By putting forward divisive bills that misrepresent what is and isn't antisemitism, the GOP is muddying the waters on this important issue. Congress should be spending our time and efforts to meaningfully combat antisemitism.

We can be as frustrated & angry as we need to be. I get it. But if you have any knowledge of our history at all & think Trump getting back into the White House wouldn't be the worst national political result we've ever seen, I honestly, genuinely, don't know what to fucking say.

An argument straight out of Reconstruction. In the real world, economists estimate that in US, $50 trillion moved from bottom 90% to top 1% between 1981-2021.

I am so sick of the moral panic about everything but killing people.

'These student occupations are no different than Jan 6th!'

One is being done in protest of mass death, the other was being done in protest of adhering to the results of a democratic election. Both protests involve people in buildings, I guess

Who has ever been punished for being pro-war in America? When have we seen pro-war protesters beaten & subdued by police forces? Of course we never call them pro-war protesters, either, we usually refer to them as Senator.

The lesson every generation of American college students learns is that the government will beat & arrest you without any hesitation if it means being able to wage war with greater facility.

I mean I think we just lose sight sometimes of how very, very bad Donald Trump is and was, how his presidency was precisely the disaster the alarmists predicted it would be, and how he's gotten much, much worse since leaving office.

An armed teacher is more likely to shoot a child or themself than they are to shoot an attacker.

We need to stop retweeting racist bait. u guys are paying for their groceries (velveeta and fish sticks). They’re not gonna see your tweet and suddenly feel bad. Just take a screenshot.

The first data I saw that really debunked all these racial statistics for me was seeing the Justice Dept's stats on crime, and how the rates are exactly the same across all races when adjusted for income

Nothing showed me more clearly that evangelicalism was obsessed with Empire than the framing of the caring for 'the least of these' during the pandemic as 'capitulating to the culture.'

There are fungi at Chernobyl that EAT radiation and nuclear fallout – and that’s only the start of this wild story 🍄☢️

Buckle up for a wild thread about radioactive boars, fungal space suits, radiation-detecting fungi, black frogs and a good dose of hope! 🧵

One company received $3.4 million to clear a single encampment. At another clearing, $2 million was spent on police presence alone.
