Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Fort Worth were just three of the many communities that were devastated by horrific acts of gun violence over the July 4th holiday. According to @GunDeaths, there were at least 538 shootings from Friday through Tuesday in which 199 people were shot and killed and 520 were shot and wounded.
In an era defined by the same stories that flow with eye-glazing repetition, all of them signaling our unrelenting climate emergency, how does the hottest day in human-record keeping hit you? https://t.co/klsJgV1px9
To Ralph Norman, the Congressman of the great state of South Carolina,
You say it is “obnoxious” for taxpayers to be responsible for the loans of others.
Well sir, we did a little digging and it turns out you had $306,520 in PPP loans forgiven.
Every penny of that was money that came from taxpayers and it wasn’t paid back.
Here’s the big question: why is it ok for YOU, but not
students trying to make their lives better?
I think we know the reason.
First, it’s because you represent the same SELFISH thinking of your entire party: “It’s good for me but not for thee.”
And lastly, it’s because you’re an asshole.
Alito and Thomas just invent cases to drive their bigoted decisions, no doubt funded by dark money. The man named in the 303 case never asked for a website, and he’s straight and married to a woman. This court has a legitimacy crisis. https://t.co/KVjMmFIGCf
Every American should be picturing Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene grinch-hopping up to the U.S. Treasury and YOINKING $656,000 for themselves and then grinch-hopping over to beleaguered student loan borrowers and YOINKING $10,000 from the hands of tens of millions of them
Discrimination is wrong.
Using religion as an excuse to discriminate is wrong - and unconstitutional.
The Court’s minority is right: the Constitution is no license for a business to discriminate.
Today’s ruling will move America backward.
In 2016, some said it didn't matter who won the race between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
Now in 2023, we've lost the right to abortion, affirmative action, LGBTQ rights, and student loan debt relief.
Don't listen to those people ever again. Elections have consequences.
So, let me get this straight: yesterday the Supreme Court ruled colleges CAN’T discriminate on the basis of race but today they ruled that a web designer CAN discriminate against the LGBTQ+ community? Sorry, but this Court is so freaking messed up.
In one of its final cases for the term, 303 Creative, the Court permits a web designer who says making gay wedding sites violates her religious beliefs to post a notice refusing to work with gay couples before they even come to her. Justice Sotomayor writes the dissent:
Sure, let’s get rid of the agency that collects taxes so that we can’t afford a military, can’t pay for the FAA, can’t send out social security checks etc… oh and let’s get rid of the agency that regulates nuclear power because that’s not important. These people are so unserious.

Remember all those stories about how Tucker was fired from Fox because of his racist texts? Well, this is the guy who's filling his old slot. And he's also a racist.
