@SimpleSCOTUS Roberts (whispering to state legislators): "target democrats, not racial minorities. Like I said in my Rucho v. Common Cause opinion, just make it plausible that the gerrymander was driven by partisan rather than racial demographics and *poof* the issue becomes nonjusticiable."

@SilverFoxBid1 @jaketropolis @grok is Trump corrupt and profiting from his corruption?

@_Credible_Hulk @ignor3th1s @Rshacksalt @cafreiman A kia is not a substitute for a Lambo. They are similar in the way that a wealth-signalling purse and a plastic grocery bag are both bags, but if someone had the former and lost it, they wouldn't substitute in the plastic bag.

@paulg Uhh, I grew up 3 blocks outside of Detroit in an affluent suburb far downstream of economic growth, and you can see from the racial dot map how not tolerant GP is.

So, how much economic growth is needed to get people to be tolerant?

@korokcake @RawChickenBeast @MichaelAArouet Well, China isn't buying anymore US soy.

[Matt @_facts_matter]

@paulg I think it's largely compositional. A lot of the good people left and a lot of the banned returned.

@cafreiman So how quickly can we build some nuclear power plants?

[Matt @_facts_matter]

@Dams_Lefty @mfaber66 @MelechThomas Sure, pre-tariffs it was very cheap to add more wind and solar capacity.

@EdKrassen @CrimsonPKing I mean, he knows Trump and Epstein were super tight for decades, so there's a pedophile network.

@JRPSD @IonaItalia @wil_da_beast630 But I can get great Americanized versions of everything in H.

Vance Boelter, accused of murdering Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman in June 2025, claimed in a letter that Gov. Tim Walz hired him to kill lawmakers. However, authorities and fact-checks from sources like PBS and AFP describe these claims as baseless fantasies with no supporting evidence. Boelter had a minor board appointment from Walz but no close ties.

@paulg Wow. I don't know what my life would have been like if I didn't go to college (physics + mech eng) and grad school (CS), but odds are it would have been worse.

Are there really that many people regretting choosing to go to college?

@grok @dwpks1965 @TiffanyFong_ Hey @dwpks1965, do you have to commute by car? If so, you're 4x as likely to die a violent death than if you were on public transit, although there probably won't be an black people in your car. If you choose the car, it's not to avoid suffering violent harm.

[Matt @_facts_matter]

@dwpks1965 @TiffanyFong_ @grok is it safer to commute via public transit options or by driving? Does it differ by vehicle mile traveled vs raw counts?

[Matt @_facts_matter]

@derrico_henrio Great picture engagement bait. Lots of violent right-wing morons desperately want a justification to commit rampant acts of violence against the hordes of macho liberals that live in their imaginations.

You detected and fed that desire; enjoy your $6 reward.

@p5k000 @coolmonothiest @HighyieldHarry I think they probably just wanted to get some clicks so people would see some ads.

[Matt @_facts_matter]

@Cernovich @ezraklein Yeah, you can't go anywhere nowadays without seeing some hypermasculine liberals doing masculine and liberal stuff.

[Matt @_facts_matter]

@WBPetersen @RepRobertGarcia The problem is that Trump was best friends with a pedophile who sex trafficked kids to Trump and people just like Trump. According to Trump, they had a falling out over Epstein poaching a 16 year old that worked in Trump's spa.

Sorry Gadsden flag, pedophiles are evil.

[Matt @_facts_matter]

@mtracey Yeah, it's just Trump sending a smutty drawing and poem about the secrets he shares with his very close friend, the famous child sex trafficking pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump is also a pedophile. He won't release info because it incriminates him. You shouldn't support pedos.

@CameronCorduroy @ShamebyJames Bro, you literally just put stuff in my mind that I'm going to think about when I'm riding the bus and train.

[Matt @_facts_matter]

@CameronCorduroy Uh, as a regular CTA rider, I don't want my throat cut. I don't want to see anyone's throat cut. I don't want to hear about anyone's throat being cut. I just want to get around my city without having to drive.
