lindyli: Fake ass Christian Josh Hawley wants to investigate the Nashville massacre as a hate crime The same Hawley who was the ONLY NO vote against the anti-Asian hate crime bill The same Hawley who illegally took $1 million from the NRA He’s a foot soldier for the Merchants of Death

tedcruz: The Covenant School shooting was horrific. For everyone who says “thoughts & prayers aren’t enough,” I AGREE. Ask why EVERY SINGLE SENATE DEM voted against my bill doubling police officers in school. One armed officer could have stopped this lunatic, BEFORE a child was killed.

the_TFP: Today's updates: Florida S1674, a bathroom bill, has a hearing on Thursday, March 30th at 8:30 am in 412 Knott Building. Read more here:

ae_stallings: Minor Poem The only response to a child's grave is to lie down before it and play dead --Bill Knott

JosephOEarp: Bill Knott would have been happier if more people read him. Every writer would be happier if more people read them. I self-published a book last year. I would be happier if I didn’t have to self-publish a book.

JosephOEarp: Bill Knott clearly had to write poems. Cause he kept doing it even though it made his life objectively harder. He didn’t sell out. He kept writing stuff like this. And he kept being read less than he should have.

JosephOEarp: Been thinking a lot about what success in the arts means, recently. Also been reading a lot of the poet Bill Knott, who was resoundingly not successful. So I want to write a thread about both. Sorry about it.

Acyn: Jeffries: Extreme MAGA Republicans in the house have done nothing on the economy, inflation, job creation, economic growth, and healthcare. But today, extreme MAGA Republicans passed a bill that will ban books, censor librarians, and bully children

lightumbreIla: Bill Knott

OccupyDemocrats: BREAKING NEWS. The U.S. Senate introduces the NO CORRUPTION ACT, a bill that will prohibit any member of Congress from collecting their taxpayer-funded lifetime pensions if they are convicted of felonies related to their official duties. RT if you support this bill!

laurenboebert: Biden vetoed a bill yesterday for the first time. Doing this, he affirmed ESG for the world to see. The dangerous ESG agenda kills businesses and is helping to wreck our economy so of course Biden is all in!

TrendingLiberal: BREAKING: Republicans in Florida are pushing a new "Don't Say Period" bill. It would make it ILLEGAL for a teacher to talk to a child about their menstrual cycles. That's not hype, or "woke" framing. Just listen to the Republican sponsor Stan McClain, who said it loud and…

benonwine: Should BBC sack Gary Lineker for attack on migrant bill? Please Retweet for wider Audience….

RepLizCheney: The 1/6 hearings have shown that Trump knew his effort to overturn the election was illegal & unconstitutional. He did it anyway. Trump’s conduct was illegal under existing law and would be under our new bill, too. Our bill also prevents other future efforts to steal elections.

labourlewis: I interrupted Suella Braverman's Anti-Refugee Bill speech because it is a complete sham.  The first page admits it is likely illegal under human rights law. This is as much about picking a fight with the courts to undo all of OUR human rights, as it is about attacking refugees.

knott_richard: The bill itself says on the first page it may be illegal. There are no safe routes for those seeking asylum, it’s cruel and will cost us both in reputation, and financially in fighting and loosing in court.

the_TFP: Florida S0254, the state-sanctioned kidnapping bill, has a hearing on Monday, March 13th at 3:30 pm in 412 Knott Building. Read more here ➡️

TomSnarsky: Bill Knott

ProfAFinlayson: So, under our Ancient Constitution, if you’re an MP for the governing party you can also get a job presenting a TV show. But if you’re a TV presenter you can’t express disagreement with the government. Have I got that right? It’s in Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights or something.

bill_hollands: Reading Bill Knott for the first time. This one just stopped me in my tracks.

EdKrassen: BREAKING: Republicans are now calling Mitch McConnell a "RINO". Not because he doesn't believe in Republican ideologies. Not because he voted against any specific bill. Simply because he refused to propagate Tucker Carlson's conspiracy theories. RINO simply means you aren't a…

TomthunkitsMind: Today Is Thur. Feb 23rd, 2023, and Joe R Biden has been in Office for 764 Days. Since in office, he has reduced the debt in his first year by $1.7T. Pres. Biden has passed the biggest infrastructure bill in History! The Lowest Unemployment in 50yrs!

LittleVillage: Iowa Democrats’ 78-page cannabis reform bill never stood a chance of passing. “I don’t see change coming from a big, sweeping bill. Not with this governor, not with these Republicans in charge,” said Brad Knott, a former Democratic political consultant.

TonyHussein4: Governor Ron DeSantis is a fascist. Governor DeSantis and Florida Republicans are coming for your rights and freedoms. A Florida bill would require writers and bloggers, who write about the Governor and Republican state legislatures, to register with the state.

OTMbotic: Fox Chase

OccupyDemocrats: BREAKING: Montana Republicans introduce an insane bill that would ban people who have received the COVID-19 vaccine from donating blood, a move that would "decimate" the blood supply in the state, cutting it by up to 80%. RT IF YOU THINK THAT REPUBLICANS HAVE LOST THEIR MINDS!

dhothersall: Folk may not realise this but in 2018 the UK Tory government consulted on plans to reform the GRA to demedicalise the process in line with international best practice - i.e. exactly what the GRR Bill does. They issued guidance on the impact reform would have on the Equality Act:

isidro_li: We brush the other, invisible moon. Its caves come out and carry us inside. — Bill Knott

PregnantScrewed: Someone used our letter template to email their MP to express their concerns about the EU Retained Law Bill and a potential reversal in their employment rights. This was John Howell MPs response to her concerns and questions:

knott_richard: Seriously, what possible impact does this bill have on the rest of the UK? A bill that gives a little more help to such a small number. And this is the hill London want to kill the union on?

knott_richard: The trouble with compromising with extremism is you compromising yourself. What are his concerns with a bill that past with an overwhelming majority support, that only a tiny number of the public or even in his party are complaining about? Is the transphobic vote that important?

JungleTwittter: If less people would focus on: i wanted to do good and start to see things more complex than this watered down notion than Bill Gates couldnt fool people with: I wanted to do good and save people. The Saviour Complex is a mass psychological disease a virus infecting humanity

jay_mfc: Up until a few years ago I didn't have a great deal of knowledge about Gender Recognition Certificates or the Bill to improve the process & make it a little less traumatic for trans people. Then I was tasked with a piece of work directly focused on that very Bill.

backtolife_2023: Bill Gates, Johns Hopkins, and the WHO Just Simulated Another Pandemic.They completed a desktop simulation for a new Enterovirus originating near Brazil. The virus has a higher fatality rate than COVID-19 and disproportionately affects children.

ninaturner: The House just passed an $858,000,000,000 defense bill and not a single person, nor the media, asked “how are we going to pay for it?” When it’s time fund programs that help poor people, we hear that question from Dems, the GOP, & pundits in the corporate media.

Feargal_Sharkey: When water companies were privatised in 1989 they were all debit free. We, the tax payer, had written off all of the companies' debts. 33 years later they accumulated £54bn in debt and 20% of your bill now goes towards paying interest. We've been had!

Thomas Lovell Beddoes Poem
A Clock Striking Midnight
 by Thomas Lovell Beddoes

Hark to the echo of Time-s footsteps; gone
Thise moments are into the unseen grave
Of ages. Thy have vanished nameless. None,
