Many Hispanic voters heard secure the border and deport violent criminals. What they got was cruelty to: workers, parents, grandparents, children, longtime residents and people with no criminal conviction. This is buyer’s remorse on an epic scale. #LetsGetVoteReady

Ted’s thread is right. I think that having a solid, shared basis of knowledge is important for a society to understand where it has been, and how the past continues to shape it today. Sharpening the public’s historical memory is essential for self-reflection and self-awareness. Social cohesion? Meh.

I'm telling you, the first time some blonde white woman whose also a major sports star gets disqualified for being intersex, all hell is going to break loose.
A screenshot of a post on X by Brian Sutterer MD (@BrianSuttererMD) quoting a post by The Associated Press (@AP).
​The main text by Brian Sutterer MD reads:
"I don’t think the sports world is ready for how many unexpected positive tests they are going to find if every athlete is tested.
​Especially anxious to see how this plays out in sports like women’s basketball, where genetic gender testing isn’t done
​If they are truly going to do genetic testing on every female athlete, guaranteed there will be unexpected positives that will have a major life impact in the athlete who may have had no idea."
​The embedded quoted post from The Associated Press reads:
"BREAKING: Trans women athletes are banned from the Olympics by a new IOC policy on female eligibility."
​The main post is dated March 26, 2026.
