If you haven't heard Justin Pearson's speech to the TN State House today you need to listen.
"Today, you will take the only Black-majority district from us. But I want you to know: No matter what you do, no matter how much you try to break us & make us bend & quit, we will still be here."
Good people who understand the Constitution and care are sick of our racist president and his hateful minions.
We stand with Justin Pearson today and every single day.

This women said I was signing my daughter out of school yesterday, standing in the main office next to another mom who was clearly holding back tears.
She had just finished signing her child out when I heard her ask the security guard who she could speak to about withdrawing her daughter from school.
The guard looked confused and said, “School’s almost over… why not just wait a few more weeks so she can finish the year?”
And the mom said something I can’t stop thinking about:
“I wish I could… but we can’t. We have to self-deport by May. They stripped us of our asylum. We have to go back to Guatemala.”
My heart shattered right there 💔.
I looked at her and told her how sorry I was. I couldn’t stop saying, “I’m so, so sorry. I’m so sorry you and your baby are going through this. I’m sorry people failed you.”
Because that’s exactly what this is. A failure.
What made it heavier is that this school and the very town the school is in, is so loud and proud in their support for the very policies causing this.
So I said it: “I’m sorry the people here voted for this to happen to you.”
& the security guard interrupted me and said, “We regret voting for him. We didn’t know it would be like this.”
& I couldn’t hold it in. I said, “Regret what? You didn’t know what? He told you. He was clear. You just didn’t think it would affect you.” She stayed silent.
A mother and her daughter being forced to leave the only life they know. A child losing her school, her safety, her normal. A woman who’s done nothing but work and try to build something better… forced to have to start over in a place filled with uncertainty and possible danger.
These are not bad people.
They are families. They are kids. They are trying.
And they deserved better 😞💔

.@ksorbs Seriously? Are you for real 🤡? 👇
Trump stiffed hardworking contractors, knowing they couldn't afford prolonged legal battles. Republicans did nothing about it.
His Trump University misled veterans and everyday people, resulting in millions in fines. Republicans did nothing about it.
He used $250 million from your donations as his "defense" fund to cover personal expenses. Republicans did nothing about it.
He manipulated elderly supporters by quietly setting up recurring donations, draining their bank accounts. Republicans did nothing about it.
I mean who steals money from a children's cancer charity? Republicans did nothing about it.
At last, he's facing consequences for trying to undermine U.S. democracy by pulling all stops to snatch an election he knew was lost. He even went to the extent of calling for the dismantling of the U.S. Constitution, which he vowed to defend. Republicans did nothing about it.
If you still believe he's innocent, the problem isn't with him; it's you. You are in a cult. Republicans did nothing about this cult-like following.
Trump's other 'achievements':
-Gave over $1.7 TRILLION (5 times student relief) in tax breaks to the ultrarich. Republicans did nothing about the inequality it exacerbated.
$7.8 TRILLION added to the deficit. Nothing but 8 miles of new wall Mexico was supposed to pay. Republicans did nothing about this fiscal irresponsibility.
-$150 Million for golf. Republicans did nothing about this misuse of funds.
-Had to be praised every 5 minutes. Republicans did nothing about this egoism.

-Taxpayers overpaid for his secret service $1200 per night staying at his properties. Republicans did nothing about this profiteering.
-Gave Taliban their leader & 5K soldiers, with no exit plan for May 2021. Republicans did nothing about this strategic blunder.
-His campaign chair, NSA chief & others were indicted/pardoned. Republicans did nothing about this corruption.
-Called himself THE CHOSEN1! :)). Republicans did nothing about this messianic complex.
-Pleaded the 5th 440 times. Republicans did nothing about this evasion of accountability.
-Took over $250 million from his supporters when he left office for "Defense Fund" to pay his own personal bills. Republicans did nothing about this exploitation.

Trump's Taxing Concerns in China: The New York Times unveiled Trump paying over $188,000 in taxes to China between 2013-2015, while maintaining an undisclosed bank account there. He paid more taxes to China than in the U.S. Spot the issue? Republicans did nothing about this financial conflict of interest.
Shady Transactions Post White House: His son-in-law, despite failing a White House security clearance, received $3.1 billion from a foreign government right after leaving office. Questions, anyone? Republicans did nothing about these dubious dealings.
Allegations of Trump's Criminal Acts: Republicans did nothing about these numerous allegations of criminal misconduct.
Trump's Ties to Russia: Republicans did nothing about these troubling connections and implications for national security.
4th Indictment Against Trump: Republicans did nothing about these accusations of election tampering and abuse of power.
Third Indictment: -Conspiracy to Defraud the US: Accused of unlawfully disrupting the 2020 election by making fraudulent claims and pressuring officials. Republicans did nothing about this blatant disregard for electoral integrity.
-Obstructing an Official Proceeding: Accused of hindering Congress's January 6 certification of election results. Republicans did nothing about this direct threat to our democratic process.

-Obstruction of Justice: Allegedly kept unauthorized documents hidden from the National Archives. Republicans did nothing about this breach of protocol.
-Evidence Depth: Varied evidence indicates illegal document acquisition and concealment attempts. Republicans did nothing about these potentially criminal actions.
Additional Notes: -Document Selection: The 31 indictment documents were likely chosen for relevance. Republicans did nothing to address the significance of these selections.
-Comparison to Other Cases: The evidence stands out compared to Biden's and Clinton's cases due to alleged concealment and deception. Republicans did nothing to acknowledge the severity of these comparisons.
We can and do deserve better than these DO-NOTHING Republicans with their AmericaFirst slogan. Our diversity is our STRENGTH, not a flaw. Republicans did nothing to embrace or celebrate this diversity, instead often standing in opposition to it.

And why, pray tell, has a movie not yet been made of her life & exploits, even as Hollywood keeps churning out remakes, frequently of original movies that don't need 'em--or deserve 'em?

Exactly. The misconception that affirmative action meant unqualified people have been admitted into college solely because of their race was never true and is quite frankly an ignorant interpretation. Thank you @joyannreid for setting the record straight and sharing your truth!

Remember, the Constitution does NOT stipulate the number of Supreme Court justices — that’s set by Congress. It’s been legally changed seven times over the years, with the size of the court varying from six to ten seats.
Since there are currently 13 federal appellate courts, many would argue that it makes sense to expand the Supreme Court to 13 seats. There’s also a broad public consensus that Congress should impose term limits on the court, along with a strict code of ethics for the justices.
What do you think?

Before you begin your thinkpiece, the Supreme Court DID NOT strike down Affirmative Action
Admission preferences for legacies, donors, employee families and special recommendations are still allowed
The Court struck down Affirmative Action For everyone except WHITE PEOPLE

A brother in Taylor, Mississippi dismembered body was found on private property owned by Esau. Rasheem Carter, 25 years old.
The police said that there was no foul play surrounding his death.
Prior to him coming up missing and being found dead, he called his Mom and told her th – at Mississippi, USA
ALT This image was captured on a deer camera. He’s obviously looking at something in the forest and his stance is one of defense looking at the way that his left arm is extended. He’s also carrying a huge branch, clearly to try and protect himself. It appears to me from looking at that photo, that this man was fighting and running for his life against Esau hiding in the bushes in camouflage clothing to blend in with the trees and branches, so they could hunt this man down like an animal.

NEW: Ralph Yarl, 16, was shot twice by a white man in Kansas City after accidentally ringing the doorbell of the wrong home. The man shot Ralph in the head through his glass door, and then when Yarl was already bleeding out on the ground, shot him again: kansascitydefender.com/justi…

I'm really glad that Ben Crump is on the case for the Black teen who was shot because he rang the doorbell at the wrong house, but if the shooter, who has already been released, is not charged because of Missouri's stand your ground law, what then?
