Trump: "We don't need Canada's lumber. So what I'm doing is I'll be signing an executive order freeing up our forests so that we're allowed to take down trees and make a lot of money ... we don't need anything from Canada." (March 2025) @atrupar

BREAKING: Fire has erupted at the UAE's Fujairah petroleum industrial site following an Iranian drone attack. This contradicts the UAE Defense Ministry's earlier claim that all four Iranian missiles were intercepted, with only one falling into the sea.

The amount of people defending Blanche saying you have to show ID to walk into a restaurant is really making me question the public education system

@joe_wolfe @lakie35 @Angry_Staffer I didn't defend Todd Blanche. I asked the Democratic leadership to reply to his stupid voter ID suppression tactics instead of his stupid comment about restaurants. Nice try bud

@joe_wolfe @lakie35 @Angry_Staffer Minutiae? Millions are being disenfranchised and 90% of the Internet is arguing about whether or not they get carded at restaurants. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask politicians to respond by doing their job

@joe_wolfe @lakie35 @Angry_Staffer As a professor, I correct the same misinformation every semester. Because it's my job. Activists and politicians can't just say, "I've already explained this." It's their job to keep explaining it until everyone understands it, not just you and me.

The Hormuz Letter
The Hormuz Letter@HormuzLetter·
BREAKING: A South Korean vessel has been attacked by the IRGC in the Strait of Hormuz, very close to the UAE coast, per Yonhap. The attack triggered UAE missile alerts across Dubai and Sharjah, which were cleared after the missiles hit the vessel and not UAE territory. The IRGC Navy has subsequently broadcast on maritime emergency Channel 16 that the Strait of Hormuz is closed to all vessels of any nationality or type, warning that any ship crossing "will be destroyed."

@peterttodd @lakie35 @Angry_Staffer My problem is that it’s a skewed distribution. Responses disproportionately focused on Blanche’s dumb comment rather than the substance of his policy argument. That won’t help millions of disenfranchised

@ICEnEC2 @Angry_Staffer It adds an unnecessary bureaucratic layer to the process of voting that disproportionately affects poor people who have to cart their kids to the DMV during a work day. We don’t show ID in NYS. Everything is fine

@drewhkinney @Angry_Staffer My issue is this, I’ve lived in Ca for most of my voting years. When I voted in person, always had to show ID. Everytime. They would check my ID, with the address of record. Not sure why it’s just an issue now. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

@swerpette1 @ljordanplatt @Angry_Staffer 3/ this is a far-fetched scenario. There’s no evidence it happens. It’s harmful because it adds an unnecessary bureaucratic layer to the process. That disproportionately affects the poor, who have to manage a DMV trip with kids during a work day. Meanwhile that’s not necessary

@swerpette1 @ljordanplatt @Angry_Staffer 2/ and then I lose my vote! So what’s the point? When my neighbor shows up to vote, they’ll say, “You voted.” My neighbor will be furious and report it. They would check cameras.

I reported an anti-Semitic post (a reply) to X last night as abusive and harmful. This is a direct quote from the reply: “You lie like a Jew.” X just informed me that no violation occurred. Seriously? Anyone else experience this?

@MariaMonicaR @Angry_Staffer Wow, it’s really disheartening to get attacked for suggesting we eviscerate Blanche over his stupid voter ID argument instead of over whether restaurants card people. Not sure mockery is going to help millions being disenfranchised by the Trump admin.

@ICEnEC2 @Angry_Staffer I am opposed to voter ID laws. I’m saying that the focus should be on how harmful voter ID laws are — not whether restaurant bars card people. I can’t believe how much I’m being attacked over such an obvious point.

@drewhkinney @Angry_Staffer He didn’t say, or correct himself to saying a bar. Even at that, does “everyone” have to show ID when they enter a bar?? Absolutely not. 20% of the time. If that. Quit trying to cover for the idiocy of these people.
