Thanks, Meta!

I'm in on the conference call with President Obama and OFA. He'll be discussing the #IranDeal
—
meta (@metaquest) July 30, 2025

And here he is! He sounds great.

****

PBO talking about Iran Deal and the stakes involved as we move forward to implement it. Reminding people about when he 1st ran & ending Iraq
—
meta (@metaquest) July 30, 2025

And ending the mindset that got us into the Iraq War. Said he would be unequivocal in his support for Israel.
—
meta (@metaquest) July 30, 2025

****

PBO says one of his top FP policy objectives has been to refocus attn on non-proliferation of nuclear weapons.
—
meta (@metaquest) July 30, 2025

Says Iran deal is one we can be proud of. It cuts off 4 main pathways for Iran to get nuclear weapon. We'll know exactly what they're doing
—
meta (@metaquest) July 30, 2025

****

This deal subjects Iran to THE most rigorous inspection regime ever in history, which will continue after his term in office.
—
meta (@metaquest) July 30, 2025

$20 MILLION is being spent to lobby against the Iran Deal.
—
meta (@metaquest) July 30, 2025

****

We're going to be able to deter Iran from attacking any of our allies w/conventional weapons. We must make sure we prevent nuclear weapon.
—
meta (@metaquest) July 30, 2025

Every argument put forward against this deal is either in accurate or presupposes we should be making sure Iran forgoes any nuke ambitions.
—
meta (@metaquest) July 30, 2025

****

In the real world, that's not possible.
—
meta (@metaquest) July 30, 2025

POTUS now talking sanctions & their effectiveness so far in concert with international community. Iran came to the table, so goal achieved.
—
meta (@metaquest) July 30, 2025

****

The lobbying that is taking place is fierce, well-financed and relentless.
—
meta (@metaquest) July 30, 2025

I've never been more certain about a policy decision.
—
meta (@metaquest) July 30, 2025

****

One of my frustrations about Iraq War was everybody got very active and involved after it was too late. This president is on your side.
—
meta (@metaquest) July 30, 2025

I need you to get involved and contact your Reps and Senators to express support for this deal. We need your citizenship right now.
—
meta (@metaquest) July 30, 2025

THANK YOU, @POTUS. We've got your back. #IranDeal @SenateDems @HouseDemocrats @NancyPelosi @SenatorReid

#AllLivesMatter Is The Epitome Of Privilege

If all lives really matter to the folk who proclaim it, why are they just using it as a rhetorical comeback, and not a call to action?
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

If all lives really matter to the folk who proclaim it, why is it a punchline rather than an affirmation that police brutality is wrong?
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

****

If you think all lives matter *equally* you should have a major problem with police who kill unarmed civilians and get away with it.
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

Actually what they mean by all lives matter is the cops' lives matter more, so they get to kill whoever they want whenever they want.
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

****

What type of advocacy are the "all lives" folk doing for all lives? Are y'all feeding the homeless? Tutoring kids who attend shitty schools?
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

Is the all lives matter movement pushing for Medicaid expansion in red states? How about protesting against the death penalty? Bueller?!
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

****

America is home to 30,000 gun deaths per year. What's the All Lives Matter movement doing about that? How about obesity, diabetes & stroke?
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

Y'all don't really give a fuck about "all lives" you're just tired of having to hear Black folk talk about ours.
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

****

Seriously, why did it take the Black Lives Matter movement for the All Lives Matter farce to crop up? Y'all not getting enough attention?
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

Have there not been enough international genocides occurring perpetually for the all lives matter folk to have given a fuck BEFORE BLM?
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

****

Are there not enough impoverished, dehydrated, fly infested kids around the world for All Lives Matter to have spoken up a long time ago?
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

Bottom line is they're full of shit.
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

****

All Lives Matter is oddly silent about how many White Americans are struggling to survive and totally reliant upon government assistance.
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

All Lives Matter is oddly silent about White ppl buying stockpiles of guns and ammo, then going on shooting rampages in White communities.
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

****

All Lives Matter doesn't have shit to say about all these damn meth labs and pill mills in White rural communities. Don't they count too?
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

Until All Lives Matter creates an actual social justice agenda to buttress their claim, I don't believe them.
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

****

Where was the All Lives Matter movement after Sandy Hook? Don't kindergarteners count? Where do y'all stand on preventable mass shootings?
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

Where does All Lives Matter stand on climate change? Do LGBTQ people's lives count too? Are y'all for same sex marriage and adoption?
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

****

Who the fuck even speaks for the All Lives Matter "movement"? It doesn't even have a policy agenda, so I doubt it has a leader.
—

If you're part of the All Lives Matter "movement" and didn't take the ALS challenge, why?

****

Why doesn't All Lives Matter organize a protest march for the White folk in Appalachia whose health and wealth have been stolen by Big Coal?
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

When will All Lives Matter march on Washington to keep the Republican Party from slashing elderly White people's Medicare/Social Security?
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

****

I seem to know their issues better than they do. Maybe it's because they're too busy telling Black ppl what to do instead of looking inward.
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

Case in point, the cops are killing White folk too, so why isn't All Lives Matter joining hands w/Black Lives Matter to end ALL the killing?
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

****

They're like "cops kill White people too" and I'm like "does that make it ok?" If all lives matter how is THAT ok?
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

They really should just say all lives not involved in a police encounter matter because you deserve to die if the cops think so, so welp.
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

****

How do we call ourselves a civilized society when the folk claiming the all lives matter mantle are giving a wink & nod to police brutality?
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

If there's anything ALM should be outraged about, it's fascist cops killing Americans of ALL stripes simply b/c they can and will get off.

Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

Where does All Lives Matter stand on Native Americans "living" on "reservations" and the resultant alcoholism/depression/suicide it causes?
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

How does All Lives Matter feel about Muslim folk who can't even enjoy a flight for vacation b/c y'all are looking at them like they're OBL?
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

****

Is All Lives Matter gonna get behind comprehensive legal immigration that doesn't split families up? Are y'all gonna answer Donald Trump?
—
Propane Jane (@docrocktex26) July 29, 2025

I challenge anyone who has ever uttered all lives matter to pick any group of people you don't identify with, and champion THEIR interests.
