I'm now positive that the lawmakers saying this stuff 100% understand this. I'm convinced about 50% of MAGA understands this. We're now just waiting for them to finish the thought and say "we know because they're brown and have a Spanish/Indian/Middle Eastern/not white sounding last name."
There it is, in a nutshell.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

"We're gonna hold up signs"
"We're gonna wear pink!"
"We're gonna make a rap video!"

Us - none of you actually know how to fight what's happening do you?
The public: “Y’all gonna do something to stop all of this nonsense?”

The Dems: “We have a plan 😁😌”

Now that my free @electrifyamerica.bsky.social trial is over and I’m paying for charging for the first time, I’m blown away at how terrible an experience this is for such an expensive price. Can’t wait for my home charger install. $.64 for this slow, inconvenient bullshit?!?

Wife was saying last night he's probably doing this because he sees his father talking to Trump that way behind closed doors. A little kid doesn't just randomly go up to strangers and tell them to shut up when they're talking.

For some reason this instantly made me think of that scene from Elf where Buddy calls his dad to say there's an evil monster in the kitchen corner making noises...and is then told it's the radiator...and he doesn't believe it at first...then realizes it's the radiator and is like "ok"
We’re in for weeks of this on end. One of Musk’s tween haxx0rz stumbles into a complicated system they don’t understand, thinks they’ve discovered something earthshattering the veteran dunces never noticed, relays to Musk who also doesn’t understand, and broadcasts it to millions of followers.

I think she actually might be the worst member of congress. Not because of *how* she votes (so many of them are useless in that regard) but because she always openly acknowledges that she sees and understands that things are bad....and then votes in favor of them. Every. Single. Time.
Susan Collins, who can be counted on for saying she's "very disappointed," says she will vote for Tulsi Gabbard.

Now THIS is how you use social media for activism. Tangible steps, outcomes, and simplicity in execution.
My mentor had a great idea re: grocery prices and tariffs. Buy directly from Black farmers. Most will ship directly to you, and this index will show you a list of Black farmers by region: blackfarmersindex.com/the-index

We couldn’t get Black folks to turn off a football game a few years ago. We’re not good at boycotts anymore because we are not our ancestors. Best you might get is having more people only buying the Black brands.

A Black woman named Aliyah was struggling to find work. So, she catfished herself and made a fake profile on LinkedIn named "Emily." Emily had the same qualifications as Aliyah but received 57.9% of interview invites while Aliyah received 8.9%

This is what we mean when we say racism is systemic.

I appreciate that apple makes the best shows on tv right now. I also hate that they take 2 years between seasons (I'm looking at YOU "For All Mankind")
Some of you watched Severance for the first time this year and are acting as if you've been waiting a long time for season 2. You didn't suffer like the rest of us.

Is it just me, or do other people who wear glasses start reading extra shit when your new prescription arrives? Just doing all sorts of extra seeing now that it's clearer? 😂

It would be so much fun if the judge was like "you know what...I've given this more thought and for this number of felony convictions, I think a sentence of 1 year confinement is appropriate for a sentence, to begin immediately. Bailiff, take the prisoner into custody."
Good luck, Roberts and Barrett.
