@Martina Their decision was striking down the racist districting so you have this exactly backwards.

Wow. These justices are either raging racists or are totally compromised and bought etc…

@shonkori @ClayTravis @BestMovieMom @RealEmirHan Hayden Christiansen's stiff and awkward performance is perfectly in line with Mark Hamill's stiff and awkward performance in "A New Hope." That was the B-movie vibe for which Lucas was going.

@ClayTravis you nailed it with ESB but lost me with ROTS (2005) heavy reliance on CGI and lightsabers was not enough to save a poor screenplay. And don't get me started on Hayden Christiansen 😳 cc: @BestMovieMom @RealEmirHan

In honor of May the 4th: the four best Star Wars movies in order: Empire Strikes Back, Revenge of the Sith, the original Star Wars, & Return of the Jedi. If you disagree, you’re wrong. This is the correct ranking.

@ClayTravis Nice to see Sith get some respect. It's not a perfect movie, but if you don't love it, you don't love Star Wars.

@NoaDalzell Who he is considering to replace Joe Mazzulla.

Brad Stevens will be addressing the media tomorrow morning at the Auerbach Center What do you want to know?

@noiseux_r @Joshua749535264 @MattMcCarthy985 Brad traded for White. Ainge was gone by then.

White wasn’t Brad. Like I said in my post. Made a good trade for jrue that put them over the top to win a chip. Absolutely. Anyone could have made that trade and saw that would greatly help the team. He gets credit for trading for Simmons, but gets no criticism for trading him for a 35 year center that doesnt see the floor in game 7?

Make no mistake about it: this series will be totally worth it if Mazzulla gets axed. He’s a clear and present danger to the franchise. He’s that bad. I fear they’ll let him keep getting away with this.

@azmatlanba @celticsblog Fire Joe. He is way over his head.

NEW for @celticsblog The Celtics didn’t lose because they lacked answers, they lost because they found them too late. In a Game 7 defined by hesitation, the right adjustments came after the damage was already done. The Celtics waited too long to be right celticsblog.com/celtics-analys…

@MeSharkk_ @KeithSmithNBA Joe has to go. He is not a good playoff coach.

@KeithSmithNBA It’s time for this offensive philosophy to die, or Joe has to go. At some point you have to actually coach and tell the team to stop hoisting 3’s down 1 singular point

Congrats to the Sixers. Absolutely controlled the last few games of the series. Celtics blew it. Can't play with your food. Have to close out series when you have the opportunity. There is a lot of work to be done this summer for Boston with this roster if they want to be title contenders again.

@TONYxTWO In fairness to Kamala, she doesn't have any children and did not raise that girl.

You can tell a lot about a person by looking at their children

@ChristopherHale What a load of crap. No one is murdering the poor. It isn't legal to kill immigrants. These comparisons to abortion are beyond stupid.

Bishop-elect Robert Boxie III, 45, is now the youngest Catholic bishop in the United States. Appointed by Pope Leo XIV, he gave a rousing homily at the 2019 March for Life, encouraging tens of thousands of participants to be pro-life, not just anti-abortion. “How can you love the life you do not see in the womb if you do not love those lives you do see — the sick, the stranger, and the poor?”

@newrepublic So Congress gets to pass any law it wants post-Civil War and the Supreme Court no longer gets to judge its consitutionality? Is that Kagan's wacko view?

The Voting Rights Act “was born of the literal blood of Union soldiers and civil rights marchers,” Justice Elena Kagan wrote in her dissent. “Only [the American people] have the right to say it is no longer needed—not the members of this Court.” trib.al/OGutbOd

@NCRonline This is evil. Your publication is not Catholic. Pope Francis said transgenderism is like nuclear war. Why did you fail to mention that?

OPINION: The Catholic Church is not a static entity fully and perfectly formed, but our hope is that it doesn't take another 500 years to acknowledge the realities of the LGBTQ+ community. bit.ly/4cTF1Lb

@Adi13 Without the Jews, there wouldn't be any Christians.

Without the Jews, Christians wouldn’t have the Bible. This might be controversial, but it’s the true.

@hf_222222 @BrianPFlanagan How has Leo intervened exactly? He hasn't. He could just order the German bishops not to proceed and remove them if they disobey. He hasn't done either of those things. And his recent comments sure implied that the German actions are acceptable in the name of "unity."

This piece, from @BrianPFlanagan, just seems unbelievably tendentious and bad faith to me. Leo has *repeatedly* intervened to make clear the Germans' dissent & disobedience here is unacceptable - Trying to spin him like this is downright offensive. newwaysministry.org/2026/04/30/mix…

@MarkJWilliams23 @ChristopherHale "Equity" is pure evil. It means treating people as representatives of ethnic groups rather than as individuals. And it means discriminating against (or in favor of) individuals on the basis of their ethnic group rather than their individual merits. It's unAmerican.

This appointment comes at this hour when the Supreme Court, with a majority of Catholic justices, chose to gut the Voting Rights Act of 1965, arguably one of the most consequential legacies of MLK being thrown to the wayside. Just shameful and especially coming from Catholic justices. Their blindness towards racism in our Republic and handing a victory to Donald Trump void of the true historical context of African Americans struggle to vote and be represented across our nation is pathetic and so contrary to the Gospel they were taught but sadly do not always practice, where all brothers and sisters are loved - which could not be any more constitutional. Prelates in our Church must lead the resurrection of DEI, for diversity is our strength both as a Church and nation. Pope Leo is sending a very strong message to Trump and his enablers with this move right in Washington. Amen 🙏

NEW: Pope Leo XIV appoints the youngest bishop in the United States. Robert Boxie III, 46, is a new auxiliary bishop of Washington. Boxie has been outspoken against the White House’s attacks against racial diversity. “It’s really frustrating — especially this moment that we’re living in. The attacks on ‘DEI’ — I don’t even know what that means anymore. It’s a term that’s been hijacked. It means a lot of things to a lot of different people.” “I think at its core, it’s what America is all about. We are a diverse nation with people from all over the world. Diversity is a good thing. Diversity is of God.” “And the fact that it’s been turned into something negative — or something that should be avoided or not talked about — just flies in the face of who we are as Americans.” “So much of our history has been exclusive, especially when it comes to race. And it’s just un-American; it’s un-Christian; it’s anti-Catholic.”

@jtamblyn1 @bonchieredstate That's true. The discovery would have to be relevant to the allegations or potentially to the plaintiff's reputation or to any other alleged damages.

@jbrooks33 @bonchieredstate Defense would be required to show relevancy of anything they request. As in evidence that points to those activities revealing relevant information. If Candace as zero evidence to make a claim, she doesn't get full access to their personal effects and information.

Imagine thinking this is how lawsuits work.

@holysmoke Leo already said he doesn't care. Sexual issues have no importance to him, and he isn't going to press the Germans on this because he prefers "unity" to truth.

I don’t think this Pope will allow his vetoes to be dismissed. The sequel to this will be very revealing, one way or another.

@SagaciousMick @bonchieredstate Who said anything about God-tier access?

@jbrooks33 @bonchieredstate No, you do not get God-tier access to every bit and byte of available data about a person's life, just to enable an open-ended search for anything you might want to use against him, because he has sued you. The scope is limited to clearly relevant info, because of course it is.

@craigameyer @NolteNC @seanmdav Which is NOT The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

@NolteNC @seanmdav Greta Gerwig, the BARBIE director, is helming the project.

A new adaptation of "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" is coming this Christmas. Netflix is producing, so I'm guessing Aslan will look like this...

@NolteNC It's not The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. It's the Magician's Nephew.

@json0082 @UncleBadger1 @bonchieredstate It might be that there are no relevant phone messages, call logs, or flight logs because her crazy conspiracy theory is totally made up BS. But that is a very different point than "that's not how lawsuits work."

@jbrooks33 @UncleBadger1 @bonchieredstate Those powers are limited to items relevant to the case. They don't get free reign.
