if it doesn’t bring you energy, inspiration or orgasm, then it’s not for you baby

The normie position on immigration is really not that hard to figure out:

* Deport immigrants who commit crimes
* Fix the unlimited asylum loophole
* Don't go around acting like a gestapo, kidnapping people off the streets, violating rights and murdering protestors

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

Children die in school shootings and it’s “not the guns”.

Mass shootings claim lives multiple times a year and it’s “not the guns”.

Kyle Rittenhouse shot 3 people during a protest and it’s “not the guns”

ICE kills Alex Pretti, and suddenly it’s his fault because he “had a gun”

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

Republicans are not “Nazis.”
Democrats are not “evil.”

Democrats are not responsible for the murder of Charlie Kirk.
Republicans are not responsible for the murder of Melissa Hortman.

Opponents are not enemies. We’re Americans.

[Rep. Becca Balint @RepBeccaB]

SPOILER ALERT: This is not going to trickle down.

[Aaron Parnas @AaronParnas]

Are you kidding me right now.

Bots aren’t just noise.
They’re the engine of disinformation.

Analysis of 1.269M accounts on X.
Result? 64% look like bots.

That means most of what you see in your feed…
…isn’t real people talking.

So how do bots push disinformation?🧵1/

.@JamesTalarico is right; our division isn’t organic, it’s engineered.

Algorithms profit off outrage. Networks fuel tribalism. Billionaires bankroll chaos.

This isn’t just a democracy experiment, it’s a controlled demolition unless we wake up.

[Brad @BraddrofliT]

Not everyone will agree but... Social media needs to shut down for a year or two so people can go back to being themselves again…

[Adam Mockler @adammocklerr]

Everyone's debating the ideology of Charlie Kirk's killer, but they're missing the point.

He had MEMES on his bullets.

This isn't about left vs right; it's about a broader pattern of young men being radicalized by algorithms & gun culture.

[Dan Osborn @osbornforne]

Instead of pointing the finger at the other political side, we should turn our attention to the tech companies who make billions off our hate and rage. They literally engineer our emotions to fill their pockets and fulfill their anti-social aspirations of power and domination.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Gun violence is out of control. The victims of gun violence are Republicans, Democrats, independents, and kids, who have no political affiliation whatsoever.

We need to tone down the incendiary political rhetoric, for sure, but we also need to do something about guns.
The guns!

[sean illing @seanilling]

Using phrases like "The Left" or "The Right" to describe broad intellectual currents is fine, even necessary. Using phrases like "The Left" or "The Right" to assign blame to millions of people as though they're a monolith acting in concert is dangerous, unserious bullshit

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

The real issue isn’t left vs right.

It’s not white vs black.

It’s not citizen vs immigrant.

It’s not gay vs straight.

The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

- No universal healthcare
- No paid family leave
- No universal childcare
- No tuition free public college
- No guarantee of live-saving care when pregnant due to abortion bans
- Average cost of $310k to raise a child to 18 yrs old

Of course US birth rates are at an all-time low

[Sydney Thompson @SydneyRThompson]

Crazy idea, how about instead of constantly redrawing congressional maps, both parties just try to…oh I don’t know, put up quality candidates worth voting for? 😭

[jaboukie @jaboukie]

i can't believe a good thing happened

[Pistachio 🇮🇷 🇵🇸 @HarleyShah]

Apparently Iran cannot be trusted with powerful weapons. Which totally makes sense since they haven't attacked a single country in 300 years and Israel has attacked five in one year

[Martyr Made @martyrmade]

It would be one thing if Iran had launched a surprise attack on Israel (although it could be seen as humanitarian intervention given Israel’s conduct in Gaza). But we’re on the verge of joining Israel after they launched a sneak attack on a country we were negotiating with, at a time when Israeli forces have massacres people waiting for food four days in a row now. There is no moral justification whatsoever, nor is there even an argument based on American interests, just that God wants us to do it and Iran is gonna nuke Los Angeles.

[erin @maizie_star]

there are so many unbelievably evil things happening at once that i feel like my brain is going to explode

[Adam Singer @AdamSinger]

We broke every possible social contract for young people, unprecedented wealth transfer from young to old, devalued the currency, made home prices insane, education debt crazy and now for the lulz we're automating all the entry level white collar work. Just incredible
