@starwarsuncut @caseypugh “The stories that matter are the ones that we are actually in.” @writerguygames the experience designer behind the World Without Oil talks about creating stories collectively.

The “would you have urged America to show restraint after 9/11” question is so insane to me because not only did millions of people do just that, but I don’t think anyone in history has ever been as thoroughly vindicated as them.

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

The GOP has introduced a bill to EXPEL Palestinians from the United States. I cannot read such things without remembering what happened to my own family after Pearl Harbor.

[K. @IbaraEleven]

Weird I thought this was only supposed to happen if we raised the minimum wage

[Jorts (and Jean) @JortsTheCat]

Are you sure? Bc I thought we can’t afford medicine or daycare

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The idea that GOP are about to nominate Jim Jordan of all people (yes, Jan 6th Jim Jordan, ban-all abortions-from-conception Jim Jordan, sexual abuse coverup Jim Jordan) for *Speaker of the House* in an attempt to save their majority… they deserve to lose.

[Mo Weeks @mo87mo87]

Sec Yellen is right. The US can afford two wars. We can afford 4 wars. The US could also afford universal healthcare, a job guarantee, end to poverty. The question of what we can afford is not a real one. The only question, and the only thing that matters, is what we prioritize.

unfathomable horror & hypocrisy & complicity. the grinning skull of the entire colonial white supremacist bloodthirsty global project we’re all trapped in, laid bare for us to see in real-time. the kind of night I wish I believed in god, so I could pray for gaza - & for all of us

[Leah McElrath @leahmcelrath]

I’ve never seen anything like what I’m seeing now in my more than half a century of political awareness.

This pales in comparison even to the aftermath of 9/11 in many ways.

I’m frankly at a loss for words.

This is a beginning of something big that I cannot yet see clearly.

People who have turned to X for breaking news about the Israel-Hamas conflict are being hit with old videos, fake photos, and video game footage at a level researchers have never seen. https://t.co/AXh6XPU3w5

Just had one of those holy shit moments where you step back and look at it all: Santos is under indictment, the GOP can’t keep a speaker, their leader has 91 felony counts and told people our nuke sub capabilities - and the media still treats this like a horse race.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Aid to Ukraine isn’t charity. It’s an investment in global stability, defending the world order against aggressive dictatorships, and helping a sworn ally fend off a genocidal invasion by a sworn enemy. Nor does it preclude spending more on the border, crime, or anything else.

[Heather Cox Richardson (TDPR) @HC_Richardson]

This. This strikes me as crucially important to this moment:

Everyone knows!

[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @RepAOC]

Republicans have no evidence against President Biden so they created misleading images for today’s impeachment hearings.

[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @RepAOC]

Republicans have zero evidence to impeach President Biden.
