In the state of Florida, they decided middle school students will be taught that enslaved people benefited from slavery.

They insult us in an attempt to gaslight us, and we will not stand for it.

@joncoopertweets Good.

@WordswithSteph @cathyob1 Disgusting. I’m grateful that the anonymous trooper revealed the inhumanity and murderous bigotry of Greg Abbott.

@morgfair I’m very sorry for your loss. Heartbreaking. I hope you are surrounded by love and support. ❤️

The Supreme Court's recent rulings were sadly predictable for anyone who understands the hard-right agenda. Their goal has always been to install Justices whose job is to turn back the clock on our freedoms, on decades of constitutional decisions, and on our continuing struggle to “form a more perfect union” that includes all of us.

Let's vote out their political enablers and rein in the dark, subversive money that supports them in their quest to reverse a century of progress.

@ScottforFlorida You spent over $7 million investigating Benghazi and came up with nothing.

So $9 million for 37 felony charges (and counting) seems like a pretty good return on investment.

@ScottforFlorida No one is above the law, nor should they be. These are the natural consequences of the GOP electing a grifting, narcissistic, lawbreaking, thin skinned, man-baby. #ActionMeetConsequences

Finally, for the Court majority it's a huge black eye that they neverthelss will simply ignore, b/c they can, and b/c the case serves their agenda,even though they sh be apoplectic about being taken advantage of. Imagine the hue & cry if Jane Roe had been a man who made it all up

means that conservative forces in the country have effected a huge change in the law, and inroad on long-established anti-discrimination principles, based on a contrived story that exploited the judicial system and simply did an end-around the requirement of actual facts.

[Harry Litman @harrylitman]

This is a bonafide scandal. On the legal level, it means the Court decided a case that wasn't a real case or controversy as Art III requires. On the political level, it

DAMN: A Harvard alum just DESTROYED Justice Roberts and the Supreme Court's decision to end affirmative action at Harvard.

You have to read his accusation of why SCOTUS took away equity for Black & Brown: 👇🧵

"College was the only place left where their white-guy card couldn't get them through the door."

BAM! But he dug deeper, punishing the Republican-appointed majority by showing their true colors:

"SCOTUS was basically like 'Jared Kushner's daddy can pay Jared's way in... And it's ALL GOOD to let legacy students in — a long line of white rich kids benefitting from the systemic racism we helped create.

‘But GOD FORBID we allow a school to consider race!'"

RIGHT? Then he painted the big picture:

"First, right-wing Republicans put women in their place. Then they targeted us in the LGBTQ+ community. Now they're doing the same to Black and Brown people"

EXACTLY. But he has a way to fight back.

"They want to level the playing field in their ‘colorblind’ way? Fine.

“Let's challenge legacy college admissions too."

Who else likes this way to fight back? ✋

Read the full destruction of Justice Roberts on this horrible decision now. It's so good!👇🧵

The extremist Supreme Court has proved itself full on racist AND misogynistic. Disgusting. Roberts, you should be embarrassed to head this radical right and out of touch court. #RacistSCOTUS #MisogynisticSCOTUS #ExpandSCOTUS

BREAKING: President Biden blasts the Supreme Court over its decision to end affirmative action for college admissions, declaring that “this is not a normal” Supreme Court and that the far-right court just “walked away from decades of precedent.”

But Biden didn’t stop there…

He also announced that he “strongly disagrees” with today’s decision because “our colleges are stronger when they're racially diverse” and diversity “makes our nation stronger” because it ensures that America “taps into the full range of talent” available.

But Biden saved the best for last, declaring that, “while talent, creativity and hard work are everywhere across this country, equal opportunity is not everywhere across this country. We cannot let the decision be the last word!”

Please retweet and ❤️ to thank President Biden for setting the far-right Supreme Court straight — and consider investing in Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is currently doing a round of equity crowdfunding and just blew past $2.1 million raised from 5,300 of its users.

What the fuck is going on at MSNBC - they keeps pushing this “ let’s make a deal that let’s trump off the hook and his wildest dreams come true “ narrative - it feels like a big, fat, wretched trial ballon from garlands doj - this stuff is not being randomly said - here’s the pitch - that’s been repeated for 2 weeks ( I think ) and this insanity is literally being pushed out and broadcast as a “ thought experiment “
(Re : trial ballon)
Ok - Here is the wretched ,democracy killing ,catastrophic implosion msnbc pitch that someone over there wants repeated ⬇️
“ Is there some kind of deal where all the investigations are wrapped together - and trumps promised no jail time if he promises not to run “
Seriously - that’s what they float -
I’m not kidding - that’s being said on tv by adults -
Whose water is msnbc carrying here - ? Doj ?
Maddow can’t be that enamored with her podcast and the laughably jive spiro Agnew comp -
This IS INSANITY .
The only people that “deal” would satisfy are all the fascists - merrick garland trump - and maybe the federalist society .
Let the worst gov criminal in American history completely off the hook - cause well - uhmmm - he might not WANT to go to jail - and we don’t want to send him to prison -
This is some preserve the ruling class power structure bullshit .
We’re being worked and softened up here -
Let them know their trial balloon is a non starter -

I have questions.

George Santos’ father is a house painter.

His aunt is a letter carrier for the post office.

How did they afford a $500,000 bond?

Here’s an idea. Instead of Kevin McCarthy allowing a BS vote of censure against Adam Schiff, he allow the ethics investigation of Santos to go through that’s stuck in committee?

Time for the DOJ to examine who‘s money actually paid for this.

@John_woodward1 I’m very sorry. May you be surrounded with support and love. The last six months of my fathers life was by far the best in terms of his connection to people he loved and a deepening peace. It was amazing to witness and be a part of. ❤️

@CalltoActivism I’m so sorry for your loss. Robbie sounds like a compassionate and loving child. I’m glad you found each other. Beautiful that he likes to adopt senior dogs. Grief is the price of loving deeply. Worth it, though quite painful at times. 💔❤️‍🩹❤️
