Wrap02 🌊 You Don’t Own Me! I’m WithHer! @wrap02

Today is the 82nd anniversary of D-Day – the Allied landings in Normandy, which significantly hastened the countdown to the Nazis' collapse in World War II. It is one of the most important moments of unity among the defenders of life in human history, and it was less than a year until the peoples’ aspiration for freedom and the hope of peace prevailed in May 1945. It happened then. We are working to make it happen again today. And although yesterday in Petersburg another cynical order to continue killing was issued for the army trying to destroy our freedom, history has seen this before. The Nazis also had their own hopes after D-Day. But freedom still wins. And even in the darkest circumstances, people find ways to come together to protect life. I thank all those who are now helping to protect the values that prevailed in World War II. I thank everyone who is defending life. Glory to Ukraine!

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began. The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start. Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have. If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

WTF timeline are we on. Someone called me the MAGA whisperer and I’ll gladly take the title. Left, right, D or R we all want the same things. We’re being divided on purpose by the Epstein Elite Oligarch class because as long as we’re at each other’s throats, they get fat and rich off of our misery. The second we figure out we agree on more than we disagree, they’re done. Love your neighbor. Be yourself. Radical honesty. No fucks given, no fucks taken. Everything else is just noise. (But still fuck Jake “Brick Tamland” Tapper on any time line)

266,000 jobs under Biden: “slowed” “muddled expectations” “fell short” 172,000 jobs under trump: “upswing” “vigorous” “strong sign for economy” This is the double standard Dems have had to deal with for the past 10 years.

@chuckhatfield @Newhouse100 Sorry, I see part of the fallacy with the way I worded this question but I can’t figure out how to delete.

@chuckhatfield @Newhouse100 Does the requirement to reduce local sales tax guarantee the locality will receive sufficient replacement State allocations, $ for $? Forever? Can Peter be manipulated to pay Paul by moleg budget?

@chuckhatfield @Newhouse100 True or false - it modifies the Constitution sufficiently to Repeal the Hancock Amendment?

Missouri Court of Appeals just confirmed the summary for Amendment 5 was inaccurate and misleading. They have rewritten it to make sure folks know 5 will increase sales taxes.

The 1972 screwworm epidemic killed 90,000 cattle in Texas after the fly was supposedly contained. It was devastating to Texas Ranchers. Here's a video put out by the USDA about it in 1972.

Deputy thinks an Acorn hitting the roof of his car is gunfire so he unloaded his firearm at his own car that had an unarmed suspect inside. This is next level incompetence. ​The incident took place in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. Deputies from the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call regarding a man named Marquis Jackson. Jackson’s girlfriend had called the police, accusing him of stealing her car and sending her threatening text messages. ​Deputies located Jackson, detained him, handcuffed him behind his back, and placed him in the backseat of a standard patrol vehicle for questioning. ​Deputy Jesse Hernandez, a trainee at the time, was walking back toward the patrol vehicle where Jackson was being held. As he approached the passenger side of the car, a small acorn fell from an overhead tree and struck the roof of the vehicle. ​Because of the metallic thud it made on the roof, Deputy Hernandez misidentified the sound as a muffled gunshot from inside the vehicle. What followed was a massive cascade of panic: ​Hernandez immediately fell to the ground, rolled, and began screaming, "Shots fired! Shots fired! I'm hit! I'm hit!" ​Believing he had been shot in the torso and that Jackson was actively firing at him through the car windows, Hernandez drew his weapon and fired multiple rounds into the patrol car. ​Hearing her partner’s screams and weapon fire, Sergeant Beth Roberts—who was also on the scene—assumed they were under fire. She drew her weapon and also opened fire on the vehicle. ​In total, the two officers fired more than 20 rounds into the patrol car. ​Despite the patrol car being riddled with bullets and shattered glass, Marquis Jackson was completely uninjured. Because he was handcuffed, he could only lean away and press himself as low as possible into the floorboard/seat crack of the vehicle to avoid the gunfire. ​Deputy Hernandez was also not injured. After the dust settled, medical staff confirmed he had not been shot; his belief that he was hit was likely a psychological reaction to intense panic (often referred to as a phantom injury). ​The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office conducted an extensive internal investigation into the shooting. The investigation concluded that Deputy Hernandez’s use of force was not objectively reasonable. While Hernandez genuinely believed he was under threat, the investigation found no evidence of any weapon on Jackson, nor any reasonable justification for mistaking an acorn for a gunshot. Sergeant Roberts' use of force was found to be legally justified under the "fellow officer rule," as she was reacting to what she reasonably believed was her partner being shot. Deputy Hernandez resigned from the sheriff's office during the investigation, effectively ending his career in law enforcement. ​ Sheriff Eric Aden publicly released the bodycam footage and issued a formal apology to Marquis Jackson and the community, stating that the department failed in its duty to protect a suspect in their custody. ​Ultimately, Jackson was cleared of any wrongdoing regarding the shooting, and the event remains a textbook example used in law enforcement training regarding hyper-vigilance and the dangers of misinterpreting sensory input during high-stress situations.

It's one thing when you have a new member of law enforcement that might be confused on the laws and the rights of citizens. They can be educated to correct those errors, however it's a whole different ball game when you have actually attorneys and judges with that same level of

I’m sick of Trumpsters citing “ongoing litigation” as a way to dodge congressional oversight.

ABC and CBS paid Trump. NBC gave to his ballroom. Scott Pelley took a stand and was fired. CNN is next. Trump sued me. I fought and won. Democracy Docket is fearlessly independent and always pro-democracy. Help it grow by subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
