#MedgarEvers, an #NAACP activist in Mississippi, made waves by breaking the #WhiteSupremacist monopoly on television there with his 17-minute speech on #WLBT, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1963. For daring to ask for equality in a public forum he was #lynched less than a month later.

#MaryTurner, a young Black woman eight months pregnant, publically denounced the #lynching of her husband #HazelTurner, one of 13 killed in the #May1918Lynchings. For this she was #lynched herself, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1918. We had to wait until 2018 for an anti-lynching law.

After Pam #Bondi's appalling performance in #Congressional hearings, I have seen a number of people wishing her various kinds of harm. Some I understand, others I don't.

Most obviously, #prison #rape. This is something a lot of people who should know better seem to think is an appropriate punishment for sex crimes. There are about a million reasons why this is wrong, and I'll go into them if anyone wants.

TL;DR: if you wish rape on anyone, for any reason, you are bad person. You may be a good person in other ways, but in this particular way you are scum. Either do better, or own it—just don't pretend righteousness. I'm genuinely baffled by how people I call friends don't understand this.

Nor do I want her, or any of #Trump's coterie of crooks, #assassinated or #lynched. I'm more sympathetic to those wishes, but just no. Every revolution in history has been, in every sense, a bloody mess.

What I want is for We The People, in accordance with the #Constitution and the United States Code, to #impeach, arrest, try, and convict every one of them for the numerous crimes of which everyone knows they're guilty, and then sentence them to prison for life without possibility of parole.

I want us to show the world that we can, legally and correctly, clean up our own mess.

And all that said ... I do hope when Bondi is led, stunned and baffled, down the concrete corridor to her final home, that just before the cell door slams shut, a guard whispers to her, "It's okay, Pam. The Dow is doing *great*!"

Protests erupted on #ThisDayInHistory in 2023 following release of video footage showing #police punching, kicking, & pepper-spraying #TyreNichols, a Black man, on 7 Jan. He died on the 10th. Nichols had run from a traffic stop so he was #lynched by cops.

The #Christian #fascist #Nazi #MAGA cult #lynched this black man and are now calling it a #suicide. Just like #Epstein supposedly killed himself too. They are murderous thugs and we all know this is BS.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1955, 14-year-old #EmmettTill was brutally #lynched after a woman falsely accused him. Her husband and brother-in-law were acquitted by an all-white Mississippi jury, but later confessed in an interview. No-one was ever held accountable. #BlackLivesMatter

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1964, three #CivilRights activists were #lynched in Mississippi. James Earl Chaney was a #union worker and #CORE member from MS; Andrew Goodman and Mickey Schwerner were Jewish activists from NY. The state gov. ignored the act as it supported #KKK terror.
