@SPMcKenny @donwinslow There's no vaccine against stupidity. But Darwin Awards are going to be handed out like candy at Halloween.

@RanttMedia Watch and retweet! Make it trend.

After being asked about Critical Race Theory, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley delivers an answer every American should watch.

@mdnij34 Here is a great article revealing how we got from Eisenhower to Trump: https://t.co/NcqPXtYthU

@MarkWil55914991 @shopper61 @marklarflash @brianklaas Exactly Mark. Which party is advocating for more voter access rather than restricting it? Which wants to make it harder for black and brown people to vote? Which party killed election security bills in 2019? Which party refuses to investigate Trump's coup attempt?

@brianklaas The GOP's trajectory away from democracy goes a long way back. But most recently with the movement Buckley helped start in the 70's. Trump and MAGA aren't the exception, they are the inevitable result of their policies and vitriol over the last 30+ years.

@BuffyWicks @MikePerryavatar This is nuts.

@magi_jay I hear him saying we should all be judged by our character. It’s funny I have never thought it applied to only Black ppl. 🤔

@varindersingh24 Always to the cart corral or store if it’s closer. They are a hazard in the parking lot. It creates extra work for someone else if you leave them between cars. It’s the ultimate sign of laziness and disregard for others to just leave it in a random place.

@nowhoresalIowed @jenskifed It won’t go away by itself. You have to push the fear out with Truth. Science saved me from religion. A good place to start is with evolution. It all falls away when you understand how we got here. Do you have any secular friends who can talk intelligently about these things?

@Chris4Perkins My heart goes out to you. It’s tough.

Thanks to the overwhelming response to tonight's PSA, we (temporarily) broke @n1leftbehind's website! While their team is working on it, please follow them here to get updates and get involved: @n1leftbehind.

@USofAlCBS @rezaaslan @n1leftbehind We did the same thing in Iraq. We suck. I wish we could send the politicians’ and military brass families to Afghanistan and let them stay until we honor our promises.

@Artists_Ali @C_Stroop "Evangelism Explosion!", "The Four Spiritual Laws", "The Bridge Illustration." Lord forgive me for being "that guy." #exvangelical

[Tom Pain @TomThom74]

@Artists_Ali Thanks for your thoughtful/helpful thread Ali!

[Tom Pain @TomThom74]

@Artists_Ali It was studying evolution and our primate family tree that ultimately helped me give up on Evangelicalism. No Garden of Eden = No Original Sin = No Salvation required. If the Garden of Eden is a myth, then me being a sinner and Jesus' sacrificial atonement are also myths.

[Tom Pain @TomThom74]

@Artists_Ali He only published when another naturalist was about to publish a similar book. So, he wasn't evil, and he didn't convert to Xty on his deathbed (that's an Xn myth.) Ultimately, it was his faith in an orderly universe created by an omniscient God that helped him do his work.

[Tom Pain @TomThom74]

@LadyJayPersists Nope. Not just you. It’s true.
