If you’re upset about spending $86M to house people legally seeking asylum, you should be even more upset about spending $145M for a president to go golfing. I’m so tired of the fake outrage.
LGBT people do not need you to “agree” with their sexuality, gender identity or anything in between, in order to be entitled to live freely and not be ridiculed and used as political pawns. They or no one else needs to convince you to respect their existence and rights.
Veterans know the power of assault weapons firsthand, and they agree: There is no reason anyone other than military and law enforcement should have them.
March with us on Monday, 4/17 in D.C. to demand that Congress pass the Assault Weapons Ban—NOW. https://passtheban.org. #GVP
The only thing corporations care about is making money. Inclusive marketing is not indoctrination, it’s not a conspiracy, it’s a calculation—and bigotry is unprofitable.
Less than 24 hours ago Daniel Perry was convicted by a jury of murder—after he shot a protestor point-blank during a BLM rally blocks away from the state Capitol.
Greg Abbott says he is working to pardon Perry one day later. Absolutely insane.

The best part about all this Bud Light outrage is Anheuser Busch obviously did market research and calculated the loss of anti-lgbtq consumers and didn’t care.
People are so mad that companies are going “woke” but marketing campaigns are just a reflection of society. The real source of their anger is the fact that society is progressing with or without them and there is nothing they can do about it.
Me: "It's just error after error, Matt?"
@mtaibbi: "Well, that is an error."
Watch me confront Matt Taibbi with multiple, unacknowledged, and glaring mistakes in his Twitter Files reporting.
Full @MehdiHasanShow interview later tonight. Preview:
Congrats to all the people outraged over Bud Light. You’ve helped the company stay top of mind to consumers nonstop for the last few days. You really showed them.
it’s so funny to see tweets like this bc…they DO know their audience…they’re a multi million dollar company. YOU losers are the minority here!!! everyone hates you bigots and you only think you’re the majority because you’re all so fucking loud and annoying about your baseless…Show more
Texas Republicans have now introduced bills to mandate posting the 10 Commandments in each public school classroom and allowing schools to hire chaplains instead of counselors. Not even pretending the Constitution is a thing anymore
This photo from the Tennessee State Capitol -- wow! This protest really has the potential to become our Tel Aviv, if we want it. (Picture by Mark Zaleski of the Tennessean)
Tonight as Tennessee House Republicans push forward to schedule vote on our expulsion, Speaker Sexton orders the gallery cleared as crowd chants “fascists.”
Media forced out at as well.
Then, Rep. Lafferty (R-Knox) pushes me and grabs my phone.
This is a sad day for Tennessee.
We have peaceful protestors being arrested in FL.
We have school boards being removed in TX.
We have Elected officials being expelled from office in TN.
BUT RIGHT NOW ALL THE NEWS NETWORKS ARE TALKING ABOUT TRUMP.
YOU ARE COMPLICIT WITH THE DOWNFALL OF DEMOCRACY.
Responsbile journalists should spend more time covering what is happening currently in Tennessee rather than devoting all of their resources following the twice impeached former President.
on the ground in Nashville— the Tennessee legislator is planning to expel lawmakers who stood with gun control advocates today.
They have been stripped from committee assignments and their member ID’s have been shut off.
THIS IS NOT DEMOCRACY.
Every time a company does something offensive to conservatives, they end up helping that company create more brand awareness by complaining and sharing their ads at ridiculously high volumes.
Every year for the past 3 years, more kids under 19 in the US died from firearm-related violence than *anything else*.
More than car crashes. More than drug overdoses. More than cancer.
We have the potential to be the greatest country, but we sure as fuck aren’t right now.
Tiktok allowed me to grow a community, to support me as I try to represent my state. People that condemn tiktok don’t understand it’s reach and ability to educate mass audiences. Everything he’s saying is true and Biden should NOT allow Tiktok to be banned!
My new favorite Twitter trend is watching right-wingers use word salad to try and weasel their way through their definition of “woke” without sounding like the historical-hierarchy-preserving assholes they are
A good way to determine what side of history you’re on is to ask yourself this one question.
Do my beliefs align with neo-nazis?
If the answer is yes, you are on the wrong side. https://twitter.com/FordFischer/status/1634647746811506689…
