Writing things, just rarely tweeting them 🤷🏼‍♂️

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

[Acyn @Acyn]

FOX: Where’s the protest against the regime that's killing people in the street right now?

Trent: They are doing those today. It’s called the ICE protests.

FOX: Are they talking about Iran at the ICE protests?

Trent: No, I think they are talking about the regime that is shooting people in the face

Iceland is the world’s biggest consumer of SSRIs. They’ve had less than 10 gun homicides since 2020; in the US, there have been over 90,000.

Japan is one of the largest video game markets in the world. They have 10 gun deaths per year; the US has nearly 50,000.

It’s the guns.

@jonfavs @WIRED Damn, longtime listener of the pod, and also a fan of independent journalism. Taylor brought the receipts, and all these influencers are doing is confirming them. If you have real concerns, please air them, otherwise this tweet itself is “wildly dishonest”.

This means it’s working right

[Sean Padraig McCarthy @SeanMcCarthyCom]

It’s “far left” to not want to pay TurboTax $100 a year for no reason now

@58Fly @British_Airways All flights are on one booking but British Airways just handed out a brochure as we got off the plane and the employees complained about how rough their day had been and said we should be grateful for the hotel voucher. Honestly shocked by the lack of care or response.

[Jacob @JacobSchmidtty]

@British_Airways After sitting on the tarmac in Madrid for 4 hrs due to an engine issue causing us to miss our connection to the states we were told in London to “figure it out” as we wouldn’t be automatically rebooked. Can you assist?

Me as a writer every time I get the suggestion that I run a piece I wrote through ChatGPT...

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Arnold Schwarznegger says he suggested to change “I’ll be back” to “I will be back” in ‘THE TERMINATOR’ because he thought it sounded more “machine-like.”

James Cameron responded with “Are you the writer? Don’t tell me how to fucking write.”

BREAKING: Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez has defeated Republican Joe Kent in Washington's 3rd Congressional District. https://t.co/WCqqEyrHKH

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

By today’s standards, most US families would have be deemed undocumented or trafficked at some point in their family history.

For the most part, people didn’t need lawyers and years of processing to come to this US until immigration became a racialized issue. Remember that

[Laura Bassett @LEBassett]

Imagine making a huge show of protecting kids from drag brunches and Harriet Tubman posters in classrooms, and then bragging/laughing about trafficking actual children to a random state with no plan as to how to feed or house them or give them medical care

[The White House 46 Archived @WhiteHouse46]

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene had $183,504 in PPP loans forgiven.

Dark day for democracy and what this says about the GOP as the party of "morals and values" (lol), but let's go @MGPforCongress! #FlipWA03

[Public Citizen @Public_Citizen]

Are you kidding me?!

Congress is complaining they haven’t seen a pay raise since 2009.

They make $174,000/yr.

The people’s minimum wage since 2009: $7.25/hr
