Can't say I'm surprised at this early release for the white woman cop who murdered a black guy, but shocking nonetheless
Amber Guyger granted parole 7 years after conviction for murder of Botham Jean
At her 2019 trial, Amber Guyger testified she believed Botham Jean was a burglar. She was off-duty but still wearing her police uniform.

Conspiracy theories break your brain. Make you stupid.
No, the Israeli government did not somehow get over 100 passengers and a stabbed Indian pilot and all the medical personnel who treated the pilot and the governments of the UAE and Saudi Arabia to all tell the same false story. That is absurd.

A federal judge ORDERED the Trump admin to privately show him the memo purporting to justify boat strikes that have killed 234 people in the Caribbean and Pacific.
Judge Engelmayer rejected several rationales for withholding the memo from the public and will determine whether to release it.

This is undoubtedly another act of sabotage specifically requested by a foreign adversary in a conservation with a Trump family member about a financial transaction. There's no explanation for this other than "Trump was paid to do it."

Trump saying we urgently need well stocked sniper nests overlooking the nation’s main location for political protest should ring alarm bells.
Get that it is a legal strategy for Trump to take our money & heritage in the name of the military: but building a sniper nest on the National Mall really feels like a threat to free assembly & speech, as if the only obvious use would be strike down people protesting Trump’s regime.
Just like with the ballroom, another scam by Trump to turn this into a “military complex” to prevent the courts from intervening by using “national security” as his excuse for vanity projects.
