THREAD: I understand this might have been intended as a joke by a comedian, but when comments like this are made at a political rally, not a comedy club, they take on a different and more damaging meaning.
Congratulations to Nihon Hidankyo, a group of survivors of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, for winning the Nobel Peace Prize. At a time when the threat of nuclear weapons is growing – and the taboo against threatening their use is weakening – Nihon Hidankyo’s work reminds us that these weapons have a terrible human cost, and that the pursuit of a world without nuclear weapons is an essential part of making sure we leave our children a safer, more secure world. Nihon Hidankyo built a powerful movement out of personal tragedy and insists upon our common humanity.
Just a reminder to the VP candidates and each political party.
54% of all gun deaths in the US are suicide,
43% are murders—and ppl are most likely to be shot by their partner/spouse…not an illegal migrant.
Please use facts to drive policy & debate, not fear #VPDebate
In front of Black audience, Trump argues @KamalaHarris isn’t Black.
In front of white audiences, Vance argues she’s a “DEI hire” who’s gotten where she is because she’s a Black woman.
How can they argue both things at the same time about the same person?
Bunch of clowns. 🤡🤡
📌The GREAT White House Photographer @petesouza has been suspended from this damn place. He was responsible for iconic shots like this one, while chronicling the Obama White House.

Eliminating the right to choose is one of the few campaign promises Donald Trump actually kept. That tells us a lot about what he would do next, if given the chance.
When the news broke that the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris had burned, the world was in shock. Pete Buttigieg here offering his condolences to the people of France in their own language.
