Ask, "What would John Lewis do?"

Similar to the Nazi group chat semi-apology responses, I think it is remarkable that the “Groyper” war is being framed pretty exclusively in terms of antisemitism, while the racism is unremarkable for them.

There's a post I've seen about rounding 3rd after a walk-off homerun being compared to arriving in heaven.

This is more like it for most of us.

Using AI to actualize "The Welfare Queen" trope to then justify starving 43 million people is PERFECT example of how ignoring #TheDoubleTax— the compounded cost of racism and sexism— makes everyone else worse off.

So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI!

This is truly insane. Total unreality. www.foxnews.com/media/snap-b...

Sadly, this SCOTUS would have no problem "reasoning" that Congress certifying the 2024 election served to effectively lift the 14.3 disqualification.

So every person with a common non-white sounding ethnic name will be challenged at the polls. This is a voter suppression tactic not a border control policy.

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Homeland Security quietly formalized sweeping changes to a federal immigration database, turning it into a national “voter verification” tool that appears to sidestep federal privacy protections and will make it easier to remove large numbers of voters from the rolls.

California is preparing to send its own state observers to watch over federal monitors from President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice. The move underscores a growing standoff between state election officials and a federal government many voting rights advocates say is weaponizing oversight.
