Memphis has a lot going on

Kash Patel just sent 1,500 FBI agents to Memphis calling it “the homicidal capital of America.” (Memphis’ poverty rate is 22.6%, compared to the national rate of 12.8%.)

This in the wake of murderous police walking free and all promised police reforms being rescinded following their killing of Tyree Nichols.

The confirmed arson of Clayborne Temple -- a historic black church — just happened.

Elon Musk’s AI company, Colossus, is churning Americans’ stolen government data in methane-emitting supercomputers polluting one of the city’s most poverty-stricken zones.

This is troubling and needs more attention.
