There is a serious discussion happening in the year 2023 about whether being friends with a Nazi sympathizer is a good thing.

Republicans literally can’t even be bothered to pretend anymore about what they’re about.

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

Me: How come we don't have any rich friends who take us on vacation?
Wife: Do you remember how you treated those people in college and law school?
Me: Oh. Yeah.
Wife: "They deserve to be eaten" you said. "Their tears make me strong" you said.
Me: OKAY I GET IT.

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

Has Elmo thought of, I don't know, creating something on this platform that people want to buy? Instead of just taking away things people were already getting for free and holding them hostage?

Or is that not galaxy brain enough for Dollar Store Iron Man?

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

This nation was built on peaceful protest. No elected official should lose their job simply for raising their voice – especially when they’re doing it on behalf of our children.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

For those keeping score at home...

Things that WILL NOT get you expelled from the TN state legislature:
- child molestation
- domestic violence
- federal investigation
- peeing on your colleague's chair

Things that will:
- fighting to protect kids from gun violence

[Caroline Orr Bueno, Ph.D @RVAwonk]

Wow, way to make this label meaningless. NPR is absolutely not even comparable to propaganda outlets like RT & Sputnik, which have no editorial independence. This is ridiculous and only helps actual propaganda outlets blend in with legitimate news outlets.

[Amy Russo @amymrusso]

Not only false but incredibly reckless.

"In response to an NPR email for this story seeking comment and requesting details about what in particular might have led to the new designation, the company's press account auto-replied with a poop emoji..."

NPR is not state affiliated media. It is public media. The NYT is not propaganda. It is the most robust news organization in the English speaking world. The bias as to who is being targeted on this site by its leadership is so very clear. And it’s not a small thing.

[Jamaal Bowman @RepBowman]

Everyone needs to be paying attention to what's happening in Tennessee 🚨

3 lawmakers are about to be illegally ousted for joining the 10,000 kids protesting at the state capitol.

Stop following Trump's location and focus on protecting our democracy from fascism everywhere.

[Rep. Justin Jones @brotherjones_]

It’s morally insane that a week after a mass shooting took six lives in our community, House Republicans only response is to expel us for standing with our constituents to call for gun control.

What’s happening in Tennessee is a clear danger to democracy all across this nation.

[Robert E Kelly @Robert_E_Kelly]

CNN has reporters at 5 am in front of the Manhattan Criminal Court and Trump Tower for the arraignment which will last just 5–10 minutes.

Please stop. This is how Trump got endless free air time in 2016, helping him get elected. This is not necessary, and we know where it leads

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Today @WilliamLamberth, a Tennessee state representative, asked students protesting gun violence which gun they’d like him to use when shooting them: “If there’s a firearm out there you’re comfortable being shot with, please show me which one it is.”

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

The doors were locked.

The teachers were armed.

TN expanded firearm access.

The police arrived in minutes.

Covenant school had everything that MAGA GOP assured us prevents & stops mass shootings. And 3 babies & 3 adults were murdered in seconds.😳

IT’S—THE—GUNS

[United Farm Workers @UFWupdates]

Omar shared this video of his coworker. He calls her the champion picker because she quickly & agilely fills her baskets w/the berries. Strawberry pickers are often paid by piece rate so they often run in and out of the rows to maximize their time and earnings. #WeFeedYou

[United Farm Workers @UFWupdates]

Esther harvests strawberries in Oxnard, CA and shares: Normally I work 5 days a week. However these days things have been different due to rain. We work less so aren't earning what we need to pay bills. It's very cold. The rows are very muddy and filled with water. #WeFeedYou

Twitter revealed its algorithm to the world.

But what does it mean for you?

I spent the evening analyzing it.

Regardless of your political views, I simply ask that you watch this short video and then you can decide how you want to think about this issue.
