Grew up in Missouri/Alabama and current resident of Chicago. Concerned about the state of the country. Classic liberal POV, but I'm a humanist above all else.

I vividly remember my buddy Naris knocking on my bedroom door and telling me the towers were attacked.

We all watched in silence as they fell. The horror stuck and we weren't the same after.

The world had changed forever as far as we were concerned.

RIP to the victims of 9/11.

@brianjpempus I like the part where it said everyone said no, she said yes.... Basically admitting that this is a scam for the vast majority of people.

This Kalshi ad is among the most dystopian ones I’ve seen from any betting app

When you're getting arrested for protesting but know you will be checking your likes on instagram from home in a few hours.

@PollTracker2024 Good. Loser is a disgrace to my home.

[justin alpert 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇬🇪 @JustinAlpert]

Just sad that the Missouri GOP keeps trying this.

My home state deserves better. Much better.

All the more reason to vote for @FPWellman in MO-2, it's the next step in fixing this corruption.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has again blocked Missouri from using its new GOP-drawn 7–1 congressional map this November, leaving the 2022 map in place for the 2026 midterms

@zachware I like my rides to be fully equipped with reliable sensors, thanks.

If they can do it, so can we.

Brazil just banned online betting.

This was long in the works, and it’s now an extraordinary reality.

Brazilians have been losing extreme shares of their incomes gambling, even higher than in the US.

@NewsWire_US 😭😭😭😭😭😭

@landpalestine But she's okay with 10/7 cuz they were "freedom fighters" I guess.

[justin alpert 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇬🇪 @JustinAlpert]

@Selene_Mariposa My family stopped entirely because of the expense and how you need a stupid app to get "normal" pricing.

And the rewards system sucks. I found that out on NYE two years ago when trying to use points from a kiosk and if course I couldn't.

Haven't voluntarily been back sense.

Online gambling is any kind should never have been legalized.

I would have no problem if a government straight up destroyed all these companies overnight.

None.

NEW: I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company’s “responsible gaming” safeguards.

Spoiler Alert: They invited me into the VIP program after just one week. Here’s how I yeeted $20K+ ripping riskier and risker bets 🧵

It’s so fucking disrespectful to the history of civil rights leaders that the DSA constantly compares themselves to them, while treating protesting like a game & a cute opportunity for pictures.

Here’s what happened to Black Ppl protesting for their rights. Politics aren’t a game for some of us — although I understand why a trust fund baby DSAer might think that way.

[justin alpert 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇬🇪 @JustinAlpert]

Get a supermajority and there is a chance this can be done. Don't forget to fix gerrymandering.

[Mary Peltola @MaryPeltola]

Pass term limits.
Ban congressional stock trading.
Overturn Citizens United.

You wanna know why? Cuz the nerd that created this map found more than 300,000 surveillance devices. Flock only publicly reported 120,000

@RpsAgainstTrump Dude is 93 old. He's obviously not leaving until he dies.

[justin alpert 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇬🇪 @JustinAlpert]

@GBederevy @FT It's meant with sarcasm. I hope they collapse.

[justin alpert 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇬🇪 @JustinAlpert]

@LasVegasFill Oh no.....

[justin alpert 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇬🇪 @JustinAlpert]

@DarializaforNY Looks to me like your more concerned with campaign photo ops than genocide. Cute T-Shirts, real authentic.

And by that logic, we're complicit for all the crime that happens in our cities because we live there and there are criminals walking around. Which is obviously stupid.

[justin alpert 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇬🇪 @JustinAlpert]

This is how low stakes modern leftists view protesting.

This is why they don't go to Republican events. It would mean enduring what the gentleman on the left endured and they don't have the spine or conviction for that.

This shit is so fake and gross.

Truly wish the Dems were more invested in this race.

I'm a second amendment guy, but this dude makes my skin crawl.
