I am no longer active on X because I cannot support any Elon Musk endeavors. Now I’m off to convince my dad to sell his Tesla - wish me luck!

@DToX @notcapnamerica Everyone should get the chance to twirl in a lovely floaty dress!

Charlie Kirk’s killing was a tragedy for his family and allies. Political violence is never acceptable in America.

However, the rush to turn him into some kind of new American saint is thoroughly distasteful. His brand was cruelty and hatred. https://t.co/uOw0Q4v4c6

@Dodgers I’ve been a lifelong Giants fan, but today I can only say “Go Dodgers!”

Thank-you for standing up for your fans, your community and doing what’s right for America.

Unreal: Bad-faith actors, including Trump, are blaming the LA fires on “diversity” in the fire department and a nonexistent “water declaration resolution.”

@holufunwa @ibramxk @AkilahObviously Are you unable to read the chart I posted supporting my statement? Or do you need someone to explain how charts work?🤔

@EngBigData @BBCNews What a silly thing to say. Literally the whole point of twitter is to make announcements or comments.

@WajahatAli It will never happen.

When Trump tanks the economy, he and the right-wing media will blame Biden and Democrats. They’ll claim Biden’s policies set the stage and say Democrats in Congress blocked whatever changes Trump wanted to “fix” the economy.

[Niktopus @cephloponder]

@DaveKeating Republicans are masters at blaming others. Truth isn’t a factor for them: they identify a problem that may not exist, blame Democrats, then make absurd campaign claims that they can fix it.

When Trump’s tariffs tank the economy, they will convince their base it’s Biden’s fault.

[Ibram X. Kendi @ibramxk]

Trump primarily mobilizes White people and men. Wins handily. After the election, Democratic pundits say mobilizing “identity groups” don’t work and “failed miserably,” erasing Trump’s mobilization of White and male identity groups. Instead, they claim Trump prevailed with a “working class coalition,” erasing the women and Black people who are disproportionately working class. Double erasure.

To be racist and sexist is to erase the presence of Black people, of women—and center White identity and male identity so profoundly that White people and men are no longer seen as “identity groups.”

@archeohistories Claiming Nazca lines are “possibly Ancient landing strips” is an automatic unfollow. Can’t trust anything you write after that.

Do better.

@MarchandSurgery @TK_EMDOc If it was legal in all 50 states we wouldn’t have so many women now dead or maimed because doctors couldn’t perform procedures that would have been considered legal and best-practices before the Dobbs decision.

Your statement is false. The proof is multiple dead women.

@EtkinDaniel @MarkJacob16 @CultrHack I’m addressing his comment in the context of the chart he included.

I can’t imagine why you think your input is relevant here.

[Niktopus @cephloponder]

@EtkinDaniel @MarkJacob16 @CultrHack And in the same tweet he used a chart that did not give numbers about white Americans as a group, but divided them by gender.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

May I say a word for the Democratic Party for all its faults?

It is the Republican Party that nominated Trump three times, that gave way to Trump, that supports and enables Trump.

The Democratic Party in opposition could have done better. But at least they were in opposition.

[Niktopus @cephloponder]

@Dexter__Wright @WajahatAli Yes. The disparity in voting between those with little education and those with advanced degrees is pretty notable, yet hardly anyone seems to be talking about it.

[Citizens for Ethics @CREWcrew]

There's no time to waste.

The sweeping criminal immunity Donald Trump will have as president means that Congress must act now to pass guardrails to prevent abuses of power.

There's no excuse for inaction.

@RoKhanna It’s not that Democrats failed to have an economic plan for the working class.

It’s that huge swathes of Americans get their information from right-wing pundits who lie about the economy, lie about Democratic candidates AND lie about the reality of GOP candidates and plans.
