On October 20, ConEd mechanic Koran Irvine was fatally shot by retired NYPD detective Victor Romero, who claimed the 46-year-old father was swerving into his lane, prompting him to fire his weapon at Irvine's rear window amid moving traffic. After one week of tireless advocacy from Irvine's loved ones, a grand jury indicted Romero on second-degree murder charges - an upgrade from a manslaughter charge he previously received. He was granted bail and remains free. Status Coup's @JonFarinaPhoto documents a rally by Irvine's family and friends in Lower Manhattan following Romero's indictment.

The American prison system has been turned into a rentier system of profit extraction by major corporations and lobbyists. Legalized bribery in the U.S. has enabled business interests to extract tolls from virtually every activity prisoners engage in, such as charging fees for emails to family members, as well as permitting corporations like McDonald's to utilize prisoners for labor while providing them extremely low wages and no benefits. Our government's treatment of these prisoners is a window into the way the American elite sees the rest of us, and the true nature of our profit-driven system.
Trumpis playing games while the crew of the USS Abraham Lincoln are out here stranded. They have been at sea for way too long eating the same old miserable food and facing terrible living conditions. Now you have sailors pushed to the breaking point trying to jump overboard.
Look at this guy hiding from the Iranians in a food catering truck because he was scared while his cabinet and reporters were left in harm. Nothing presidential about leaving everybody else behind while you run away to another plane.
"OLD MONEY" tee flips the narrative back to where it started. long before paper notes or modern banking, the cowrie shell was the global standard across west africa and beyond, representing real power, exchange, and protection.

White Americans never believed in the Constitution. All immigrants groups that get assimilated into the ruling apartheid regime also never believed in the constitution. Only true American has been the Black American.
