I would just like to point out that the “We Are Here” line from just one year ago no longer exists.

“…no evidence of foul play”. Yeahhhh, that’s what they said in the ‘50s and ‘60s, too. Per the article: “The investigation is conducted by the Cleveland Police Department, the Mississippi Bureau of Investigations, and the Bolivar County Sheriff’s Office.” Nothing could go wrong here, right?

There are still good folks in the world who do NOT choose profit over people ❤️ “To live at Astoria on 9th, people must be at least 55 years old and earn at or below 22%, 30% or 60% of the area median income. Rent ranges from $322 to $1,316 a month, according to Mourning.”

As someone whose JOB it is to protect others from harmful policy language, please hear me when I say: THIS. IS. NOT. POLICY. It is hateful, dangerous rhetoric being spewed by those who can’t see past the color of their own skin, and are scared of anything that goes bump in the night.

‘Bout time someone started calling them out!! “You know, don’t tell me you’re a Democrat, but you’re kind of disappointed right now, so you’re not doing anything. No, now is exactly the time that you get in there and do something,” Obama said. “… What’s needed now is courage.”
