⚠️ WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT
An Auburn, WA officer straddled a man on the ground and punched him in the head more than 20 times before he was handcuffed, according to video. The officer is now on administrative leave. The public deserves a full explanation for this horrific treatment!

These movies make white people look bad, but the sad part is that a lot of Black people have experienced this kind of treatment in real life. I honestly don’t understand why racism and hatred toward Black people still exist. This show really got to me.

Obama tonight on his Cheesecake Factory line: "They mobilized a whole of government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke. The White House even called the Secretary of the Treasury. This is the man who is in charge of the economy. The person who's supposed to be figuring out how to make your life more affordable. The guy who's supposed to be figuring out how to lower inflation. And reduce interest rates. They told him he should hold a press conference in front of the Cheesecake Factory."

Travis Hunter reveals to Ja'Marr Chase how Coach Prime talked him out of going to Florida State and flipped to Colorado last second; Deion Sanders promised he could play both sides of the ball if he earned it
Travis: "That transfer process was kind of weird. At the same time, I had too much respect for Coach Prime, so even going out there and exploring my options just a little bit, I felt like it was kind of disrespectful. Everyone was like, 'Oh yeah, he's definitely going to Colorado, he's definitely going to Deion' and stuff like that. But I also did a little exploring.”
Ja’Marr: "When I seen you going there, I honestly was...'What the hell is he doing?' I'll be honest. I'm just saying 'cause that's some shit that...the best number one recruit coming out of high school and he goes into a college that's not usually the top Power 5 program... and you went there—that should have had me like, 'What the fu*k!? Why he, you know?' And... man, that was... that was... that was the craziest story for real though..." 👀
Travis: “I tried to see what was out there for me, but at the end of the day, I was just like, man, I got too much respect for him."
"He came and got me to not go to Florida State and changed my mindset, changed the picture of everything. He really changed my life, for real. When I made that news, man, my followers and everything just went up from there."
"I didn't care about the money and how could they get me there, what they could do for me when I get there. I wanted to know if I could play both sides of the ball. That's the only question I had for him. I didn't care about the money, I wanted to know if I could play both sides."

Trump on Amy Acton: "If what the mother said about the daughter is half right, she has no right even running for the governor of Ohio..."
KC: What about what the daughter said about the mother?
TRUMP: "I don’t know what she said."
KC: "That the mother remained married to her stepfather who sexually abused her when she was 12 years old."
TRUMP: "When did she make that statement? Was it just recently?"
KC: "Years ago. He was charged with it."

A real estate agent reportedly sent a text to a Black couple that read "Ugh. They are black" — a message meant for the homeowner. All Lisa Renee Olaso and her fiancé were trying to do was find a home. Instead, they say they encountered discrimination before they even walked through the door! They are now suing the agent and the property owners for housing discrimination.

Ten years ago today.
In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine, hampering the country's defenses during a devastating Russian attack; and Trump waived sanctions on Russia that Congress, led by his late friend Lindsey Graham, had pushed for.
Now, Putin has proposed a summit with Trump and Xi to decide Ukraine’s fate for them, bulldoze a century of international cooperation, and frame Russia as an equal to the U.S. and China.
We’ll see if Putin’s puppet continues to dance on his strings.

Travis Hunter made history Sunday, but more importantly, he put his stamp on the game against Houston.
I’ll say it again: “All-Pro corner. Offensive playmaker.”
He’s a defensive starter with special packages on offense. That’s how it should’ve been all along!
Travis is so good he can be wrong & still be right. Create mismatches, make game-changing plays, then celebrate with every dance he knows!

OMFG! This response from @AbdulElSayed to a completely bigoted question is probably the best thing I’ve heard all year.
Every bigot in America needs to listen to this three times.
