White nationalists are racists.

Don't look up at the haze from record wildfires.

Don't look at the flooding in Quebec, Vermont, Spain, India, Japan etc.

Don't look at the dangerously high ocean temperatures.

Don't look at the heat domes all over the world.

Don't look at the melting glaciers.

Don't look at the disappearing coral reefs.

Don't look or you might want to do something about it.

I still think it’s absurd that parents would get so angry when they caught you lying. Afterall, weren’t they the same people who lied to you about the Easter Bunny, Santa and being the smartest kid in school who could be anything in the world if you put your mind to it?

Anyone from the media that asks a question of Kevin McCarthy and does not ask if they are removing Comer from his committees because he's been working with a Chinese spy that has illegally sold weapons to Iran should not be referred to as a journalist imo.

It's been clear for a long while that he's both dumber than a box of rocks and as racist as David Duke.

Wow... you know, that's not our f'ing problem. So can any criminal demand a delay in their trial because they're applying for a job, or are scheduled to run in the NYC Marathon? Why does this SOB get his way just because he says so? (I have an immediate relative who has much the same disorders, so I have 70 years of experience... plus my dad knew TFG when he was starting out.)

"Watch for higher education professionals to be increasingly targeted as agents of the destruction of family, decency, and nation as GOP politicians compete to seem more extremist and authoritarian —which will bring them even further into line with autocrats such as Orbán.

Far from being 'ivory towers' closed off from society, higher education institutions are often front-line targets of those who seek to destroy democracy."

My school got some #soniasotomayor books delivered a few years ago, I believe they were from a grant we applied to. We were delighted. We need more books that depict women of color in positions of power and encourage kids to be kind and brave. This #AP article is more GOP whataboutery. Selling books with a positive message is not the same as having a lobbying billionaire pay for your vacation.

Hey y'all, do me a favor. If you've seen #SheHulk, please take a minute to go to #RottenTomatoes and rate the series. #Incels have been at it CRUSHING the rating. It currently sits at 32% audience score and it does not deserve that. The #incels did the same to #CaptainMarvel. They just hate a series or movie with a fantastic actor who NOT the archetypal male! 🤬

Trump no longer considered immune in E. Jean Carroll defamation lawsuit. Her case against him for damages while he was pres will proceed to trial without DOJ defending him and he'll have to pay damages if he loses (which I feel safe in saying he will).https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4091679-trump-wont-be-considered-immune-in-e-jean-carroll-defamation-lawsuit/

If the concern about "fairness in sports" with the trans panic were valid, you'd see a pattern of coaches trying to recruit trans athletes to their teams to get an edge.

If a foreigner attempts to sabotage the U.S. military, he is a terrorist. If an American tries to sabotage the U.S. military then he is a domestic terrorist. Tuberville, this failed coach, failed Alabamian, failed man who never served a day in uniform, is a domestic terrorist! #military #terrorism #Alabama #tuberville
