Liberty without equality is fascism

Right. And journos working for mainstream media are what, founts of truth?
At least with independent journos, there’s some hope you’ll find one who cares about the truth. Not possible with MSM owned by billionaire friends of Trump.

You cannot pardon an innocent person. All persons are innocent until proven guilty. Preemptive pardons are unconstitutional.

But there is just so much of it, and I'm tired. Because I write about this, I get told a lot of stuff in private, so I carry that too. I'm so tired of rapists. I'm so tired of rape culture. I'm so tired of the dehumanization of girls and women.

I had to look this up. It's TRUE. 😮 Before 1974, banks typically required a father's or husband's signature in order for a woman to open a credit card account. HOLEEEE SHIT. In my lifetime?!! The patriarchy really sucks. #ArtemisII

Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .

This paper deserves a rant 🧵!

Besides HARKing, there are plenty of other ongoing, institutionalized problems in #science.

Cherry picking, retconning, historic negation &/or narrative reframing to make your results sound surprising (clickbait) all seem to apply here.

Elon Musk sir only you can fix this. We need you to dig a tunnel under the strait of hormuz. We need your fleet of iron man robots to catch iranian missiles in mid air and turn them back on the enemy. Please take more drugs we're all waiting

A pardon can only be given once someone has been convicted of a crime. Before the conviction, people are innocent, according to our constitution, and innocent people cannot be pardoned.
Preemptive pardons are therefore unconstitutional. Trump’s preemptive pardons are invalid.

Republicans voted to repeal Obamacare dozens of times knowing it would fail. Every single vote generated headlines. They understood that official government action gets media coverage in a way that "messaging" doesn't. Dems keep not learning this.

Eligible men will automatically be registered into the military draft pool by December as part of an effort to streamline the previous process of self-registration and save money.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:

Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%

Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%

This is what a rigged system looks like.

After Trump wrote, in reference to Iran, “A whole civilization will die tonight,” the entirety of the House Democratic leadership issued this joint statement:

The President just threatened genocide.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff must disregard any such military orders that violate federal and international law.

Republicans in Congress can't hide anymore: we must consider all options – including impeachment – to stop Trump.

25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

I am not one of those who believes that history repeats, but consider the following from Herodotus: the Oracle at Delphi told the fabulously wealthy King Croesus that if he invaded Persia he would "destroy a great empire." Croesus invaded and lost--the empire he destroyed was his own.

And that civilization is called the US of A.
The invasion of Iran will stand in history as the final nail in its coffin.

Oh, this is just the warm-up.

If this is what they’re pushing now, if Platner makes it to the general against Susan Collins, it’s going to be 10x worse, full smear campaign, nonstop. Strap in.
