Crews in Washington, D.C. have begun painting over the city’s “Black Lives Matter” street mural, a notable symbol of the 2020 protests against the killing of George Floyd, after a Republican bill targeting the mural threatened city funding.

The phrase “Black Lives Matter” had been painted in June 2020 on the pavement by the city in uppercase, yellow letters, covering two blocks on 16th Street, about a quarter mile from the White House.

    We also have the budget to fund ethnic cleaning of Gaza and reconstruction enough to hand it over to luxury real estate developera.

    Also the budget to have a sovereign wealth fund that suspiciously looks like it is set up to let Elon use it to buy TikTok using taxpayer dollars.

    We can find quite a bit of money by doing away with pesky things like social security. Think how much money are could have if we just euthanized people at retirement age.
