This has got to be the most accurate shit I have ever seen in my entire life. 🤦🤦🤦

If anybody wants to know why Gen X is always mad, it's because we had to replace our record collections with a tape collection that we had to replace with a CD collection that we had to replace with an MP3 collection, and now we need a subscription to listen to music.

Trump ran for President because Obama made fun of him. RFK Jr endorsed Trump because Kamala wouldn't meet with him. Our problems are caused by the egos of small, petty men

Can we just recognize that 100-day campaigns are what we should always have? Could get rid of that insidious money in politics and the American people wouldn’t have to suffer through year-long campaign commercials. And elected officials could spend more time doing their real jobs

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

Fun Fact: None of the money raised for Kamala will be used to pay for her legal fees, unlike the other guy.

The reason Christians were so confused as to think the Olympic opening celebration was "The Last Supper", instead of a celebration of The Feast of Dionysus, was because they were seeing in real time how Christianity stole imagery and stories from other older pantheons.

In DC, researchers found that red light cams were systemically concentrated in Black communities, resulting in more tickets for Black drivers. Meanwhile there’s no evidence Black drivers speed/drive differently than anyone else. This is systemic racism. https://t.co/In38dUQshA

Dear Christian Nationalists,

Buckle up and watch! 🔥

As a pastor, I’m much less concerned about those who question God or even doubt God than I am about those who claim to know the mind of God better than anyone else and therefore have the right to impose their beliefs on everyone else.

Michigan voter: President Biden was very confident, very reassuring of what he's done for our country. I didn't get a glimpse of anything involving age or the lack of being able to deliver as the President of the United States

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Trump did 2 big things in office: Pack an extremist Court to end Roe & cut taxes for the rich.

@JoeBiden has canceled student debt, capped the price of insulin, passed the largest climate package in history, and so much more.

The contrast in records couldn't be more stark.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

If I may, there’s something I need to get off my chest.

As democracy remains under siege, it has been frustrating to watch how the press covers politics these days.

I am reminded by lessons that came to me during the Nixon years as a CBS News correspondent, which I’ll add here:

1. Enough with Both-sides-ism

When one side lies intentionally and repeatedly, they are no longer entitled to the benefit of the doubt. They should be held to account, right away. Do not simply repeat the narratives they spew.

2. Prioritize Live Fact-Checking

Rigorous and robust fact-checking is the best defense against misinformation, intentional lies, and deflection.

If Trump says the sky is green, the story isn’t that the sky is now green; the story is that the sky is still blue and Trump got it wrong.

3. Ask Lawmakers Hard Questions

Ask about the fundamental principles of democracy. Push them to go on the record that Biden won the 2020 election.

Ask if they support the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

This writing is not to offer any claim of knowing it all. Your correspondent has made his share of mistakes, but after more than seven decades I believe I have picked up a few useful guideposts.

Good journalism is always worth it. Our democracy depends on it.

The same people bitching about Biden forgiving student loans
Are the exact same people wanting me to pay for their kids to go to fancy private schools

[BythePeople @BythePeople18]

Every time Democrats fix the economy, voters get cocky and think if they vote for Republicans they will get a good economy & tax cuts. Since 1921, Republicans have delivered tax cuts to the rich & have led us into economic collapse in 1929,1981,2007 and 2020. Never vote for them.
