Glad I’m not the only one
I am a bona fide Congress expert with letters after my name and a long list of publications backing up the claim and this is 100% true.
I’ve been screaming for years that when conservatives say “real Americans” they are not being flowery. They literally mean that many of us are not truly American
They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.

Great thread. Worth your time
Big if true
Does the “A” stand for “asshat”?
Shalom, friends!!! It’s the month of Elul, so it’s time to do #teshuva! But how??? Luckily I’ve got some pro tips!!!! youtube.com/watch?v=R_QQ...
Also a lot of those words describe real phenomena for which there isn't a great substitute. Asking us to forego the word is akin to asking us to overlook the phenomenon. Just a couple examples (1/x).

The concept of American states as independent sovereigns was necessary for ratifying the constitution but it no longer should apply. It’s one country

A 60-year-old man in Massachusetts was sentenced for threatening to bomb synagogues across the state. He allegedly said: “Time to prepare the furnaces again... I hope that you people are wiped off the face of the earth.” www.boston.com/news/crime/2...
Oklahoma will now force teachers from blue states to pass a 50-question “anti-woke” test. This from a state that ranks near the bottom in education – maybe they should test their own system before lecturing everyone else. Imagine failing at schools so badly you start blaming California teachers.
A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! 🧵 An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 “blast-proof” windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.
If a fetus is a person, and her actions caused the death of that person, shouldn’t she be on the hook for murder?
Amazing how many of the responses involve not being car reliant. It’s incredibly freeing
city dwellers: for a story, what’s your favorite part of living in a city?
Getting rid of my car when I moved into the center of a city was the absolute best thing for my health since I quit smoking. I feel free
The White House’s official X account has a long thread in which they’ve posted pictures of people arrested during the feds’ occupation of the city. Every single person in the thread is a person of color.
Why isn’t Bailey Ober’s nickname The Quizmaster? #deepcut
“We are what we pretend to be”
Among the right, city dwellers are not really American, so they can demean and calumny to their hearts’ content
Not sure why but this is more gutting to me than a lot of the more dreadful mishagos
It will take decades, if at all, to fix all the stuff he’s shitting on
This framing is deplorable. Grow a spine
"Separated bike lanes reduce collisions and save lives." It's really that simple. The research is ample. But our leaders and, sadly, our neighbors have chosen to ignore all that to coddle drivers and protect parking. Deaths like those of John Corcoran and Minh-Thi Nguyen are policy choices.
Tomorrow, the President is going to order the national guard to militarize the nation's capital (despite crime being at a 30 year low) after sending Congress home to prevent them from investigating evidence he committed sex crimes against children. The Congressional GOP is unified behind him. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
"So we're getting this information from multiple sources [...] within the mayor's office and within Metro Police Department, that President Trump, come tomorrow, will deploy the National Guard along the streets of DC." www.wusa9.com/video/news/n...

If we’re going to keep making four-hour two-part documentaries about musicians from the ‘70s and ‘80s I’m going to formally submit my request for a Warren Zevon one because I bet there’s great unseen concert footage and even better backstage stories.
Breaking Bloomberg: The FBI redacted Trump's name in the Epstein files. "An FBI [Freedom of Information Act] team redacted Trump's name—and the names of other prominent public figures—from the documents, according to three people familiar with the matter." www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
I’ll save you a click: dickhead claims he couldn’t speak his silly, bigoted opinions; speaks his silly bigoted opinions at the nazi bar; gets loads of approval from other silly bigots

Buncha dudes are coming off IL in August. They might try to stand pat and add through returners. Teams are asking a LOT for rentals right now
Much discussion of "No Fight" Dems. But there are basically two theories of how to fix the nation. One is the "ally with wealth" camp. That's @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, Gillibrand, and @mattyglesias.bsky.social The other is the "build democracy" camp. That's us. Team "Fight Back". 1/

I’ve said it before, if John Brown came back to life and saw this dude’s posts, he’d never stop throwing up

I think it’s easier to understand when looking at it through a christian-nationalist lens. They are determined to rid this country of institutions that do not fit their understanding of what it is, once was, or should be. Every other reason is pretext
A great adage from a law professor: if you let your opponent frame the issue, you’ve already lost
Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma schools chief who wants bibles in the classroom and Christianity taught to kids, just got caught watching adult content. On his work computer. During a Board of Education meeting. Read that again. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/ryan-walte...
Donald Trump sexually assaulted a 13 year old girl at Jeffrey Epstein's home. Here is the proof. Sworn Deposition of Katie Johnson: 2-11-2016 The content in this thread could be triggering to some people as it deals with matters involving sexual assault.

Most of the country either pays very little attention or gets news from the conservosphere. It’s possible they simply never heard about any of this

I would be genuinely surprised if the Justice Dept isn’t hard at work scrubbing any Trump mentions from all the Epstein documents.

“One evening, the four eldest [Buckley] children drove to a neighboring Jewish resort and left a burning cross on the lawn. Years later, Bill would recall “weeping tears of frustration” at missing out on this “great lark.””
This would be fantastic

An American who moved his family to Russia to avoid LGBTQ+ “indoctrination” is being sent to the front lines despite being assured he would serve in a non-combat role.
Why was the FBI told to flag any Epstein-related docs that mention Donald Trump—if Trump isn’t in the Epstein files? They know and they’re trying to cover it up.!
In its extensive quotation of Hebrew scriptures & Torah as the vehicles for exploitation & injustice, this thread presents Judaism itself as the problem Jesus came to solve. But that is not the case. In times like these, we gotta be careful about how we tell that story. Too much on the line. 2/2
One of the first things Vladimir Putin did on becoming president was take over NTV, the TV channel that hosted a satirical puppet show because he didn't like the Putin doll and how he was portrayed. He arrested NTV's owner and only released him when he signed the channel over. #Colbert
If you’d told me a decade ago that the NYT and WaPo would roll over for a Republican president going full fascist while the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal went on the attack — and that Bill Kristol was pressing the attack harder than Nancy Pelosi — well, I’d have had you committed.
