Insane.

Post-vaccine, Republicans had a 43% higher Covid death rate than Democrats.

In what must be one of the cruelest and dumbest political movements ever, the right literally sacrificed their own voters in an effort to appeal to their ignorant base.

Reminder: Behind every “self-made” billionaire is inherited wealth, government subsidies, tax loopholes, and labor exploitation.

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

Exactly 14 years ago today—on July 24, 2009—the minimum wage was set at $7.25 while top 1% were worth $5T. Today, billionaire wealth is $45T+, meanwhile the min wage is still $7.25.

This is what generational wage theft looks like. Pay workers. Tax billionaires. #RaiseTheWage

Again for the cheap seats, there is NO such thing as abortion of a full term infant. That is called delivery. Some pregnancies need to be terminated later in pregnancy due to fetal demise, abnormalities incompatible with life, all y'all assholes need to stay out of our business

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The CEO-to-worker pay gap is now 399-to-1. In 1965, the ratio was 20-to-1. Trickle-down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich bankers and wealthy executives at the expense of workers.

@laurenfleshman This book has opened the eyes of several people I know, and changed how they think of issues related to weight, sports, and women. Please think about how you can use your platform to promote healthy athleticism, instead of constantly mentioning weight.

[Emily Reilly @EmilyGReilly]

I’m watching @ninjawarrior with my teenage daughter, and I notice that @mattiseman and @Akbar_Gbaja keep mentioning the contestants’ weight, even though it has nothing to do with their performance.

[Emily Reilly @EmilyGReilly]

Please do better. If you want to learn more about how focusing on weight as a part of athletic performance can effect young women, I highly recommend @laurenfleshman’s book “Good For A Girl.”

I just want to remind them that when God closes a door, he opens a window

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

The editorial board for the conservative National Review:

“It is impossible to read the indictment against Trump in the Mar-a-Lago documents case and not be appalled at the way he handled classified documents as an ex-president, and responded to the attempt by federal authorities to reclaim them.”

[Middle Age Riot @middleageriot]

The Trump indictment is like the Bible: Republicans haven't read it, but still pretend to know what it means.

[David Heath @davidhth]

Powerful lecture from Jackie Goldberg of the Los Angeles school board on protests against a children’s book with one sentence about families with two moms or dads. She says this is personal for her and really lets loose at the end.

[Heath Mayo @HeathMayo]

Let’s walk through this blow by blow, since it appears to be the last-ditch argument the GOP wants to try to hang its hat on:

Why is the Hillary situation different from the Trump situation and why is it *not* a double standard to charge Trump and not Hillary? (1/)

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

BREAKING: Over 100 furious parents and multiple Republican lawmakers storm the Utah Capitol to “protest a school district’s decision to remove the Bible from middle and elementary school libraries after a parent brilliantly uses a Republican book ban against “woke books” and “sensitive material” to request that it be banned.

The furious conservative parents are now demanding that the Bible be exempt from the book ban, even though it “contains instances of incest, prostitution and rape” — and the school district determined that it is too “violent and vulgar” under the new law — because they believe that The Bible is “the original textbook.”

The Associated Press reports that the furious conservative parents had “no issue” with their new law banning books that included discussions about “race and LGBTQ lifestyles.”

The Associated Press continues, reporting that, “the challenge to the Bible appears to have been submitted as a statement” to expose the “political double standard” of the law — and apparently it worked just as intended.

“If folks are outraged about the Bible being banned, they should be outraged about all the books that are being censored,” said the leader of a prominent local librarian organization.

Please retweet and ❤️ to expose the hypocrisy of Republican book bans — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKj4Hp
