It's time to cleanse your timeline with this wholesome thread 🧵

1. This is so wholesome memory 🥺

So, you want me to believe that you voted for a racist, rapist, convicted felon, business fraud who incited a deadly attack on our Capitol after losing the last election because of the price of eggs?
That you voted for the orange-dipped dude who ran with a different VP because the last one was nearly hanged for not breaking democracy, because you’ve been getting fewer hours at your job these days?
You want me to believe that you voted for someone who nearly every economist in the world has said will grow our debt (which he did by the third largest amount ever the last time), increase our costs, raise inflation and destroy our GDP because a burger and fries at Five Guys is more expensive than it used to be?
You want me to believe that you voted for the drink bleach guy who golfed while thousands of Americans were dying a day because you had it so much better then, when you were stockpiling toilet paper, than you do now?
You want me to believe that you voted for the guy who had 4 years to pass an infrastructure bill and didn’t, the guy who promised Mexico would pay for the wall when they didn’t, the guy who promised to bring manufacturing back, lower the cost of prescription drugs and end the opioid crisis but didn’t, because you preferred his “policies”?
You want me to believe you voted for the “grab em by the pussy” guy who wants to destroy the Department of Education and to repeal the ACA despite the fact that he has nothing more than “concepts of a plan” to replace it, the guy who will roll back environmental protections, strip women and minorities of more rights, the guy who will hand Ukraine to Putin and Gaza to Netanyahu, the guy who has said he will be a “dictator on day one”, because you’re worried about losing your gas stove?
I’m sorry, but I don’t believe any of that, and frankly, I’m not sure you believe it either.
Because the truth is that your vote wasn’t about any of that.
You voted for the traitorous embodiment of the 7 deadly sins because when it came to casting your ballot for a Black woman, you just couldn’t do it.
And because you like getting away with being your worst self.
And because life is a whole lot easier to stomach when all that has gone wrong for you, is someone else’s fault.

Let’s be honest here, that is what it was.

So when the price of eggs is $18, and your Latino neighbors have been deported or moved to some f’d up “camp” to pick the strawberries none of you will pick, and your miscarrying wife has to contend with sepsis before she’s allowed to have an abortion, and your autistic child is unable to get the early intervention they desperately need, please remember what it really was that you voted for.

Because I promise you the rest of us will never, ever forget.

With warning’s Trump tariffs could halve UK growth & push up prices @EdwardJDavey asked @Keir_Starmer at #PMQs if he “recognized it’s more urgent than ever to get rid of the damaging trade barriers with Europe put in place by the Conservatives?”

Sit down for the PM’s reply

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

I’d rather be in a room full of men who transitioned to women than a room full of Republicans who transitioned to Nazis.

When asked how fascism starts, Bertrand Russell replied: "First they fascinate the fools. Then they muzzle the intelligent."

@BestForBritain I saw "NF" and assumed a National Front spokesperson. I wasn't far off.

This is @PeteButtigieg with the only acceptable answer.

[John Cusack @johncusack]

So let me get this straight- a bad person comes into my home tries to kill me - I kill them in self defense . Then I go out and find their house and kill everyone in their house - then I find where their families live - kill them all - and some guests who are there -
Then I kill the guests families - then everything in the whole town - then everyone in the state
- when does it stop being defense ?

Repeat after me. A habitable planet is more important than the profits of a few fossil fuel companies.

Pass it on.

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret A vox pop at the Labour conference said "we need someone like Alistair Campbell". So if Starmer offered you a similar role to the one you had under Blair, would you take it?

@MartinSLewis I could see the face (and shaver), and hear the voice, but the name I came up with was Ronson, so it seems like "at least" is doing some heavy lifting.

WOW!

After Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris, some MAGA Republicans are now suggesting that the 19th Amendment, which gives women the right to vote, be repealed.

When Kamala Harris says "we aren't going back," this is exactly what she's talking about! We can't hand the keys back to MAGA!

Saying you would deal with Vladimir Putin by getting along well with him only means that Vladimir Putin has already dealt with you.

@barbarossa69 @MartinSLewis I thought he was starring in a reboot of The Chinese Detective.
