Are we, collectively, going to stand up to bullies? It all comes down to this.

[Spike @spikesguides]

This is why barely anyone dances at clubs or gets really excited in public or really tries to express themselves other than online.

Some antisocial person with a smart phone is on standby, ready to capitalize on it for clout or a dollars of revenue sharing.

[Atticus @redl3tters]

Filming people like this, with the intent of harming them, should be illegal. These people should be able to sue and win significant damages.

Enough Gen Z purity bullshit, I want a world with more park make-outs, not less

[O.W. Root @owroot]

The fact that you can't even make out on a bench in Central Park without someone recording you on their iPhone and then posting it to social media as some kind of bit is everything that's wrong with society and I am not joking. The surveillance state (administered by an actual state or by the millions of people with phones who want to embarrass people on their TL) is essentially the least romantic thing imaginable in both the love sense and the living sense. It is anti-romantic and anti-life. Part of the reason why the before world was fun was the fact that you didn't have this kind of thing. The ability to do something without it being documented and recorded is the difference between being free vs an animal locked in a cage. There is a direct correlation between everyone constantly being afraid that someone is going to record them and post it somewhere and society becoming more neurotic, less fun, more boring, and less alive.

The self-administered surveillance state is the enemy of life.

If the take is anything besides “we live in a society that’s normalizing surveillance culture and rewarding freaks for invading people’s privacy so we fight it less when our government does it” I’m not interested

[Joshua Martin @JoshuaRMartin]

This destroys the ENTIRE right-wing narrative.

Elon has been melting down and raging nonstop since his interview with The Economist and Chef Andres is one of the best and kindest humans on planet earth.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

Here’s something new: The same day he’s due to get a committee vote on his nom to be AG, Todd Blanche has to respond to a court order from a judge who appears skeptical of his truthfulness. And that’s just Thursday. Read this piece to see what else to expect in the week ahead. https://t.co/RqaW4WshoK

[Senator Ruben Gallego @SenRubenGallego]

Right now, the Trump Administration is withholding disaster relief from Democratic-led states like Arizona.

We’re sure as hell not going to let them get away with it.

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

We are 100 days from the midterm elections.

Democrats have a path to the majority in the House and Senate. Trump and the GOP's only strategy is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

We will fight them in every district and state. When we fight we win!

[Andrea Aldana @andrealdana]

El Brasil de Lula es el único país del mundo que sabe hacerle frente al fascismo. Hizo recular a Twitter Musk, no le teme a las bravuconadas de Trump, persiguió judicialmente a los golpistas y ahora niega la visa a “funcionarios” gringos que llegaban en “misión electoral” (hacer lo que han venido haciendo en Latinoamérica: socavar las elecciones democráticas). Lula lo dijo sin rodeos este sábado en un acto en Sao Paulo: "quien quiera venir de afuera a meterse en las elecciones brasileñas, ya le voy avisando: se va a llevar muchos golpes".

Hace rato que Brasil nos está mostrando las respuestas.

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton are asleep at the wheel

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

A federal appeals court has rejected the Trump administration's attempt to implement an executive order restricting mail-in voting ahead of the midterms.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

Here is what I believe.

We have been separated by people who profit from our separation.

That is the business model. Keep us apart and sell us the fight.

Here is what that separation does.
People stop talking. They stop talking, so they stop knowing each other. They stop knowing each other, so they fear each other. They fear each other, so they hate each other. You break that chain at the first link, not the last.

I also believe there is one true existential threat to this democracy and his name is Donald Trump.

So I will sit down with anyone who has a platform and sees in Trump what I see.

That is why I sat down with Nick Fuentes. His views on race and women are antithetical to mine. What he has said about the Holocaust and Nazism is indefensible. He is also demonstrably persuasive and he has a bullhorn that no amount of cancellation has taken from him. A million-plus people listen to him. I wanted to hear it myself instead of reading what I am supposed to think about it.

Nick and I agree on almost nothing. We agree on Trump.

Nothing else we argue about matters if Trump is not stopped. And the people who see what he is do not all think like me. If your standard is that everyone who opposes him has to agree with you first, you have already handed him the country.

I will take one piece of common ground over ten more years of shouting across the same street.

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

most parents would be enormously proud of a child with such insight, power of expression, & the courage to make such a public statement; in this particular case, however, we do not expect it.

[Secular Talk ([email protected]) @KyleKulinski]

Elon’s daughter Vivian absolutely decimated him oh my days

Capitalism seems really great at rewarding both the dumbest and worst that society has to offer

[Nick Volpe @nvolpewild]

He literally has the money to save every tropical rainforest on earth, except he’s the most selfish loser possible 🤢

[M1das @M1das_OW2]

no amount of money will ever make him happy and i think that’s beautiful
