TWEETS OF NOTE
(@TevinMacharia) A 99-year-old man recently became baptized during a church service after spending most of his life identifying as an atheist. Emotional and supported by others around him, he publicly declared his faith through full immersion baptism. The moment led many people to reflect on spiritual change and faith later in life. Tweet.
(@WesternLensman) LA Mayor Karen Bass claims @spencerpratt ’s viral campaign ads are “taking a violent turn.” “When your messages are so hateful, or when you demonize people, then you do provoke people who are unstable, and you can jeopardize people's safety.” The ads have been inventive, effective and wildly popular — and this is the best counter that Bass can muster. Weak. Tweet.
