Hate begets hate, and there’s a lot of hate in America right now. When faced with the opportunity to do something that adds to the hate, step back, take a deep breath, and choose love.
Love isn’t passive. Love fights for truth and justice, but with light, not darkness.
I know I'm tardy to the party, but #teampete and other friends, drop your ::whispers...bluesky:: handles below. I'm set up there under a new name but I'll find you!!
I, for one, remain unconvinced that Luigi Mangione is guilty of shooting Brian Thompson.
We’ve all seen the eyebrows and jacket, but there’s a lot more to this case. This is not a conspiracy theory.
Let’s walk through the manifesto and the inconsistencies in the evidence.🧵
I'm not knocking Biden here. I'm saying, what can/is he willing to do? All the rules were upended from 2016-2020; I know there's something he can do, even if it will be challenged in court, to support those who need it most. I just hope to see it.
I think it would be nice if Biden used these last few weeks as president to sign some EOs doing whatever he can, even if it means pushing the envelope, to protect the people from the storm that's coming. Stimulus checks. Student loan forgiveness. Corporate regulations. Something
One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the lie that that single mom on welfare or the kid getting free food at school is the problem instead of the ultra rich hoarding more wealth than billions of people have combined and getting tax breaks for doing so.
@DanRShafer He was the only presidential candidate running who wasn't already a millionaire. That says a lot about who understands "working class" best. He's not the *only* answer, but he is part of the solution for sure.
Here's a question. What happens when they take away social security, Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare, free lunch for students, end overtime, automate all fast food and restaurants, and raise taxes on the poor and middle-class?
Amazing work @SueAnnRawlins! Your book "Traveling the Trail for Pete" has been featured in BookAuthority's list of best Political Campaigns books of all time! https://t.co/189e1YfMFL
My best day after advice:
Go live your best life, stack your paper and don’t watch cable news during Trump 2.0. Starve the media and give his bad energy no attention.
The strategy is familiar and predictable by now. A pile of outrageous statements - all to ensure we spend the next days talking about him, not about you and not about how Kamala Harris will make life more affordable and restore the right to choose that he took away. It’s bait.
Charlamagne Tha God really defended Kamala Harris well tonight on CNN, holding cable news networks and hosts to account, and called Anderson out to his face. Wow! 💥💥
@Acyn Jesus Christ. Get him off tv already.
I suck at my job and I’m overpaid to do it but I don’t suck as much as the other network.
Who the fuck is like, “yeah I can relate.”
I just shared a political post on FB for the first time in a while. Before you think it's my privilege to stay quiet, I have family I don't want to become estranged from after losing my husband. But I could't keep silent. I posted this (and my thoughts): https://t.co/UbBRFB5XJ7
@WindDustStars I'm curious, if we were under Taliban rule, would you understand female rage and see why it has a place in revolution? Would you be more accepting of an underlying political message in female art/expression if that what's happening to women in India/China happened in the West?
