‘Optics are just terrible’; Why was Lynne Patton, a Black former Trump official, barred from government work while White House aides dodged discipline?

Federal officials this past week rejected suggestions that they singled out Lynne Patton, a former Housing and Urban Development political appointee now barred from government work after the Office of Special Counsel found she abused her position to campaign for former President Donald Trump.
Watchdogs and critics have taken aim at OSC, an independent federal investigative agency, because Patton, a Black woman, is the only Trump appointee to face tangible discipline despite the documented bevy of Trump-era White House aides who defied the Hatch Act. The 1939 law, designed to keep partisanship out of government work, restricts most federal employees from politicking on the job.

Black Lieutenant was pulled over by two White Virginia cops. He’s filing a lawsuit for the inhumane treatment he experienced during the traffic stop.
After watching the horrific footage, many people took their concerns to social media to highlight the injustices that still exist.
“If police officers are willing to assault a uniformed Army lieutenant like Caron Nazario while they’re being recorded on camera, imagine what they’re doing to ordinary civilians when they’re not on camera (and often even when they are being filmed),” says CNN commentator Keith Boykin.

“from a low level of oxygen,” Tobin pronounced during expert testimony on Thursday, as the hearings against ex-officer Chauvin entered their ninth day. Tobin explained that there was “
damage to his brain as you can see,” adding that this triggered a type of arrhythmia that caused the victim’s heart to stop.

‘No Way Around That’: Derek Chauvin’s Defense Lawyer Fails to Poke Holes in Expert Pulmonologist’s Account of George Floyd’s Death Colin Kalmbacher
Derek Chauvin’s defense attorney
Eric Nelson had his work cut out for him during his cross examination of the state’s expert pulmonologist Dr.
Martin Tobin on Thursday.
Nelson began by suggesting that Tobin’s report only captured a tiny bit of what happened during
George Floyd’s fatal arrest last May.
“You’ve taken this case, and you’ve literally boiled it down into a nanosecond?” he asked.
“I wouldn’t say that,” the doctor replied–noting that his report chronicled several minutes beginning at the point Chauvin’s knee hit Floyd’s neck and ending when paramedics attempted to revive him.
