“For You, O Democracy”
— Walt Whitman, from Leaves of Grass
“We
the People,”
the first words
of the US Constitution,
boldly declare
the power and sanctity
of democracy.
The Constitution
does not begin
“In the Name
of His Holiness,”
nor “His Highness,”
nor “The King,”
nor “The Dear Leader,”
the ADL doesn't want you to wear a mask because Israel is using facial recognition programs to identify and target protestors
Sounds like a voice capture phish. Set a safe word for emergency messages with your family and friends so they can tell real from AI.
“Leave it to the reptile for whom it has been fabricated” is a wholly underrated and underused Einstein quote
If I were not an American, I would leave now. Even with a visa, there are too many stories of ice imprisoning people who were following the rules. This couple was undocumented, but checking in regularly with ice and they were taken from an ice appointment.

America, wake up
That's a great question. I don't know the answer. I was reading the USDA site. It and many others say 20% is our average export rate. www.fas.usda.gov/data/percent...
This is totally wrong. The truth is the opposite. We export about 20% of our crops.
I know we're being all ha ha, but that's not true. It's the reverse. On average 20% goes overseas.

Can you imagine if 40% of the room at the State of the Union has their back to him? He would freak out. Channel the wild European Parliament clips we've all seen down the years. Stand up and refute his power.
This idea that the Dems should skip the State of the Union is really, really REALLY bad. We, the non-trumpers, need a physical, visual sign Dems are serious and hear us. Lack of attendance allows them, and us, to be ignored. Instead, they should attend, stand up, and turn their backs to him.
This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
Is this about personal freedom or the free market
USA promised to defend Afghans if they helped us against Taliban—then Trump backed out
USA Promised to help Kurdish allies in Syria—then Trump backed out
USA promised to defend Ukraine if it gave up its nukes—now Trump is backing out
Trump has further turned the world against us. We are not safer
The other sin here is thinking that these issues are separable in the first place. They aren't. These dots are not separate or even separable issues. Believing that you can parse anti-DEI from "RFK Jr. And Science" and "trans issues" as if they're not intimately linked is beyond foolish.
Thank you!! 👏👏👏
Question for residents in those think tanks... Ukraine gave up its nukes in exchange for security. Isn't the US obligated by that memorandum to provide security? What does it do to international relations if the US decides it doesn't need to do what it said it would do.
Okay so as a resident of Norway, can you please check if the story is true? Because all we're seeing over here in the US are screenshots of a tweet. I don't see anything online from a legitimate news source. Cohen used to be on MSNBC so he should know better, but I don't think the story is true.
That reporter really looked at the president of a country being battered by an invading force and asked “but what was he wearing”
Like, I know so many editors and journalists and they’re so careful and thoughtful about their work. I’ve learned so much from them about using a public platform responsibly. And the NYT just straight up decided to make a power graph of which minorities and war victims are most important to them.
There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵
A book recommendation thread for your Friday evening! These books are...hard. They ask things of you. They confront you. But they do so in a way that returns far more than what they take. They may take something outta ya, as they say, but you are more after reading them than you were before...
