Hey @HiltonHotels I’d really like to check in but I’m on a handwritten list waiting to receive a phone call when they have a room ready. Absolutely no estimate on the wait. Homewood Suites New Orleans. Past check in time. I’d much rather be spending this time I’m on my vacation.

A friendly reminder that Article II Section 4 does NOT say that if you impeach and remove a POTUS, that the VP and the cabinet are also automatically impeached. This section simply lists all the positions subject to impeachment.

🚨 Ricky Gervais on God & Why The Universe Exists - "Why is there SOMETHING rather than Nothing"

“I’m an agnostic atheist. Technically everyone’s agnostic… no one knows whether there’s a God. We don’t know."

"An agnostic atheist is someone who doesn’t know there’s a God or not, as no one does. So you’re not convicted of your atheism?”

Atheism isn’t a belief system, it’s simply rejecting the claim that there is a God.

Are you an agnostic atheist too? Or do you believe?

Netflix just got a $2.8 BILLION payout from Paramount for its failed Warner Bros. deal.

Then Netflix turned around and raised prices on millions of customers.

If non-citizens were voting in massive numbers, Republicans would’ve shown proof by now. They haven’t. Because they can’t.

[Democrats @TheDemocrats]

Republicans control all 3 branches of government.

Democrats introduced 7 bills to fund TSA.

Each one was blocked by Republicans.

Basically everything that has come out of American politics today has been absolute shit except for this.

Afroman. A true PATRIOT.

I have been deliberately silent on social media for a while. I use all my social media platforms to promote education & make dreams come true for young minds. I rarely post anything about family or politics.
This morning, Israel demolished the building I have an apartment in. It took 22 years of my work here & 20 years of my wife’s work to own this apartment. This madness has to stop.

[Dr Myriam François @MyriamFrancoisC]

Why are our news media not showing us what is happening inside Israel? Where is the actual news showing us the results of the Iran strikes - extent of damage - there are claims senior people were targeted and even injured, etc . What business are you people in exactly

[Janel Comeau 🍁 @VeryBadLlama]

if the phrase "nitrogen fixing" means nothing to you, I promise you are wildly overestimating how well you'll do in a post-apocalypse

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

The US soldiers who are getting killed in Iran were not heroes. They did not die defending their country. They did not die fighting to protect Americans. They died advancing the geostrategic agendas of oligarchs and empire managers which benefit ordinary Americans in no way.

It's important not to valorize these people for two reasons. Firstly, it assists US military recruitment by falsely portraying these imperial stormtrooper careers as noble and heroic. Secondly, it falsely frames the war they died in as a righteous cause which is making the world a better place, rather than as a war of aggression against a nation that posed literally zero threat to their homeland.

These are not harmless little white lies. They are extremely destructive propaganda narratives which facilitate acts of mass military slaughter on real human beings.

Don't assist the warmongers in circulating these lies. Don't pretend they are true to help people feel nice feelings about the dead soldiers. People should not be feeling nice feelings about the dead soldiers. People should be angry and upset, and they should be demanding that this horrific war end immediately.

Those soldiers did not die for any noble reason. They died for money, for power, and for Israel. They wasted their lives, and they died for stupid, unworthy reasons. Don't let anyone claim otherwise.

[Ounka @OunkaOnX]

An anti-war ad from a decade ago is going viral. Because the same wars keep happening-for the same interests, at the same cost, with the same lies

[Malcolm Harris @BigMeanInternet]

I wonder if there's any section of Iranian leadership that is thinking, like, "If we have to fight a war with America this decade it might as well be against these dumb motherfuckers"

Can someone just please interrupt him and say "that's not fucking true" just ONCE. JFC.

[Terry Moran 🇺🇸 @TerryMoran]

If this happened in any other country, we would know what to call it: The autocrat taking revenge on a man who angers him. A man who dares to criticize him.

The most important thing in American life right now is to see the thing in front of your face, and name it.
