The Trump Pentagon wages war on meritocracy for mediocrity.

Unquestionably qualified people of color &/or women are collateral damage.

The worst damage will be measured in lost lives, broken bodies, & endless aimless wars.

America deserves better.

Justice Kavanaugh: So this could be a short opinion where we just say Wong Kim Ark was right, this is affirmed?

Cecilia Wang: ...Yes.

Audience: [laughter]

The Trump administration's argument against birthright citizenship is literally laughable

🚨 THIS IS NOT A DRILL

Trump just signed a new executive order targeting mail-in voting and voter registration ahead of the 2026 midterms.

His last one from 2025 is already under permanent injunction. He’s doing it anyway.

Call it what it is: VOTER SUPPRESSION

This Sheriff Says His Department Eliminated Racial Bias. Data Shows Otherwise. When Jerry Sheridan was second-in-command at the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, a federal judge found he had undermined reforms meant to root out racial profiling. Now, as head of the department, S...

“We're not a racist organization, and we don't racial profile.”

That’s a claim that Sheriff Jerry Sheridan has made again and again.

But annual reviews of every traffic stop or arrest of a Latino person have repeatedly contradicted him.

Mere months into 2026, just 50 American billionaires have already pumped a jaw-dropping $433 MILLION into the midterm elections — the overwhelming majority of which has benefitted Republicans.

Citizens United is corrupting our system every day.

We aren’t ready for the downstream impacts of this. When costs in Asia go up, we pay more for electronics, clothes, and much more – on top of higher gas prices.

Planning on booking a summer vacation?

Airline costs are already spiking thanks to fuel impacts from Trump’s war of choice with Iran.

Absolutely everything is skyrocketing because of this costly, stupid war.

EXCLUSIVE: Al Gore calls Trump's Iran war "an astonishing mistake"—says he ignored 50 years of war planning and told advisors "they'll surrender." They didn't.

3. Most people would rather be a wise and trustful believer in the best of humanity rather consistently expecting the worst. Debatably the latter is safer, but toxic & tiresome.

2. Black racial optimists often give the “benefit of the doubt” to “established”racist opportunists who benefit from Black people’s trust. This benefit of the doubt should be given to imperfect but trustworthy people, orgs, houses of faith, & businesses that INVEST in Black people.

A🧵

1. #BobBarker ’s alleged racism & apparent popularity among Black folks is an ugly paradox. The fact that Black people fail to “always see racism” does not mean we are blind or naive, only that racists effectively wear Klan white robes of respectability & invisibility.
