@GiveMeADouble @chrisgeidner Equal rights under the law isn't Jim Crow. The Supreme Court agrees which is why they fixed an injustice. You can't explain how their rights are harmed in any way. You neither understand what Jim Crow is nor care to.

"... the recent ruling by the SCOTUS striking down race-based districts."
This isn't what SCOTUS did, kids.
The ruling was about whether discriminatory effects were sufficient proof; here there was a finding of discriminatory intent.
Ted Nightingale@tedjnightingale
@chrisgeidner The court wants to draw race-based maps in defiance of Alabama’s legislature and the recent ruling by the SCOTUS striking down race-based districts. I don't think it is hyperbole to say that this court is attempting to interfere in an upcoming election for partisan purposes.

I love the implication that immigrants flaunting success is coming from a vacuum, and not a reaction to inbreds telling them to go back home.
If you’re actually hurt by this, I think your ancestors would tell you to stop being such a pussy.

I'm a mess, which is a bad time to tweet. It's Memorial Day, which means I've spent a lot of today thinking about the past, about the lost, about the people who built the world that we have inherited. But I've also been thinking about @xwanyex recent commentary about the nature of immigration and who "deserves" a country Today is Memorial Day. I went to the graves of my brother and my grandfather. I owe them so much. So does everyone. They did a lot of underappreciated work. Many of the immigration tweets Wanye points to are people saying "I succeeded in your country while you failed. Ha ha ha, I'm awesome and you suck". And, sure, this might be a particularly caustic example of that attitude, but is it really that rare? If immigrants love this country in particular, do they love the people who made it? Because they don't frequently say so. And if they love the people who made this country, the country that enabled them to have all the good things that they brag about, do they love the children of those people? Are they thankful to the grandchildren of the people who built the country that enabled their wild success? Or do they hold those grandchildren in disdain? How would a grandparent who built a world of tremendous opportunity and success respond if they saw someone who benefitted from that world telling their grandchild that they were a piece of garbage because they didn't build a billion dollar company? I'm thinking about this a lot now, largely because it's being shoved in my face. I'm not feeling particularly forgiving about this topic.

@Shoestring_Lab @GayBearRes You can try. Make sure you’re the first one through the door.
English
@GayBearRes My ancestors would have driven them into the snow to die a cold death.
I would like to believe we are more civilized than that now, so we are just going to make them all go home.
English
@GayBearRes My ancestors would be doing things to you that wouldn't be allowed in a modern civilized society if they were here right now, you should consider yourself lucky you're dealing with me and not them

You fucking piece of shit cocksucker. I’m a naturalized American citizen who has been to war twice for America while you’ve lectured on endlessly about how immigrants hate this country.
Fuck you and every one else who thinks like you.

@tedjnightingale @chrisgeidner Lol decades of nullifying black voters and now carving up their political base with non-compact districts and you think it’s equality. It’s telling that you’re advocating for Jim Crow policies because god forbid minority voters have power in this country.
English
@GiveMeADouble @chrisgeidner Black registered voters in Alabama can still vote however they want to. Their rights are unharmed. Additionally, removing race-based districts implements equality under the law. The fact that being treated equally upsets you is telling.
English
@tedjnightingale @chrisgeidner Because you cunts will throw out every other rule about how districts should be maintained in order to make sure that race will have no political power whatsoever.
English
@GiveMeADouble @chrisgeidner Why would there be special districts for one specific race? That is a racist position.
English
@tedjnightingale @chrisgeidner Equality is when we strip black voters of representation by dissecting cities like Memphis and Little Rock. Good point, sport.
English
@GiveMeADouble @chrisgeidner That is a red herring. Making a racially based district is innately racially prejudiced (duh). It suggests there are tiers to American citizenship while rejecting equality.
English
@tedjnightingale @chrisgeidner According to two Trump appointed judges, yes there was.
English
@chrisgeidner Is this discriminatory intent in the room with us right now?

Trump has arrived at Walter Reed. (Photo via @kentnish.)
White House schedule has him there for the next few hours.
Dan Diamond@ddiamond
Trump is set to visit Walter Reed on Tuesday for his 3rd checkup in 13 months. The White House touts reports he's in "exceptional" health. Outside physicians said there are legitimate health questions about the nearly 80-year-old president. wapo.st/4f5wJ4j

@Gina2026A @JohnJHarwood Lol and he can lose. Fantastic. Looking forward to all of it. You people deserve nothing.
English
@GiveMeADouble @JohnJHarwood Cool.
Then Trump can restart his $10 billion lawsuit instead.
You idiots would rather that over the $1.8 billion.
Fools.

Biden was not president
when Trump's tax returns were leaked
Trump was
the lying by Republicans like Mike Lawler is utterly shameless
Face The Nation@FaceTheNation
When asked about the recent settlement that prevents the IRS from auditing any Trump family tax records, Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) says President Trump “obviously had claims that he brought against the government as a result of” the Biden administration. “I think when it comes to any agreements that the president has made with the IRS, from my vantage point, you know, I think looking back at what the Biden administration did,” he says. “They certainly weaponized the government and were targeting the president.”
English
@FloridaManV @HistoryBoomer So now, Republicans don’t want poor old ladies paying taxes. They also don’t want billionaires to pay taxes. And corporations don’t have to pay taxes either. Awesome.
“BuT tHe DeBt!!”

@HistoryBoomer It ok to be grades.
A poor old lady in a doublewide can get by with paying little or no taxes IMHO

As an almost senior (62), this is dumb.
Young people shouldn't be pulling all the weight.

@eddie351962 @Hamiltonstears So the woman served jail time and wasn’t pardoned?
English
@Hamiltonstears In 1983 a leftist terrorist group blew up the captital building and destroy Sen Byrd’s office and caused a gust yet million in damage. Susan Rosenberg was sentenced to jail but Clinton commuted her sentence. Leftists damaged capital building first

The J6 rioters were not "political prisoners," they were violent criminals convicted by juries across the country.140 cops were injured by these violent thugs. With 1000s of hours of video on Jan. 6th including from the rioters themselves it was the most recorded crime in US history. Approx 260 trials were held across the country & only 2 people were acquitted. The rest pleaded guilty (because they were). Not one defendant won a motion for selective or malicious prosecution or failure to disclose issues.

Andrew Hernandez, 🇺🇸 J6 Political Prisoner@J_6_Patriot
Congress must pass a law protecting January 6th political prisoners as a targeted class of American citizens whose civil rights have been systematically violated. We've endured persecution, prosecution, prison time, financial ruin, ruined reputations, destroyed careers, families torn apart, endless media lies, a fraudulent narrative in history books, and even a Capitol plaque falsely labeling us insurrectionists when not a single person was charged with insurrection. This selective political persecution must end. America demands equal justice.
English
@eddie351962 @Hamiltonstears Any of them get pardoned or promised money from the government?
English
@Hamiltonstears Just how many leftist riots has there been since Jan 6? 500 or so? Burning teslas, burning fed buildings in Portland and Seattle, attacking ICe detention centers in Texas, various ass@ssintions attempts, tearing down fences in no kings protests
English
@bv9122 @Hamiltonstears So Trump is going to pay professional agitators $1.776B?
English
@Hamiltonstears The J6 rioters were not "political prisoners," they were paid professional agitators and provocateurs posing as Trump supporters. Idiots are abundant...

Clickbait. Everybody got their autograph and selfie, the passage to the hotel was kept free for guests, and I still got to the airport on time. One man, no security. Handled. What’s your problem ?

@Amenttttt @CartoonsHateHer @AlyssaLogic Because to do anything, you have to have a job. Real wages, as in adjusted for inflation, have gone up 12% since 2009. But okay man, no point in continuing this further. People can continue complaining about expensive lunches despite being given reasonable alternatives.
English
@GiveMeADouble @CartoonsHateHer @AlyssaLogic Why is unemployment the marker? Idu
Their purchasing power is lower than ever
English
I covered DoorDash discourse, the fact that people have confused "ideal weekday lunch" with "bare minimum for human survival," and how this revolution of rising expectations impacts our decisions about marriage and children. Link in replies.
English
@Amenttttt @CartoonsHateHer Their barrier to housing is certainly high but millennials contended with the same issues on college and healthcare and we didn’t even have the ACA.
English
@GiveMeADouble @CartoonsHateHer Idk that unemployment is that great of a marker - particularly since today’s young people have AI looming. They’re getting out of expensive college and the jobs are gone
Their barrier to entry to college, healthcare and housing is very very high. Higher than ever before
