How come I never see people who decry “purity tests” dipping their cupped hands into a puddle to quench their thirst? Or guiding their empty cup through a roadside gutter? Or even advocating for ending the EPA? 1/2

Wake up!

I think, as this Evangelical vs Mormon war apparently kicks off, perhaps the evangelicals should do a little research into the LDS church’s history before they assume they’ll just walk over the Mormons.

Christian Nationalism Unlike Jesus, nobody forced this man to carry a cross. He chose to. But *before* he did, he made sure carrying it would have minimal impact on him, allowing him to project his Christianity on others while hoping nobody notices his own complete lack of conviction or effort.

I know you guys are all angry about Jimmy Kimmel right now, and I agree that what happened to him and Colbert is bad, but you have to know there is no “greater evil” than this. It’s not possible. Firing late-night hosts is not even in the same hemisphere as this. 1/2

I have celebrated the deaths of many awful people who in life made the world a more dangerous, less caring, worse place. And I will continue to do so, not because I lack morality/empathy, but because I don’t. I’m on Team People. Not *all* people, but people as a whole. 1/2

All the people famous for saying “f@ck your feelings, snowflake” & who less than 4 mo ago were posting “Congratulations George Floyd on 5 years’ sobriety” want you to know you’re an awful person for making fun of a murder victim, it’s making them very sad & angry, & they’re going make you pay for it

Never forget that ultimately things are this bad (and getting worse every minute) just so a dozen people worth $100 Billion can be worth $101 Billion, or $102 Billion, instead of being worth $1 Billion. 1/

Friendly reminder: The US Flag Code says when a flag is damaged, it should be disposed of “preferably by burning.” Maybe all it takes to “make America great again” is to start arresting literal Boy Scouts for burning flags!

The way identity politics *should* work, is people of varying ethnicities, genders, & sexualities get into office to ensure the underserved groups they belong to have voices in government/Congress. How it *actually* works is: 1/2

One thing about countries w/universal healthcare that isn’t often mentioned: As a result of these govts funding healthcare, they’re incentivized to ensure clean water/air, proper vaccination schedules, healthy food, & more, because failures in these areas cost the govt a lot in healthcare costs. 1/2

It’s never too late to speak up, but most of you who are just now speaking up weren’t silent about Gaza, you were actively opposing/contraditcting the obvious fact that Israel is and was performing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. You don’t get credit for speaking up now. 1/2

The US Preventive Services Task Force issues guidelines for screening cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, depression and more. RFK Jr claims he'll make America healthy, but in reality he wants to fire the experts that prevent people from getting sick because he thinks that they're "too woke."

i often think about when an xAi representative went in front of the community they’re destroying with how how much pollution they create to operate grok and just lied to the entire town

Quick thread on the WHO's SAGO report on the origins of COVID-19, highlighting key points and even *new* data. Their summary is that a zoonotic origin of COVID-19 is best supported by available data. This is consistent with most scientific reviews and statements in the rest of the literature.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Everyone’s like, “This doesn’t make sense! Why would they do these things? Why would the government loosen water/air pollution standards, cut off medical research, bring back asbestos, etc?!” It’s really simple: Old people are expensive. The rich want us to die before we get old. 1/

Cops pulled up on Vance Boelter when he was still outside Melissa Hortman’s house, they exchanged gunfire, and then Boelter went into the home and killed Hortman and her husband while the cops were cowering outside. 1/2
