"The way that I live my life is in direct support to black people, including my black family members," Cullors defiantly told former CNN journalist Marc Lamont-Hill on Thursday as outcry over the gap between her stated ideals and her life reached a boiling point.
I see my money as not my own. I see it as my family's money as well.Cullors also sent out a stream of defensive Instagram posts, insisting she did not receive a salary or benefits from Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation - while mentioning nothing about her handsome remuneration for her work as one of the figureheads of the Black Lives Matter movement, the healthy paychecks she has received from book and TV deals, or the speech fees she has pocketed over the last few years. She did not attempt to deny any of the allegations regarding her profligate spending, acknowledging she had "definitely made mistakes" without explaining what those mistakes were.

He began shooting "randomly" almost immediately after exiting his car, according to police. Seven people were also injured and the gunman apparently killed himself before police arrived, officials say. This is the latest incident in a recent increase in mass shootings across the US.
At least four of those killed were members of the Sikh community, according to local media. Gurinder Singh Khalsa, a leader of the local Sikh community, told Reuters news agency that the FedEx facility was known for employing members of the community who did not speak fluent English.
Comment: That reminds us of the mass shooting at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin in 2012, when eyewitnesses reported FOUR gunmen, not 'one lone crazed white guy' as officially reported...
A statement from FedEx chairman and CEO Frederick Smith described the incident as a "senseless act of violence". The statement said:
"First and foremost, I want to express my deepest sympathies to the families, friends, and co-workers of those team members. Our priority now is in responding to the situation on the ground and helping our team members and law enforcement."
Comment: So far reporting on the incident has offered little speculation as to its cause. Was this a set-up, or a deranged individual in reactionary mode?
The FedEx facility employs more than 4,500 people and is the second-largest hub in the company's global network, according to the Indianapolis Star. Scenes from the shooting spree:UPDATE 16/4/2021: The shooter was 'known' to authorities, flagged by a concerned family member:
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Deputy Chief Craig McCartt said earlier in the day that investigators "have an idea" who the shooter is but declined to elaborate. He said the killer died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound as police closed in.
CNN reporter Ana Cabrera said he's no stranger to law enforcement."Authorities were warned about FedEx suspect's potential for violence in the past, sources say. The suspect in the Indianapolis mass shooting was known to federal and local authorities prior to the attack."For the police update video, go here.© Michael Conroy/APA body is taken from the scene where multiple people were shot at a FedEx Ground facility in Indianapolis, Friday, April 16, 2021.

Periodically, we will hear in the news something about the illegal colonies (settlements), but increasingly rarely over the years, and generally without a human face: just numbers and false promises to end the expansion of these colonies choking Palestinians from their land.

The 70-year-old, identified in the media as 'Becky', was exiting a Metro bus on her way to a local supermarket when the attack occurred. According to Becky's son, the female assailant yelled racial slurs at his mother as she beat her.
The victim suffered a broken nose, a concussion, and her face and eyes were left severely swollen. The attacker even pulled hair out of her head. Becky's son provided photos to local media showing the horrific injuries. He claimed that no one tried to intervene as the attacker, whom he described as a "black girl," began hitting his mother on the head. Eventually, a passenger called 911.

Formed by 'Never Trump' Republicans in 2019 with the sole aim of removing Donald Trump from office, the Lincoln Project succeeded in fundraising $90 million while failing to turn Republican voters against Trump. Since Trump's departure from Washington, they've stayed active online, campaigning against all but the most centrist, establishment-friendly Republicans.
Central to their current online presence are their calls for anyone involved in the pro-Trump riot on Capitol Hill in January to be "held accountable." Part of that mission seemingly involves endlessly reminding the American public about the minute details of the riot, which they did on Friday with a series of 'live' tweets chronicling the so-called pro-Trump "insurrection" from start to finish.

It's a common tactic of the politically charged on either side (and normally perceived as a cheap one at that) to take the particular adherents of an ideology and equate that diehard worship to mental illness.
Conservatives label younger liberal generations as snowflakes or as having Trump derangement syndrome if they didn't like the past president; liberals and progressives label right-leaning individuals or conservatives as racists, bigots, misogynists, etc. Resorting to this type of lowbrow behavior might once have been seen as an excuse not to address the actual issues or beliefs at hand, but now ad hominem attacks are more common than not.
Comment: In other words, if you subscribe to an insane ideology, you pay the price with your sanity.

Rachel Maddow
After hyping a fake story on Afghan bounties, cable's leading anchor doesn't blink and moves on to the next fable.
If you'd told me back in 2005, when I first met Rachel Maddow, that the lightning-quick, ultra-smooth broadcaster would someday supplant Bill O'Reilly as the #1 name in cable news, I wouldn't have been surprised, at all. But I'd have been shocked if you told me she got to the top by being Bill O'Reilly.
With Maddow in the lead role, MSNBC has become Fox, but somehow more craven, jingoistic, and shameless. If you don't believe it, compare their narratives side by side, and see if you can spot a real difference between Bush-era Fox and Maddow's MNSBC broadcasts from this past week.

Comment: Lockdowns and other moronic inhuman tyrannical measures will end up causing more damage and unnecessary deaths than the virus itself. What we have to worry about now is not how to protect from the virus, but how to stop this tyrannical and fascistic rule spreading across the entire planet from becoming our "new normal."
