This will only be effective if EVERYONE refrains from tweeting (X-ing?) on August 1st a/k/a #TweetlessTuesday. Let's show the owner the POWER OF THE PEOPLE. Honestly, would it kill you to keep your thoughts to yourself for 1 damn day? Read a book! 👀 #August1stTweetOutDay
I am proposing that August 1st be a “Tweet Out” day where blue voters take the day off from tweeting. Think of the revenue lost for Twitter - X if we did that. Best way to affect change with a billionaire is to hit them in the wallet. RT if you are with me.

So yes, you are 100% entitled to your opinion. No one is stopping you.
But as soon as that opinion infringes on someone's human right to exist peacefully, you cannot share it.
Whether you agree with this or not, it's law.

.@RepGosar yesterday used his House.gov newsletter to promote a site that has posted content calling the Holocaust “the Holohoax” and telling readers to “stand up for Hitler".
The GOP isn't hiding who they truly are anymore.

Today might have seen the biggest physics discovery of my lifetime. I don't think people fully grasp the implications of an ambient temperature / pressure superconductor. Here's how it could totally change our lives.

This story is horrifying. An LASD officer followed a trans man who was leaving their teaching job, then brutally attacked him without provocation. The reason given: an air freshener. The deputy was not disciplined; the victim was charged with a felony. latimes.com/california/story…

Have I got a story for you. It starts with a simple tip that someone has done a FOIA request for all 7 million voter signature cards in Georgia. I was able to get a screenshot of the request. It's much more insane than I could have possibly thought and people need to know.

We received this heartbreaking email by someone who was falsely accused of using "AI" to generate an essay & got a ZERO on their assignment. How many people's lives are being ruined like this? This should be unacceptable. Are there any journalists investigating stuff like this?

Florida wants to teach about "skills" slaves obtained in the antebellum south because "beneficent" slaveholders taught their slaves to read, write, blacksmithing, etc. They say this is supported by "scholars." Well, let's see what the scholars really say.../1

In 37 years as a faculty member, I have never seen anything like this video.
It's the faculty senate at Texas A&M meeting with the university's president, Katherine Banks, the day before she resigned.
The reason she resigned is clear from the clip. youtube.com/watch?v=bCXxE8YB… 1/

While these messengers of truth were dismissed, who was seizing power? The Fanatics, aided by... the Centrists. Those who consider their job mediating between two sides, crafting comfortable compromises for themselves with lunatics, leaving the rest of us on a burning planet. 4/6

In a 2004 interview with @Harpers, John Ehrlichman, the Watergate co-conspirator, admitted that the Nixon Administration invented the war on drugs in order to imprison Black-Americans and hippies, two groups he felt threatened by.

Former conservative Chief Justice of SCOTUS, Warren Burger:
The 2nd Amendment "has been the subject of one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American public by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime".

People love to claim to we can’t change people’s behavior.
But did you know the idea of “designated drivers” is only normal in America thanks to the work of a group of Harvard scholars?
Here’s 5 reasons they succeeded.

🌍The United States has the highest wealth inequality among all OECD nations.
According to the graph below, forty percent of all wealth in the United States is owned by just 1% of its population.

The problem with teaching kids "Black people learned useful skills while they were enslaved" is that, while true, it's deeply misleading.
If kids are taught that, AND then they're taught that a lot of the freedmen ended up working on the farms they were enslaved, they have a...

There’s something wrong with a society that villainizes workers for wanting better wages and sick leave, instead of the CEOs making millions and refusing to provide it.

TARGET LETTER THREAD
So Trump got a (second) target letter from Jack Smith, about his crimes relating to Jan 6th attempted coup d'etat, insurrection, rebellion, cop-beating & hanging party*.
Some were asking me "who else gets target letters"?
