When I got into Stanford the first time, my high school classmates told me it was because I was brown to my face in our calculus class. But they didn’t take into account that I begged my mom for an old SAT blue book at a thrift store - that was my test prep. (1/4)
Dear @TedCruz: Should we deport your Dad?
He fled oppression. He gave up everything to give his family a good life. He overstayed his visa. Yet the US granted him asylum...
Just like all the other "illegals" you bash.
But his only real crime was bringing you here.
Because while your Dad's work ethic represented the best in America, you represent the worst.
You demonize asylum seekers like him. You even wrote a bill to ship immigrants to Martha's Vineyard.
Like your Dad, my father escaped his country, came to America, and created a world of hope for his kids. We love him for it, and repay him by helping build this nation of immigrants to be the best it can be – for everyone.
You, on the other hand, repay your Dad by treating your fellow immigrants as pawns in your sick game – including HIM... on FATHER'S DAY.
It sure looks like you're trying to get him deported. Should we?
It would be an epic follow up to the biggest slap in the face you ever gave him – helping the guy who accused your Dad of assassinating JFK – Donald Trump – lead a coup to overthrow the country your father fought to stay in?
But... sorry, Ted. Most of America is not as cruel as you. Your Dad sounds like he did the right thing. Let's keep him here.
Instead, how about this?
I'll give you $100 to put in your underwear, and then pay to ship you from our home state of Texas, and out to any place that will take you. Cuba? Canada?
Cancun?
truly a garbage system to pay for higher education that people need to ask for suicide advice on reddit to ponder if they can relieve their co-signer’s debt burden
"Gentrifiers" are only people moving into cheaper neighborhoods because nice ones are too expensive, they're in the same predicament as the people they're replacing!!
Getting mad at "gentrifiers" is soooo dumb.
People don't gentrify, they're following market forces!!
Get mad at the conditions that create these incentives instead of the individual people!!
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) says migrants can't be coming to the U.S. to escape climate change because the U.S. has natural disasters:
"We [had] 97 natural disasters in 2021 ... not very safe for migrants here in America ... How many are they having in their country?"
🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: The Bible has been removed from all elementary and middle school libraries throughout the Davis School District in Utah after a parent utilized a new law that permits the removal of "pornographic" books from school libraries.
The removal of the Bible was requested due to it being "one of the most sex-ridden books around."
The Utah Legislature in 2022 approved a contentious bill HB374, which lawmakers have described as a way to weed out content found to be pornographic from K-12 libraries and classrooms.
Utah Parents United, a conservative parents rights lobbied strongly for the passing of HB374.
The parent argued that the Bible contained topics such as incest, bestiality, genital mutilation, and infanticide, making it pornographic under the new definition set forth in Utah Code Ann. § 76-10-1227.
A GOP lawmaker expressed sadness regarding the situation.
Well this happened on the floor of the Missouri House before they passed a Trans affirming heathcare ban. Final vote was 108-50 only 3 Republicans dissented.

she was selected by the royal family, who required that his wife be both high society and a virgin. he was aging and his “eligible bachelor” status was quickly waning. today we’d call this an arranged marriage
🚨🚨🚨Holy shit. In newly released deposition footage, Donald Trump suggests under oath that E. Jean Carroll “loved” being sexually assaulted by him.
The footage is significant for two major reasons.
First, it sounds like Trump is ADMITTING he sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll.
Secondly, Trump clearly mischaracterizes E. Jean Carroll’s remarks on CNN. where she spoke about people’s general perception about rape.
Trump’s comments clearly speak for themselves:
TRANSCRIPT:
Trump: “Actually she indicated that she loved it.”
She loved it. She loved it. Until commercial break. It was sexy. It was very sexy to be raped. Didn’t she say that?”
LAWYER: “Sir, I just want to confirm, it’s your testimony that E. Jean Carroll said she loved being sexually assaulted by you?”
Trump: “Well based on her interview with Anderson Cooper, I believe that’s what took place.”
By all accounts, Trump’s deposition was a complete disaster for him.
Every time footage is released it gets worse and worse for him. And thankfully, it was all seen by the jury.
E. Jean Carroll deserves Justice.
Minnesota State Sen. Jim Abeler (R-Anoka), debating a recreational marijuana bill, says the 1936 movie "Reefer Madness" made some good points, and that as a reformed cannabis user he will oppose the legislation.
