Smidge of Truth

@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.

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…

@iAnonPatriot lol- 100% bullshit.

Black people are now claiming that Texas Roadhouse always seats “colored people” in the back of their restaurants.. 👀

@HeartlandSignal @ErinMayeQuade Giving them free stuff sure as heck is not motivating them to work, try again lefty.

Minnesota State Sen. @ErinMayeQuade (DFL-Apple Valley) says the state Senate is being forced to cut more than 150,000 Minnesotans from Medicare because of work requirements mandated by the Trump administration and congressional Republicans. "It is despicable and unacceptable, and the people in Congress, the Republicans in Congress and White House who made this happen, will get to report back to their billionaire CEO donors that they did the job, while Minnesotans get sicker and go hungry and potentially die. We are doing everything we can as Senate DFLers to soften the blow, but let's be real: This is a gut punch, and it didn't have to happen."

@WhiteGirl1776 Uncle Sam is not your Sugar Daddy.

Welfare-funded chaos: Black teens brawling in the hood with baseball bats and hammers. Single moms, no dads, endless checks = this. Tax dollars at work.

@MAGA_X_Times If you have ever had to sit next to a fatty on an airplane, you know how crappy this situation is for the flying public. Paying for the space one's body occupies is only fair.

Meet Janielle Wiseman, this young lady went to check her bag for her Southwest flight, when she arrived at the service counter she was told she would not be allowed to board unless she purchased another seat, according to her this is the first time SouthWest has ever enforced their “passenger size limit” and SHE fits in the seat comfortably and SouthWest is “discriminating” against her 🙄 She claims because of her size she always chooses an aisle seat, keeping the aisle clear is a strictly enforced imperative, so that would require the arm going up and space encroachment of the center seat. Of course she needs early boarding because of her ankle, what would you do if upon boarding you discovered you had the seat next to Janielle ? She made it to her destination, after purchasing another seat, hopefully she will be in the computer and unable to exploit online ticket purchases to game the system.

@catturd2 Their customers will now move to ruin your flight with their shenanigans.

See ya ✌️

“Red against yellow will kill a fellow.” I was taught that as a kid and have used it many times throughout my life.

“I’ve been heavily involved in the Nashville mayoral race because I hate this city. I hate the bachelorettes, I hate the pedal taverns, I hate country music, I hate all of the things that make Nashville apparently an ‘it city’ to the rest of the country. But I hate it.” ~Aftyn Behn

@MemphisHoller It proves congressional districts were gerrymandered to promote one race over another.

There it is. Any questions?
