Standing in a line at IAH with @united that seemingly has no beginning or end. Trying to rebook a flight that was cancelled. This is a perfect representation of how helpful they have been thus far. I anticipate 3+ more hours in this line before I can talk to anyone.

This speech is even more chilling when you realize he is trying to emulate Winston Churchill’s “Fight them on the Beaches” speech. Churchill was speaking of the Nazi regime,DeSantis is speaking about normal Americans. The contrast here is terrifying.

We have a dangerous rise in antisemitism. Meanwhile we have anti-vaxxers wearing yellow stars. I was 14 years old when the concentration camps were liberated. The images I saw are seared in my memory. We have to cut this crap out. Learn the history. Fight hate. And #NeverForget

Aaron Rodgers lied, violated NFL COVID protocols and endangered other people.
Rodgers was fined $14,650. That is 0.00010933% of his 4-year, $134 million deal with @packers, not counting endorsements.
Colin Kaepernick took a knee in protest for a cause, and lost his NFL career.
