    “PUT US ON THE MAP” For nearly a decade, the southeast side of Cleveland was left off of the Opportunity Zone maps, losing out on hundreds of millions of dollars in potential investment for their neighborhoods. This year the maps get redrawn by the Bibb Administration, and on

    🧵I have to share this with yall. I’m with my mother & I go into the gas station and I see this real old white man walk in. Walking slow and gingerly. I happen to look up at his hat and it said “World War 2 veteran”. I’m like wow. Normally when I see people with veteran hats on

    that really had an impact on me. What mattered to him was that they were Americans. They were soldiers. They were his countrymen. That was powerful. All of this at the gas station lol. My goodness. God bless you sir. /end

    An interesting data point. Donald Trump just won Anson County, North Carolina. The county is 40% Black. Trump becomes just the second Republican to win this county since the 1870s. (For people keeping score, that means since Reconstruction).

    As I shook hands with him one more time and get back in my car and I’m pulling away, trying to emotionally process all of that, it was a reminder to me: THIS is who we are. To see this old white man enraged all over again as he thinks about how the Nazis treated black soldiers

    This man was 96 years old and you could tell that he was still so angry about what the Nazis did. He tells me “there’s not a lot of guys like me left from that war.” I said “God bless you.” He says “He did. I don’t know why, but He did.”

    My great great grandfather was born a slave. My great grandfather (who I’m old enough to remember) couldn’t read. My grandmother never made more than $12k a year. My mother has a masters degree. I run a business. We are our ancestor’s wildest dreams. We stand on their shoulders

    He starts telling me about this all black battalion in the war. He says “they kept them separated from us and that was wrong”. And he tells me that they were great fighters and they destroyed Nazi tanks at even a higher rate than the white guys. He says

    He tells me “I captured Germans, I held them prisoner. I never killed anybody. I didn’t know what they did until later. Had I known what they did to those black guys, I would’ve killed every last f**king one of them.” Looking in his eyes I knew he meant every word.

    “The Germans wanted to know who were these guys.” He said that found out and captured them. He says “the Germans cut their eyes out, cut their hands off and killed them.” And as he’s telling me this I still see the pain and anger in his eyes. Like he’s back on the battlefield.

    I don’t blame him. I would’ve done the same thing. I would’ve been trying to choke the dude out tbh 🤷🏿‍♂️

    At first I’m in the car and he can’t hear me, not even looking my way. So I pull over and get out and walk up to him and say “I just want to thank you for your service.” He looks at me, and he says “I want to tell you something. You got a minute?” I say yes sir.

    I thank them for their service. And I was going to do that here. But I got distracted, laughing and joking with another customer and I forgot. So as I get back in my car, I see the guy walk back out, slowly, to pump his gas. I pull back around to tell him thank you 4 his service

    In 2020 @SenatorTimScott authored a police reform bill that even The Root said would lead to less black ppl dying. DC Dems used the filibuster 2 block it because they didn’t want the GOP getting credit 4 this in an election year. Don’t talk 2 me about the filibuster
