Just here for the ride- political science, language and science nerd.

@lhfang CRT is an invented boogeyman, just like Antifa. But quite effective. Amazing that so many people play into this crap. 💩

[The Hard Life of a Sloth 🦥 @CrustacianCrust]

Interesting!

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

For the every spicy take on Virginia you read (CRT is the new southern strategy, all politics is education politics, etc) spare a thought for the electoral thermostat.

The WH’s party has lost *all but one* VA gov race since the 1970s. That’s a 1-11 record. @SteveKornacki

@SpiroAgnewGhost My God didn’t we learn anything from Obama’s lame duck centrist BS? People want action, not crumbs thrown at them. Pass meaningful legislation that will boost Americans quality of life (paid family leave, free community college, etc…) and you will get more support.

[The Hard Life of a Sloth 🦥 @CrustacianCrust]

@AlexPadilla4CA Democrats need to pass meaningful legislation- complaining about Trump and the big lie isn’t enough.

@fightandstandup @ananavarro Trump has more than 16 women, many young, for sexual abuse and inappropriate behavior. But you ignore that and get on your soap box! Your cry about Hunter but stayed silent re: all of the Trump children abuses. Spare me with your fake outrage. 🤣

@fightandstandup @ananavarro Closing your eyes at a long meeting is offensive va a man who grabs women’s pussies and tries to overthrow Democratically elected Presidents? Sure Karen.

If after celebrating a new child, men suffered from weeks of hemorrhoids, hand/foot/face swelling, and genital bleeding, Paid Family Leave wouldn’t be up for debate. It would be in the Bill of Rights. #PaidLeaveForAll

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Say you're making $50,000/yr in Connecticut. There's no way you can afford child care. Average cost in CT is $15,000.

#BuildBackBetter cuts that cost to $3,500 (and pays for this by requiring billionaires/corporations to pay their fair share).

Just a game changer for families.

[Lindy Li @lindyli]

Funny how ONE man — who’s so wealthy from coal and EpiPens that he and his family never have to work again — is the one who’s telling women that we can’t have paid leave

Funny how he’s been a Senator for more than a decade and he’s only this week “doing research” on paid leave

@MetalMission2 Kurt Cobain. I was 17, a child of the 90s alternative scene. We were collectively sad in my high school when it happened. Also impactful because he left a small baby and a wife behind.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Tell that to the dead Jews murdered in the Pittsburgh and Poway synagogues, or the dead Muslims murdered in the two mosques in Christchurch, or the dead Latinos murdered in the El Paso Walmart.

[The Hard Life of a Sloth 🦥 @CrustacianCrust]

@KweenInYeIIow Yeah, this is so much more offensive than his God Taco Carlson calling immigrants dirty animals. 🙄

[The Hard Life of a Sloth 🦥 @CrustacianCrust]

@FPWellman Since when did Christianity teach you to hate your neighbors, Aka human brothers and sisters? What a bullshit interpretation of ‘Christian’ values.

[The Hard Life of a Sloth 🦥 @CrustacianCrust]

@nakedbatsf @RonFilipkowski 🤣 I’d do the same. Evil? Maybe, but also a good lesson.

[The Hard Life of a Sloth 🦥 @CrustacianCrust]

@RightWingCope She’s definitely spitting on that poor person with that level of vitriol. That’s COVID spit. 🤮😱

[The Hard Life of a Sloth 🦥 @CrustacianCrust]

@ananavarro He’s such racist trash. I still remember how he tried to claim tacos as ‘American’ food while saying people from Latin America made the US ‘dirtier’. So much verbal diarrhea has come out of his mouth, it’s hard to keep up.

[The Hard Life of a Sloth 🦥 @CrustacianCrust]

@mehdirhasan @MSNBC From the very beginning when Trump ran for President, I saw the fascist rhetoric and practices. When I pointed them out, people laughed and said I was exaggerating. So dangerous and frustrating for those of us who have seen it normalized.

[The Hard Life of a Sloth 🦥 @CrustacianCrust]

Ever since Trump ran for President fascist tendencies were displayed by him and the Republican Party. Those of us who pointed it out were ridiculed, told we were ‘exaggerating.’ Now fascist policies are just being implemented like nothing, sponsored by State TV, aka Fox ‘news.’

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

"Everytime I [have talked about fascism] someone has accused me of exaggeration, of hyperbole..well tonight I'm here to report that we are at the book-banning stage of American authoritarianism. Are you still not worried?"
