Very few of us know the people at the tip of the spear. We can make the biggest impact by uniting against the handle, making that behavior far more taboo than it is now.

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal. If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist. If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian. If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

Best way to fight misinformation is to respond with accurate information, not censorship

We need a new media. Like the established news stations/papers can stay doing their alarmist/entertainment for clicks crap— and we can get actual journalists that want to do the actual job of telling us the important stuff/being government watch dogs.

Because where are all the media on the East Palestine situation? Where are the climate alarmists? Where are our government officials and transportation secretary? @PeteButtigieg @CNN @FoxNews @MSNBC @NBCNews @CBSNews @washingtonpost @nytimes @USATODAY @GovernorShapiro @EPA

I’m watching Tell Me Lies on Hulu and Stephen is not hot. Like how are these beautiful girls letting him do this stuff to them and he’s not even the hot broody bad boy? He’s just a dude that clearly’s had too much phone time bc his neck is almost at a 90 degree angle.

Lol was about to buy from @Shutterfly but they were trying to charge me $31.44 for shipping some prints and one small canvas. That would be a hell no.

Did anyone else forget to put a bunch of stuff on their #TBTBSanta questionnaire 🤦🏻‍♀️? I always forget to add Veronica Mars, those chocolate mint candies (like york), and that I use wallflowers from B&BW

You would think being a part of the book world, plagiarism would be something people are highly aware not to do. Turns out- nope! It happens allllll the time in this community. I had my entire site ripped off. I’ve seen other ppls reviews copy/pasted/poorly summarized.

And now we’ve got a Xmas swap that’s been going for over a decade completely plagiarized. Straight copied and pasted their form and intro. I get wanting to do stuff that others are doing, but be creative- do your own work. This is an opportunity to create something, not steal!
Retweet if you think Minkah Fitzpatrick is the best safety in the #NFL. 📸 @steelers
