Rashad Turner, founder of Black Lives Matter Saint Paul, quit the group this month because BLM national leaders don't care about black people. His main issue was its call for a moratorium on new charter schools. He told The 74, "Our public education system has people who are sometimes literally dying for the lack of educational opportunity.

"co-opted"? Not at all. It was ALWAYS a corrupt Marxist political operation and NEVER about black lives actually mattering. They have just discovered the truth of what it has always been.

BLM is against charter schools because they are less likely to be influenced by communist indoctrination as the publik skools.

This guy is absolutely correct, but what else is new. This is what democrats have always been about. Against school choice, against voucher programs and against charter schools. And what are they for, THE FREAKIN TEACHER'S UNION. Its a circle jerk, the democrats give the teachers & the union money and in return the teachers & union give money to support the democrats re-election. Its that freakin simple. Sad part is the democrats make complete fools of the black communities and they still don't get it. Black parents actually vote for the people who are destroying their children. That's how ignorant the black communities are. Get it yet..

The black whiners will never stop. They continue to be dissatisfied, cry racism, white supremacy and victimhood even though American society has made great efforts to help them. They are favored in education and in job placement, they can now get into the best schools since the standards have been sufficiently lowered for them but not whites and Asians, Television is now black-a-vision, they can loot, burn and shoplift without repercussions, the police hesitate to arrest them for fear of being dragged into court for simply doing their jobs, they have been let out of jail even with multiple felonies on their records, they are allowed to riot, block traffic, shout with megaphones and beat people in the streets. We have already given them way too much leeway and it has gone so far that they will continue to be lawless for a long time to come. It is getting to the point where violence against them is the only answer. One day soon they will attack the wrong neighborhood.

Co-opted by the Marxist teachers unions. Now they are all singing the same Marxist song. The probably stand, with hands over heart, for the USSR anthem.

The teacher unions through their employees in the legislature have long wanted an end to charter schools in California. Charter schools are helpful is boosting educational levels of Black, Hispanic and low income students. Charter schools have no downside except for less union control. The unions, therefore, have ordered the Democrat party to eliminate them. Well, even Stalin ran into opposition when he started to collectivise agriculture and starve millions to death, but orders are orders and Democrats obey the unions. Goodbye, charter schools! Students will now begin to learn that mathematics, Shakespeare, physics, history, biology and even Aesop's fables are racially inspired tools of oppression.

Um, Rashad, did you miss the fact that Smidgen ended charter schools and school vouchers for DC residents who are mostly black and then sent his daughters to the $40,000 per year Sidwell Friends School?

BLM has always existed for one purpose and one purpose only: To make lots of money for a hand full of it's "leadership" by shaking down guilt-ridden lie-berals and lie-beral companies. Lets face it, if they cared in the least about black lives, they would be in the inner-cities of Detroit, Chicago, New Orleans, etc, etc, helping to stop all the black-on-black violence. According to FBI statistics, if you are a black person who is killed in this country, there is about a 90% chance the person who killed you was also black. But, hey, there is no money to be made in stopping black-on-black crime, so forget about it.

BLM is what it has always been, and that is a marxist organization. Just because Rashad was clueless, doesn't mean they were co-opted. He was just duped like the rest of the ones who think blm means something of value. Glad Rashad is woke, but he was blind.

This week, The New York Times reported on new laws in Maryland and Montana that restrict law enforcement’s use of genealogy databases to catch serial killers. (Maryland I can understand, but Montana? Has someone kidnapped Gov. Greg Gianforte?) Some of the largest DNA databases — Ancestry, 23andMe and Helix — already refuse to share their databases with the police without a court order. I’m sorry, but why? What is their argument? Ancestry doesn’t want to lose the business of skittish serial killers? Everyone agrees that these pro-criminal rules were a direct response to the “controversy” of law enforcement catching the Golden State Killer in 2018.
Fauci Emails Show U.S. Scientists Knew

Inside the Fauci emails there is one that stands out for many reasons. On February 1st NIH scientists were telling Anthony Fauci the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) has “unusual features” that “potentially look engineered”. Later in the email they highlight the genome of SARS-CoV-2 appears “inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory”. Despite this analysis, only a few days later Anthony Fauci vehemently proclaimed the SARS-CoV-2 strain was a naturally occurring Bat virus, and anyone questioning the natural creation of the virus was ridiculed, marginalized and dismissed; some even lost their jobs.

It is worth the watch.(Video) When you consider the scale of the full-court press that was unleashed to demand compliance with the COVID vaccines, I would also like to ask a question.When we take a breath and remind ourselves of the curious emphasis, from every possible institution, pushing everyone to take a COVID vaccine. (Snip) Would a person who took the vaccine be more or less likely to admit the COVID narrative was based on a fraudulent presentation of risk? Perhaps the answer to that question is the reason for the originating “take the vaccine” demand.

Emails to/from National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci have been released to both Buzzfeed [HERE] and the Washington Post [HERE]. The time frame of the release is January 2020 to mid-June 2020. (Snip) Within the emails we discover, Fauci had some urgent, time sensitive discussions about “gain of function” research; the weaponization of the COVID virus. Fauci also told colleagues “retail masks don’t work” as protection from COVID due to the molecular size of the virus. Also the emails reveal that Anthony Fauci was very well aware the outbreak came from a possible lab leak. Additionally, there is a warning from a scientist inside the NIH

On February 17, 2020, just three weeks after covid 19 splashed onto the world scene, the Washington Post dismissed as a debunked conspiracy theory that Red China cooked the Wuhan Virus up in its biomedical lab. The Post attacked any public official who dared raise that possibility. At my kindest, I would say the Post acted in ignorance. But given its history of running Red China's propaganda (which Red China paid handsomely to run) and its promotion of communism in its editorials and news stories, I realize there were more nefarious reasons for the Jeff Bezos and his newspaper instantly rejecting any possibility of biomedical warfare by Red China.

Once you see the strings on the Marionettes it is impossible to watch the pantomime and not see them.

Unanimously ruling against a Chinese asylum claimant, the Supreme Court reversed the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals this morning, finding immigration judges do not have to explicitly state that an asylum seeker’s story is not credible when finding against him. The court’s opinion in the case, Garland v. Dai, court file 19-1155, was written by Justice Neil Gorsuch. “The Ninth Circuit has long applied a special rule in immigration disputes,” Gorsuch wrote. “The rule provides that, in the absence of an explicit adverse credibility determination by an immigration judge or the Board of Immigration Appeals, a reviewing court must treat a petitioning alien’s testimony as credible and true.”

It’s been over a year since the WHO declared the coronavirus a pandemic after originally downplaying the threat. It is no secret that both the disease and the response to combat it following this SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in late 2019 have turned our world upside-down. Mandates, lockdowns, and guidelines seem to change every time Dr. Fauci opens his mouth. All of these unprecedented rules were put into place, we were told, to slow down the spread of a disease that today is linked to the death of over half a million Americans and 3.7 million global citizens in the last year.
