This internet on this flight won’t let me be great as I attempt to read this report, BUT let me break a few things down about the difference between Trump’s charges & President Biden’s exoneration regarding the criminality surrounding his handling of classified documents: 🧵 1) let’s say you have two kids that walk into a candy store. Both are allowed to be there as it’s open to the public. One picks up some candy while in the store and it’s allowable, puts some in the cart & some is just in his hand. He walks out when his mom calls him. He puts the cart down because he doesn’t have time to pay but forgets say, the gum in his hand. The clerk comes out and tells him, hey you didn’t pay for that. The kid apologizes and immediately returns the gum. Now, scenario two… this kid knows that he has taken the gum and gets caught, but now hides the gum in between his butt cheeks in his underpants and tells his friends to erase the tapes showing that he ever had the gum, he stuffed the gum and everything he had in the cart into his pants and when asked says oh no, nothing to see here. When they go to his home and execute a warrant over a year later or so, he’s got even more than they knew. He’d been taking stuff outta that store for years and kept lying about it.

This is a statement from two of the people who wrote Florida's new education standards on slavery. In it they give several names of people to exemplify slaves who learned skills they applied later in life. Let's go through the supposed truth of this list one by one.
Want the truth on Florida’s African American History Standards? See statement below from experts who crafted them. “Any attempt to reduce slaves to just victims of oppression fails to recognize their strength, courage and resiliency during a difficult time in American history.”
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This list is supposedly of enslaved people who "developed ... trades from which they benefitted" but nearly all of these people were either never enslaved, or never held the jobs described on the list. Some examples: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ned_Cobb en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_How… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_For… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_W… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty_Was… Here is a summary of the errors on the list: twitter.com/etotheipie/sta…

Really sad when a conservative feels so excluded, he can't even get 14 words in edgewise

The English had themselves a nice little civil war and got rid of the monarchy by reducing King Charles I to just the head of state, as it were, but then the fools brought it right back. Cromwell did a great deal of wrong, but he knew how to deal with royalty. #Coronation2023

The WGA negotiations document is absolutely wild. It’s like “the WGA requested a 45% wage increase as well as healthcare and a decent pension plan and the studios counter offered with $4 and a greeting card that said ‘being broke is a disease, get well soon❤️” #WGAstrong

Mariupol. Almost half a million people once lived there. And now there are almost no intact houses left. The 🇷🇺 terrorist state did everything to kill this city. Over 90% of Mariupol is destroyed.

What’s going to topple this site isn’t that the floating layer of blue-check sputum is full of MAGAs, crypto scammers, and sycophants—they can at least generate rage-engagement. It’s that it’s all BORING—insipid nonsense blips less interesting than a cat walking on a keyboard.

What Elon doesn't understand about his "$8/month for herpes" offer is that nobody's hung up on the cost, the big issue is the herpes
