This from Uvalde law enforcement talking on coms while 19 children and 2 teachers were left to be massacred
Law enforcement has full body armor and better weapons
Yet 376 officers waited safely for over 77 minutes summoning courage to⦠beat and restrain parents
Thereβs your βgood guyβ with a gun
Ban assault rifles. Hard reboot law enforcement.

Choosing to not prosecute trump would be a far more βpoliticalβ choice than choosing to prosecute him. #ArrestTrump
So I think this is probably a scam by Twitter to get phone numbers from users so they can sell them to telemarketers.
In the last few months Iβve received 4 speaking invites:
β’One to speak on the Black American experienceβI said no & referred a Black scholar

β’One to speak on Arab American studentsβI said no & referred an Arab woman & activist
β’One to speak on my experience in Turkey providing earthquake relief, on a panel with a Turkish scholarβI said yes

Dr called it *missed abort*
That word, could have had me arrested in too many places in America
