🗣️ REP. @Justinjpearson: “GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY… we convict the Tennessee general assembly of exploiting Black people and attempting to dilute Black political power. Governor Lee is guilty. Cameron Sexton is guilty. White supremacy is guilty.” #Jimcrow#WeThePeople
All the states now drawing new congressional maps to eliminate Black districts were slave states that had joined the Confederacy, waged war on the USA and then imposed Jim Crow laws. That MUST be included in all media coverage for context!
The KKK is alive and well in Tennessee. The Sargeant of Arms blocks Representative Justin Pearson from entering a committee meeting about redrawing the map specifically for the district he represents.
FUCKING SHAMEFUL!
JD Vance is lecturing the Pope on Catholicism and Pierre Poilievre is lecturing Mark Carney on economics and RFK Jr is lecturing scientists about vaccines and Donald Trump is lecturing the world on tariffs and Pete Hegseth is quoting Pulp Fiction and thinking it’s the Bible
Pope Leo just released a new statement criticizing Trump's war in Iran:
"Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of peace"
God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.
Darko Rajakovic: "I don't care what the rest of the world thinks. I have my opinion. I love the people of Memphis. I had an amazing time here living in East Memphis in Germantown. I love the food. I love every time I come here."
Tuomas Iisalo on LeBron's comments: "I can say from my perspective, I feel completely the opposite. ... We have one of the most passionate fan bases in the league and the whole city rallies behind the team. All I can say is Memphis is the right place for the Grizzlies."
@kingjames, I would welcome the chance to turn your criticism into action in one of the most important cities in the world. Come to Memphis and roll around with me for a bit and I will show you some of the culture and powerful investment opportunities in our City.
.@DavidDTSS on LeBron's comments about moving the Memphis Grizzlies to Nashville
"He is a gentrifier...it is behavior that I would've thought was unbecoming of somebody like LeBron and all of these other hoopers who have all of these bad things to say about Memphis."
