@Nicole_Lee_Sch I hate acronyms and what is LLM.

I do not want my drs using a LLM. I do not want my lawyers using an LLM. I thank God I do not have children because I woukd not want their teachers to use an LLM. Critical thinking has value. And I find it so surprising that anyone is embracing genAI. 1/4

@NatComSoc @matt____rice Like a true misogynist

@matt____rice She seems fun. A real peach, really. We especially enjoy the finger wagging. She forgot to say "deplorable" though. That's what we wanted to hear most of all.

Here’s the moment Hillary Clinton learns that Lauren Boebert leaked a photo from inside the deposition “If you guys are doing that, I am done. You guys can hold me in contempt from now until the cows come home.”

@chefbriere Then I'm following who you're following!

my quality of life would probably be significantly better if i deleted twitter but unfortunately some of you people are really funny

@nearyd @NathanJRobinson Yes they're undesirable but also over populated and not legal to kill

@NathanJRobinson Sea lions are to salmon fishermen what foxes are to sheep farmers. If a wild thing eats your livelihood, they're undesirable.

Gluesenkamp Perez seems to be on a quest to make herself as unlikable as possible, now she's calling sea lions "vermin" because they eat salmon

@NathanJRobinson Looks like you want a purity test. Listen to 30 minutes in Fast Politics 2/22/26 and they talk about purity tests.

@NathanJRobinson Anything to attack her do you know how crazy her district is? No you don't because you're not on the west coast - rural, suburban, mixed huge land area district. Nothing like east of the Rockies

@NathanJRobinson It's overpopulation. Yes they are vermin out here. Not much love for sea lions on the west coast but what do you know

@BourgeoisRadley @NathanJRobinson Only transient orcas like sea lions and they're not here that often. (Because they're transient) Resident orcas prefer salmon. Marie G P is talking about Columbia River, but it also applies to Salish Sea aka Puget Sound. Cull the sea lions and seals for heavens sake

@GillsLex @NathanJRobinson Half correct. Orcas prefer Sea Lions as food, Sea Lions prefer salmon. Less Orcas means more Sea Lions, Sea Lions move inland and take advantage of fish ladders, salmon stocks plummet. Then guys who have no understanding of the situation blame it on commercial salmon fishing.

@KiIIer__Tofu @NathanJRobinson There's too many of them now because they were protected. So yes they're kind of like vermin. Not much liked on the west coast

@NathanJRobinson The once protected animal is now vermin. So embarrassing

@oliverburdick Pray I meant, but that's funny it was pay

@oliverburdick Read Schlain's book and there's great explanations about why humans needed that people, why some people are bald, Or just pay to a magic man in the sky

Homosexuality is not natural for human beings. It is a sin against God.

@mattvanswol The right didn't abandon you because you were a white guy. Now you're back and your white privilege is shielding you from the havoc. You were told you were unsafe because LOOK AT EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO ISN'T A STRAIGHT WHITE GUY - they are all in danger of something now!

One year ago, I publicly came out in support of President Trump. I had absolutely no idea how severe the backlash would be. The Left tried to destroy everything good in my life. My job. My family. Our safety. We lost more friends than I ever could have imagined. Politics is so tribal, and it can be that way on BOTH the Left and Right. But something interesting I noticed... ...is that my Right-leaning friends were my friends even when I was liberal, and they stayed consistently my friends when I moved to the Right. My liberal friends, on the other hand, pretty much all abandoned us, except for a small few. There’s a specific kind of grief that comes from realizing people didn’t just disagree with you… ...they re-categorized you as "unsafe" Someone once told me that, in person. "We don't feel safe with you." Like you became a different species overnight. Like everything you’d ever done for them, every memory, every “I’ve got you!” suddenly didn’t count for anything at all.. The noise online is one thing, I've learned to tune almost all of the hate out. Even de*th threats rarely bother me now, as insane as that is. The hardest part... Watching my wife jump every time the camera notifications went off. Watching my kids live under a microscope they didn’t choose. Doing the math in my head about safety and work and whether I’d just completely destroyed the stability of our home because I spoke honestly. I didn’t feel brave. I felt sick, I felt like I did something wrong and was being punished for it. It still feels that way, a lot of the time... my wife and I are still shunned from many friend groups we once had. I think that's when I finally learned what "tribal" meant... a real willingness to punish, to exile, and make an example out of someone to "teach them a lesson." The funny thing is... my right-leaning friends didn’t “welcome me” when I changed, they just NEVER LEFT. We disagreed, for sure. But they never tried to take my livelihood, never tried to scare my family, and never tried to turn my kids into collateral damage. I think, especially in that way in particular, the Right does far, far better than the Left. There’s a difference between disagreement and dehumanization. There's a difference between: a) “I think you’re wrong” and b) “you’re dangerous, and your family deserves suffering.” That’s a social enforcement system, something I was inside of and didn't know I was in, until I broke out of it. There's a reason the Left does it... it works. …and that’s the irony, specifically on the Left A movement that prides itself on tolerance only applies it to people who already agree with them. And once you see that, you can’t unsee it. I think one year out... I'm still in a weird stage of grief. For the friendships we lost, the community we once had, the old way of life where we didn't have to think about safety very much at all, and where my kids didn't have to go through life inheriting the consequences of adults who they themselves couldn’t handle disagreement. But, even through all that... Life is better now than it was a year ago. We went to church for the first time ever, with our kids. We found a new community of friends. We got closer with the friends who stuck around. We got the chance to be wrong, and learn. We got room... to grow. Room to be imperfect. Room to disagree. Room to be wrong. It's not necessarily easier, but it has made life more clear, and I’d rather be condemned for my convictions than rewarded for my compliance. One year out... I do not regret supporting President Trump. I regret not supporting him sooner.

Who's the Elon Musk looking guy in background?

@DefiantLs The old indoctrination argument 🙄

High school student protesting ICE: “They will kiII you. They will kiII your friends and family” Schools are indoctrinating children

@kimmagagal2 Way to go daughter forget your MAGA mom you'll soon be out of the house changing the world for the better

Good job mom! She pulled her daughter out of school due to protesting ICE🙏💪

@UrFavoriteAcct @JamesSurowiecki You open to the public you go by the public rules

@JamesSurowiecki Why is it the state's business how I make decisions that affect profit and loss? People aren't entitled to employment.

Yes, it's explicitly illegal to refuse to hire someone because of her sex. That's not "state-mandated feminism." It's just opposition to discrimination.

@EdgeOfInsane63 @broadwaybabyto No pe

@broadwaybabyto This is good medical practice. The doctor charted your statement but tested to be certain because some diagnostics and treatments can be harmful in the case of pregnancy. You clearly knew this wasn’t an issue, but the doctor didn’t. Trust but verify.

Had a hysterectomy in my twenties. Years later I was in ER for a cardiac issue. Dr: “Could you be pregnant?” Me: “I had a hysterectomy” Dr: “Are you sure? Maybe it was your appendix” Me: “I’m sure” Dr: Orders pregnancy test. Writes “patient claims hysterectomy” in chart

@broadwaybabyto @NormOrnstein I'm now going to look up my records when I had minor surgery last year and I told them my tubes were tied and they made me take one anyway. I was pissed I had to go take a gdm piss test. I wanna see what they wrote now.
