   She’s admittedly desperate for H&M news despite work done by other royals. She longs for their messages of empathy & mindfulness while mocking it as “carey, sharey” platitudes.She lauds clapping for the NHS, but can’t be bothered about the funds Harry helped raise for WellChild.+

   I’m in. District Attorneys possess immense discretion to decide whether to charge and what to charge. When we demand truth and accountability we are demanding that DAs do their job and investigate with integrity. Instead these DAs hid evidence, slandered Ahmaud & defended racism. https://t.co/ypNIMMtHYT

    Before COVID-19, I never understood agoraphobia. I do now.😒😒

    I'm seeing pictures and videos of all these people swarming restaurants, stores, and bars with zero masks & zero social distancing… and it's just making me want to hunker down in my house and never come out again.

    This is going to get so much worse before it gets better.

    If Trump fires Linick (he will), it will be because Republican Senators have decided to enable his war on government accountability (they will). Most of them did nothing and a few issued meek expressions of concern last month when Trump fired IG Atkinson. They own his corruption.

    My theory, which is also @BlackWomenLead_ 's theory, is that Biden is particularly immune to negative attacks because he's so well-defined in voters' minds & was defined before the current social media/bot era. Plus, being a white guy doesn't hurt him w/ this Teflon either.

    1. Harry dated English Roses and found them thorny.

    2. If Harry had any intentions of staying in the BRF he NEVER would've married Meghan in the first place.

    3. Breaking Meghan was about breaking HARRY so he would conform to his proper role as whipping boy for William. https://t.co/hc5bfb944M

    Random tip: If you have a hand-sewn mask with no wire and breathing fogs up your glasses, a tissue folded over a few times over the bridge of your nose, under the mask, totally solves the problem.

    WOW! @BarackObama goes in on US leaders: "Doing what feels good, what’s convenient, what’s easy, that’s how little kids think. A lot of so-called grown-ups, including some with fancy titles & important jobs, still think that way, which is why things are so screwed up."

    This is a HUGE deal.

    Local police in Glynn County were illegally using Gregory McMichael as a sort of informal deputy and encouraging neighbors to contact him with concerns instead of police.

    In effect, a modern day slave patrol in that neighborhood.https://t.co/gQ8oDjYZKx

      Police told the homeowner where #AhmaudArbery was last seen to contact Greg McMichael if his cameras caught someone on his property. McMichael in turn gathered a posse & began hunting for Ahmaud, or someone who fit his description, catching up with him on 2/23/20– killing him. pic.twitter.com/BmlmW636f5
