1. America has a horrible gun problem.

2. America has a horrible health care problem.

3. Alex Jones should be in prison.

4. The NRA is a domestic terrorist organization.

Adults who neglect COVID-19 health recommendations may also neglect basic road safety. Traffic risks were 50%-70% greater for adults who had not been vaccinated compared to those who had. Misunderstandings of everyday risk can cause people to put themselves and others in grave danger

Lauren Bhoebert was tweeting "Today is 1776" on January 6, 2021.

The name of the Proud Boys plan to seize control of the Capitol complex was "1776 Returns."

Isn't that special?

Anti-LGBTQ group The Family Foundation is pissed because a Virginia restaurant canceled their reservation once they found out they'd be serving bigots.

But this is the same group that WRITES LEGISLATION to allow business to refuse service to gay people!

Harding gained national attention this year after sponsoring Florida's "Parental Rights in Education" bill, which opponents called "Don't Say Gay."

Twit Box qoute of the day:

“The Constitution is not like the buffet at Mar-A-Lago. You can’t skip past the items you don’t like”

The fatal flaw that Musk is making with Twitter is that he sees it as the "World's Town Square" where people come to hear all sorts of opinions and thoughts, no matter how offensive and incorrect. In fact, Twitter is more like the "World's Cocktail Party" when you go to hang out and hopefully meet some interesting people. When obnoxious people show up at a party and prevent you from having a good time, you find a new party. It's really that simple.

Dear Republicans,

How many of you agree with Donald Trump that the #Constitution should be suspended?

Please respond in the affirmative, with a clear display of silence and/or expression of mild "concern".

Gay people aren't shooting up straight nightclubs.
Jews aren't shooting up churches.
Blacks aren't shooting up white grocery stores.

So who's doing the shooting?

Bigoted conservative men.

“Graphic designer Lorie Smith says the same Colorado public accommodation law that Phillips challenged, which forbids discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, also violates her deeply held religious views and free-speech rights”

No. It literally literally does not. Get out it the business if you are going to discriminate. Her beliefs are not violated. Discrimination isn’t part of a religious belief.

We're hearing about big layoffs in big tech, and banks are laying people off too, as the mortgage market dries up. But outside of some hard-hit industries, it seems MANY others are hiring. #CoSoFinance https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-28/job-cuts-in-tech-and-banking-don-t-mean-mass-layoffs-in-looming-global-recession

Sooo Chris Christie’s niece called a Hispanic family ‘drug mules’ on a flight. She refused to deplane, was arrested, and threatened that her uncle has powerful friends like Trump. She injured six deputies, bit one’s arm and breaking the skin, and kicking another in the groin."
