Only in America does someone step out in a $150 sneaker, sip $8 coffee, post from a $1,000 phone, and claim they are oppressed and capitalism is broken!

[Bill Mitchell @mitchellvii]

Crude goes up and gas prices jump immediately. Crude fell to a $70 barrel and gas prices barely budged.

It's all a scam folks.

[Bill Mitchell @mitchellvii]

Think about it.

Any blackpill Republican who sits out the midterms allowing Democrats to take power because the GOP isn't "good enough" is like setting yourself on fire because you're angry the AC doesn't work.

We re-elect 97% of these fools. You want things to improve, vote and elect better ones.

[Rep. Nancy Mace @RepNancyMace]

Voter ID does not prevent voting. It prevents cheating.

Pass the SAVE America Act.

I started gymnastics in 1974, just two years after Title IX passed.

Gyms were popping up all over the country because 1) Olga Korbut was a sensation at the 1972 Olympics; 2) and Title IX gave busy athletic little girls like me the opportunity to take our passion for sport beyond recreation.

If we worked hard, we could compete on our private club teams at the state and even national level; in our schools, through high school and into college.

I loved the sport instantly. By the time I was 10, I made my first national team. When I was 17, I became the National Champion, just 9 months after breaking my femur at the World Championships.

Every ounce of discipline and perseverance in my soul I owe to what I learned as a young gymnast.

Every little girl deserves this same chance to compete. And to win.

I'm so grateful to the women who came before me, who fought for Title IX which ensured equal opportunity for little girls like the one I was 50 years ago.

I'm going to keep fighting to ensure every little girl has a shot at fair and safe competition in the future.

Please join me. Title IX is worth fighting for.

We spend billions treating illness.
But almost nothing teaching health.

Imagine if we flipped that.

Fewer prescriptions.
Fewer hospital visits.
More energy.
More life.

The future of medicine is prevention.

I’ve been asking myself lately: why did I start @xx_xyathletics? And why did I position the brand the way I did?

I’ve had plenty of brand savvy people tell me I should have made the brand about “women being badass.” People still do.

Yawn.

Should I have tried something more ambitious, more inventive? Should I have run for office — something I’ve been asked to do many times but always declined? Should I have just accepted my cancellation and ridden quietly off into the sunset??

No. The answer is no to all of it.

It may look like just a dinky athletic brand, but what we’re attempting to do here is significant.

Brands lie. Businesses feign “values” as a marketing strategy. They don’t mean it. They don’t mean any of it.

This is my skill set. I’m not an engineer or a math genius, but I have a feel for culture — and for how content (movies, books, brands) can move it forward.

I wrote “Chalked Up” to expose the systemic abuse in gymnastics. I said it first and I endured endless harassment when I did. But I was right.

I produced “Athlete A” to help drag the Larry Nassar scandal into the light. And we did. And we won an Emmy. And made a difference.

I know how stories and symbols shape what we tolerate — and what we fight against. And for.

There are a gazillion brands out there lying to your face, pretending to “care about women.”

Nike will make billions off female athletes while firing pregnant ones and driving others to contemplate suicide (ask Mary Cain). They’ll slap a “girl power” slogan on it and call it a day.

I will never lie to you.

XX-XY Athletics is putting it all on the line to take a real stand for female athletes and for women and for truth. We are proving we mean it every single day in this fight.

When we get kicked off TikTok, we don’t back down. When we get suspended from Meta, we don’t soften our message or change our principles.

Taking a stand for the protection of women’s sports isn’t the end of the line for us — it’s proof that we will put ourselves on the line, every damn time, for women, for truth, for fairness and for free speech.

When you buy from a brand, you’re not just buying a product. You’re voting.

You’re voting for the company, how it’s run, who runs it, how they show up, how they treat people and how honest they are.

I’m asking for your vote. For us.

We won’t lie to you. Ever.

This is a brand that means what it says. If you believe in protecting women’s sports, in biological reality, in free speech, in truth an an objective reality, in women’s rights, in refusing to bend the knee to corporate hypocrisy — then join us.

Wear the stand. Vote like you mean it.

Rep. Paul Ryan who proposed raising the retirement age to 70, just retired at 48 years old with a full government pension!

There is literally nothing California could do to make their elections less secure.

Mail in ballots and No ID.

Weeks of counting with no real chain of custody.

The fraud is staggering.

It’s an insult to America.
It’s an insult to Americans.

[Right Wing Jewess @RightWingJewess]

If Steve Hilton and Spencer Pratt get kicked out of the general election because California is "counting" votes for days, if not weeks, it will be proof positive the primaries were stolen. Pass the Save America Act, @LeaderJohnThune @SenateGOP

Almost 5 years to the day I had been working in a New York City Hospital

Took care of loads of patients that day, some of whom had COVID

I was healthy and testing my own COVID antibody levels [HIGH]

Had no interest in COVID vax, declined

Stepped outside end of long shift

Denied entry into two restaurants to eat because I didn’t have my “vaccine card”

Super hungry, had to walk almost half a mile to a convenience store to get some chips and candy to eat (literally the only thing!)

Y’all might be able to forget how crazy the world got. But I will never

And I’ll always have my guard up because it was the first time in my life I realized a supposedly advanced country with educated people was capable of extreme stupidity and crazy level rule-following

TEXAS SENATE RACE: Recorded sermon catches James Talarico (CIS) comparing unborn children to tapeworms & parasites who should have no legal rights. He claims Christianity is a 'feminist religion' that justifies abortion. This is the 'moderate' Democrat preacher running for Senate. Just say no.

The important thing about Al Gore getting many, many predictions about climate change wrong is that he hasn’t lost one ounce of credibility among major media outlets and they remain completely convinced by what he said

[Matthew Marsden @matthewdmarsden]

Someone needs to tell the President that blasting absolutely everyone who he has a disagreement with, isn’t a good thing.

[Sassafrass84 @Sassafrass_84]

When people say they aren't voting in midterms because of the Iran issue...

Giving the house and senate back to democrats is the correct answer?!

This is what you really want?

Republicans who stay home elect democrats.

Vote in the midterms.

[Mila Joy @Milajoy]

After working for 50 years, the average Social Security recipient gets $1800/month.

After being in America for 50 minutes, the average illegal “refugee” gets $3874/month.

And red or blue, that should PISS EVERYONE OFF.

Incomprehensibly powerful AIs trained on lies and woefully incomplete information will be monstrous. Deadly. Disfiguring. Terrifying amplifiers of error and deception and ignorance. We can't afford this.

Glyphosate is sprayed on over 90% of America’s corn, soy, and wheat.

It’s ending up in cereals, bread, snacks, and our kids’ bodies. While other countries restrict it, America keeps feeding it to families.

Ban the poison. Restore real food.

Hantavirus kills dozens to hundreds globally in a bad year.

Obesity and metabolic disease kill millions every year and increasingly earlier in life.

Which one is getting media attention?

That shows one of the biggest failures in modern public health priorities.

No. NO mass testing. Nope. Nope. Nope.

We are not doing that again.
