Fiercely independent thinker, refuse to follow anything blindly. Oppose any form of injustice and racism. Love peace & truth. #AllLivesMatter #AsianLivesMatter

@elonmusk You took over @Twitter b/c you thought it was too woke and you didn’t like its content monitoring policy. As one of the most independent voices here, why is your fxxking company spy team still silencing me?

@RepMTG Both you & your master are not intelligent enough to appreciate the quality of PBS programs like Nature, NOVA, American Experience, etc. Their news reporting, while not perfect, is 100 times better than commercial TV stations, 1,000 times better than your favorite FOX “news”.

Watching #StateOfTheUnion #StateOfDelusion address is sickening with blatant lies spewing out of that little opening while his worshippers just applauded whatever he said.

Particularly sickening is to see that little altar boy and big fake eating up everything from his behind.

@JSnowden23590 @NewsHour Then you can happily live in your stupidity without knowing it?

[lightingrod99 @lightingrod99]

@NewsHour Now we know JDV could be as petty, nasty, and sinister as DJT. He is such a fake and hypocrite, trying to perform to please his boss and master. He is a disgrace to humanity and American people.

[lightingrod99 @lightingrod99]

@ABC @TSoufiBurridge Now we know JDV could be as petty, nasty, and sinister as DJT. You are such a fake under your boyish face. You are a disgrace to your religion, country, your kids, and your whole family. How many times every day do you need to suck the axxholes of DJT? A complete hypocrite!

@JDVance Now we know JDV could be as petty, nasty, and sinister as DJT. You are such a fake under your boyish face. You are a disgrace to your religion, country, your kids, and your whole family. How many times every day do you need to suck the axxholes of DJT? A complete hypocrite!

#Coronation “Long live the king!” Prince Williams: No! What about me? 😄

[lightingrod99 @lightingrod99]

@CNN Of course not, because he is in a certain group.

[lightingrod99 @lightingrod99]

@ABC Why do so many people become crazy hotheads with sports? I like sports, but they don’t need to drive you crazy. There are so many other things that are much more important and meaningful than sport entertainment in life. Do not let sport entertainment control or ruin your life.

@RichardFiles4 @ABC Could those who were killed have another chance to live?

@BestRealEstate0 @CNN @NBCNews @ABC @CBSNews @MSNBC @NewsHour @washingtonpost @nytimes @WSJ @FoxNews I am not.

[lightingrod99 @lightingrod99]

Here are what I have learned from the #TyreNichols case, and what @CNN @NBCNews @ABC @CBSNews @MSNBC @NewsHour @washingtonpost @nytimes and even @WSJ @FoxNews wouldn’t want or dare to say (BTW, I consider myself as progressive, but not one of the fake & woke “progressives”): 1/n

[lightingrod99 @lightingrod99]

Looking at everything through race lens by definition is racist. Maximizing own group’ gains at the expense of other groups is tribalism, a major source of conflict. Do not become a racist in the name of the narrowly defined “anti-racist”. 12/n

[lightingrod99 @lightingrod99]

Think about medicine and engineering, for example. Think about the bridges, the railways, the cars we drive in, the airplanes we fly in, the spacecrafts carrying people, the surgery people need to have, anesthesia or medicine patients receive…DO NOT LOWER STANDARDS! DO NOT! 11/n

[lightingrod99 @lightingrod99]

Those police who so brutally beat #TyreNichols were reportedly to have been hired due to their complaints the criteria to join the police team was too strict. Now sadly we see the results. Do not ever lower the standards, particularly in critically important professions! 10/n

[lightingrod99 @lightingrod99]

While the #TyreNichols case didn’t fit the racist white police on black people narrative so neatly, some people have created twisted theory: Those black police tried to please their white colleagues, completely ignoring the fact that the majority of Memphis police are black. 9/n

[lightingrod99 @lightingrod99]

Most of the media have one particular narrative of racist treatment of black people by (white) police and seem to have a thirst for such cases and always ready to agitate the public even for violent protests, even in the case of #TyreNichols. 8/n

[lightingrod99 @lightingrod99]

Some black “journalists” like @Yamiche only care about what has happened to black community, in total disregard to even worse things that happened to other communities, like at @washingtonweek last Friday, which was so disappointing to me as a @PBS fervent. Not professional! 8/n

[lightingrod99 @lightingrod99]

Most of the above media have not been fair on the discussion of race and racism, and I have finally come to believe: These media have only a limited, particular, and biased narrative about racism, focusing on one group while completely ignoring the pains of others groups. 6/n

[lightingrod99 @lightingrod99]

If one really cares about social justice, he/she would stand up together with the Asian & Native American communities for the mistreatments they have received historically and currently, particularly the AAPI community during the pandemic, rather than victimize them. 5/n
