"more tweets" (18 misc. tweets on my twitter feed that twitter is showing me)



I know we’re all still processing, but the way casual violence was normalized tonight by a collective national audience will have consequences that we can’t even fathom in the moment. #Oscars2022



For the rest of his career, Will Smith’s Oscar win will be associated with this moment. That he wasn’t escorted out by security, is a reminder of two America’s. That if you are rich & famous, rules are different. That he sat back in his seat proves that Will also knows that…



If you think slapping another man in the face on tv is outrageous behavior, wait until I tell you about the people who tried to overthrow the government.



Maybe Chris Rock should be able to tell jokes at the Oscars without being accosted onstage. Just sayin.

Will Smith was laughing up until Jada started eye-rolling. I can’t believe he overshadowed his historical win with violence just because his wife got offended over a joke.



In a night where everyone will unfortunately remember the worst of this years Oscars, try to remember that on a hot mic, Lady Gaga turned to Liza Minnelli and said “I got you.”



So anyway, the most important thing about Will Smith is that the wife of a Supreme Court Justice was pushing batshit conspiracy theories and actively working with the White House in an attempt to overthrow an election.



BREAKING: Washington Post drops bombshell, reveals that Senator Ted Cruz “crafted a plan” to steal Biden’s win using the Senate to “object to the results in six swing states and delay accepting the electoral college results on January 6.” RT IF YOU THINK CRUZ MUST BE LOCKED UP!



BREAKING: A federal judge just ruled that Donald Trump has likely committed felonies, including obstruction of Congress and conspiring to defraud the United States. “The illegality of the plan was obvious,” he says.



It’s not funny or acceptable or honorable or manly. Will Smith’s attack (over a joke) was unhinged and violent and also a crime: assault.



When asked about his reaction to the Oscars last night, Ted Cruz said without a hint of irony, "Everybody knows if somebody said that about Heidi, I would've done the exact same thing."



To a country that needs to grow up:

In America, a comedian on stage has a right to make offensive jokes about your wife. And you have a right to get angry and, after the fact, speak out against/protest that comedian.

You do not have a right to physically assault that comedian.




Biden to NBC News: “I’m not walking anything back.” Are you still riden with Biden?



My name is Katie Dean, I am a proud Democrat, believe that Joe Biden won in 2020, and I will defeat Madison Cawthorn this year.



BOOM: Trump attorney John Eastman has just been ordered to turn over his emails to the January 6 Committee.

How does that make you feel?




Today, the January 6 Committee in essence asked a question many Americans are asking… what is going on at the DOJ? Either Merrick Garland is working on one heckuva an investigation and nothing has leaked, or…



Tucker Carlson refuses to delete the tweet that got his account locked, so he has been off twitter for 5 days and counting. Fox spokesperson says he will never delete it.



In 2020, Marjorie Taylor Greene didn’t have an opponent.

In November, she won’t have a job.

[Proud Army Veteran. Patriot. Georgia Democrat running for Congress to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene. #GA14 #SendCongressFlowers]




Pretty clear message to AG Merrick Garland tonight from Jan. 6 committee: Do something.

normally I’d have to click on 18+ posts to see whatever info was tweeted …
I don’t do Twitter , and never visit there, if a post starts loading a Twitter thread
I close it so as not to give it another hit

So your post saved me from reading 18 possibly useless links

Nice digest I guess

✌🏻
