An anti-masker flipped out when asked to wear one in a store with posted requirements for all customers today. He screamed “GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!” I told him Patrick Henry didn’t give him a license to give other people death because he wouldn’t sacrifice any liberties
He clearly had no idea who he was quoting or what context the quote was even from (shocker)
And exactly what liberty do you believe you’re being forced to sacrifice by wearing a mask in a store? You don’t have the liberty to infect, harm, threaten, jeopardize, intimidate, sicken, or potentially kill others because you find something inconvenient or uncomfortable. Enough
Like even the guy who said that didn’t want death and had a much different idea of what a lack of liberty was than you. He found the notion of being “ruled by the British” a fate worse than death. If all they wanted him to do was wear a mask,he’d have likely put it on and shut up

.@Jim_Jordan releases letter to @BennieGThompson filled with patently false claims in a futile effort to justify his lack of cooperation with the @January6thCmte. The committee has violated no “safeguard for fairness proceedings” nor “American civil liberties

I’m going to debunk every line of this dumpsterfest. Here we go.

“The American people are tired of Democrats’ nonstop investigations and partisan witch hunts” ❌

No, we aren’t, Jim. Because Democrats haven’t engaged in any partisan witchhunts and these investigations are vital.
“Your letter of December 22, 2021, unfortunately continues this democratic obsession.” ❌

No, it doesn’t. There’s nothing partisan about this, Jim. And if you weren’t personally involved in the attack, you’d be on 100% on board with getting to the bottom of what happened.

Getting vaxxed and wearing a mask has nothing to do with fear. It means you acknowledge this virus continues to spread throughout the nation, overwhelming our hospitals, and that you don’t personally want to be responsible for jeopardizing the health, safety, or lives of others.
It means you recognize that we live in a society and that with that comes an obligation to show a certain degree of respect for the well-being & safety of others. This is why you don’t insist on smoking indoors or going through red lights and stop signs when driving.
It means you are capable of putting your political views aside and acting in an adult, humane, responsible way. That you care about individuals who are too young to be vaccinated or who are sick or immunocompromised and therefore do not enjoy the same level of protection you have

Dear media:

Stop giving Republicans a pass on their unwavering united opposition to voting rights. Ask them specifically what provisions of the Freedom to Vote Act they oppose and make them justify each one. Thanks.

Sincerely,
Americans fighting for democracy
I’ll help you out:

1.) What specifically is their problem with establishing a national standard for early voting? If they claim it will “nationalize elections,” ask them what that even means and what SPECIFICALLY the provision does that they disagree with & how they’d change it.
2.) What specifically is their problem with same-day registration? This is already in place in over 20 states, several of which they currently control. If they claim it “enables widespread fraud,” ask them to back this up with evidence [There isn’t any]

I am so sick of watching this country make the same mistakes over and over and over with this fucking pandemic

Require proof of vax & masks for all domestic flights
Masks for all indoor spaces & workplaces
No indoor dining/gatherings

We could have ended this so many times over
Stop letting republicans & right wing lunatics with inexplicably large followings like @benshapiro who have “DO NOT COMPLY” as their profile picture while they and their entire families are fully vaccinated control the narrative. Stop playing defense against this murderous idiocy
ENOUGH

@benshapiro thinks he’s some sort of pro debater, right?

Ok, Ben. I challenge you to justify telling your nearly 4+ million followers and god knows how many fucking podcast listeners you have to “not comply” with something you’ve complied with & know can save their lives

“Pro-Lifer”: Abortion is murder
Me: That’s a bumper sticker, not an argument
“Pro-Lifer”: So you can’t refute it
Me: I can refute it, it’s just dumb
“Pro-Lifer”: Do it
Me: How do pregnancies occur?
“Pro-Lifer”: Women don’t keep their legs closed
Me: So they impregnate themselves?
“Pro-Lifer”: Obviously a man is required for that
Me: So a man impregnates them once they “fail to keep their legs closed”?
“Pro-Lifer”: Yes
Me: So the man creates the baby, but the woman is at fault?
“Pro-Lifer”: Yeah, she could’ve just said no to the guy
Me: What about him?
“Pro-Lifer”: What about him?
Me: Couldn’t he have just jerked off or worn a condom?
“Pro-Lifer”: So you’re blaming the guy
Me: That’s just how pregnancies occur
“Pro-Lifer”: So men should always wear condoms
Me: If avoiding pregnancy and “protecting life” is the issue, then yes
