@annamlulis Fantastic

This is the most powerful picture taken at the Kentucky derby Two brothers Moments after crossing the finish line Irad Ortiz Jr., who finished 2nd, grabs his brother’s arm, Jose Ortiz, to celebrate his 1st place win This is what matters. Not trophies—family

@Milajoy I was misinformed

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. Say hello to my little friend. I'll be back. No one puts baby in a corner. What is the BEST movie quote of ALL TIME?

@MarcRyanOnAir @jasonbenetti The absolute best

Jason Benetti: “I was always fearful about two things. Not getting a job because of how I look…and getting a job because of how I look.” Maybe it’s just me, but @jasonbenetti’s condition never occurs to me. Ever. I’m too busy enjoying the best broadcaster I’ve ever heard.

@marceelias For racists, sure

It’s no exaggeration to say this was among the worst weeks for voting rights in our history. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/th…

@IlliniJen @ChicagoContrar1 @BTnewsroom Celebrating all forms of diversity, other than thought.

Stacy Davis Gates and her circus seals are at it again. All echo chamber, no original thought. 🎥 @BTnewsroom (right)

@ForgiatoBlow47 Bad outcome — he should also have been awarded at least half of the taxpayer money that would have been used to keep the scumbag alive in prison.

Father who beat man to death for raping his 5 year old daughter face no charges in texas RIGHT OR WRONG

@Ikopima09 Practicing with water might have been a little smarter.

She didn’t get yelled at or hit. Instead she was allowed to make mistakes until she figured it out.

@wahlstedt007 The weasels who make up our grifting political class are united by a single mission: pit the people against each other so ignore the real enemy. We would be far better off as a nation if we randomly drafted people to serve in Congress.

As a German, I find the political situation in United States very stressful. How hard must it be for the American people???

@ewarren Thank God

Did you know that Donald Trump could appoint two more Supreme Court Justices?

@Alt_Azn Writers for the New Yorker are DEFINITELY fringe weirdos.

During the Woke Era, I would listen to lefty podcasts and they would discuss “prison abolition” as if it were a legitimate position. And these weren’t fringe weirdos, they were writers for The New Yorker. Now they’re pretending like it never happened.

@elonmusk Clearly demonstrating their commitment to their core value: diversity

🤔

@adammanross You go, boy

Al Gore lost in 2000 as a centrist. John Kerry lost in 2004 as a centrist. Hillary lost in 2016 as a centrist. Kamala lost 2024 as a centrist. If we’re going to win the 2026 midterms, we must abandon centrism all together. If the Democratic Party is to survive we must go left

@AdamSinger Tit for tat — the teachers allow naked disinterest and apply low standards, and the students reciprocate by tolerating incompetent and ineffective instruction

I don't understand why smartphones were ever allowed in schools in the first place. We weren't even allowed to take out a graphing calculator outside of very specific math or science classes. Did everyone just give up on rules and decorum at some point

@JenSiebelNewsom Interesting that they did exactly the opposite of what you claim.

The very foundation of the United States is our commitment to democracy. Today, the current Supreme Court majority voted against that, ultimately saying that some voters matter more than others. California will continue to fight for our democracy, for the American people, and the values of the Voting Rights Act.

@JudiciaryDems “Scenario”

This is what the Supreme Court conservative supermajority just enabled.

@SwipeWright They’re woke and clairvoyant

An update on my lawsuit against Cornell for their secret and illegal search for a "diversity hire" evolutionary biologist. In short, Cornell isn't even contesting the fact that their job search was racially discriminatory. They're instead trying to argue that I left academia and wouldn't have applied to it even if the job search was posted publicly. That's very revealing. But this is false: While I did leave my academic position at Penn State in 2020, I was still searching for, and applying to, academic jobs in addition to non-academic jobs. I applied to a different position at Cornell months before their racist job search because I had specific interest in working there. And I applied to @uaustinorg in 2021. I have the applications to prove it. I would have applied to their 2020 evolutionary biology position had it been posted publicly (which they were required to do) and not been race-based (which is illegal). Cornell wants to make this all go away. But we're not going away. They got caught, and are now being held accountable.

@PeteButtigieg Because racists, like you, believe blacks can only be represented by “people who look like them.”

Today's Supreme Court decision reverses hard-won progress under the Voting Rights Act. It means less representation for millions of Black Americans and other voters of color, as lawmakers gain greater ability to manipulate their districts. There will be more extreme partisan gerrymandering, lopsided elections, less accountable government, and policies that hurt rather than help with everyday life. But this is no time to be demoralized, because we know it does not have to be this way. We can mobilize around reform, new laws, and where necessary, constitutional amendments for fairer government. Only then can we feel the benefits of a balanced Court, a truly representative Congress, and an election system free from the distorting power of extreme corporate and partisan manipulation.

@MrAndyNgo Thereby revealing their own racism

The liberal city of Ann Arbor, Mich. has removed its last "neighborhood crime watch" sign in a move meant to be more welcoming to blacks and people of color. The woke believe that law and order are anti-black and anti-POC, hence they call for abolishment. thepostmillennial.com/ann-arbor-remo…

@BarackObama Get off of my cloud

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach. The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

@EndWokeness “The road to hell is paved with good intentions” seems to apply here, and to many woke delusions.

Ann Arbor, MI removes 600 anti-crime signs to be "inclusive" & "welcoming"
