than $80 million verdict for E. Jean Carroll in the second trial.
