The irony of tweeting about achieving peace and equality through physical action

[Jonathan Perlstein @perlsteintweets]

I really want to give credit where it is due to politicians who return to their stomping grounds and make a difference when their campaign fails, but it is SO beyond corny when failed candidates do book tours before supporting their scene, like which was more important to you?

Let's get this done, California. Vote YES on Prop 50.

Trump is admitting that he’s going to use the US military, on US soil, against US citizens — calling those who protest him and stand up against his attacks on our communities and democracy the “enemy from within.”

Whether you agree with the term is irrelevant.

This is fascism.

In 2025, nearly 1 in 5 job postings are ghost jobs… roles posted with no real hiring intent

One analysis found about 22% of advertised roles never get filled, and aren’t intended to be. (Others report closer to 40%)

Another study confirmed: 1 in 3 employers admitted to keeping roles open >30 days without plans to hire anytime soon .

Job seekers really are just part of the ‘optics’ for shareholders.

Cox owns an alfalfa farm. Alfalfa farmers account for almost half of water usage in Utah. He's literally killing the state to line his own pockets. While the state suffers from draught, he hopes thoughts and prayers will fix it.

[Alex Cabrero @KSL_AlexCabrero]

Utah @GovCox is asking Utahns, regardless of faith and beliefs, to join in a Day of Prayer and Fasting for rain this Sunday. He spoke with me in Sanpete County today about his State Declaration. We’ll have stories about it on our @KSL5TV 5:00 and 6:00 newscasts. #ksltv #utah

Hogg survived a school shooting, used his position to speak up against gun violence and pressing issues, and a bunch of geriatric Dems said “I don’t like your tone” and expelled him

I hope every 50+ Democrat gets shin splints for ignoring once in a lifetime political aura

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

Fuck the Supreme Court.
Fuck the Federalist Society.
Fuck Mitch McConnell.

It really stings something foul, seeing major media outlets trying to partake in social media slang and trends in an effort to stay relevant, this comic was evergreen

[NBC Sports @NBCSports]

All healthy. All in their prime.

Who are you taking?

[Jonathan Perlstein @perlsteintweets]

to say that firefighters are “feeding off the public trough” when the LAPD budget is well over a billion dollars, this is just blatant ragebait

[Jonathan Perlstein @perlsteintweets]

California has used incarcerated fire fighters since 1915, and a January Forbes article concluded that roughly a third of the California firefighters in the wildfires were inmates

And there it is.

Donald Trump is now selling “Trump 2028” hats on his official website, even though it is unconstitutional for him to run again.

[Jonathan Perlstein @perlsteintweets]

when we discuss the idiom “highway robbery” in future textbooks, I sincerely hope that this part of history is covered, and that students are learning what the phrase “rug pull” actually means

[Isaac Saul @Ike_Saul]

Just literally using the office of the White House for open corruption. I think people's lack of understanding about crypto is making this a much less impactful story than it should be.

[Jonathan Perlstein @perlsteintweets]

geriatric politicians will do everything BUT fight the identity theft and cyber attacks that affects our country and their demographic the most

[Jonathan Perlstein @perlsteintweets]

They say bring back the coal mines, manufacturing jobs, factories with hard working Americans…

They never acknowledge the labor laws or regulation that keeps people safe, or the Americans who built this country with blood, sweat, and tears.

And they’re worried where you piss.

I take a deep exhale, my lungs sound like wind and raindrops rattling against corrugated sheet metal

“I need to drink more water” I tell myself as I slip into a uniform that came out of my paycheck from a job that doesn’t afford an apartment in this country

[Jonathan Perlstein @perlsteintweets]

@RoyDekel not that bright buddy 😕

[Jonathan Perlstein @perlsteintweets]

@RoyDekel @BigKahuna_777 hey pal, I can’t see your post claiming to be rich if you block me, but I’m glad you think you look richer paying for an advertisement to use a picture of someone else’s car 🤡👍

[Jonathan Perlstein @perlsteintweets]

KillTony’s act has always been being mean, cloaked in a standup comedy trenchcoat; every comedian who claimed audiences were too sensitive couldn’t stomach being as washed up as Rob Schneider.

It is sad that comedians ragebait engagement when their relevancy falls upon deaf ears

[Jonathan Perlstein @perlsteintweets]

I pray that future media literacy acknowledges that Joe was peddling bias for years, throwing hands up as a ‘spectating’ comedian, when people cling to his words like B*ble verses

You can’t push !vermectin and then say you’re neutral when people died because of your advice.

[Centrism Fan Acct 🔹 @Wilson__Valdez]

*pushes every single RW conspiracy theory*

*Show is loaded up with non-stop Republican and anti-dem guests*

*Literally endorses the Republican candidate for president*

Guys, I don't do teams. I'm totally unbiased and independent. Just down the middle.

[Jonathan Perlstein @perlsteintweets]

It truly cannot be understated how damning this

[Josh Kaplan @js_kaplan]

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files.

It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd done a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me

[Jonathan Perlstein @perlsteintweets]

As we’re embarking upon 2025, I once again feel compelled to remind everyone that the New York Post is a conservative endorsed rag feeding off your outrage engagement and complaints when their headlines are clearly written by ragebait enthusiasts

[Jonathan Perlstein @perlsteintweets]

It is nice to imagine Biden and Harris tackling the destruction by AI instead of spending their efforts on Tiktok because at the end of the day, we all know that they would drag their knuckles on doing anything and nothing would get accomplished — just like trying to ban TikTok!

For perspective:

I’ve been on the same type of medication since I was six y/o

If Trump abolishes coverage for pre-existing conditions, I am one of many, MANY people who will end up either:

• Paying exorbitantly for prescriptions

• Deprived of necessary medicine

• Dead
