@cmclymer @Esqueer_ I think “trending” has more to do with “being talked about” online — people now tend to focus on outrage or criticism rather than praise. Red states are outraged over Barbie feminism, and many in blue states are critical of the positive portrayal of a mass murderer in Oppenheimer

@Esqueer_ Oppenheimer is trending more in California? Ehhh, I'm deeply skeptical.

@TadhgHickey Perfect!!

Israel, Palestine & the media

@NikkiHaley These 9 members of congress are not hypocrites and are anti-apartheid.

We’re taking names. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Rashida Tlaib Jamaal Bowman Summer Lee Ilhan Omar Cori Bush Andre Carson Delia Ramirez Ayanna Pressley These 9 members of Congress believe Israel is racist. We will remember this vote.

@HouseDemocrats @RepJeffries @WhipKClark @RepPeteAguilar @RepTedLieu This is why I have a hard time voting for you guys. It’s just a clothespin vote at this point, because at least there are SOME good Democrats, like @RepRashida, @BettyMcCollum04, and @Ilhan.

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Democratic Whip Katherine Clark, Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar and Vice Chair Ted Lieu released the following statement:

@kortni_024 Ugh. The classroom library is such an essential learning tool and such an important part of building a strong reading culture in the classroom. I’m sorry. ☹️

@RepAdamSchiff UGH.

Israel is the only true democracy in the Middle East and is not a racist state. It faces constant attacks and the threat of terrorism, and is a key U.S. ally. Israel has every right to exist as a Jewish homeland. Instead of denigrating an entire state and its people, we should work towards a two state solution and a lasting peace.

@luckytran I notice this policy on,y extends to certain states. California, the home state of the company, with the most locations, is not on the list. This speaks to the power of state laws protecting employee rights. Get on it, Colorado and Nevada! (Tough luck, Texas, Arizona, and Utah)

Businesses like In-N-Out burger are banning staff from wearing masks (unless they provide a medical note)

@RepRalphNorman Pay back your PPP loan, hypocrite scum!

You cannot “cancel” student loans any more than you can cancel a car payment or credit card debt. That money has to come from somewhere. Proponents of this literally wanted student loan debt transferred to other people. It’s obnoxious.

@PeterHotez These people are deranged. I hope you have security. ☹️

I'm not an expert in guns/ammunition, but I think I know what this means...it's unacceptable, and has to stop

@lachancenaomi27 My job is 7AM - 5PM most days, and until 8, 9, or 10PM some nights when the school has special events. Nevermind the housework and commute. These bros don’t know what some people’s lives are like.

that's only 14 hours

@thethirdhan I absolutely loathe The Royal Tennenbaums.

@JoshuaPHilll I wish I could work from home!

What the hell lol these attacks on working from home are out of control

What the fuck

@calebparke Did you commit a federal crime? If not, you’re good. Carry on, dippy.

First, it's Trump. Next, it's you.

@AnarchoSheepism A nearly perfect line-up. I would like to nominate Ben Shapiro and Bari Weiss as late additions to Team Idiot.

@DocAhmadMalik What do you care? Is she interfering with your life in any way whatsoever? Stop obsessing over other people’s lives and mind your business.

@PopBase Muskrat should volunteer to be the first human subject, if he has so much faith in this obscene invention. Sinister coward.

The FDA has approved Elon Musk’s brain chip company, Neuralink, to launch its first human clinical study.

@GavinNewsom They’ve already come for all those groups, too, Gavin.

CEO of Target Brian Cornell selling out the LGBTQ+ community to extremists is a real profile in courage. This isn’t just a couple stores in the South. There is a systematic attack on the gay community happening across the country. Wake up America. This doesn’t stop here. You’re black? You’re Asian? You’re Jewish? You’re a woman? You’re next.

@mcuban @DoraResists @elonmusk Not if everyone blocks him like I did. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Everyone has access. But @elonmusk has the ultimate reach and control. Who he supports or denigrates is the Twitter equivalent of State intervention. He owns the platform, he can do what he chooses. But it's disingenuous to say Twitter is the home of free speech when he chooses to often put his thumb on the scale of reach .. It's a difficult position for him to be in. He is opinionated and has every right to be and to tweet what he damn well please. . But rather than saying Twitter is the home of free speech, I wish he would just call it like it is. Twitter is his platform and he is going to use it to support and influence the positions he wants to support and influence.

@oneunderscore__ I want to puke. I NEVER want to see this video. I NEVER want kids seeing this video. I don’t want ANYONE seeing this video. Disgusting monsters!!

Thread of new reporting: For the last couple of weeks, if you searched "cat" on Twitter, the search box would autocomplete to "cat in a blender." The video you would see when you clicked through appeared to show a kitten being slaughtered. How did this happen? I found out.
