Evacuating 1.1M people in 24 hours (including children, sick, elderly, ill) during a internet blackout, with no electricity, water, food, or fuel is simply and completely impossible
Woman: “let’s meet like normal people and maybe be friends”
Man: “we had one weird interaction 11 years ago that I’ve hyperfixated on… this must be because she wants to bone me for my job & money”
Girl I went to college with dm'd me on LinkedIn to see what I was up to and ask if I was still around the area we went to school and if "I wanted to get coffee". I deferred the invite for "indefinite" but pondered why she dm'd me
I remembered later I asked her out junior(?) year

Well we are a country that built its wealth, religious views and social structures off a couple centuries of hereditary slavery, fought a civil war and then started on another century and a half of state sponsored discrimination.
So yea race is going to be a major factor here
@Catholicizm1
Dude. You go in (like a normal person), make small talk (like a normal person), maybe even give the bottle of wine you brought over for dinner (like a normal person).
Get crazy, say yes when she asks if you would like a glass of water.

No, but he is the only one whose job is public safety, and we should hold him accountable for how he performs his responsibilities - especially when his failure to do so puts dozens of people’s health at risk and destroys his vehicle

Any civil unrest, in any context, of any kind, makes you a terrorist?!
Slave revolt? Strikes? Marches?
Context matters.
We can’t be agnostic to the circumstances that surround action or allow ourselves to be undone by false equivalencies
@Catholicizm1
Dude. Most of my friend’s wives are also my friends because I’m not a freak. Just like my friends’ husbands are my friends.
When I go over to friends’ places it’s for things like dinner (normal, adult) and I bring something (normal, adult) like a good red (Gamay or Nebbiolo)

Not our own.
It’s a group of neocons that made memes, raised 60M from Dems using those memes they spent on their own consulting companies to make more memes and raise more $ and then launched a media company to rebrand the Republican Party and win in 2022.

Good! We are on the same page since Lincoln Project explicitly wants the senate to be red.
Remember these are neoconservative republicans... and we just gave them even more money to oppose us in GA.
Same team... but they aren’t on that team

Not helping us.

We don’t want to sit in the Iraq war with the founders of LP that brought it to us.
Time and memes should not wash away what the neocons did when they were empowered.

The initial tweet you’re responding to addresses this. White people feeling oppressed despite being able to freely walk away from an attempt to invade the capitol building and not realizing their freedom is a product of their position, context and privilege in our society
@Gamavazquez87
Dude just cause you weren’t personally getting exposure to a thing doesn’t mean it isn’t a thing. The Atlanta WNBA team is owned by (soon to be former) Senator Loeffler. Their advocacy was major news and made a important difference in Georgia’s jungle style election

And democrats should want him out so they can have a gov that doesn’t:
A) lead a response that results in 1/406 New Yorkers dying;
B) try and hide his responsibility for some of that human loss; and
C) use his position to proposition public servants he has hire/fire power over

Jason, I could rent you an apartment filled with rats and black mold. No one forced you to rent it. Of course this would be against the law because we lay down certain acceptable standards (warranty of habitability in this case). Similarly, NCAA is allowed to forgo legal...

I only went to college in Boston for 4 years and Danny, it turns out that one of America's most segregated cities that fought tooth and claw to stop desegregation in schools for 15 years, then whitewashed that history away, is still actually quite racist
@pitterpatterbud
@nytimes
What is actually race pandering?
1. Shining a light on the murder of 100s of Americans
2. To whitewash the history of the murder of 100s of Americans so that white Americans don't feel guilty

No.

It’s hard to imagine we are looking at an academic athletic program. instead it’s a business that is using its misclassification to avoid providing the compensation & protections required of any other business. NCAA is the rat & mold apartment. We have standards for employers.
@witmar6
@nytimes
feeling attacked by a historical discussion is hate and divide. You should feel empathy and a desire for justice for the Americans who were killed.
Question is, why don't you? Why do you feel attacked by this and not defensive of your countrymen who were murdered?

Moved to nyc in 2012, love the subway, and can say with confidence that if you’re afraid of the subway at 9:45 pm something is wrong with you, not the subway

If a server was “bad at serving” you need to still tip
In many states employers are allowed to pay far below the min wage for tip workers. Your tip isn’t extra for good service, it’s literally peoples’ paychecks regardless of whether you subjectively found the service adequate

Did an AI write this ridiculous post?
Ok so the 1816 Nutcracker wasn’t a ballet, it was a short story, it wasn’t from the US, it was Prussian, the ballet is an adaptation from like 1895 and isn’t even based on that version of the story, but the Dumas version from 1844…

Is trying to make fun of people’s appearances Christian behavior?
Dude I went to christian school and I don’t remember the part where Jesus said “and make yourself a little, terminally online person with tired, mean jokes”
Realized it's not excitement for Kamala that I'm feeling it's this moment of hope that the Dems might take drastic measures to do something outside of How Things Are Typically Done for once in my life. Imagine that? What a high. Of course they most likely will stay the course.

They didn’t change republican votes (note data shows 97% - a higher % than 2016 - of republicans voted for trump), they put up billboard in Times Square (you know, major swing state 🙄).
It’s about their power and future influence... in the Republican Party.
