Privilege

I am white.
Never have I felt the lash, heard the taunts,
Nor been feared for the color of my skin.
But, I see your pain.

[John Roach, Ph.D. @ScienceSkater]

@davidfrum Well, some of us did. The rest of us just got screwed.

[John Roach, Ph.D. @ScienceSkater]

@BulwarkOnline There never is.

@CalltoActivism @RyanZenke, this is not why #Montanans put you in office! We put you there to fight for us. Ours is not a wealthy state. Many of your constituents rely on Medicare and Medicaid. Is this all just to fund a tax cut for the rich?

@SteveDaines , @TimSheehyMT , and @RyanZinke ,
How will the latest round of tariffs help Montanans? Republicans were elected to fight inflation. So far, Trump's policies are only making things more expensive. Hi slogan should have been Make America Poor Again!
Please, help!

@Smacker00276631 @LindseyGrahamSC I think you fail to understand that keeping our enimies--and yes, Russia is our enemy--fighting abroad is better than allowing them to fight here. It's a tiny amount and worth every penny.

[John Roach, Ph.D. @ScienceSkater]

@LindseyGrahamSC @realDonaldTrump Honestly, @LinseyGraham , you may want to be "In the room where it's happening," but is it worth sacrificing all your principles? Sacrificing our great country's moral leadership and international standing? Surely, you grasp the horror of siding with Russia over Europe. Stand up

[John Roach, Ph.D. @ScienceSkater]

@LindseyGrahamSC , when did we join the Evil Empire? When did we choose Bush's Axis of Evil over our long-time European allies? When did you loose your moral compass?

It's not too late, though it's getting close. Please, stand up and put the needs of our country first.

[John Roach, Ph.D. @ScienceSkater]

@SteveDaines Isn't this ironic? After all, it's hard to imagine a teaching of Christ that our President supports?

Certainly, he's not meek, humble, compassionate, forgiving, honest, trustworthy, or faithful.

Wrapping God around this man is the height of hypocrisy.

Montanas deserve better.

Congratulations @MichaelEMann !
Not only has your science shed a light on the dangerous reality that is #ClimateChange, but your willingness to stand up and be heard in the face of unrelenting vitriol has been inspirational. So glad the jury saw your #defamation for what it was!

@elonmusk , bringing back the hate of Alex Jones is the last straw. I’m deleting your app from all my devices.

Perhaps I’ll return if you return to sanity.

Probably not.

[John Roach, Ph.D. @ScienceSkater]

@RepTroyNehls It's a long list of fallacies, but the notion that 45 "Defended the Constitution" is pro-level #gaslighting. Seriously, the man incited a riot in an effort to prevent the lawful counting of electors, as be required by the Constitution.
Next you'll tell me day is night. Just stop.

[John Roach, Ph.D. @ScienceSkater]

@SpeakerJohnson @SpeakerJohnson, this is a lie. Comer has no facts. He has exaggerations, innuendo, and conspiracies. In contrast, the tapes from J6 reveal wrongdoing by many, but you chose to blur their images to protect the guilty.
Seriously, have you no honor? No integrity? No faith?

[John Roach, Ph.D. @ScienceSkater]

@Acyn @SpeakerJohnson, as a man of faith, you believe that when if you have no evidence of wrongdoing you should pursue an impeachment of Biden but that when there is clear evidence of wrongdoing you should destroy the evidence?
So many commandments to violate, so little time.

[John Roach, Ph.D. @ScienceSkater]

@SpeakerJohnson , you tout your Christian identity yet are willing to advance an impeachment inquiry based on lies, innuendo, and conspiracy theories. Such hypocrisy is hard to square with your self-professed ideals. It's a cowardly act of political retribution, not governance.

[John Roach, Ph.D. @ScienceSkater]

@StroeJummer Love that herd!

[John Roach, Ph.D. @ScienceSkater]

@lukeprokop_6 Hi Luke,
Our local squad has your back, even though we could never keep up.
Good luck. Hope to see you on an NHL sheet soon!

@MichaelEMann Yea, some may have looked to her, but my state did me proud today!
