A key point missing in a lot of post debate analysis is that Trump’s claim about immigrants eating pets almost perfectly syncs up to the piano in the Peanuts theme song.

A week after Carhartt declared it was keeping its Covid-19 vaccine mandate in place, the company defended its plans despite growing pushback. "We stand behind our decision because we believe vaccines are necessary to protect our workforce." on.wsj.com/3Iu1egF

I’m really upset that the media is already laying the groundwork for dismissing Ma’khia’s death. If police can arrest mass shooters with assault rifles, they can arrest a 16 year old girl with a knife.

This is Anthony Thompson Jr. — a 17yo Black teen killed last week by @Knoxville_PD in his school’s bathroom. They first said Ant shot a cop before another returned fire, but now admit the cop accidentally shot himself! Why isn’t anyone talking about this? We must demand answers!

What the hell is going on?!?
Media has been ushered to a checkpoint where state patrol is taking pictures of every journalist’s credentials and face.

My version: Daunte was convicted of a victimless crime. His punishment was to pay money. A cop stopped him to extract more money but realized he already owed money, which is a crime. While attempting to electrocute him & arrest him for owing money, she shot him That’s the story
The "warrant" on #DaunteWright was over unpaid fines for 2 minor misdemeanors — one a marijuana case — totaling $346. He pled guilty, filed for deferred payment and they were sent to collections DURING A PANDEMIC. Then he was pulled over for car air fresheners and killed over it.

I often say that we should eliminate the notion of ‘them'. ‘We' should be enough; the whole world is part of ‘us'. This isn't some kind of old-fashioned way of thinking, or an altruistic forgetting of your own interests. I want happiness and in order to achieve that, I need you.

This is bullshit. The Redditors aren't cheating, they're joining a party Wall Street insiders have been enjoying for years. Don't shut them down...maybe sue them for copyright infringement instead!! We've learned nothing from 2008. Love StewBeef

Nice tweet Sen. Cruz! Quick question: do you also believe the Geneva Convention was about the views of the citizens of Geneva? Asking for everyone who believes US Senators should be competent and not undermine our elections to incite insurrection against the United States
By rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement, President Biden indicates he’s more interested in the views of the citizens of Paris than in the jobs of the citizens of Pittsburgh. This agreement will do little to affect the climate and will harm the livelihoods of Americans.

Looking again at the video I took of the mob storming the Senate, there’s a moment when the lead rioter looks right for a second, before continuing to follow the officer left, away from the immediate entrance to the Senate. This happened at 2:14.

A truck loaded with thousands of copies of ROGET'S THESAURUS crashed yesterday losing its entire load. Witnesses were stunned, startled, aghast, taken aback, stupefied, confused, shocked, rattled, paralyzed, dazed, bewildered, mixed up, surprised, awed, and dumbfounded!

I’m so looking forward to coming back to an America free of harsh words and name calling and be amongst people who I know have common ground and harmony. It’s a challenge but it can be done!

I wish we could do a 3 week national lockdown; pay each household 1000 per week to stay home; require & provide masks to *everyone* then test everyone so we can start over in Sept. I’m pretty sure it would be less disruptive & expensive than what we’ve lost. I miss everyone. – at Manhattan, NY

"Living a black life in Minneapolis means sitting in disparity between your good-natured neighbors and a system of structural racism and disenfranchisement enforced through policy, white silence, and police violence," @JustinNXT writes: on.theatln.tc/dtgqUmb
