@tivasyk @w7voa Because we’ve raised a generation of cowardly journalists.

@RationalizedInsanity You are a rockstar! I wish I had thought of something special to do today. We don’t celebrate this day, but that doesn’t mean I have to just sit at home eating Chinese Food. 💥

@mekkaokereke Those laws were not put in place “by Biden” and by Biden alone. The push for horrific drug laws started in the 70’s and were on steroids by Reagan. I can remember watching Phil Donahue say, “that’s what you want, more prisons?” in the early 80’s. By the late 80’s crack and powdered cocaine had different sentencing guidelines, targeting the black population.

Biden should go out pardoning those 2.8 million.

@ayoub Your analysis is flawed,but given the immediate circumstances it’s not worth arguing about. Huckabee wants to the Rapture to come, therefore no one is safe, not even Israeli Jews. In the end he will turn on them too.

The real question is what can be done for the innocent on the ground? Is anyone creating ways to get out? Will Jordan or their border to refugees?m

@glynmoody Thank you for that kind response. And like always in mass migrations, you will be getting our “best and brightest” because they are the ones at most risk now.

I hate to tell you this, but Netanyahu will not be controlled by Harris anymore than he has been by Biden or was by Obama.

I agree Harris is the best choice for Gaza and the Middle East, but do not count on Bibi caring one way or the other.

@mattblaze You need to research what happens at the state level, especially in GA and NV. There are rules about who won the primary and what happens if someone withdraws. It’s my understanding that in either one or both of those states there would be no on on the Democratic ticket.

@mattblaze Great. I literally did not see them. I’ve had enough rudeness for the day. I come in from the heat and this is the first post in my feed. So, please, kindly, go take a hike. Bye.

@Snowshadow @GottaLaff I ask this in all seriousness. I’m a granola crunching, attachment parenting, unschooling, mama and grandmother. My kids are ages 31-41. My daughters and granddaughter have fewer rights than I did. Is there ever a time when violence becomes part of the solution to our situation? Do we watch journalist be arrested and jailed? Do we watch interment camps be built?

I’m not ready to react to anything tonight, but we need to start thinking.

@Snowshadow @GottaLaff I think Biden will win in Nov. but this doesn’t solve America’s problem. Project 2025 and Rachel Maddow’s podcast Ultra highlights that we have long had a contingent of people who want an authoritarian govt. Now, our old guardrails are gone. We are going to need to do many things at once.

@VedaDalsette @lednaBM @SaftyKuma @Lightfighter @Fenix @GottaLaff The Black voters of South Carolina chose Biden. They (rightly to my mind) knew he could defeat Trump. Bernie was a risk they wouldn’t take.

If you don’t understand why Bernie was a risk, then it shows you really don’t understand the totality of the American electorate.

Let me rephrase: Hi all, I’m a thin-skinned white guy, who doesn’t ever want to have to be considerate any other person or group. I’m going to take my marbles over to that billionaire’s place where white guys are rule and Jack Dorcy will insist on no moderation, cause what we white guys truly want is the continued colonization of social media.

@aral @skaly Well, that’s some serious bullshit Aral. No one, not even Bibi, is advocating what you present here.

I will explain one thing that many seem incapable of understanding. Israel has lived with terrorists within their own borders for decades. They’ve tolerated suicide bombers on buses, schools, diners. On Oct 7th something snapped. Never again will Israel allow terrorists to live within their borders. Egypt & Qatar should get the civilians out.

@Ulzana @Niall @chu This is a silly, juvenile statement. Pretending a religious book would solve any political problem is at best ridiculous. The political reality on the ground is what we must deal with.

Biden’s record/decisions speak for themselves. That you take issue with one discrete fact is ludicrous on its face. I could trumpet his work on EVs, battery production and manufacturing. Governing is about choices, not perfection.

@Ulzana @TomSwirly @MeeMee @chu @Niall “doing almost nothing” is a lie. This is just another form of disinformation meant to destroy our nation.

Blocked.
