She hasn’t spoken to Harry in 21 years but can confidently say he “traded down” with Meghan. Riiight. Meanwhile, Meghan is actually older than her and looks like sunshine. 💯
@notcapnamerica
I recall in her so-called apology she said it had “NOTHING to do with race & NEVER would!” But weeks earlier she had a very different opinion of Kylie Jenner’s locs. 2 famous teenagers, but one’s look was “edgy” & the other “probably smells of patchouli oil or weed.” 💯
@JENuine_Draft
Whew. The fragility and tears on cue is infuriating. Imagine being so casually vicious you’ll call a Black woman the n-word, but then feign helplessness in front of the police when called out on it. Despicable. 💯

asked "Who in America could walk out to a microphone today & speak credibly to the dangers we face from fellow Americans, in a way that consoles & begins to heal our wounds?" I had no doubt I'd soon hear from MY President. Still my POTUS until further notice. 💯❤️🇺🇸

Whew, this country. Laying siege to a private citizen’s home just to arrest anyone stepping outside (after curfew). Thank God for Rahul Dubey who took in, fed and cared for so many. Not all heroes wear capes. 💯

I’m reminded of 94-yr old Martha Tucker from Alabama. She wasn’t allowed in the store to try on wedding dresses when she got married. Her granddaughter arranged a special day for her at David’s Bridal and she tried on wedding dresses for the 1st time. 💯
@WJTV
Whew. Let me get this straight. She’s safe in her home. She has an elderly mom with COPD. But she’s so “overwhelmed with anxiety and fear” that she leaves the safety of her home (without a mask, risking covid-19) to confront a stranger? Scary to know she teaches kids. 💯

A reminder that Francis Scott Key was a brutal slave owner, who pressed President Jackson to be as brutal as possible, & who prosecuted race laws & abolitionists even to death. In the anthem he also espoused death for slaves who escaped to fight for the British (War of 1812). 💯
@goldietaylor
Whew! I appreciate all the examples of brilliant burns/self-owns posted in the replies under this tweet as well. I’ll add my recent favorite from Mindy Kaling, a tremendous flex in 3 acts. 💪🏾 💯

UPDATE: He filed a federal law suit. The police violated his civil rights and used unnecessary and excessive force. He was cooperative and they still body slammed him, breaking his arm. I hope he gets every dollar. 💯

This is some police state gestapo BS. Now homeowners aren’t allowed to let folks into their house? I pray you all stay safe, start tagging the media on this thread! 💯

It’s Nathan’s consternation and double checking that he’s white for me, poor baby! His heart is in the right place and mum broke it down very well. So simple yet this is what they’re afraid to teach kids now, smh. 💯
@RexChapman
For those wondering, that’s Leon Cooperman, billionaire investor & hedge fund manager (CEO of Omega Advisors). Omega was accused of insider trading & settled with the SEC for almost $5 million. They didn’t have to admit any wrongdoing & had no restrictions on trading after. 💯
@VABVOX
What a tremendous relief it must be for her to know that Cody Heron was found and arrested. When I saw the video I stopped breathing for while. Menaced with a gun & head butted yet she still stood all alone in front of the car to protect her very young children. She’s a hero. 💯
@Phil_Lewis_
I’m reminded that the murderers who targeted Ahmaud Arbery were originally released without charges as well. It took leaked video and public outcry for them to be arrested 2 months later. This was an attempted murder. Praying for justice and Ralph Yarl’s recovery. 💯

Black Twitter is a menace with the jokes, lol! So many years of laughing to keep from crying. Ngl though, this one took me smooth out. 💯
@ContrarySarie
@karenkho
Worse, he’s saying it’s not racism at all. Black people tell their experiences & even when there’s video they’re not believed. Some will insist it’s not about race. Yes, there’s birder-dog walker conflict, but 911 was weaponized here *using this man’s race.* That’s undeniable. 💯

He Huang and her delivery is *brilliant.* When she said “Whoa, dad, I don’t have any standards. Just like my mom” she took me smooth out. 💯

@notcapnamerica
I - She really expected the lady to MOVE so she could get a specific parking spot when other spots are open? Then she tries to open the car door (to do what, put hands on her?) Demanding security stop her from recording is just laughable. The entitlement is off the charts. 💯
@chescaleigh
THIS, especially in regard to the insidious oversexualization of Black girls. I’m reminded of when Us Magazine said Blue Ivy looked “grown up.” *She was 8,* but according to them “looks even older.” Meanwhile, the photo shows her as the little girl she actually is. Despicable. 💯
@_SJPeace_
UPDATE: They were LET GO just because the Black woman hit the back of the van with her hand (only to alert the driver she was about to hit them!) They only had their guns taken away, but they’ll probably return those as well. No bloody justice. 💯
@GSarafan
This took place in 2017, during sentencing in a deadly DUI crash. They earned that contempt charge with their clownery. Well done by Judge Qiana Lillard!

I love everything about this video. “I love it. I’m in love with it. And it has pockets!” It’s the “You look like a fairy doll-baby,”for me. Also, is there a better hype person than a Black woman? Won’t we do it! 💯

Just a heads up that this story is almost 7 years old and Judge Gregory Ross rescinded the order a month later. Inexplicably, he said he was unaware of Christopher Mirasolo’s criminal past. 💯

Listen! Everyone acts like Covid is over because the media stopped reporting the numbers. Quiet as it’s kept, there’s a summer surge. Several people I know just tested positive. I’m still masking, especially in crowded spaces.

Sickening. You hear that little speech at the end where he says “I hate what *you’re* making me do.” Nope, he’s a child, he’s not making you do a damn thing. Cops have discretion in every situation and this what they chose to do. 💯

That's demonstrably false. Tarana Burke was very vocal about Terry Crews & how men are represented in the movement. Terry Crews has praise for

Alas,

your ire is misplaced. Sinema has shown she’s wholly uninterested in working for Arizona or being available to her constituents. See Sinema’s dismissiveness & disdain to this lady who approached her respectfully as an example. 💯

America has a long, despicable history of keeping Black people out of pools. The officer went out of his way to appease him. Why didn't they ask him to prove he belonged there?

Indeed. Immigrant children forcibly separated from their parents are turning up in New York as well. Gov. Cuomo said the children are being held in private facilities that are contracted by the federal government.

Fast forward & he’s partying in a bar with his mom & the Proud Boys. Odd that forgoing alcohol wasn’t originally part of the conditions of his $2M bond. His family weren’t required to put up any of their property or money as collateral for his release either. 💯

This is from a TV show “The Good Fight” (CBS All Access) but it certainly touches on a recurring issue: The whiny “bUt wHy cAn’T I sAy iT?” nosense. To wit, Ta-Nehisi Coates gave this very pointed and elegant response. 💯

Same, beloved. Breonna Taylor has already disappeared from the conversation. How easily this promising young woman was killed and how swiftly the media has moved on. The silence is deafening. 💯

Legit horrifying. And people still wonder about the 6-year old who shot their teacher? Too many guns unsecured with children in the home! 💯
NEW: Neighbors who saw a toddler in diapers wandering around a Beech Grove, Indiana, apartment complex with a loaded handgun called police. The incident was caught on building cameras. The father - who lied that he didn’t own a gun - was arrested.

Apparently snow Karen threatened to kill them (caught on their ring camera) & called 911 on them before. The police asked if they wanted to press charges but they declined, said they’d give her another chance. I’m not sure I would have been so generous. 💯

That’s the confounding part. The infant’s death is tragic but why create a gofundme & why was the initial goal $25K? I looked at it & there’s no stated purpose for the gofundme (like hospital or funeral expenses). There is an open investigation. 💯

OceanGate had a troubled start. The 1st trip scheduled for 2018 was scrapped due to damage. 2020, same thing. 2021 was the 1st successful trip. At least 2 dozen clients have done the Titanic dive so at least 6 trips? Many dives & missions were canceled. 💯

He was dating 17-yr old Babi Christina Engelhardt IRL at the time! He also kept pursuing Muriel after Manhattan, asked her to go to Paris with him (sound familiar?) She was 18 and told him no because he wouldn’t say if she’d have her own hotel room. 💯
