We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly
I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you

Why is he not dead yet ? Like what do I have to do to have him gone ????
Also not my connecting the dots but I’m more and more convinced that Bertie had an affair with Jackson, got pregnant and gave up the baby to her sister name Dianne !! 👀
The theories are theorying!! As for why Bishop ain't dead yet....
On October 1, 2023, California Governor Gavin Newsom chose well-known labor organizer and political strategist Laphonza Butler to be the next US Senator from California, following the death of long-serving Senator Dianne Feinstein on September 29, 2023. Butler, who was sworn in by Vice President Kamala Harris at the US Capitol on October 3, 2023, is the first openly LGBT Senator from California, the first Black lesbian in the US Senate, and the second Black woman to represent California in the Senate, following Vice President Kamala Harris. California must hold two concurrent Senate elections in March 2024: a special election to fill out the rest of Feinstein’s term in spite of there being an appointed Senator, and another election for the full six-year term beginning in January 2025.
Senator Butler’s career path includes labor, corporate, academic, and political engagement. Social justice has been her focus within these varied endeavors. Born in Magnolia, Mississippi, in 1979, Butler comes from a working-class family. Her father was a small business owner who died of a terminal illness when Butler was in high school. She saw her mother become the household’s sole provider for three children, working as a classroom aide, a home care provider, a security guard, and a bookkeeper.
Butler earned a bachelor’s degree in Political Science at Jackson State University in 2001. After graduation she began a career as a labor organizer in several states, working with nurses, custodians, and hospital workers. In accepting her appointment, Butler said that she would strive to honor Feinstein’s legacy by “committing to work for women and girls, workers and unions, struggling parents, and all of California.” Her previous job as President of Emily’s List, which helps elect Democratic women who support abortion rights, means it is likely abortion rights will be an important part of the Democrats’ election strategy in 2024.
In 2009 Butler moved to California where she organized nurses as well as in-home caregivers, and became President of SEIU (Service Employees International Union) Local 2015 of United Long Term Care Workers; she also served as President of the SEIU State Council. Butler has served on the board of the Children’s Defense Fund, the political action committee BlackPAC, and the Bay Area Economic Council Institute think tank. In addition, she is the former director of the Board of Governors of the Los Angeles branch of the Federal Reserve System, and a former Regent of the University of California.
Butler is married to Neneki Lee. The couple has an 8-year-old daughter. Lee is the National Division Director for Public Services at SEIU. When she became President of Emily’s list in 2021, Butler and her family moved to Maryland while maintaining their home in Los Angeles. As of October, 2023, they have re-domiciled to Los Angeles and Butler has re-registered to vote in California.
From "Rep. Ronny Jackson Was Thrown ‘Face First’ to the Ground While Trying to Help Teen: CNN"
Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) was thrown “face first into the concrete” and put in handcuffs by law enforcement as he tried to help a teenage girl in medical distress over the weekend, according to a witness. The former Trump doctor, who is an ER physician, was attempting to aid a 15-year-old who was “seizing due to possible hypoglycemia” at the White Deer Rodeo in Texas on Saturday night, the girl’s relative Linda Dianne Shouse told CNN. Shouse, a home healthcare and traveling nurse, said she and another family member who is also a nurse were helping the teen when authorities told people to get back. She said she saw one law enforcement officer screaming “get the fuck back” in Jackson’s face. “And the next thing I knew, they had him on the ground, grabbed him by the shirt, threw him on the ground, face first into the concrete and had him in cuffs,” Shouse said. Officers uncuffed him and apologized when they realized who he was, Shouse added.
A real doctor was proving aid in a life threatening situation
WITH the consent of two adult guardians
Police injected themselves into a situation where they weren't needed nor wanted
Violence was dispensed by the police ONLY
The police added a delay to the medical care of the teen; in any of a number of circumstances this would have been fatal
The police weren't requested, wanted, needed nor did they have anything positive to add to the situation: so, naturally, they intervened.
