Whew. This thread. And also this story would make a great movie.

Thanks to the increased pilot experience requirements that were put in place over a decade ago, we have made flying the safest form of transportation in human history, with zero fatal airline crashes in this country since then. 1/6

Don’t look away. This is the world Republicans on the Supreme Court have created.

[All In with Chris Hayes @allinwithchris]

.@chrislhayes: “There were no disputes. The court was not actually solving any problem between two parties. Instead, the conservative majority was functioning like a legislative body, pushing their preferred right-wing policy outcomes irrespective of the actual facts at hand.”

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

So, let me get this straight: yesterday the Supreme Court ruled colleges CAN’T discriminate on the basis of race but today they ruled that a web designer CAN discriminate against the LGBTQ+ community? Sorry, but this Court is so freaking messed up.

Here is something you may want to know about the Hunter Biden-IRS “whistleblowers” “scandal.”

Two weeks ago, the Trump appointee whom Biden allowed to stay on to finish the investigation sent Jim Jordan a letter.

It discredits their entire narrative.

So this fact-averse mindset persists, whether about evolution, vaccine efficacy, gun control or cryptic satanism. No matter how thoroughly an absurdity is shown to be bullshit and nonsense, its advocates will insist that didn't happen.

[regular steve albini @electricalWSOP]

Indulging the "DEBATE ME!" shitheels does nothing to further the truth. It is exhausting because its purpose is to exhaust you and no credible person should do it.

[regular steve albini @electricalWSOP]

Judas Priest are a good example of why debating the willfully ignorant is a fool's errand. It's expensive and exhausting to have to disabuse people of patent bullshit they are attached to. You have to educate people who do not wish to learn and do not trust you.

This entire thread is a monumental work of art. I highly recommend you find a cozy place to sit, and dive in 🔥🧵

Apparently, a White Christian President’s crimes do not corrode the rule of law, but using due process to charge him with crimes and giving him his day in court will demolish it entirely.

[A.R. Moxon 🦋 @JuliusGoat]

Apparently talking about the Republican Party accurately as an anti-democracy criminal organization is more biased than pretending that an anti-democracy criminal organization is still a viable political party interested in participating in the governance of the country.

[A.R. Moxon 🦋 @JuliusGoat]

Apparently prosecuting a flagrantly criminal ex-president and current presidential candidate is dangerous, and inherently political, and unprecedented, in ways that running a criminal as a candidate for president isn’t.

[Dr. Joanne Freeman (@jbf1755 on lots o’ platforms) @jbf1755]

1/Being indicted and tried for alleged crimes is due process under our judicial system.

Trump deserves a fair trial.

But to call for warfare against this process is to declare war against America’s constitutional system.

[fooler initiative @metroadlib]

I LITERALLY stopped working on my memo so I could read this indictment.

I am on page 24 and JESUS LUPITA NYONG'O CHRIST.

HOW this man still has the capacity to shock me after everything that's happened, i'll never know.

but I am sitting here *STUNNED*.

Any elected official who defends the actions of DJT is not serious about our national security.

In the past 4 years alone, each city has experienced it's worst day of wildfire smoke in recorded history.

The Earth is on fire. Our negligence is killing our planet. We must change our ways.
