Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo leaves Twitter 🐦

“Why I am leaving Twitter.

I have made the decision to leave Twitter.

Twitter, far from being the groundbreaking medium that initially made information accessible to the greatest possible number of people, has in recent years become an impressive tool for destroying our democracies”

Conservative men have made themselves unfuckable with their abhorrent views, but somehow this is a problem liberal women should solve by lowering their standards.

I'd like to see more outrage about the Palestinian COLLEGE STUDENTS who were SHOT in Vermont.

"House GOP (republicans) plan to condition aid to Israel on cuts to IRS and to separate and not immediately seek aid to #Ukraine serves who?"
"Why their principal benefactors--the tax dodging rich and Russia. They are nothing but errand boys for some of the world's most odious oligarchs."

Make no mistake. Trump wants to TERMINATE healthcare for millions by gutting the Affordable Care Act.

Listen to Univision anchor Jorge Ramos. He charged that his network gave too friendly an interview with Trump, and in so doing it “put in doubt the independence of our news department.” Ramos added that Univision cannot “offer Trump an open microphone to broadcast his falsehoods and conspiracy theories." Let it be a warning to all news media.

A Fresno woman was jailed in LA for shoplifting. A month later, her mother got back a decaying corpse.

This is a hard read, and it was hard to write:

Israel is also the only country that routinely puts children on trial in military courts (which have a dubious conviction rate of up to 99%).

According to the UN report "Children in Israeli military detention":

"It is understood that this is the first and only juvenile military court in operation in the world."

@JoshuaACasey @marcelias Au contraire, that is *exactly* how the mathematics of voting works

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet_voting

@sleepfreeparent @JoshuaACasey @marcelias Don’t strain yourself shoveling that garbage. No one’s going to pay attention to it. Dems aren’t doing any of the things that you’re saying they’re doing.

Eh, @JoshuaACasey, I attack your position, you attack me personally, then run. You may be a victim of the last 20 years of discourse decay, but you're also a perpetrator of the kind of cowardly absolutism that endangers our democracy.

Sad to see this kind of poison here.

@marcelias

Let's be clear:

A vote for No Labels is a vote for Trump.
A vote for Jill Stein is a vote for Trump.
A vote for Cornel West is a vote for Trump.
A vote for Robert Kennedy is a vote for Trump.
Not voting is a vote for Trump.

A vote for Biden & Democrats is a vote for democracy.

Republicans tried to repeal Obamacare 73 times

When Trump is in office they had all three branches of government and couldn’t pass any replacement let alone any other positive legislation

Trump downplaying Covid cost an additional 40% in casualties

This, while 80% of Obamacare enrollees live in states that voted for Trump

…while they paid higher premiums since their states rejected subsidies

Republicans never miss an opportunity to shoot themselves, and you, in the foot

what the fuck,
