We live in such an interesting time. There are people who take drugs so they can hallucinate, relax, stay awake, or be “fun”. And then there’s a whole other side of the population who takes drugs so they don’t hallucinate, relax too much, stay awake, or be “fun”.

You know how to prove you cannot win an argument? Start calling people names. When the argument moves from conceptual debate to personal commentary, the argument is over. Name calling is for 5th graders with no thought capacity for real arguments.

Congratulations to everyone who said the #Biden administration didn’t do enough for disaster recovery efforts. Good luck with rebuilding your houses! nytimes.com/2025/02/20/cli… via @NYTimes

For all you who wanted to say the fires in LA were because of prioritizing DEI, who will you blame when the Forestry Services has fired all of the people who provide fire prevention management services? Will it still be the DEI programs fault? apple.news/ATdXLuMBgRqOtm…

Let’s be clear, Trump’s tariffs will be paid by Americans. Like a tax. They will raise prices across the board. On food. On gas. On families. On small businesses. An average American can expect to pay an annual tax of around $2600. So much for his promise of lower prices.

Thread: President Trump explained his tariffs in part by pointing to the carnage caused by #fentanyl. That's my area of expertise so here's my fact-check of the White House fact sheet released today. 1/ whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/20…

“I voted for Trump because he was going to make the cost of goods cheaper.” Well day 13 and prices are about to go up. Congratulations you played yourself. apple.news/ASkBR2SbIShKyA…

Lol sounds like a bunch of sell outs to me. Stand up for your values or shut up. Ad companies are afraid of big bad ⁦@elonmusk⁩. What’s the point of banding together if you’re going to crumble like wet toilet paper when he stands up. #pathetic apple.news/AX5sHfQtBS22Vj…

@LauraPowellEsq @paulaptlb @TheRation_alist I’m interested in your policies. Please explain how you would do this if you were in charge of the decision-making.

@paulaptlb @TheRation_alist I was responding broadly to the idea of raising taxes on the rich to help the middle class. I do think helping in the case of disasters is an appropriate role for government. But I also think the community would be better positioned to help themselves with different policies.

Radical idea: Let’s do everything we can to help out these people before we send another penny to Zelenskyy.

I’ve been off of X for a while because it’s flooded with unfettered stupidity. The information about immigrants that is being thrown around is so incredibly speculative and fear-mongering, it literally hurts my brain how uninformed so many people are.

@NickDiPaolo @VP @FEMA_Deanne @NC_Governor *an idiot. If you’re going to call people stupid, at least come correct.

@VP @FEMA_Deanne @NC_Governor hey let’s flood the internet with pics of stupid Kamala doing Presidential things, that way the idiot ppl will think she’s Presidential and vote for her. And btw if you vote for her you’re and idiot.

I was just briefed by @FEMA_Deanne Criswell on the latest developments about the ongoing impacts of Hurricane Helene. We also discussed our Administration's continued actions to support emergency response and recovery.   I also spoke with @NC_Governor Cooper about the ongoing rescue and recovery efforts in North Carolina.   Our Administration will continue to stay in constant contact with state and local officials to ensure communities have the support and resources they need.   Doug and my thoughts are with all those who lost loved ones and those whose homes, businesses, and communities were damaged or destroyed during this disaster.

With gambling now involved in the NFL, could someone sue the NFL for rigging games? That’s 3 weeks in a row that refs made a blatantly wrong call in favor of KC on national tv that saves the game for them.

This whole situation is disgusting. The thing that really keeps coming to mind is that every report mentioning Calais Campbell includes “2019 Walter Payton Man of the Year.” Why do we have to point out that he is a good person? Shouldn’t that be assumed? apple.news/AgkKzQ3wzQMqBb…

Trump’s claims about Harris’ changing her racial identity is heinous. Biracial existence is plagued with the constant thought of “do I fit in here” and his comments are continuation of the “you don’t belong” trope. Don’t let that be what rules this country. Not for me. But for we

This is a platform for free speech right? What a blatant contradiction. Do better⁩ ⁦⁦@elonmusk⁩ and stop manipulating the people with only speech you approve. X suspends ‘White Dudes for Harris’ account after massive fundraiser apple.news/AaIgE4riGR1W8U…

Great article by a knowledgeable and honorable legal scholar. Trump Was Convicted by a Jury, Not by His Political Enemies - The Wall Street Journal apple.news/A-D8ygTQ7QFWEE…

3) If a future president is immune for everything done during their presidency, then the only measure of accountability is firing them through impeachment. Then they can go about their business as a regular person and cannot be prosecuted.

2) If the prosecution is political, a judge and jury will determine this with all the evidence, and again will be acquitted or dismissed.

The premise that future presidents will be indicted for their policy actions if Trump isn’t granted immunity is flawed in several ways. 1) If the action was done for legal purposes and then prosecuted after presidency, the review of the situation will lead to an acquittal.
