Smidge of Truth

@geoff_calkins EXACTLY.

If Memphis really matters, don't carve it into thirds. Column: dailymemphian.com/subscriber/sec…

@WallStreetApes They seem to know.

A black American from Tennessee went on a trip to visit Shanghai, China She shows in a retail store, a worker is assigned to follow her around and make sure she doesn’t steal anything No matter where she walks, the Chinese worker follows According to real FBI crime statistics, the likelihood of a black person stealing from a store is over 10x higher than a Chinese person stealing from a store Stereotypes seem to exist in multiple countries

@KnoxvilleHoller @VoteGloriaJ @GovBillLee Why do democrats persist with their race baiting politics?

🔥@VoteGloriaJ: “We got official word from @GovBillLee — there will be a white power rally at the Tennessee legislature next week on May 5th… that is what this is. They want to take away that seat from MEMPHIS. This is white supremacy. We need you in Nashville making noise.”

@Weinsteinlaw He is a low IQ person, why introduce his race?

The pattern is unmistakable and repulsive. If you keep calling Black leaders "low IQ," you aren't expressing a political disagreement. You are using a racist dog whistle to undermine their humanity. Every single time Donald Trump uses this slur, he shows the country that his politics are built entirely on grievance and bigotry. It’s a disgrace to the office and a stain on this country.

@RadioGenoa But they are, of course, a little rapey

Keir Starmer: "Muslims have made an enormous contribution to British society and culture. They have made a positive difference, still do, and will continue to do so."

@aftynbehn4tn Democrats believe is race based politics.

STOP THE TENNESSEE STEAL!!!!!!!!!! Next week concludes the 250th year of this American project as the GOP supermajority eliminates the last Democratically held congressional district in the state. STOP THE STEAL. JOIN ALL PATRIOTS AT THE CAPITOL ON TUESDAY AT 2 PM.

@TinaKotek Never mind how democrats have run Oregon, focus on the President - hate him, elect me.

Oregonians feel the pressure of higher prices, and the federal government should be focused on lowering costs, not raising them. The more products that are slapped with tariffs, the more prices go up, and the less Oregonians can afford. statesmanjournal.com/story/news/pol…

@emmanuelfelton Memphis is the armpit of TN, run by Democrats for nearly 30 years.

Memphis is the second Blackest big city in the country, and it’s about to be gerrymandered within an inch of its life so a white Republican can represent it in Congress. This was exactly the thing Congress was trying to address with the Voting Rights Act. tennesseelookout.com/2026/05/01/gov…

@MemphisHoller @GovBillLee Just where in the US Constitution does it say congressional districts are to be created based upon the race of the citizens contained within them? I'll wait.

🔔 There it is — @GovBillLee announces a special session for TUESDAY MAY 5TH to steal representation from majority Black MEMPHIS and make 35% Democratic Tennessee a 9-0 state for Republicans A dark, vicious power grab that continues the downward spiral of 🇺🇸 “democracy”

AMENDMENT XIV Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

NC5 Investigates: Tennessee Rep. Justin Pearson is running for Congress while fighting to preserve Memphis' only majority Black congressional district from elimination. newschannel5.com/news/newschann…

So the TN Democratic Party is fine with creating congressional districts based upon the race of the electorate? Y'all should go read the first section of the 14th Amendment. Especially the last part ~ nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Tennessee Republicans are so afraid of losing elections, they are willing to cheat to win. They are willing to burn down our democracy to hold onto power.

@ReichlinMelnick So, ICE followed the law... I don't get the complaint. engaged to a U.S. citizen- He is not a US CITIZEN brought here as a baby- He is not A US CITIZEN no criminal record- He is NOT A US CITIZEN pursuing an education- HE IS NOT A US CITIZEN

ICE detained a man who: - Is engaged to a U.S. citizen - Was brought here as a baby - Has no criminal record - Is actively pursuing an education He would have had DACA, except Trump suspended it in 2017 before he could apply. Deporting a guy like this doesn’t make us great.

@Jerri_M_Green Racial gerrymandering is unconstitutional, is all the Supreme Court said in its recent decision (as per the 14th Amendment in the US Constitution).

Republicans may try to steal your voice, but they cannot steal your power unless you surrender it. We will never surrender. Sign our petition to tell Governor Lee and the Tennessee Legislature to keep their hands off our maps and protect Memphians' voices: event.greenforgovernor.com/handsoffourmaps.

@SteveRattner @Morning_Joe Let's do Barack Hussein Obama-

Trump’s net worth has nearly tripled in his second term, reaching $6.5 billion. His administration is the most brazenly self-enriching in American history. My @Morning_Joe Chart.

@eeldenden You are correct- the Warsaw Pact has been defunct for nearly 50 years. Remove the protection, remove the economic boost... OK, fine with me.

Americans are only here to maintain their sphere of influence. They will never fight Russia. France shows how it's done; kick them out. Replace them with Ukrainians and other Europeans as proposed by Europe's first Defence Commissioner! A true European Army 🇪🇺🪖

@GeneBryant2 The truth is evil, or not, depending upon what your definition of truth happens to be...

Advocates for LGBTQ+ Tennesseans are urging Gov. Bill Lee to veto a slate of bills targeting their community, including one that specifies local government entities must refer to gender only as “male” or “female” or risk losing state funding. tennesseelookout.com/2026/05/01/ten…

@BasilTheGreat Those silly Asian men are being silly again I see.

The BBC reporting that Britain is becoming awful because of immigrants 😳

@DeAngelisCorey Nice, now try teaching them fundamentals like English and math. Test Scores at Chicago Public Schools • 82% of elementary students tested BELOW the proficient level for reading • 85% of elementary students tested BELOW the proficient level for math.

"We are organizing our school so that the kindergarten through 6th grade students are also going to be able to march."

LIES ~ This happened in 2018 Efrain De La Rosa, 40, was pronounced dead at Southwest Georgia Regional Medical Center in Cuthbert, Georgia, at 11:29 p.m. Stewart facility staff conducting scheduled monitoring discovered Mr. De La Rosa unresponsive in his cell at approximately 10:38 p.m. Facility staff and medical personnel immediately began to perform CPR and contacted Stewart County Emergency Medical Services, which arrived at the facility at 10:48 p.m. The preliminary cause of death appears to be self-inflicted strangulation; however, the case is currently under investigation. aila.org/files/o-files/…

Guards at an ICE jail put Efraín Romero de la Rosa in solitary confinement for 23 hours per day despite a diagnosis of schizophrenia. He is now dead after 21 days. The detention site is operated by the private prison company CoreCivic.

@GeneBryant2 Here's a fact: Tennessee is a top state for academic recovery post COVID, ranking 3rd in math and 9th in reading improvement from 2019–2024.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — Tennessee ranks last in the nation for per-student public school spending, according to a new National Education Association report released after lawmakers approved an expansion of the state’s private school voucher program. newschannel9.com/news/local/ten…
