@Worththefight47 @espn Thanks for showing your knowledge on the subject. The bill was sponsored by a democrat state senator. Furthermore, the state senate is not all republican. Everyone present (both democrat and republican) voted to pass this bill

Gavin Newscum sounds like a petulant child who can't control his emotions. So he sits there wildly gesticulating like mommy didn't give him enough attention. Maybe he needs to be sent to his room, but we all know that could be more trouble.

@BillAckman @gofundme How convenient of you to just happen to miss donating to Renee Good, but naturally you rushed to donate to her murderer. What a piece of shit you are.
English

I have been widely reviled (and worse) by many on social and mainstream media for giving $10,000 to a @gofundme for Jonathan Ross, the officer who tragically killed Renee Good. [I had also attempted to support the gofundme for Renee Good’s family, but it was already closed as it had achieved its $1.5 million fundraising objective.]
My donation to Ross has been characterized in social media by the press as my “giving a reward to the murderer of Renee Good” likely in an effort to generate clicks and boost virality, and by some to advance their political objectives.
My purpose in supporting Ross and attempting to support Good was not to make a political statement. I was simply continuing my longstanding commitment to assisting those accused of crimes of providing for their defense. I strongly believe that only a detailed forensic investigation by experts and a deep understanding of the law that applies will enable us to determine whether Ross is guilty of murder.
In light of the strongly negative reaction by perhaps half the country (in contrast to cheers of support from the other half of the country), I thought it might be helpful to provide context on my decision to support Ross (and Good). I could of course have avoided the controversy by giving anonymously, but I thought my public support would help Ross more easily raise the funds needed for his defense.
23 years ago almost to the day, I was accused of a crime that I did not commit. I was confident that I had done nothing wrong, but I was convicted in the headlines. I was under investigation for nearly a year before it ended without any finding of wrongdoing, but it would be years later before I was exonerated in the public eye. Fortunately, I had the financial resources to pay for my defense and support my family during the investigation, a period during which I was unemployed.
in 2010, I met Barry Scheck and the Pershing Square Foundation became one of the largest funders of the Innocence Project (@innocence), an organization which seeks to exonerate the wrongfully convicted and to help reform elements of the criminal justice system to decrease the likelihood an innocent person is convicted of a crime they did not commit.
When Barry approached me about the Innocence Project, I was an easy mark for supporting its work in light of my personal history of being falsely accused. I was particularly receptive to his pitch because the Innocence Project focuses its work on people it believes have been wrongfully convicted, are in prison for life, and are unable to pay for their defense.
Years earlier, I had the opportunity to serve as a juror in a date rape case where the jury concluded that the accused, who was represented by a public defender, was innocent after a careful examination of the evidence.
I have tremendous respect for how our jury system works and its critical importance. I also have real-life perspective on what life is like for the accused, particularly someone who believes and/or knows that they are innocent.
In a typical case, the entire world believes you are guilty. You quickly become unemployed and unemployable. You and your family suffer from extreme public scorn in addition to severe financial pressure. And in the social media era, it is much, much worse. You are immediately doxed. You receive hundreds of death threats. Your and your family’s safety is seriously threatened, some of your friends and family abandon you, and your public life basically ends while you wait years to have an opportunity to defend yourself in court.
As a result of all of the above, I am a fierce advocate for the American legal principle that one is presumed innocent until proven guilty by a judge or by a jury of one’s peers.
Over the years, I have invested substantial funds providing for the legal defense of individuals that I believe are innocent. As we speak, I am spending millions funding the legal costs for two people accused of wrongdoing.
My instinctual reaction to the media convicting someone before an investigation has begun – let alone a trial and a determination by a court and/or jury – is to be very open to the possibility that the accused is innocent.
When the tragic Ross/Good case blew up on X, I did not do any due diligence on the case other than quickly reviewing the handful of videos that were circulating online. A few minutes later, I contributed $10,000 to the first gofundme I found which supported Ross. My modest financial support reflected my limited due diligence on the case. I then attempted to do the same for Good’s family, but I was unable to do so as it had already achieved its $1.5 million goal.
I supported Ross because I knew he would need significant funds to cover his defense costs. I supported the gofundme for Good’s family as I thought that it was the right thing to do.
When making the donation, I considered whether to check the box on the gofundme to allow for an anonymous donation – as I thought my support could be viewed by some as controversial – but I chose not to do so as I believed doing so would help Ross raise more funds for his defense.
It is very unfortunate that we have reached a stage in society where we are prepared to toss aside longstanding American principles depending on who is accused and on what side of the aisle one sits. Our country and its citizens would be vastly better served by our not rushing to judgment and letting our justice system do its job.
One day you may find yourself accused of a crime you did not commit without the financial resources needed to defend yourself. From that moment on, you will strongly regret the times you have rushed to judgment on the basis of a headline and the then-limited available evidence about a case, and you and your family will pray that someone will be open to believing you are innocent and will be willing to help you pay for your defense.
The fact that people will invest their personal funds to help an accused person provide for his or her legal defense is one of the great aspects of our country. A world in which the accused cannot afford to pay for their defense is not a world any of us should want to live in.

@BillAckman Then why the fuck are you donating $10,000 for his defense if he's not in need of a lawyer you stupid piece of shit?

@UncleEarlJ @ZavalaA “The impetus for the adoption of the Texas map (like the map subsequently adopted in California) was partisan advantage pure and simple.”
Cry some more you dumb bitch.
English

@ZavalaA Texas redistricting was politically based not racially based and was therefore upheld by the court. The California effort was racially based and will therefore likely be struck down. There were also numerous other violations with the California redistricting effort.
English

@ZavalaA The whole thing was a sham. The maps should be investigated and the election should be investigated. That was not an honest election !

“President Bush is my partner in crime at every major thing where all the formers gather. So we are together all the time. He is a funny man. He is a wonderful man and I love him to death.” - Michelle Obama
This moment captures one of the most talked about modern cross party friendships in American public life the genuine warmth between Michelle Obama and George W Bush. Despite one being a Democrat and the other a Republican their bond has become sort of a public reminder that politics and personal character are not always in the same lane. Former presidents share an unusual club. There are so few people on earth who have lived with that level of pressure emotional consequence and historical burden. That shared weight becomes a kind of glue.
People forget that the presidency is a job which ends but the experience of being president never leaves a person. These gatherings of living presidents create a strange half fraternity half support group where rivalries tend to fade and the shared understanding grows deeper. They have both said publicly that their connection is rooted in humor and ease not ideology.
Bush has said that Michelle is one of the only people at these events who still treats him like a normal human not a museum piece of history.

@archeohistories Grek is a modern concept to serve as a founding myth for british and western countries. Academics bought for by western influence perpetuate the lie. These people were closer to Phrygians, Carians, Leleges, and Makedonians

Ancient coins inscribed with Greek letters were minted across a wide geographical area, reflecting the widespread influence of Greek language and culture, especially during the Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman periods. And to my friends who write and read Greek or live in present-day Greece, writing on coins in Greek letters does not mean that all states attributed to Greek.
The main regions where coins bore Greek inscriptions:
• Mainland Greece :
Athens, Sparta, Corinth, Thebes, etc. Athens is famous for its owl tetradrachms, inscribed with “ΑΘΕ” (short for ΑΘΗΝΑΙΩΝ – of the Athenians).
• Greek Islands: Rhodes:
Rose symbol, inscribed ΡΟΔΙΟΝ (of the Rhodians). Crete, Delos, Kos, and others minted coins with local Greek inscriptions.
• Asia Minor (modern Türkiye): Cities like Ephesus, Sardis, Pergamon, Miletus, and Halicarnassus. These were Greek-speaking cities under first Persian and later Hellenistic rule.
• Black Sea Region:
Pontic and Thracian cities such as Sinope, Odessos, and Tomis. Many were Greek colonies with local coinage in Greek letters.
• Levant and Syria:
Cities like Tyre, Sidon, Antioch, Laodicea, Seleucia. Under Hellenistic kingdoms (esp. Seleucid Empire), coins had Greek legends.
• Egypt:
During the Ptolemaic dynasty (Hellenistic Egypt), Greek was the official language. Coins were inscribed with “ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΠΤΟΛΕΜΑΙΟΥ” (of King Ptolemy).
• Cyprus:
Greek inscriptions were common, such as from Salamis and Kition.
• Magna Graecia (Southern Italy and Sicily):
Greek colonies like Tarentum, Neapolis, Syracuse, and Agrigentum minted coins in Greek.
• Bactria and India (Greco-Bactrian and Indo-Greek Kingdoms):
Kings like Menander, Demetrius, and Antialkidas issued bilingual coins: Greek on one side and Kharosthi or Brahmi on the other.
• Roman Empire (select areas): Many Eastern cities under Roman rule continued to mint provincial coins with Greek inscriptions, especially in Asia Minor and the Levant.
Common Inscriptions Include:
• City names: ΑΘΗΝΑΙΩΝ (of the Athenians), ΡΟΔΙΩΝ (of the Rhodians)
• King names: ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ (of King Alexander), ΠΤΟΛΕΜΑΙΟΥ
• Divine references: e.g., ΖΕΥΣ, ΑΠΟΛΛΩΝ, ΑΘΗΝΑ
• Titles and dates: such as strategos, archon, or Olympiad dates and besides to above many of Byzantine scripted Greek letters.
