Tennessee for real just expelled the two Black guys but not the white woman.

Man folks. Man. They just went out there and straight up did the racism.

This also implicates House Republicans as well, who launched an entire Oversight hearing and investigation based on these errors.

Did @GOPoversight not fact check or double verify any of these claims or read the reports cited before wasting tons of public time and dollars on it?

It really feels like Millennials were the last people who got a largely apolitical high school experience. I don’t remember anything political, just a bubble of blissful ignorance. “Jackass” and Blink-182 were popular. The main concern was asking out your crush. https://twitter.com/picturesfoider/status/1642991152767926272

NEW: You see it in every viral clip of people raging at retail workers.

Our system is set up to create mutual antagonism between working class people.

Corporations deliberately pit consumers against low-wage workers, and faceless executives stay shielded like mob bosses.

When an "imaging artifact" turns out to be one of the wildest things we've ever observed in the universe.

A supermassive black hole.
Ejected from its galaxy.
Compressed gas in its wake.

WHAT.
