@briantylercohen Looking for you on Threads 🧵

@leslockrey @ResisterSis20 I know that conservatives hate history, but try and do some reading. It was conservatives that started the KKK. In the 1860s, conservatives were Democrats. The Republicans were progressives. The switch started in 1940 and concluded after 1963. https://t.co/a7BpSbhEud

@leannsherwood2 @OccupyDemocrats Very few have mentioned that. It’s the first thing I saw in the post!

@MoonCrab6699 @Caitlyn_Jenner @TrumpWarRoom I can’t stand Jenner’s politics, but I will absolutely stand up for her right to be who she is. There is no rule that revokes Olympic wins based on a person’s gender. She won those medals fair and square, and deserved everything that came from it.

So forgiving PPP loans is capitalism — but forgiving student loans is socialism?

@JohnBurrowsCA Besides the fact that she has no concept of economic models. A socialist wouldn’t tweet from a yacht on the Mediterranean. Socialism is about sharing wealth, not hoarding it. She’s thinking of Capitalism.

Pete Buttigieg on the homophobic DeSantis video to CNN: "I'm going to leave aside the strangeness of trying to prove your manhood by putting up a video that splices images of you in between oiled-up, shirtless bodybuilders."

"And just get to the bigger issue that is on my mind whenever I see this stuff in the policy space, which is, again: Who are you trying to help? Who are you trying to make better off? And what public policy problems do you get up in the morning thinking about how to solve?"

@LPRES6 @tribelaw @AWeissmann_ Four Justices have to agree to take on a case. So likely all three that you mentioned and one more.

[Tiny Dancer @JustDanceWhyNot]

@tribelaw @AWeissmann_ I’m having a REALLY hard time wrapping my head around this. The highest court in our so-called democracy is OK with this fabrication and there’s NO accountability?

From the Sotomayor dissent, joined by Kagan and Jackson:

“Lost arguments are not grounds to overrule a case. When proponents of those arguments, greater now in number on the Court, return to fight old battles anew, it betrays an unrestrained disregard for precedent. It fosters the People’s suspicions that ‘bedrock principles are founded . . . in the proclivities of individuals’ on this Court, not in the law, and it degrades ‘the integrity of our constitutional system of government.’ Nowhere is the damage greater than in cases like these that touch upon matters of representation and institutional legitimacy.”

Not guilty?!

Unbelievable. That coward should be in prison.

There was a little coffee shop where two people arrived and approached the counter.

“Five coffees ☕️ please. Two for us and three pending.”

They paid, they took their two coffees and left.

I asked the waiter. "What’s this about pending coffees?"

“Wait and you'll see."

Some more people came in.

Two girls asked for a coffee each, they paid and left.

The following order was for seven coffees and it was made by three women -

Three for them and four pending coffees.

I was left wondering...what is the meaning of the pending coffees, they leave.

Then, a man dressed in worn clothes, who looks like he might be homeless, arrives at the counter and asks sincerely...

“Do you have a coffee pending?”

“Yes we do, sir.”

They serve him a coffee.... I got my answer.

People pay in advance for a coffee that will be served to whoever can't afford a hot drink.

This tradition started in Naples.

Amazingly, it has spread throughout the world’s cities and towns.

It’s also possible to order not only “pending coffees” but also a sandwich or a full low cost meal.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could all start doing this in the cities and towns where we live?

Small kindnesses like this can impact so many lives, in ways we could never imagine.

Maybe we should all try it.
😊❤️🌹

For those that don’t remember, this is Fox’s new Tucker Carlson!

Jesse Watters created this 4-minute segment whose whole purpose was to mock Asian people.

RW troll machine got me trending, attacking me for saying this on @TheView.
Imagine calling yourself the “family values party” & being outraged I’m talking about a father’s unconditional love for his child. Imagine thinking a dad not giving up on his kid, is a bad thing. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Rep. Lauren Boebert told the evangelical Victory Channel she filed her resolution to impeach President Biden because “I am directed and led by Him … by the spirit of God.”

“God could not be reached for comment.”
