Today on #MemorialDay2020, we celebrate the Americans who decided our freedom was worth their lives.
We should be ashamed then that so many people have given up that hard-won freedom for lockdowns that might not even save lives
Thread
I just talked to @Kasie Hunt about how white nationalism is domestic terrorism. And as Donald Trump has made one ugly statement after another, we’ve seen it on the rise. White nationalists embrace him, and the Republicans enable him.
Enough.
You seem to be upset that the American Supreme Court is following our Constitution.
First off the document is not entirely an 18th century document.
The original constitution was written in the 18th century as was our Bill of Rights.
However the Civil War amendments (a.k.a.…
Most people believe that it's impossible to move backwards in time
But the Supreme Court is set on returning us to
the 19th Century...
...by using a literal-minded approach to an 18th
Century document

Can someone explain to me how one can think Bill Clinton meeting with Loretta Lynch on tarmac stinks (a proposition i am not arguing) but *not* POTUS asking Comey for loyalty and asking McCabe for whom he voted? Thanks
This is huge. A Supreme Court finally willing to take on the fascist lockdowns
They specifically say the religious groups are likely to win on the merits

BREAKING: 5-4 SCOTUS temporarily blocks enforcement of Gov Cuomo restrictions limiting religious gatherings, win for Catholic and Jewish organizations that sought emergency relief. Chief Justice Roberts dissents along w Justices Breyer, Kagan, Sotomayor. https://supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf/20a87_4g15.pdf…
Key point in AG Garland's statement: DOJ was willing to do this quietly, *without* making a public spectacle of the search.
It was *President Trump's* decision to make it public that turned this all into a spectacle (and is leading DOJ to move to unseal part of the application).
Let me say something briefly about the Big Tech purge tonight.
Now, to the slow, I am not advocating violence. I am predicting it.
Tonight might seriously radicalize people.

He’s actually talking about a serious issue. Feel free to fact check him but it does seem that these ocean-based wind power turbines has some kind of correlation to increased death of whales
Twitter and big tech thinks they are helping to lower this nation’s temperature. But my fear is that they just threw a match on a puddle of gasoline. For that reason, i hope they stop this.
But I ain’t holding my breath.

Tonight, thousands of people are angry that the Supreme Court might overturn #RoeVWade and allow our elected representatives to determine what the law of abortion is.
These angry people almost always call themselves Democrats without recognizing the irony
"It was the feckless, willfully dangerous actions of mask-eschewing Republicans in Congress that put the health of their own colleagues at risk, even as they hid together from a rampaging mob of terrorists." - @JillFilipovichttps://cnn.com/2021/01/13/opinions/covid-masks-capitol-siege-republicans-filipovic/index.html…
Rep. Mondaire Jones (D-NY):
"You will not stop us from passing [gun control]. If the filibuster obstructs us, we will abolish it. If the Supreme Court objects, we will expand. We will not rest until we've taken weapons of war out of our communities."
A sad and shameful end to the #G7Summit with America again standing alone while our allies fill the vacuum of leadership in our absence. "America Alone" is America weakened and is a policy we must challenge.
UPDATE: A good Samaritan shot and killed the shooter at Greenwood Park Mall, according to Greenwood's chief of police. Three others are confirmed dead.

The American far left called the hijab a “symbol of freedom.” Now they Current Thing protest and expect us to forget all the nonsense of the past several years. Including the Iran deal. No thanks! Leave the freedom movement to American patriots. Thanks.
JUST NOW: "The Ukrainians will fight like hell...if every Ukrainian takes a gun, Russians don't have a prayer. I mean the military can fight, but... Ukrainians
are really ready today."
@ninakhrushcheva on the Ukrainian resolve.
To be fair, the Washington post is really only a propagandist to one party. For instance when a republican becomes president again, they will suddenly learn how to question government officials again.
Tonight one of my sperm asked "why do ppl constantly claim their young children are making politically useful statements? It's implausible in most cases. Even if true, it's only a reflection of their parents' indoctrination." https://t.co/HWm7M9sDgt
Obama is president, Putin invades Ukraine (Crimea region)
Trump is president, Putin invades nobody
Biden is president, Putin invades Ukraine, again
Yeah, Trump is clearly the problem

If Trump were still president today… Ukraine would have been handed to Putin on a silver platter.
Thank God for the leadership of Biden and our NATO allies.
The collapse in Afghanistan breaks my heart.
But remember this the next time a liberal says the second amendment is useless because guerrilla fighters could never defeat the US army. They didn’t have planes, tanks or nukes. They still won.
They defaced the monument to the 54th Massachusetts, a mostly black unit that fought for liberation in the civil war and depicted in the movie Glory. Hard to beat that level of stupidity
I guess now the left will say “if you want to speak freely start your own internet, create your own cell phone companies, IOS, computers, and so on.” And this ignores that there are anti-trust laws designed to keep one side from controlling everything.
I don’t care about pronouns. I care about people trying to force me to care about pronouns and threatening to fire people if they don’t get these obscure pronouns correct
I will give you the most persuasive argument for putting a Supreme Court justice on the court even before the election:
what if we have an election controversy like Bush v. Gore? Do we want to risk having the supreme court having a tie?
Jolly Justice! The mall got rid of #WokeSanta & took the little boy the nerf gun. Worth a watch! #MerryChristmas & #StandUpForAmerica! twitter.com/chiproytx/stat…
The American military is warning that China is probably accelerating its timetable for retaking Taiwan, the island democracy that's widely seen as the most likely trigger for a potentially catastrophic U.S.-China war. https://abcn.ws/3wyQus1
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis recently raised eyebrows with his suspension of state attorney Andrew Warren, the top prosecutor in the Tampa Bay area, over Warren's stance on abortion and gender transition treatments for children. https://abcn.ws/3QtNTt5
And now Twitter and the Tech giants have decided you shouldn’t be able to complain about it either. The old refrain used to be “if you don’t like how a social media platform behaves start your own.” Well, that looks pretty hollow tonight, doesn’t it?
It’s one dude with an opinion.
I mean one dude with great aim and trigger discipline, but my point is you don’t have to treat him differently than anyone else with an opinion. Unless the subject is how to defend yourself because he’s apparently an expert
This is a well-understood phenomenon called the catharsis effect and Twitter and big tech is strangling it. Combine that with people losing their jobs—indeed, often being told they are not *allowed* to work—and you can see how this stokes anger that can lead to violence.
The problem seems to be that as much as you have cleaned house, there are still some dead Enders who really want to just censor the entire world in your company
please make sure your new CEO works to weed these people out
You see the government has ruined your life. You face eviction. You don’t believe your vote counts and you can’t even shout about it on Parler! And because the government has ruined your life, you have a lot of time on your hands.
Dear undecided voters,
Watch all the liberals overjoyed that Trump and his wife have tested positive for covid. Watch them hope they die. Then remember they want to be in charge of your healthcare.
So to a person who thinks this way, they can’t vote and they can’t even complain and get their message out effectively. That person might think that if all lawful methods of trying to bring change are gone, then he or she has to use unlawful methods.
If you haven’t watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail at least once, make sure you do. Otherwise you will not understand a lot of people’s metaphors and references.
also if you’ve watched this movie, but not with subtitles, do that. You’ll be shocked at how much you missed
Malls often put up signs that say “gun free zone” but then do nothing actually prevent murderers from entering with their guns or otherwise protect you. Creating a gun free zone should impose a duty to actually secure the zone.
Where are you tweeting this legal advice from? I need to know this because this tweet contains unauthorized practice of law, and I need to know which bar association would have jurisdiction
ICE will launch raids across 10 major cities this SUNDAY.
Check your neighbors & know your rights.
Remember: no one can enter your home without a *judicial warrant.*
Sometimes ICE will try to show other papers to get in your house. Judicial warrants are from a court. /1 twitter.com/mkcheok/status…
If the killer this morning murdered ppl in Israel and claimed he supported Palestinian "liberation" your side would be calling him a freedom fighter. Don't pretend now you guys have condemned anti-Semitism
Indeed, often traditional methods of expression are shut down. Many states have imposed limitations on gatherings applied to expressive activities and the courts have mainly collectively gone on an extended bathroom break.
Then you can rally people for change. Then you can maybe even convince people to vote accordingly.
Now there is a sizable percentage of Americans who flat out believe the election is stolen. So they won’t believe that voting matters any more.
Again, for the slow, i am making a prediction. I am not advocating anything (except for freedom of expression). Furthermore, expression is a useful release valve. If something makes you angry, shouting “F—k that [insert thing that makes you angry]!” makes you feel better.
I actually don’t advocate throwing drinks on people. Not at all. But yes, i think MAGA hats (deliberately) reflect a movement that conjures racism, homophobia, xenophobia, etc. So yes, it’s a little harder to feel sympathy when someone gets Coca Cola thrown on him. https://twitter.com/changeisneeded_/status/1014895422450688001…
Democrats rioted on Jan 20, 2017, in dc, in a plain attempt to keep Trump from taking office. No congressional hearings, no FBI dragnet and the few arrested saw all charges dismissed. Sit down

And of course talking to each other is how we actually start to understand where we are coming from. You might think social media is just rancor but i believe that if you make rational arguments, people might not admit you convinced them, but they will be convinced.
