@MysticAngel369 This is all just libel and doxxing.

@radia54yu Because so many cultures do.

Imagine it's the 1940s. You're a carpenter. Power tools are beginning to replace hand tools for ordinary work. Furthermore, jobs that would have been impossible or ruinously expensive are suddenly within reach.

You show up at a worksite one fine morning and it's being picketed. STOP POWER TOOLS! the signs say. WOODWORKING UNDER THREAT!

Puzzled, you accost one of the demonstrators and ask him why he has a signboard in his hand rather than tools.

"Power tools are a menace!" he says. "How are you going to train apprentices if they can't feel the wood through their hands?"

"What happens when we can chew through aged quality timber faster than we can grow new trees?"

"Carpentry isn't just a set of skills and habits, it's a mindset. It won't be any true carpenters left if we let this go on."

You inquire further and discover that they have plans. Plans to exclude from any job they work on any craftsman who has ever used a power tool or even spoken approvingly about them.

Meanwhile, inside the picket line, a house is going up. Men are working. Cutting and joining the framing is going faster than you could have imagined 10 years ago.

You look at the workers. You look at the demonstrators. One group is talking. The other is getting stuff done. One group looks like the past, the other like the future. In this moment, you get to decide which group you're going to join.

This post was not about carpentry.

All those white people trying to let a murderer go free, while the black guy was the only one concerned with law and order. I'm gonna have to reevaluate my racism.

@LizzyStarrrdust $17/hr to wipe someone's ass isn't "hard", it's "retarded".

@DemzDeliver Okay, since that's ALREADY illegal (https://t.co/jJoR7QhUah) the required question every time you pull this shit is WHAT ELSE DID THE BILL DO?

@__BigO__ Stupid me, I forgot they all live under the bridge. Crazy that ICE can't just go over and round them up there.

@colonelkurtz99 @MattWalshBlog How many men were standing outside the courthouse holding signs blaming his wife?

Something that always bugged me -- did Bart go through the trouble to reprint the title and/or lyrics, or was Tim just that checked out?

@HLC_actual This is literally bribery, which is one of the two specific crimes the Constitution calls out as impeachable .

@nupe62 So what, you think all the illegal immigrants are sleeping in trees?

@vanpelt2023 @MatthewParrott @xQwirk So women have calmed down and started thinking rationally, and now understand that murdering the most vulnerable, innocent among us is, in fact, morally reprehensible?

@sappholives83 Calling that thing "male" LMAO

And of course you're strawmanning an argument that no one isn't making.

[Arĉjo @arcxjo]

@RepGwenMoore Precisely ZERO of "your constituents" "are being detained" by ICE.
