Chip Roy is the worst kind of lying hypocrite.

A thread (real quick)

When Chip Roy enrolled in @UVA in 1990, he had to provide his immunization record before he could step foot on campus. He did the same at @UTexasLaw. Was that a mandate or a passport? But wait… There’s more.
In 2011, Chip Roy was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. Thankfully, he survived with the help of chemo and a drug called Brentuximab, which had been GRANTED ACCELERATED APPROVAL at the time.
Sound familiar?

And here’s the thing about vaccine passports and mandates:
In 1922, the Supreme Court declared that schools could require “vaccine certificates” after a woman named Rosalyn Zucht challenged a state law.

Roy knows this, not just because he went to law school. But Rosalyn Zucht was literally from the district represented by Chip Roy.
Don’t forget that this dude voted against anti-Asian hate crime legislation, the Juneteenth holiday THAT BEGAN IN HIS STATE & government healthcare even though gov’t healthcare HELPED HIM BEAT CANCER!
But he is kinda right.

He won’t comply with a mandate. He’ll get the vaccine & have his family get it because, as a cancer survivor, COVID could kill him.

He won’t comply with stay at home orders. He’ll just tell his polio stricken father to stay home & say it’s a “choice”
What he’s saying is “fuck anyone who didn’t have good enough healthcare catch their cancer in time”

His father got polio before the vaccine & received treatment at a segregated camp, so Roy’s saying: “Fuck yo kids”

He’s not concerned with freedom, liberty or any of that BS.
They will WATCH YOU DIE & say you had the “freedom” to choose not to breathe.

Think about what he’s saying: “I don’t care what science, doctors, law, or thr Supreme Court says. It’s my choice to not give a fuck about my fellow Americans.”

Isn’t that the OPPOSITE of a patriot?

Some people say this tweet from @realcandaceo is xenophobic and racist.

See, Candance Owens doesn't actually know things. She's a lot more dumb than she is racist. So here are some facts:

1. MOST unauthorized immigrants don't cross the border. A not-dumb person would know this.
2. In the last 10 yrs, more unauthorized immigrants left the US than entered illegally. That's why the unauthorized immigrant population has declined

Also, more than 100 people have entered my home. They also left. Only a dumb person would wonder why my house isn't crowded.
3. Opening borders wouldn't help Democrats

Even if Candace Owens was smart enough to know how math works, she would still be too dumb to know that immigration policy is determined on the federal level. Only citizens to vote in federal elections.

The Allegory of The Third-Floor Piano

A thread:
Years ago, a poor blacksmith was working for a wealthy slave trader when he heard an enslaved woman playing a beautiful song on a piano.

The blacksmith had never heard anything like it in his life. He had to hear the song again. He began working to build his wealth
Once he got rich, the formerly poor blacksmith went to the wealthy slave trader to purchase the enslaved woman but the slave trader refused.

“That’s how I get all my customers!” Said the wealthy man. “I hire her out to teach ppl how to play, but she isn’t for sale.”

5,000 yrs from now, archaeologists discover an immaculately preserved American dwelling circa 1950-2000 but can’t figure out who lived there.

Suddenly, the Black archaeologist finds one item and confidently declares

“A Black family lived here.”

Post a pic of what she found.

The Lincoln Project is about to get a lot of donations but Here’s the thing about this thread by Steve Schmidt, why democracy is in danger, and why people love Donald Trump:

A thread.
First of all, we can’t act like this country has never been this divided before. Before the Civil War, it was worse than that. There was a whole intra-state civil war over whether or not Kansas would allow slavery. The
Pro-slavery Democrats burned down an entire KS town and stole a cannon. A pro slavery Democrat beat Charles Sumner damn near to death ON THE FLOOR OF CONGRESS. They had to throw out entire elections.

Then there was the CIVIL WAR civil war. You know, the big one

It finally happened. One of my worst fears came true today but with faith and courage, I managed to overcome this nightmare scenario.

Thread.
I was working from home, minding my business when my dog came to let me know he needed to go outside. I’m letting him out in the backyard when I get a message on slack that I’m supposed to be in a meeting, so I leave the back door cracked so he can come back in
Halfway through the meeting, I hear tapping. I figure it’s Omar. He’s 165 lbs & can open the door with his face, but he’s so dumb (or polite) that EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN, he won’t come in unless I explicitly let him in (or maybe he’s a vampire)

I go upstairs to let him in

This tweet is hilarious

No one has EVER said they wanted to eat, shop and live around white people. In fact, the TRUE origin of legalized segregation has to do with something that NO ONE (aside from @sullydish) wants to talk about truthfully:

Fear of a Black penis.

A thread.
See, for years, white people have believed, for some reason, that Black men find white women irresistible. No one knows where it came from. But it is a thing that a LOT of white people believe.

It's has shaped American history in ways we don't talk about.
I know it sounds lewd, but let's see:

When white people first came and stole the land, they said the people & children "which shall happen to be born within...any of the Limits and Precincts of the said several Colonies and Plantations.. "
