Got my first @onbeeper notification on my @Pebble watch!
I love having all my messaging apps in one place for a change.
Great stuff, @ericmigi!

@_ParadiseParis1 What was the issue with the trial? They put on 21 witnesses.

[Matthew Graff, MDiv, JD (in progress) @MattGDiv]

@realAFLF Have you ever read the law?

[Matthew Graff, MDiv, JD (in progress) @MattGDiv]

@MsAngieV82 Stand Your Ground applies inside your own home and when imminent fear of bodily injury, you absolute imbecile.

[Matthew Graff, MDiv, JD (in progress) @MattGDiv]

@IsaacHayes3 Being bullied doesn’t give anyone the right to turn their bully into a murder victim.
We once lived in a world where values actually mattered, and it’s clear that yours are empty and baseless. Thank God no one actually rules this country by the values you put forward.

@MercifulMessage Teaching a child to pull a trigger is not teaching a child “skills.”
Christians in the south teach children how to hunt, which is not simply for “killing.” Hunting is about respecting life, understanding the balance of nature, and knowing the power and responsibility of a weapon

[Matthew Graff, MDiv, JD (in progress) @MattGDiv]

@DukieTang @Raw_Combat_ It’s could be self-defense, but only up to the point where he pulls out a deadly weapon. At that time he is committing a crime.

Incredible win for the universe that Jared's thinking is finally more public. Every ounce of Jared is force multiplier for those lucky enough to be in his orbit.

[Matthew Graff, MDiv, JD (in progress) @MattGDiv]

@Ramonm23 @allenanalysis Hilarious that you act as if you’re knowledgeable but don’t know the difference between a signed agreement and a list of demands.
Iran’s “10 things that will not happen” is not an executed agreement.
What a joke.

[Matthew Graff, MDiv, JD (in progress) @MattGDiv]

I wonder how much snow he shoveled with the camera off.

[matt bernstein @mattxiv]

having a mayor who actually cares about his constituents and is young enough to be in the streets shoveling snow with us feels almost illegal. like oh i didn’t know it could work that way

[Matthew Graff, MDiv, JD (in progress) @MattGDiv]

Look, Mohamad Safa just found out that ethics and morality are different.
Everyone cheer!

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

Slavery was legal.
Segregation was legal.

Never use legality as a guide to morality.

[Matthew Graff, MDiv, JD (in progress) @MattGDiv]

People gathering to protest state action isn’t a protest because Brad said it.
Brad is always right.
Good job, Brad.

[Brad @BraddrofliT]

Stop saying Alex Pretti was at a protest. Kristi Noem was lying. When ICE raids a neighborhood, small groups of people congregate, blow whistles to warn the community, and record ICE's actions. That is not a protest. It’s humanity in action.

[Matthew Graff, MDiv, JD (in progress) @MattGDiv]

Sharia law also has the death penalty for homosexuality and blasphemy.
Oh and important caveat, the guy who wrote the Qur’an is grandfathered in and his paedophilia doesn’t count.
You really want to go down this road?

[Dr Tariq Tramboo @tariqtramboo]

Because for a paedophile, sharia law has a death penalty.

[Matthew Graff, MDiv, JD (in progress) @MattGDiv]

Literally idiotic.
The comparison is flawed. The conclusion is flawed.
Social media is a cancer that kills discourse.

[Matthew Graff, MDiv, JD (in progress) @MattGDiv]

An SUV has been a deadly weapon for a very long time.
A legally carried gun is obviously still a threat.
Duh.

Stop being reductionist for clicks and attention from your fans.

That being said, if an ICE agent shot an unarmed man, the agent should be in prison posthaste.

[Matthew Graff, MDiv, JD (in progress) @MattGDiv]

Why would someone empathize with performative emotion? The emotion is fake, and the fact that you can’t see that is a problem.
Stop being conned by content creators.

[Eleanor 🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️ 🇸🇪 ☭ @lunarleahhhhh]

im fully convinced there isnt a single right-winger that has any form of empathy

[Matthew Graff, MDiv, JD (in progress) @MattGDiv]

This is what happens when you argue from emotion instead of logic, and when you are perpetually online it artificially heightens your emotional baseline, slowly destroying your ability to reason and pushing you to more fringe, extremist views.
This argument is irrational.

[Hutch @hutchinson]

@SeanDaBlack Both you and him are complicit in the 2 deaths in MN. I'm going to tell both of you guys to get fucked in every election you continue to help republicans in. Get. Fucked.

[Matthew Graff, MDiv, JD (in progress) @MattGDiv]

Please listen to Hutch. Nominating Newsom would be fantastic.

[Hutch @hutchinson]

@IbaraEleven Next time just say “I don’t aaaactually care what happens to people when republicans win.”

It’s shorter.

[Matthew Graff, MDiv, JD (in progress) @MattGDiv]

Remember, kids. There is always a less intelligent person out there.

[TheFrenchie @ML3democrats]

None of these things would be happening under her. Not a single one. America, you made your biggest mistake in 2024.

[Matthew Graff, MDiv, JD (in progress) @MattGDiv]

Correct, but is lowering student debt going to matter when Russia, China, and Iran are on our doorstep threatening war?

[Maine @TheMaineWonk]

Instead of blowing $700B on buying Greenland, US could:

- Wipe out 40% of student debt ($1.7T total)

- Fund a year's defense budget (~$800B)

- End homelessness nationwide (est. $20B) & sustain it for decades

- Build massive green energy infra ($700B matches recent laws)

[Matthew Graff, MDiv, JD (in progress) @MattGDiv]

You don’t have words? Is that because you dismissed the concept out of hand and don’t understand the geopolitical forces at play?
Your foreign affairs experience begins and ends with what? The Olympics?

[Hutch @hutchinson]

I don’t even have words for the Greenland situation. He’s serious.

Trump/MAGA are not some slight deviation. They’re uniquely dangerous. I really can’t process anyone on the left who is not blue no matter who straight ticket dem committed for the foreseeable future.
