MAGA #SCOTUS upholds gerrymandered map that "exiled" Black voters, and -- hold on for a big surprise! -- #Alito wrote the opinion. https://www.commondreams.org/news/supreme-court-gerrymandering-south-carolina

@br00t4c I'm rooting for the orcas.

@DeliaChristina You knew things were nuts when people on the right kept acting like Obama was some sort of radical. 🙄

"To sustain this level of blind support for #Israel, the U.S. must erode its own #democracy. And that is what we see happening on U.S. campuses now." https://www.commondreams.org/news/emory-protests-arrests?utm_source=Common+Dreams&utm_campaign=460a87f4f5-Week+in+Review%3A+Sat.+4%2F27%2F24+w%2F+fundraiser&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-32ccf17a11-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D

A Jewish student at #Columbia: "This crackdown was the most violence inflicted on our student body in decades. I implore you, as our Jewish Voice for Peace chapter does, to consider whether arresting Jewish students keeps us and Columbia safe.

"Smears from the press and pro-#Israel influencers, who have levied charges of antisemitism and violence against Jewish students, are a dangerous distraction from real threats to our safety." https://zeteo.com/p/i-am-a-jewish-student-at-columbia?publication_id=2325511&post_id=143899407&isFreemail=true&r=nunx&triedRedirect=true

"In a case about whether it is possible to pass laws that all but make it impossible for #homeless people to live in a city without breaking the law, I couldn’t help but notice that the highest-paid lawyer in front of the justices in the case was defending this policy — and received the most support for her argument from the wealthiest justice." #SCOTUS via @chrisgeidner

@luckytran Unfortunately, the best protective equipment is a functioning brain, and those appear to be in short supply.

Can we be blunt? Right now, we're losing the fight against #ClimateChange https://www.commondreams.org/news/greenhouse-gas-emissions-2667710709

Folks, #ElonMusk is a full-on, raving fascist lunatic. It's time for sane people to have nothing to do with ANY of his companies, including both #Tesla and X/#Twitter. https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/radicalized-elon-musk-puts-conspiratorial-055858883.html

@luckytran Mass media coverage of #health is 90% terrible, and getting worse in the era of clickbait.

@noondlyt @Doreen32128 I haven't looked, but I would bet that the answer could be found in a list of board members and major donors to the group handing these awards out.

#Biden's military seaport can't come in time to prevent #Gaza children from starving. https://www.commondreams.org/news/starving-children-us-port

@mcnado @icedquinn @tdverstynen Wow. The willingness of some people to so blatantly lie still shocks me sometimes. Ivermectin is to Paxlovid as leeches are to penicillin.

Yet again, the U.S. is wrong on #Gaza. No good will come of this. https://www.commondreams.org/news/us-security-council-statement?utm_source=Common+Dreams&utm_campaign=dcbc664c59-Top+News%3A+Fri.+3%2F1%2F24&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-dcbc664c59-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D

@StillIRise1963 @WarnerCrocker Hey, New Coke was an idea! And at least as good as this one. 😱

@timbray @inventor @taylorlorenz Exactly. The fact that some may misuse the term doesn't alter the fact that actual #fascists exist -- e.g. #LibsOfTikTok. And "Don't platform fascists" is useful advice that @taylorlorenz shouldn't need to be told.

@Hey_Beth About what?

@luckytran I admit I did not have "#CDC acts as hatchet man for plutocrats" on my 2024 Bingo card.

#CDCSays the 737 MAX 9 is the safest plane in the air.

@howelloneill @GossiTheDog Speaking as someone who does PR for a living, I think the aggregation machines have become dangerously prevalent, and many of them are utter garbage.
