[Median Voter @medianvotertx]

Just a reminder that republicans sent these out to try and anger voters. That’s how desperate they are right now.

[jemp.stp @runthistrain]

see normal people don’t understand that a 285 million dollar contract isn’t really that much because you have to pay taxes and also have to pay someone to play a gold harp as your personal chef prepares your dinner

[Ebony Jade Hilton, MD @EbonyJHilton_MD]

The fact that the game continued after a stadium of people watched someone fall to their death speaks to the callousness our society has reached

There is no sport important enough to continue after such tragedy. My thoughts are w/ the family who had to watch the cheers to follow

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

He literally starts by saying, when asked, “Yeah. Sure. Absolutely.”

There is no scarier version of the United States than the one Republicans invent ahead of each election.

[jezz @JezziiB]

Republicans: “It’s not the guns”

Us: it’s the guns.

Reps: “It’s not, it’s mental health that’s the issue”

Us: “okay so fund mental health programs”

Reps: 205 ‘nay’

[Ryan M. Spaeder @theaceofspaeder]

I don’t understand why it’s acceptable or just ignored. It’s becoming a sport where one of the foundational rules is seemingly optional.

It really is crazy how much evangelicals have monopolised mainstream discussions of Christianity in America because this is literally just official Catholic Church doctrine - it's what I was taught at school.

[Gebo @GeboMpls]

What Tommy says at the end, when he refuses to disavow adding any religious doctrine to U.S. law, is the scary part. The next generation of conservatives has a desire for a Christian theocracy, and that threat needs to be taken seriously.

[kay @gomdeverdeen]

how it feels to be a hunger games fan who genuinely enjoys the prequels, and their connections to the og trilogy, and is excited about the fact we have had two new books & films since mockingjay p2 came out in 2015.

[Jill Filipovic @JillFilipovic]

This man is a hero but it’s a total societal failure when random civilians have to kill armed teenagers in order to save elementary schoolers from the country’s 1,375th school shooting.

[IM DONE. NAYEONIE…baby…🏰 @jeonghives]

destroyed my league all summer just for dada to call you ass ✌🏾

[emilie @emiliepfrank]

“you once said let the streets soak in red capitalist blood. how were the oscar parties this year?” whack him again omg

[Deep Thoughts @DeepWithoutDeep]

Oh so this is why they cancelled Spider-Noir

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

The people who don’t want you to watch miss rachel want you to watch a public execution

[Haleigh Bird @http_bird]

Meanwhile Brandon Sanderson doing Kickstarters for bragging rights

[ciara @lesbireading]

people discussing Suzanne Collin’s writing hunger games books as “cash grabs” meanwhile she’s just an author trying to continue a world😭😭

[Jamaal Simmons @Jamaal_Simmons]

Y’all hear “adversity” and automatically think “the hood.” That’s a you problem.

[Negrodivergent @angryhalfrican]

Cleansing your timeline with the 2026 WNBA Defensive Player of the Year and the 2026 WNBA Most Valuable Player

[Haleigh Bird @http_bird]

@RollyInitiative Have you considered that maybe they don’t? And storylines continue after season breaks?

[Ruth Ben-Ghiat @ruthbenghiat]

Historian of fascism here. This is an escalation of an attempt to normalize extreme violence, ritualize violence, militarize the country, and make violence entertaining so when they ask you to commit violence in their name, you will be ready.

[Deterio 🦍🇵🇸🔻 @NxtDeterio]

you ever look at ur pet and just bust out laughing at how fucking ridiculous the thing looks
