Trump: look at the pool, I fixed it. Everyone look at the pool, I did a great job. Obama never fixed the pool. I did. Look at the pool.

Media: the pool looks broken

Karoline: why are you guys talking about the pool, you’re deranged

She did NOT steal the diapers but even if she did IT’S NOT A CAPITAL LEVEL OFFENSE or even a FELONY in most states, the threshold is too low. Trigger happy cops playing judge jury and executioner over $50 diapers?!

We say Black Lives Matter because y’all need to be reminded

They acted like Obama’s $1.7 billion to Iran was the worst deal in history, but Trump surrendering $300 billion barely disturbed the cult meeting.

Again, he gets graded on a curve. Dude is losing his shit because a reporter pushes back a bit on his lies, and he loses his temper, insults her, and walks out of the interview. And yet, he keeps being presented as a sane and normal person.

why do white people get angry when racists are portrayed as bad

[Pedro L. Gonzalez @emeriticus]

Guy embrace every article of faith on the new right from hating women to blaming minorities and immigrants for literally everything, just like JD Vance and Stephen Miller do. It destroyed his life. His wife is leaving him and getting custody of the kids. In the comments are right wingers cheering him on for being “based.” It is a social suicide cult in which freaks root for you to self-immolate.

[Josh Wesley @professorVVes]

In this society, being true to who you are comes at a cost. And it's like being LGBTQ+ has automatic gratuity added. So as a straight man, if I can help pick up the tab, I'm happy to do so. I love you and I'm proud of you. Happy Pride 🏳️‍🌈

Remember people said this was a hoax?

If voting don’t matter you gotta explain to me why they fighting like hell for Black people to not be able to do so.

[Dean Withers @itsdeaann]

I’m tired of just sitting on this info. 6 months ago CBS flew me out to DC for an in person debate over the Trump Administration, they paid for everything ranging from my travel expenses to a 4 person camera crew. The conversation was moderated by Maurice DuBois.

As you could imagine, this debate didn’t go well for my MAGA opponent, and I was very effective at demonstrating the failures and wrongdoings of Trump & his administration, including things the mainstream media doesn’t want you to know.

Coincidentally, it was filmed RIGHT before Bari Weiss took over. And in my opinion, it seems she canned the whole production to censor the truth.

I have reached out to my contact at CBS multiple times over the course of the last 6 months to see what happened to the production, and haven’t gotten a response.

@CBS, what’s going on???

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

Sooo, the Secret Service and FBI just happened to release this footage to the President during an active investigation?

And he felt the need to post it… because….?

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

Not enough people are talking about this.

Hungary’s incoming PM has said that Viktor Orbán used Hungarian government funds to help finance CPAC, the flagship networking event for GOP candidates, members of Congress, and conservative media in this country.

Under U.S. law, that is not just a Hungarian problem. Foreign governments are barred from spending money in American elections, and Americans are forbidden from soliciting or accepting it. If these allegations are true, this is a direct attack on the integrity of American democracy.

We need a full investigation by Congress, the FEC, and the DOJ. The American people deserve to know exactly what flowed from Orbán’s government into this country’s political ecosystem, who was on the receiving end, and what it bought.

Every week, a tech executive goes onstage to tell the world they’re deliberately making the world worse because it will make them money

[Mike Young @micyoung75]

Justin Fox. Six hours under oath. Couldn't define DEI. Used ChatGPT to hunt for "homosexual" in grant descriptions but not "white." Canceled a Holocaust documentary. Axed a museum's HVAC grant because AI flagged "diverse audiences."

No legal authority to cancel any of it. Depositions confirm that too.

Pod Save America called it amateur hour and that's fair. But it undersells it a little. Amateur hour implies they tried. What the sworn record shows is something closer to reckless indifference toward $100 million in lawfully appropriated funds... and the people those grants were built to serve.

[Semitic Jew @semitic_jew]

You understand 1, 2, 3, 4. Im working on a Phd in Mathematics. You’re just a content creator. Let’s elaborate on your “absolutisms” …

Arrests ≠ Crime
FBI data reports arrests, not actual crimes committed.
Arrests reflect policing patterns, not necessarily guilt.

👉🏾 Using arrests as proof of criminality is a basic statistical error. “basic” 🤧

Policing Concentration
Black Americans are disproportionately policed in “dense” urban areas. “dense”

Example:
• Heavy patrol zones
• Stop-and-frisk policies
• Higher surveillance

👉🏾 More policing = more arrests, even if behavior rates were identical.

Convictions vs Arrests
Arrest numbers are not convictions.

Example:
• Charges dropped
• Plea bargaining distortions
• Wrongful arrests

👉🏾 Arrest statistics alone cannot prove who commits crimes. “per capita 🙂‍↔️”

Socioeconomic Variables
Crime rates correlate most strongly with:

• Poverty
• Population density
• Segregation
• Education access
• Historical economic exclusion

👉🏾 Comparing made up race categories like {white, black, …} without socioeconomic variables is statistically invalid. And, hell, anyone can identify as Black as long as they have more melanin than you.

White Crime Is Often Under-Policed
Many crimes with majority white offenders are not captured the same way:

Examples:
• Corporate crime
• Financial fraud
• environmental crime
• wage theft
• Bestiality
• Familicide
• Pedophilia

👉🏾 Most of these cause far greater economic harm but rarely appear in street-crime datasets. I wonder why 🙂‍↔️

Population Base Rate
Per-capita statistics can mislead if you ignore geographic distribution. And, that may be above what your dendrites can handle.

Lastly, Most violent crime happens in a small number of high-poverty neighborhoods, not across an entire race.

👉🏾 Crime is location-clustered, not race-distributed.

Since I teach Logic, I wanna leave you with some fallacies you need to learn. Grab paper and pencil:

Your argument commits:

- Ecological fallacy – attributing group statistics to individuals
- Selection bias – only choosing crimes that support the narrative
- Ignoring confounders – poverty, segregation, policing policy

👉🏾 Statistics used without context are propaganda, not “empirical” analysis.

You’d know this if you didnt put your head down when your instructor called on you to explain what you just said 🤧🤡

[Joaquin Castro @JoaquinCastrotx]

“We look forward to you correcting the record.”

Okay, sure:

I’ve looked at the records that you’ve filed. The warrant below is what you served Estefany Rodríguez. It’s not a judicial warrant and it’s not even filled out properly, making this an egregious violation of her fourth amendment right.

You illegally detained a journalist and lied about it. You killed 3 Americans and lied about it. Detained American citizens and lied about it. Gave away hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars to Noem’s friends and lied about.

Sorry, no more “Trust me, Bro.” https://t.co/sqcRHjS5Ea

[Joaquin Castro @JoaquinCastrotx]

ICE arrested a journalist yesterday without a warrant.

She is an asylum seeker, has valid work permits, and is married to a U.S. citizen.

Her detention exposes the Trump Admin’s machine of cruelty that is attacking the free press and violating our rights. This lawlessness and cruelty must end.
