"Appearing...in McCain’s home state, [Biden] announced that he would direct federal money left over from the Covid-19 relief plan passed in early 2021 to help build a new library honoring the senator."

Pretty sure that money should be used for healthcare:

White guy started fight from moving vehicle, no one pulled a weapon on him. He got out of his car, closed the gap, and died after hitting the ground from a punch.

Ian will never let a good opportunity to race bait go to waste, despite never having stepped foot in America.

This is one of the most horrific things you will hear this week, if not this month or this year. He’s laughing as he describes her death. If you don’t want to defund stuff like this, then I don’t know what to say to you.

Nothing they love more than a lynch mob

This is why it’s all cops. All of them.

As Jim Jordan tries to inserts his committee improperly into state prosecutions once again, a reminder of why he is even in Congress in the first place. This is his district in Ohio. One of the most gerrymandered in the nation.

More fundamentally—this is about how politicians wield state power in the US to protect capitalism

& to serve the political interests of the wealthiest people in the world

INCLUDING longtime mob affiliate Don Trump

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Kinda both…? 🤷🏾‍♀️

it’s the neoliberal “bipartisan” establishment that’s dominated power since Reagan

they protected Trump & enabled the resurgence of far right fascism

everyone else—who are generally more liberal or to the left of them largely remain locked out of power

Elon Musk is a native son of white settler colonialism

The basis of his wealth & power is his father stealing emeralds in Zambia

[Zoe Tillman @ZoeTillman]

Donald Trump is facing a new legal push to keep him off of 2024 ballots -- the latest case was filed in Colorado state court by voters, backed by a group that previously succeeded in going to court to get a Jan. 6 defendant removed from office.

BREAKING: Republicans in the Alabama legislature ignored the Supreme Court and continued its practice of diluting the Black vote through gerrymandered districts.

Now, a federal court has cut them out of the process and has appointed a special master to draw a fair map.

Let’s be clear: Jill P. carter is absolutely correct.

This is interesting. Amateurism is already dead. Isn’t the issue just whether a college athlete is enrolled in school as a full-time student in good standing? Any college athlete can make a paid appearance, why disallow actual earnings?

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

They objected to literal Florida Supreme Court rulings. 😑

e.g. FL Supreme Court unanimously ruled in 1865 that “there is no evil against which the policy of our laws is more pointedly directed than that of allowing slaves to have any other status than that of pure slavery.”

[Jerome Adams @JeromeAdamsMD]

IDK who needs to hear this, but most US hospitals completely stopped testing non respiratory admissions for covid-19 a LONG time ago.

In other words, most all those being admitted with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome… have severe acute respiratory symptoms.

Coincidence? 🤔

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

there is no actual presidential primary occurring right now in any US political party what are people talking about lol

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

You can’t invite the people who tried to overthrow the country’s last election to participate in the next election

That’s why the US is in this political stalemate with no real process for choosing candidates

Because the basic elements of a democratic election are absent

The white homeownership rate is ~75%. Asians is ~65%
No other group is above 50%. Those 2 also have the, highest pay, net worth & life expectancy

The wealth gap would drastically increase bc this would give an economic advantage to ppl who already enjoy an economic advantage.
