    Peter Cvjetanovic, a white nationalist, is upset that this photo of him has gone viral. So be nice: dont retweet this tweet 1000s of times.

    Sorry, this is not a side effect of the vaccine. It is called hydrocele. In adults, the two primary causes are injury or STD (chlamydia or gonorrhea). Probably your cousin's friend was taking one last marriage fling, picked up an STD, & is blaming vaccines. He needs an MD, stat.

    4 years ago, a white supremacist Trump fan attacked me because he didnt like my reporting, using a strobe to intentionally induce a convulsion. My physical damage continues to this day. Today, I won my lawsuit against him. He owes more $ than he has. The criminal trial is next.

    Twitter shut its operations in Ireland today, putting thousands of people out of work with no notice. Oops. Elon broke the Unfair Dismissals Acts 1977–2015. And the thing about Ireland…they ain’t the United States. They don’t slobber all over people for just being rich. Ugly.

    My brother-in-law cant survive. He will be removed from his ventilator tomorrow. You DONT need to go bowling or to a nail salon or wherever. You want to die? Use a gun. But don't let your selfishness rain misery on families with loved ones who couldnt avoid the virus you spread.

    .@Target raised its minimum wage for all employees to $24/hr & all who work as little as 24hrs/wk gets health insurance. Target will prove: 1. The labor problem isn't people are lazy, it's that they aren't paid enough. 2. More ppl will shop at a store that treats employees right.

    Target raised its minimum wage from from between $15-$24 per hour depending on role. It did not raise the minimum wage for all employees to $24 per hour. corporate.target.com/press/releases… npr.org/2022/03/01/108…

    On a serious note, I really want to thank the Tik Tok teens and Kpop stans for what they did in signing up for 1 million tickets. Not only was this the greatest troll of all time, but you almost certainly saved lives today if the fake ticket numbers scared away bigger crowds.

    Turks blew up a nine year old girl, blowing off her legs. Trump gave the green light for this. 67% of evangelicals support him. Seriously, you sons of bitches? Hating gays is worth the murder of children? We are all learning where we would have lined up in Nazi Germany.

    An ISIS flag has - literally - been raised again in the Syrian countryside. The ISIS flag. Flying again. Can you Trump supporters get it *yet*? Can you admit your god king doesn’t know what he is doing? If not, when deaths start here again, we will point at you as responsible.

    9 million children lost their health insurance today. Nine million. Trump went golfing.

    El Paso TX is on national grid & still has power. Cities on Texas grid are struggling without power/heat. Because it is on the national grid, El Paso gets energy from plants with winterizing regs. Texas grid “deregulated” so no winterizing. People are dying for GOP philosophies.

    Since United Healthcare killers shells said “delay, deny, depose” & police said he came from GA, I read all lawsuits there on UH unjust claim denials. There are so many, including where UH delayed till plaintiffs ran out of $. Some ended in deaths of kids. suspect list is endless

    I see lots of Dems complaining about Kasich possibly speaking at the Dem Convention to endorse Biden. THIS is why Dems lose so often - too many voters who care more about purity than victory. Kasich has a huge # of supporters. If 2% of them vote Biden because of this, Biden wins.
