They lynched Allen Brooks—and sold postcards of it. 10,000 watched. Kids cheered. No one was charged. They called it justice. We call it genocide. Now they’re banning books so you never find out. 📚 ERASED tells the truth they fear. Read it before they erase that too: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

Planes were briefly “flying blind” into Newark Liberty International Airport last week after a communications blackout occurred. Sources said the outage lasted 90 seconds on April 28th and shook up the on-duty controllers so much that some were placed on “trauma leave.”

Control Meltdown Left Planes ‘Flying Blind’ at Major Airport
Air traffic controllers lost contact with planes flying into Newark Liberty International Airport last week. A “fried piece of copper wire” may be to blame.

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago. It also received $22M in federal aid. While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

I give up with people.
A selfie-style photograph shows Millie Bobby Brown and a young man, Owen Cooper, smiling at the camera. They appear to be at a Liverpool FC football stadium, as the background shows the red seats of a large, mostly full stadium and a green football pitch. Millie Bobby Brown is on the left side of the frame, and Owen Cooper is slightly behind and to her right. Both are wearing dark-colored jackets and white shirts. Millie Bobby Brown has her dark hair pulled back in braids. Owen Cooper is wearing a dark suit jacket and a black tie. A lanyard with the word "Anfield" is visible around his neck. The lighting suggests it is daytime.
Above the photo is a tweet from the official Liverpool FC account, @LFC, which reads: "Millie Bobby Brown and Owen Cooper here to support the Reds 🤩🔴". Below the tweet are engagement icons for likes (720), retweets (4.1K), quote tweets (183K), and views (20M).
Above the Liverpool FC tweet is another tweet from a user named Tom Nestor (@tomnestorcomic) with the text: "He literally stabbed a 13 year old girl".
Below the image is a tweet from Skylar Skye (@SkylarSkye14) replying to Tom Nestor, stating: "That was in a TV show not real life Tom".

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows: An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them
Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.
