Joy-Ann ReidI imagine this is what it was like when Fidel Castro gave one of his two hour ramblers. Trump is only a little over halfway through an 11 page script but he isn’t even close to sticking to it. This senior citizen is literally just rambling.

Stay safe out there!
CoffeeGeekWe're working on removing all Twitter integration from CoffeeGeek.com, starting tomorrow. There's a lot to do.
I have a long thread, a "call to action" to the remaining #coffee community on Twitter, ready to post on October 10th, my last day on that platform.
If it entices any companies, services, charitable organizations, brands, or individuals in the specialty coffee sphere to make the leap here, I know many of you will welcome them with open arms.
Stay tuned! :)
Steve HermanWashington Post: As false information about the rapidly changing war between Hamas and #Israel proliferated on ‘X’ (#Twitter), owner Elon Musk personally recommended that users follow accounts notorious for promoting lies. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/10/08/israel-hamas-disinfo-musk-twitter-x/

“If these tactics end up working to keep Trump from winning or even running in 2024, it is going to be the last American election that will be decided by ballots rather than bullets”
This is sedition
This man knows what he’s saying

“They treated us royally” The experiences of black Americans in Britain during the Second World War
During the Second World War, about 1.5 million American servicemen and women visited British shores. Around 150,000 of the US troops who came to Britain were black. Their arrival was heralded as a ‘friendly invasion’, but also highlighted a number of cultural differences between the two nations, including an unfriendly American one: the institutional racism of the United States.
Finally, the Park Street Riot, the Battle of Bamber Bridge, and similar events give historians a more comprehensive view of World War II, reminding us that battles weren't just fought against external enemies but also against deeply entrenched prejudices.
Understanding such events is crucial because it provides context to the broader civil rights movement.
