@SneakyTradez @Phil_Lewis_ It literally said freedom and listed policy goals that benefit everyone. Maybe listen again?

@Phil_Lewis_ A lot of you need to focus on policies not skin color

Kamala Harris has released the first video of her presidential campaign, featuring Beyoncé's song, "Freedom":

@RexChapman Donnie Darko

This isn’t hard to follow: Trump gave military intel to the Russians. The Russians, who are extremely close allies with Iran, gave it to Iran. Iran gave that information to Hamas. Hamas used it to attack Israel. This is why it intel security matters. Republicans DO NOT CARE.

TRUMP MUGSHOT JUST DROPPED #TrumpMugshot

@VeryBadLlama When the world wants to learn English, they hire Dutch teachers.

Dutch person with perfect English: you’ll have to forgive my pronunciation, I speak four languages and I’m afraid my English isn’t as strong as I’d like to it be French person who knows 6 words of English and can pronounce 3 of them: Je suis fluent dans l’anglais

@TheTennisLetter Sad but true, and at the same time, Monfils seems like a player who could have won multiple slams. He's one of the game's greatest, and I wish he had a "do over."

Coco Gauff jokes that she did not want her record with Iga Swiatek to be like Gael Monfils' record with Novak Djokovic: "It feels good. To be honest, I don't know if I was thinking too far ahead. No offense to Gael, but I did not want that record, like the Novak and Gael record. I didn't want that." 😂

$7,900 in 1955 is equivalent to $90,110 today. $49.74 in 1955 is equivalent to $558 today.

@TheLizMac @marwilliamson Are you insane? PragerU is proud of indoctrinating children and its founder says so on stages across the nation, fully mic'd, with cameras rolling. You make accusations in a mirror. youtu.be/4D-x-M5MFuo?t=… You're the sound that Satan makes when accusing Mary - with your mouth.

@marwilliamson Sounds like you're very pro-indoctrination.

New Hampshire school officials are tabling a plan to give students credit for an online course from Prager U. That is what happens when people stand up and use their voices, set their boundaries and draw their line. The plan will be brought up again, and Granite Staters need to reject it again. This is not a time to disinform or miseducate our children. It’s a form of sabotage - of them and of our democracy - that must not be allowed.

@Brcremer Or, what if they just stopped litigating ancient symbols as they LARP a planetary disaster, seducing rubes with bloody end times fantasies that randomly erupt in gunfire on the innocents and falsely accused, while they hoard riches and plan perdition for the rest of us?

Imagine if our Christian view of the End Times was: centered on preparing for Christ rather than an antichrist. centered on the mark of the lamb rather than the beast. centered on preparing for redeeming the earth rather than escaping it. centered on hope rather than fear.

@TennisTV This is either the best set of tennis anyone has played this year, or DE is high on the nectar of the Gods.

Stunning the crowd into silence 😯 A *majestic* lob from Dan Evans!

The Big Problem is that we sort all the psychopaths to the top. Under-regulated capitalism has allowed a strain of raging psychopathy to take control of key sectors of life, including business and politics. At the root of this dynamic is that our system rewards people who don’t care about others because they have an array of options that people with empathy don’t have. It’s hard to be competitive when your competition is willing to do inhumane things you would never be willing to do. So the people who are willing usually win. In this way, we sort all the high-functioning sociopaths and psychopaths to the top of the pyramid—and reward them lavishly for it. And once they get there, those people want to surround themselves with others who have no interest in empathy either—so they replace anyone who won’t behave like a sociopath with someone who will. That’s how you get Robert Mercer, David Koch, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Donald Trump and the entire GOP cult. Now is the part it gets weird. Since the goal of these psychopaths is to make people behave in ways that are counter to their own interests—so they can steal people’s money for themselves—they have devised systems to turn “normies” into empathy-free zombies. Large swaths of our digital and media existence have been captured by psychopaths who intentionally created platforms and methodologies for brainwashing people into their own cruel worldviews. Look around. Social media and disinformation has converted a large percentage of our citizens into people who do not care about anyone but themselves and their cult leaders. The sinking feeling we have is driven in large part by people we know behaving in ways that seem sadistic and alien. We see cruelty, chaos and hate—and it feels wrong. It is wrong. At least a third of the country has joined or been influenced by a fascist death cult. The world is, in fact, going crazy. You, dear reader, are not. We have given the keys to our future to psychopathic white men who have proven that they want nothing but our destruction so they can pick up the pieces for themselves. Worse, those same people have not only sold their own souls, they are trying to sell us to our enemies. Vladimir Putin, a psychopathic sadist with KGB training, is the perfect ally in their project. They are not scared of Putin. They want him to ruin the world. They want World War III. They want the End Times. Why? Because they believe it benefits them. And that’s all that matters. The fact is that psychopathy, cruelty and chaos is not what the vast majority of humanity wants. Most of us want to raise our kids in a world that cares about human beings, that cares about equality, that wants to move towards peace, not violence. The key thing we have to address is the control that psychopaths have over information people bathe in. Until we do that, we will continue to lose people to this indoctrination system. Rupert Murdoch, the Kochs, the Mercers, Thiel, Musk, Zuckerberg, etc. are creating hundreds of millions more of themselves—except their clones are under control. These men do not deserve our trust. They deserve nothing but prison. They have intentionally poisoned us—think tobacco industry but 100 times larger—to benefit themselves and our enemies. Fascism is fundamentally psychopathic, it is not ideological. It cannot be negotiated with. It must be defeated.

GOP: We want a government built on Biblical values. Dems: Woot! We're feeding the poor! GOP: Wait. Dems: Healing the sick up in this motherfucker! GOP: No, not like that. Dems: [Grabs the mic] ALL LOANS FORGIVEN AFTER SEVEN YEARS. GOP: oh no...

@VivekGRamaswamy Yeah, no. We've seen this before. Soviets cried "bourgeousie!" and replaced skilled workers with handpicked loyalists. Nothing worked. Everyone starved. Nowadays, Republicans cry "deep state!" and replace skilled workers with toadies. Everyone drowns. "Heckuva job, Brownie!"

End the permanent state. As President, I will repeal civil-service protections for federal employees and replace these managerial protections with sunset clauses. If the President can’t hold his position for more than 8 years, neither should bureaucrats.

@Justalurke @ProfessaJay Everybody believes in the future value of a dollar, until you bring up the dollars stolen due to race, then it's "Why discriminate now on the basis of race?"

@ProfessaJay A very, very bad thing happened in the past so the government should discriminate on the basis of race. Is that the lesson here? If not, what is the lesson?

@JeffAndDonkeys Well, you look like one of them and your little wagon is a symbol of their nostalgia. Not a test of your thesis.

When I had this wreck yesterday strangers came out of the woodwork to offer help, and stay and give help. This is Trump country and I'll bet ⅔ of them were Trumpers. If we'd turn off the TV and computer, quit letting people tell us to hate each other, we'd be *a lot* better off.

@ThePlumLineGS How is anti-fascism "far-left" and "extreme"? Seems pretty down-the-middle to me.

This has not been reported anywhere in the national press. In Bernards Township, NJ, a five-member majority of the school board rejected a sociology textbook due to its accurate depictions of recent events. The objections are really something. Behold: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…

Insane: A school board in New Jersey just rejected a sociology textbook in part because: it described the police killing of Michael Brown without including his size/weight it didn't falsely hype antifa's role in the "2020 riots" This is a new frontier: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…
