Wow! Just freakin wow! DISGUSTING… This is not justice, this is trying to make an example!!!

[RealTimBlack @RealTimBlack]

Let me be clear about what just happened in the Karmelo Anthony verdict. Because the celebration is traveling and the discrepancies aren't.

FACT: Karmelo Anthony was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 35 years.

FACT: The jury deliberated for less than 3 hours.

FACT: There were zero Black jurors on this jury.

FACT: The prosecution used peremptory strikes to remove 100% of eligible Black jurors while keeping a white educator after claiming they didn't want educators on the jury.

FACT: Karmelo Anthony never stood up. The confrontation happened while he was seated. Austin Metcalf was standing over him.

FACT: The jury had the option to choose manslaughter. They chose murder.

FACT: The "sudden passion" defense which would have capped the sentence at 2 to 20 years was rejected.

FACT: Karmelo Anthony's mother was the only witness called during the punishment phase. She asked for mercy. The prosecutor responded: "Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent."

FACT: Karmelo Anthony will be eligible for parole after serving half his sentence, roughly 17.5 years. He is 19 years old.

Now ask yourself, if the races and sizes were reversed, if Karmelo was 6'1" standing over a seated smaller white teenager who reached up with a knife, does this even go to trial?

You already know the answer.

Say his name. Karmelo Anthony.

Stay Dangerous.

at the end of the show. Of course we were offended...but our frequency, our spiritual vibration is tuned to a higher level than what happened. I am not steal, this did not bounce off of me, but I exist above it. It can't take away from who I am as an artist.

[HannahBeachler @HannahEBeachler]

And a third time at a Black woman. I understand and deeply know why this is an impossible situation. I know we must handle this with grace and continue to push through. But what made the situation worse was the throw away apology of "if you were offended"

[HannahBeachler @HannahEBeachler]

I keep trying to write about what happened at the BAFTAs, and I can't find the words. The situation is almost impossible, but it happened 3 times that night, and one of the three times was directed at myself on the way to dinner after the show.

Mitch McConnell was elected to the U.S. Senate when I was two weeks old. Now, I’m the Democratic front runner to replace him.

[Josh Shapiro @JoshShapiroPA]

Donald Trump will never run our elections in Pennsylvania — something the President and his allies should remember after going 0-43 against us in court last time they tried to throw out our votes.

We will always protect the sanctity of our elections here in our Commonwealth.

An image we won't soon forget. Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to look at Epstein survivors pictured behind her on the Hill today.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

Pam Bondi is an evil bitch.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Rep. Jesús García comes out swinging: "You're one of the worst attorney generals in our history and an instrument of Donald Trump's lawless authoritarian agenda, and I'm glad the American people are seeing who you are."

[CSPAN @cspan]

.@RepJasmine Crockett to @AGPamBondi on Epstein files: "I'm not saying that the President is a pedophile. But there is a lot of evidence in these files that suggests that he's very close friends with a lot of men who are pedophiles."

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett @RepJasmine]

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity.

America deserves better.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Dear @AGPamBondi: You did the one thing your king ordered you not to do: you made Trump look guilty.

You also lied under oath.

And you surveilled the search history of Congress Members.

We are impeaching you when we flip the House. Unless you resign first.

Good evening.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @RedistrictAct and tell your member of Congress to vote no: https://t.co/Cc4JHKr73Q

[Ethical American @AmericanEthical]

This is funny because it’s painfully accurate. 😂

Serious question: does Trump have any actual grown men left backing him?
Doesn’t look like it. Just a shrinking crowd of insecure cheerleaders propping up a serial bankrupt with six failed businesses and zero spine.

If you’re still riding for him at this point, it’s not strength, it’s weakness cosplaying as loyalty. And it shows. The world is laughing at you. Time to bounce off “bros” 😂👠👠👠 #TrumpEpsteinCoverup

Still the most Powerful Scene in Television History (IMO)…..Broke me then…Broke me now!

[Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸 @JudiciaryDems]

Sen. DURBIN: One day, the Trump presidency will end. But the statute of limitations for crimes committed by this Administration will extend beyond that date. This will allow accountability & criminal charges for government officials who violated people’s constitutional rights.

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Don Lemon: “That is just plain old racism. Karoline Leavitt had the nerve to say this is just a joke. Are you out of your fucking mind Karoline Leavitt? No, no, no. There is nothing funny about depicting anybody as apes or monkeys. It is revolting. So Karoline Leavitt, fuck off.”

[Blue Georgia @BlueGeorgia]

Bill Maher on Trump's racist post: If it's a cartoon character, it's okay? That's a rule now? So, it's okay if somebody made a cartoon of Elmer Fudd shooting Charlie Kirk, that would be okay? You fucking hypocrites.
