Just hung this by my desk. It's why @quirkbooks only releases 25 new books per year. Each is a labor of love. (Quote via @ThisIsSethsBlog)

[Israel ישראל @Israel]

7 months ago today Hamas terrorists burned our families alive.

They murdered more than 1,000 Israeli men, women, children and babies.

They raped our sisters and friends.

They are still holding 132 of our loved ones hostage.

We will not forget. We will not allow this to happen ever again.

#LetThemGoNow

More of this…

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

Israel, I’m so sorry evil hit you on October 7th. I’m sorry your men, women & children were raped, killed, & kidnapped. I’m sorry you’ve been forced to respond. I’m sorry you’ve lost so many soldiers in this war. I’m sorry that so much of the world hates that you’re simply defending yourself. I’m sorry you’re surrounded by neighbors pledged to your extermination. I’m sorry you have to constantly explain & defend how you’re fighting this war. And Israel, I’m sorry you have to repeatedly justify your existence.

It may not seem like it right now, but most of us support you. Most of us stand with you. And most of us believe in you. Israel, you have more friends than foes on this planet. Many more. Keep up the fight.🇮🇱

This thread. This entire thread. It’s the truth and the only way forward this November…

[Sari Beth Rosenberg @saribethrose]

After last night, I feel even more determined to work to get @joebiden re-elected in November. At one point after there were some protestors in the audience shouting at the three Presidents on stage, President @barackobama made this point: 1/

[Steve Martin @UnrealBluegrass]

Everybody has their own breaking point but how can anybody publicly sit out this election?
If the desire is to remain neutral and therefore suffer no consequences you're delusional.
Trump wins, the consequences will be punitive to everyone who didn't drink the black Blood of Kali.
Be bold ,take a stand now while you can.
It's kind of important.

It’s 2023. There’s an established law that allows a judge to determine a woman’s healthcare. It’s a scene from a dystopian novel. Yet we’re living it. It only starts here. Vote them out. 🌊

[U.S. Senator John Fetterman @SenFettermanPA]

Protest this.

Not Jewish restaurants.

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

You’re right. This is a war crime. Committed by Hamas. They hid their headquarters & their munitions under civilian infrastructure and then forced those civilians to stay there. That’s a war crime. Blame Hamas.

[Chris D. Jackson @ChrisDJackson]

It's the strangest thing.

Democrats: outraged by senseless killings in Israel and Ukraine. Blames Putin and Hamas.

MAGA: outraged by senseless killings in Israel. Blames Biden.

The two parties are not the same. At all.

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

Republicans should be forced to carry Kevin McCarthy to term, even if it endangers the life of the party.

[Mikel Jollett @Mikel_Jollett]

The media simply can’t handle this moment in American history. Here’s the only story that matters:

The Republican front runner for President is a criminal fascist who wants to end democracy and the rule of law.

That’s it. Stop treating this like a normal election.

[Brett Cohen @BaconTheBooks]

When I was in grade school, I thought “Back to School Night” was a night for parents to go back to school & learn things—like a refresher. As an adult watching the denial of science & history & seeing books get banned, I’m thinking maybe some adults do need to go back to school.

[Brett Cohen @BaconTheBooks]

@CampSchodack Go white! Any details? Did captains throw/land the egg?

[Brett Cohen @BaconTheBooks]

“Saturate the airwaves with facts.” What a great phrase & 100% needs to be done. Our airwaves are currently saturated with lies because the media feeds off it. Change that narrative. Take credit for everything being done & point out everything he’s doing to destroy democracy.

[John Cusack @johncusack]

The White House and democrats should be on tv with a 100 million ad buy - pointing out everything that trumps has done and is trying to do to destroy democracy -
Over and over - it’s the best way to win and the best way to stop fascism - saturate the airwaves with facts

[Brett Cohen @BaconTheBooks]

absolutely this…⬇️⬇️⬇️

[Lindy Li @lindyli]

Republicans are waging war against

Mickey Mouse
Barbie
Science
Big Bird
Mr. Potato Head
Green M&M
Asian American Muppet
Dr. Seuss
Women
Democracy

Dems are waging war against

Inflation
Climate change
Poverty
Fascism

But yea tell me more about how the 2 parties are the same 🙄

[Brett Cohen @BaconTheBooks]

Very fair! There’s an updated version of the book—tho, it no longer includes this section. I hope you enjoy the book!

[Steven Ross @5tevenRo55]

Have to mention Single Out when you mention Jenny McCarthy! @BaconTheBooks #stuffeverymanshouldknow

[Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta @malcolmkenyatta]

Notably the Supreme Court decision doesn’t strike down preferential admissions for “legacy students” or any donors who wants to put their name on a building in exchange for their child getting a chance to attend.

[Brett Cohen @BaconTheBooks]

How can anyone see these facts and still support the Republican Party? It’s always publicity over policy. Always working for themselves and not for the people. Always creating problems instead of solving them. Wake-up!

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

When Democrats had control of the House, they passed the American Rescue Plan, a bipartisan Infrastructure bill, the first major gun safety legislation in decades, the CHIPS Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, the PACT Act and the Respect for Marriage Act.

Republicans have had a dude fight, a cat fight and a BS censure vote.

Any questions?

[Brett Cohen @BaconTheBooks]

Great season of @blackmirror! All solid eps. My ranking:

1. Beyond the Sea
2. Joan is Awful
3. Loch Henry
4. Mazey Day
5. Demon 79

I definitely preferred the Sci-Fi themes over the pure Horror. Beyond The Sea could be a top 5 episode for me along the lines of White Christmas.

Presidents don’t indict. A grand jury indicts. As a public servant, you should know this. But instead you are intentionally misleading your followers to create division.

Do better.

[Ted Cruz @tedcruz]

The Trump indictment is shameful & disgraceful.

In over two centuries of our nation's history, no new president has ever launched the entire machinery of justice on a vendetta to persecute, attack, investigate, indict, & jail the former president.

Presidents don’t indict. A grand jury indicts. As a public servant, you should know this. But instead you are intentionally misleading your followers to create division.

And, you haven’t seen the evidence…so you can’t say it’s an “injustice”. More lies.

[Kevin McCarthy @SpeakerMcCarthy]

Today is indeed a dark day for the United States of America.

It is unconscionable for a President to indict the leading candidate opposing him. Joe Biden kept classified documents for decades.

I, and every American who believes in the rule of law, stand with President Trump against this grave injustice. House Republicans will hold this brazen weaponization of power accountable.
