"Household name" is not something we can measure. We can measure name recognition, ticket sales, album sales, streaming numbers. By any measure they're in the same league as MJ in the 80's
EXCLUSIVE: A WIRED analysis of data leaked from the surveillance company formerly known as Shotspotter reveals the secret locations of 25,580 gunshot detection microphones.

What you consider "most of the world" is not the key indicator here when China alone has a billion people. That you don't know about them doesn't mean they're not as big as MJ in his prime
@HireBlackPpl
If that's your position no true comparison can be made. Streaming can absolutely be compared to radio spins and record sales, it's the modern version.
This ain't it. I can see why folks might believe it's a step in the right direction but unless a community is a recent victim of natural or man-made disaster, housing folks in sheds is an undignified and unsafe way to address resident's fundamental right to housing

He didn't "do nothing". He helped the state to mobilize the national guard, he sent Holder in to pacify, he called protestors thugs, he supported cops, he mobilized the FBI to target activists creating the Black identity extremist playbook that Trump threatens to use
The City of Cleveland has enacted a Proclamation of Civil Emergency (Civil Unrest) for the purposes of curfew beginning today, May 30, 2020 at 8 p.m. and continuing to 8 a.m. tomorrow, May 31, 2020 due to violence and unrest.
Today in Firestone Park,
Akron Police, including SNUD + plain clothes, are OUT OF CONTROL. Dangerous driving on Sweitzer Ave to threatening to fight a handcuffed person (claims to be Tara Mosley son) in back of the APD suv escalating. Gang behavior. Harmful. patterns + practices
@GovKathyHochul
showed up to Sunset Park and not only used MLK legacy but also Sunset park community as pawns to push her conservative judge. And the worst part was she brought police with her and kicked out a respected, afro-latina leader who belongs to the church.

Black trans women get murdered all the time. Black homeless person is murdered, "it's clearly because they're homeless, not Black". Meanwhile the majority of homeless people are Black. The racism is in the water.
If I'm to understand this correctly; burning the US flag outside of the Democratic National Convention would be free speech but burning the Israeli flag would be hate speech?
Cory Booker is an embarrassment. Republicans will stick to the same messaging regardless. This won't help Dems in messaging to the largest social movement in a generation.
@endsanctions
All work is arguably prostitution. The largest employers, like Amazon are just as coercive and exploitive. The distinction doesn't sanitize sex work, and it shouldn't be sanitized but neither should we sanitize the exploitation that exists under capitalism outside of sex work
Jesus Christ. We have a '94 Crime Bill president and a '94 Crime Bill mayor. We know that more cops will mean more arrests for petty offenses concentrated in POOR, BLACK communities. Petty police harassment causes folks to lose jobs, housing and families. We can't go backwards
We can be pro-police and hold them accountable,
@POTUS
understands that. Cleveland is showing America that we can reduce crime by making investments in our police and communities.

Yes, Americorps forces people into poverty, pretending it's a job opportunity when it's really more like an unpaid fellowship with a weak stipend

He never consults with anyone but his team. He has a market oriented approach to "social justice", no social, no justice. Just vibes.
Now is not the time to talk about a ceasefire. We must support Israel in efforts to eliminate the Hamas terrorists who slaughtered innocent men, women, and children.
Hamas does not want peace, they want to destroy Israel. We can talk about a ceasefire after Hamas is neutralized.

Obama is an imperialist, war criminal and con man who bamboozled the working class, progressives and people of color to deliver his victories and then consistently sold them out and used them as punching bags to align himself with people who demanded his birth certificate
Zoom in on Cleveland, and you'll see that Trump picked up 5,294 votes over 2016. Biden underperformed Clinton by 12,129. It's another way of looking at the drop in Cleveland's voter turnout.
Joined a bipartisan Resolution condemning Hamas's actions, reaffirming U.S. commitment to and support for Israel, calling for the immediate release of all hostages and more.
Observing the police, questioning the police and filming the police are all constitutionally protected. You would think someone who does as many police stories as
@edgallekfox8
would know that.
Ed is helping Cleveland Police + FOP union attempt to criminalize CPD commissioner Teri Wang who was exercising her civil liberties + RIGHTFULLY recording cop watch when 10 cops surround a man experiencing mental health crisis in a public park.
You should ALWAYS film the police

Yep. Our partners are expected to have the same days off that we do (I also work at WW). If someone doesn't it's because their company required it. Our cleaning teams and facilities folks aren't employed by WW.
Cleveland wants to spend $13 million building new horse stables for its "approximately" seven police horses.
No, that is not a typo.

There’s no “but” here Jayne. The government employee needlessly endangered people’s lives period. People have rights, constitutional rights, rather or not you think they’re behaving badly. It’s an unconstitutional use of force and the city will pay for it even if the cop doesn’t

Nah, most municipalities require a foundation. Even the home in the pic has a foundation, that eats up at least $10k. You're not building a house for $8k tho and if it was possible the shell should be around the same. A permit for a shed is not the same as an occupancy permit
As of 1:02 PM voter turnout has reached 25.90% in Cuyahoga County for today’s special election, the city of Cleveland is currently at 16% voter turnout.

No, that’s the entire point. The system continues as is because we believe that it rewards ingenuity or hard work. It’s a pyramid scheme that can’t work without people coming in at the bottom. Also, Jay-Z becoming a billionaire doesn’t change the game, it’s just more for him
I have a video series, Marxism in a Minute, because everyone who wants to change the world can (& should!) understand economics.

Yes, you BOTH deserve insults, ****ing vampires. Majority of those burned and bombed to death on 10/7 were by "friendly fire". Israel enlists teenage girls with very little training, gives them powerful weapons and lets them loose. This time the chickens came home to roost
When Fanon Rucker, a Black Cincinnati judge, ran for prosecutor in 2020. He faced a torrent of GOP attacks & thinks he lost because of that race baiting.
Shortly after, Rucker got a letter from a resident who explained her vote with this racist diatribe:

I continue to be concerned about the impacts of the Feb 3 train derailment near East Palestine, OH, and the effects on families in the ten days since their lives were upended through no fault of their own. It’s important that families have access to useful & accurate information:

Funny how when you say "We need affordable housing", they respond with "We need all kinds of housing" and if you say "We don't need more luxury housing" , they say "There's no such thing".

Bullshit. It's very clear that some chose to pretend everything was everything while their cronies bought up all the PPE, dumped their stock, then went into the business of selling PPE at exorbitant prices on the black market. That was planned.
FirstEnergy customers who remain without power can pick up one bag of ice and two gallons of water free of charge at participating Northeast Ohio Giant Eagle locations
