Inflation is up.

Unemployment is up.

Grocery prices are up.

Electricity costs are up.

And Donald Trump is spending his time doing this bullshit.

This is cool: #Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire says that he's been attending nursing school, via @aaronladdtv

“It's close to my heart. My mom is a nurse and my little sister was born muscular dystrophy..”

Love this 🙏🏻

Today I shared an incident that happened to me in law school. The experience is not uncommon, even today. As a 1L, I told a professor I was disabled, and as a result, I was threatened with an honor code violation and academic discipline.

REMINDER: Tanya McDowell got 12 yrs for sending her son to school in Norwalk CT while she ‘lived’ in Bridgeport even though she was homeless.

She was convicted of “stealing“ an education.

Felicity Huffman got 30 days for bribing her daughter into college.

I wonder whyTE?

[⚜️Sovereign⚜️ @sauvamemte]

Y’all went in that lady Carlee’s medical records to find out what happened to her. When they find out you were accessing someone medical records for giggles you will go to prison. Not only that you’ll lose all your licensing privileges in every state. Y’all behaving like animals.

Breaking News: Wesleyan University, a liberal arts college in Connecticut, ended legacy admissions, which help the children of alumni, just weeks after the Supreme Court’s ban on affirmative action. https://t.co/2UIdjHH3r9

Lauren Boebert is an asshole. She was handed a pin honoring the victims of Uvalde’s mass shooting & she THREW it in the trash. No acknowledgement. Just threw it in the trash. This is how a sitting Congresswoman treats gun violence victims. Beneath contempt.https://t.co/7uN98DVmzh

Breaking: U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan just ruled that Donald Trump will not get a new trial in the case he lost to E. Jean Carroll.

Kaplan not only said that Trump’s arguments were all “unpersuasive,” but also said that the idea that the court didn’t find that Trump raped her is not entirely correct.

Kaplan specifically said that “Carroll failed to prove that she was ‘raped’ within the meaning of the New York Penal Law,” but it’s not true “that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape.’ Kaplan went on to say, “Indeed, as the evidence at trial recounted below makes clear, the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that.”

So technically it sounds like the judge says Trump is a rapist, just not by the NY legal definition. Thoughts?

Today in 1946 WWII veteran Maceo Snipes was shot in his back by the KKK the day after he became the first Black person to cast a vote in Taylor County, Georgia.

After he was shot, Mr. Snipes walked three miles to the hospital with his mother. For six hours doctors left him waiting and bleeding. By the time he was seen, he needed a blood transfusion. The doctors said the hospital had no “black blood.” Snipes died two days later.

This is why I will vote in every election. The day I stop voting is the day I stop breathing. #FreshVotesBlue #BlackHistoryWithLana

Before you begin your thinkpiece, the Supreme Court DID NOT strike down Affirmative Action

Admission preferences for legacies, donors, employee families and special recommendations are still allowed

The Court struck down Affirmative Action For everyone except WHITE PEOPLE

[Jemele Hill @jemelehill]

34 percent of Harvard students are white. 43 percent of those students are either legacies, children of faculty, kin of donors or a recruited athlete. 75 percent of them would not have gotten in if not for special status (National Bureau of Economic Research).

But when in doubt, blame the Black people!

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

Donald Trump received unprecedented special treatment today.

1. No arrest.

2. No mugshot.

3. No bond.

4. No bail.

5. No travel restrictions.

This is 1000 times wrong.

[Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ @tribelaw]

Chutzpah defined: Saying Judge Merchant’s $35 donation to a couple Democratic groups 3 yrs ago disqualifies him from presiding over Trump’s NYC trial — but Judge Cannon’s lawless rulings for Trump re the Mar-a-Lago document search doesn’t disqualify her

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

This is great: neither MSNBC nor CNN is airing Donald Trump's "speech" right now in Bedminster, NJ. Rachel Maddow emphasizes that there is "a cost" to MSNBC airing lies & she is exactly right. Glad the media isn't giving Trump a free platform to lie & endanger democracy.

[Isaiah Martin @isaiahrmartin]

You're seeing in real time how disinformation works. This is an outright, intentional lie from someone who knows better.

Governor Abbott graduated from Vanderbilt Law, was a Supreme Court Justice in Texas, and was the Attorney General. He knows that Trump was not indicted by the DOJ or by President Biden, but by a grand jury of Floridians who heard the evidence presented and made a decision based on the rule of law. The DOJ or a President cannot 'indict' anyone at their whim.

I'm sure this isn't the first time you've seen this claim on your feed today. This lie is the passed around talking point that's being pushed out to allied Senators, Members of Congress, and Governors to repeat over and over again in hopes folks don't know any better — to distract from the substance of the indictment. It is a distraction from an action that deserves no excuses.

Unfortunately for all of them, lies only support a cracking foundation for so long.

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

When someone who choked a man to death is allowed to go home as if nothing happened…

We KNOW protests won’t stop chokeholds
Or police brutality
Or hate
Or racism, period

What we’re protesting is the “allowed-to-go-home-as-if-nothing-happened” part.

It’s the injustice, stupid

[New York Times Books @nytimesbooks]

An author was offered a deal with Scholastic, the largest children’s book publisher, but asked to remove references to racism. She refused. The case became an example of how the debate around book banning in schools has reached publishers. https://t.co/Bl3kUDqFyn
