It’s as if the “Cornerstone” Speech From Vice President of the Confederate States of America, Alexander H. Stephens is still their touchstone. The Civil War is still being fought 165 years later.

This graphic compares how South Carolina's Republican gerrymanders target Black voters. Current 6-1 map: The GOP packed them into the 6th District to make the other 6 heavily white and GOP. Proposed 7-0 map: The GOP would crack Black voters among 6 districts to make all 7 majority white and GOP.

Looking for a new living room set, I havent bought furniture in 10 years, so this is actually really exciting to me now lol

“Baked wings and belongings “ has me holleringgggg 😂😂😂 Another comment section banger about this plate 😩😩🔥🔥

Mamdani is destroying every talking point they have about what good government can actually get done, and the fact that it’s a democratic socialist doing it on the biggest stage in the nation is killing them. Expect the lies and disinformation to keep ramping up. #UrbanTruth

This might not totally count but we dont have the modern sound or song structure that we have today if it wasn't for Quincy Jones

The funny thing to me is, when they make their money from this course of action, what are they going to do with the new profits that they cant do now?? At a certain level of wealth, nothing monetarily is out of reach, so what is the drive to obtain more at all costs?? What does that do for you??

Prime example of why the country looks the way it does and the government functions the way it do, the 18-29 should have the highest turnout, it's this demographic that will really live with the policy choices of today that will affect the future

Strong disagree, ppl don't watch what they say or dont speak with respect anymore because there isnt enough physical consequences/force in reaction to their "verbal shit", you shouldn't die because of it, but you should definitely get a physical correction within reason

I need the weather to stay one temperature, the constant switch up is kicking my ass

Blacksky is the perfect psychosocial case study. A people watching goldmine

There’s a *big* difference between being sorry that you got caught doing something hurtful and actually feeling remorse for the hurtful act itself.

I see alot of that today. Especially among Black people. People think that demanding better of our elected officials--for Palestine, for healthcare, for clean air and water, for human dignity--is what led to this. And if that's the case, this isn't a country. It's a prison.

Could never be me, man. Once you’ve gotten a taste of someone actually liking you, you’ll never want to go back to being tolerated 😂

The comments made by a senior ICE official at a trade show highlight how Palantir is increasing the speed at which ICE operates. Most people detained by ICE have no criminal conviction.

This is what you get when you have diversity in marketing, because idk what other group of ppl do this lol

Media bias is often less about outright falsehoods and more about framing. Calling Cuba a “regime” instead of a government subtly delegitimizes it, while saying Cuba “rejected humanitarian aid” erases the possibility that the dispute was over the political conditions attached to the aid itself.

On the internet, "light skin" means biracial and "dark skin" means unambiguously Black. 😭😂

They can't apologize. They wait til you have a problem to bring up having a problem. They share other people's secrets with you. They downplay things you're happy about. They remind you of things you're insecure of/embarrassed about. They gaslight. Their moods change unexpectedly and/or quickly.

be the reason someone has a good day today

There was a quote that said something like Black people worship a Jesus who knows what it's like to be lynched, while white people worship a Jesus who will forgive them for being part of a lynch mob.

Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers, we can't honor a good mother enough

I just came across a thought but it's not right to skeet it on today of all days lol

Human interaction is soooo important that you make your employees waste hours of their lives commuting to go to meetings that could’ve happened over zoom, but you have your customers talking to AI agents and don’t have an external phone number 🙃.

Even more, destroying regulation and the like? That's what "limited government" means. Preventing a democratically-elected government from holding the rich accountable and preventing them from doing whatever they want.

Read Edmund Burke (the guy that invented conservatism). The whole reason for the philosophy is the ruling class were concerned the middle class would use their means to get elected and seize the power the ruling class felt belonged to them. They 10000% fear democracy.

These are actual Freedom Riders, now elderly, sitting together decades after risking their lives to challenge segregation in the American South. On May 4, 1961, they rode buses south to defy illegal segregation in terminal facilities.

1. 🧵"If you are taking seats from Black people...then you are a thief." Baton Rouge civil rights activist Gary Chambers said the quiet part out loud Friday as GOP lawmakers push to wipe out Louisiana’s majority-Black districts. See the heated exchange👇

To bring back Jim Crow or slavery white people wouldn't change a thing about what's going on today

This is how the Republicans been winning since 2010, bought off Democrats just as racist and corrupt as the racist republicans, they tactfully pretend to share the values of their electorate to placate and stymie their energy

With the Voting Rights Act eliminated, John Roberts is coming for Brown v Board of Education and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 next.

This is particularly maddening because the court allowed the election to go ahead when all the legal facts were exactly the same. The only real new information they have now is what the result was.

Since the beginning, because slave holding southern states are the reason we even have a "Senate" in the 1st place

I'm all for speaking to people in a language they understand

Leaving no recourse but revolution because when you wont listen to reason you'll see violence

Thinking back on it, the last time shit was normal in everybody lives was right before 2000, the biggest thing going on in America was the President getting some head, which quite frankly, was normal corporate office behavior at the time (still didnt make it right)

More importantly… it’s #WNBA SEASON OPENING DAYYYYY! Bring me the BEST hoops! 🏀😁

We need to incorporate music and the arts in general more in primary education, how did they get us to learn our ABCs?? With a song, so why cant we do that reading, math, & science???

Great music really is timeless, that is the only test

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

Related Fact: Every person I know who built their career in cybersecurity, compliance, and risk management is currently unemployed.

Somebody check Harden's parlays because aint no way he selling like this

Six months ago, the federal government indicted me, my friend Andre, and four others for protesting ICE. Our trial is this month and we are facing up to $250k in legal debt. Please help us win our case and protect all of our rights by donating to our legal defense: tinyurl.com/katandre

I cant lie the British got that thesbian shit on lock lol

I just watched that new Druski skit, my man DONT MISS!!!!!! 😂😂😂

I inadvertently ended up by total wine, I think I'm about to cop a bottle lol

!!!!!!!!!!!! All of this, I dont even get interested unless my partner is doing some amazing shit!!!!

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.
