I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

… “do u remember Donald Trump’s killing spree”, a perfectly appropriate response to that from any normal person would be: you gotta be more specific And it’s a testament to the horror of trump 2.0 that somehow term 2 is not just generally worse but markedly so

“Lynching” in the US is not a singular phenomenon. The lynching you are describing is a “racial terror” lynching. There were “public spectacle lynchings,” which have elements of the former but are not identical. There are also “legal lynchings” which were the summary use of capital punishment.

NEWS: Governor Kathy Huchol of NY appoints the state attorney general Leticia James special prosecutor in the Cornell rape case, effectively removing the local DA. Hochul cites “serious questions” about the Cornell PD’s initial investigation and the DA’s earlier decision not to prosecute.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2026
STATEMENT FROM GOVERNOR KATHY HOCHUL ON CORNELL UNIVERSITY SEXUAL ASSAULT CASE
Newly released information continues to raise serious questions about the investigation conducted by the Cornell Police Department and the decision by the Tompkins County District Attorney  not to prosecute an alleged sexual assault on Cornell University's campus in October 2024. This has, in turn, undercut my faith, and the public's faith, in the District Attorney's ability to effectively investigate and prosecute the case at this time.
For this reason, I have issued an executive order appointing Attorney General James as special prosecutor in this case.
As special prosecutor, the Attorney General will investigate this incident and, if warranted, prosecute any offenses arising from that investigation and present evidence to a grand jury. 
The young woman at the center of this case deserves to know that every fact will be examined and justice pursued. This action will ensure that the matter is fully and thoroughly investigated without conflict or bias, and handled independently

Cornell University police in 2024 summarized hours of interviews with a woman who said she was attacked in the Chi Phi fraternity house into a document that excluded her unequivocal statement that she had been raped, documents show. A prosecutor did not pursue criminal charges based on the document.

Statement Written by Police in Cornell Assault Case Omitted Her Claim She Was Raped
Documents obtained by The New York Times show that the campus police at Cornell University sent a condensed statement to a prosecutor, who then declined to bring charges.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

The death penalty is a moral abomination. State-sanctioned barbarism pushed by incompetent morons and sanctioned by the Supreme Court. Absolute ghoul shit. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
The lone woman on Tennessee's death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said
"executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike "has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat," and that curtains to the death chamber "have gone down twice."
