However, that would not be the end of the racial tension in Cairo—nor the last lynching. Cairo has always been a hotbed of racism.

This coming Sunday, I will post a thread on a 1967 lynching that changed Cairo forever.

Stay tuned, friends.

🧵 Nov. 11, 1909, Cairo, Illinois was the site of one of the most violent lynchings in American history. A mob not only lynched William James—a White man was lynched as well.

Yep. A double lynching.

The most ordinary man imaginable came to my home state to tell me to ‘get out of America’ while he & Absent Ashley enjoyed the comfort of buildings my ancestors helped build. Imagine standing on the shoulders of the ppl who built this country & then telling their descendants they don’t belong here/2

Republicans distancing themselves from Trump ahead of the midterms is the same as an asshole trying to suck a fart back in. 🍑💨

It can't be done. The stench of Trump lingers—literally.

Have Republicans finally reached a tipping point on Trump? | Opinion
Trump-endorsed candidates are scrubbing him from websites and breaking with him on Iran. His grip on the GOP is slipping, but it's not gone yet.

We don’t spend enough time talking about just how WEIRD all these people are. This is just an incredibly weird and insecure thing to say. Imagine any other SecDef ever being this weird and insecure?!

A great deal happened today. But nothing more important than this. SCOTUS allows Trump Administration to continue sending detained migrants to third countries with which the migrants have no prior connection.

Just appalling.

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

I'd argue with saying "it appeared" that the Missouri Republican misinterpreted a text message reference to the “hawks.” We all saw with our own eyeballs how Schmitt very clearly misinterpreted text messages. He was 100% in gotcha mode and it blew up on him on live TV.

Holy sh*t. Sen Schmitt just accused Jack Smith of going to an Atlanta Hawks bball game with the implication that he must of also met with then prosecutor Fani Willis BUT Smith went to an Iowa HAWKEYES game in Maryland instead. This GOP clown show is a disgrace.

Remember how Elon Musk tried to buy a Supreme Court justice in 2025? Well, he’s back in Wisconsin politics, and he’s donating to Derrick Van Orden’s campaign. Just thought you should know.

I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.
