Why so many bots....

WBIR has just 🤔released body cam footage of @justinjpearson.bsky.social standing up for his brother @keshaunpearson.bsky.social when Speaker Sexton ordered him forcibly removed by troopers from the house gallery - for no good reason, as even the troopers admit.

Blowing out cake candles is a gross tradition. Said what I said.

Hmmmm, wonder why Katie Miller deleted this tweet?

Hey @amazon - get this right. ❤️ (Also - have kino, will travel. 😜)

This is apparently happening in multiple areas in the capital. The DC board of elections has been made aware of it and have been in touch with the National Guard to address it. It’s no accident.

THIS 👇 HERE TOO.......

Cornell. Didn’t. Refund. Her. Tuition. THEY DIDNT EVEN REFUND HER TUITION. I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ONE SINGLE BLIP ABOUT TRUST IN HIGHER EDUCATION UNTIL WE TEAR DOWN THE SYSTEM THAT MADE THIS BOTH POSSIBLE AND A COMMON OCCURRENCE.

Republicans everywhere are abandoning Donald Trump. I’m just going to say what you’re thinking: TOO LATE. They kissed his ass, defended the indefensible, and helped build this monster. Now they can choke on the consequences.

How’s this for perspective???

You know what’s more dangerous than a trans athlete? 7 Frat boys at Cornell University.

Brent Taylor is scared to debate “people like” me. I’m your candidate for Congress who is fighting for TN-09 to have affordable healthcare, a lower cost of living, and no toxic data centers. Brent Taylor is running for Trump. That’s the difference. Election Day is Nov. 3rd.

@pocketbilliardshotss has some neat tricks: #AGoodPlace

Donald.... it isn't the money or repayment, it is the relationship that is the problem.

Whether it’s Work From Home or Office, WFH applies to both.

Art "History" teacher using AI Images that resemble possible history and then telling students to determine the inspired history but are not allowed to use AI themselves -- seems highly unethical and failing to understand the basic concept of ART. Talking to you, university on the East side of TN.

So getting the covid shot was too invasive and offensive, but mandatory testosterone testing is fine?

For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.

We’ve got just 7 weeks left to get out the vote! Come out to one of our THREE great events coming up in West Tennessee, where you can meet me and tap into our movement to challenge politics as usual across Tennessee’s 9th Congressional District 👏🏾 RSVP links in thread ⬇️

Jared Kushner is not "on the other side of the aisle." He's not an elected official. He's not an administration official. He's the president's son-in-law and a private citizen. You do not, in fact, have to take meetings with relatives of the president. Some might even say you should *not* do that

Ted Cruz: "When Mamdani says he wants to seize the means of production, he means it." Crowd: "HE SHOULD BE SHOT!" Cruz: "When Abdul El-Sayed says he has an obligation to Sharia Law, he means it." Crowd: "HE SHOULD BE SHOT!"

Russian terrorists have released video footage of themselves targeting a civilian minibus in Kherson with an FPV drone. They aren't even hiding their war crimes anymore, they post them proudly and gloat!

I absolutely LOVE this. Christian Bale spent roughly 17 years fighting to make this happen. This week, his foster-care village opened in Palmdale, California: 12 homes built specifically to help keep siblings together when they enter foster care.

We’re not changing it.

The sailors don’t deserve this. And they sure as hell don’t deserve to have their suffering denied by the President and Secretary of Defense. Iran damaged the logistics hub in Bahrain, disrupting supplies to the USS Abraham Lincoln. Hegseth kept it a secret, and it NEVER has gone on this long.

RAM that I bought in 2023 was $224. Today the cheapest equivalent I could find was just over $900. This trend is really bad for technology skill development.

In Anthony, New Mexico, ICE goons pulled assault rifles on an unarmed family, aiming weapons at women filming on their phones and children still weeping from being pepper-sprayed for daring to ask questions. ICE and HSI’s sickening excuse for terrorizing kids? Officer safety and an imminent threat

17 Mexican citizens have been killed during ICE operations. The Mexican government has filed criminal complaints w/several state prosecutors, served evidence preservation letters on detention centers, & called for a formal review by the UN Human Rights Council. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Political ads in Tennessee are painful. Everyone swears their soul to Trump. And I am suspecting rejection of the concept of systemic racism isn't just a talking point to get people foaming at the mouth, but many of my neighbors may actually believe SR isn't real.

Our visiting owls were very close this morning

NOT TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH, PART I: ICE’s Use of Force policy prohibits ICE officers from firing at a moving vehicle because it is unlikely to stop it safely and creates extreme risk to bystanders, passengers, and other officers. POLICY: www.dhs.gov/sites/defaul...

#Chandler, #AZ: 73y/o Mary was last seen on Jul 3 at 5:30am on foot near Queen Creek & Alma School Rd leaving a group home, in a blonde wig. She suffers from a medical condition which may cause her to become lost/easily confused. A SAFE Alert has been issued for Maricopa County.

No birth certificate? No passport? No problem—you’re registered for the DRAFT. But to register to VOTE? The SAVE Act says show your papers first. They’ll send you to war without ID but won’t let you vote without one. WTH! #SAVEActIsPayToVote #USDemocracy

Let’s be clear to those who can’t even relate; we’re not going back. #Pinks

One of my favorite moments of the day. If you missed it, take a moment… 🤎 John Legend and Common performing “Glory.”

like, what is vance good at

My daughter would like to know why they didn't replace the penny with a 3-cent coin. I see her point and agree.

I am unambiguously in favor of AOC/Buttigeg

Why do airports use drive through communication systems? I get "cheapest" but we should have standards higher than Charlie Brown adults.
