Putin is not just at war with Ukraine, but with the current international order. There are fair criticisms of the current global order's many issues, but forcing change under the threat of a nuclear missile will only usher in an even worse outcome for the globe. (3/3)

However, we must not be paralyzed by them. Allowing Putin to force concessions using the threats of nuclear attacks would only succeed in making the world even more at risk of the use of nuclear weapons. It would be a precedent set that every autocrat would see value in. (2/3)

The war in Ukraine does not yet seem to have an end in the near future, but the climax is soon approaching as Putin begins to run out of options. We are probably at the highest risk of nuclear war since the Cuban Missile Crisis. We must take the nuclear threats seriously. (1/3)

I want to thank everyone who helped me in my campaign. It meant more to me than you know and as long as this country is plundered by corporate masters, I will continue fighting to improve this country. Nonetheless, removing Gimenez is still necessary, but my fight is not over.

The reality is this, nuclear energy is not necessary, it takes too long to build, requires an extremely large "state-like" apparatus for protection, costs too much, and produces far less energy. This is more insidious because it hinders real climate policy. 3/3

It takes a minimum of 10 years to complete a nuclear reactor, but an average of longer. Also, it would be a lot more expensive than other sources of green energy. A nuclear power plant costs at least 3x more than wind/solar while providing at least 3x less energy than both. 2/3

I was sent a clip from someone of the Breaking Points podcast talking about the climate bill. While I think the bill is very inadequate, I also took issue with the promotion of nuclear energy by . The issue with nuclear is that it is far too late. 1/3

Here is proof that the GOP is a dangerous political insurgency. The results speak for themselves. Congress voted on codifying same-sex marriage and contraception, 157 and 195 Republicans voted no respectively. At least 70% of Americans support "yes", this is what an insurgency is

What an abysmal take, this is projection. It is clear the person either misdirecting or ignorant of market dynamics is you. Look at this BIS report investigating inflation, it is about 15 pages and will give you a decent understanding of this inflation. bis.org/speeches/sp220

Ouch. Inflation is far too important a problem for the White House to keep making statements like this. It’s either straight ahead misdirection or a deep misunderstanding of basic market dynamics. twitter.com/POTUS/status/1…

We must win in the 2022 Midterms, the stakes were already so high, but now, with Roe v Wade officially overturned, it has increased by orders of magnitude. We must codify women’s rights to choose through congress. Then have a serious discussion of the current court’s legitimacy.

While I find many of the tweets about #TexasSecession rather amusing and funny, Texas cannot secede. Regardless of the results of any votes, the Union went to war over this argument and as the winner, the Union decided that secession is not legally possible, so it's theater.

Congrats to for his victory in Colombia and I wish him great success in his goal to make Colombia a social democratic society, like you see in most of Western Europe. I am happy for the people of Colombia for this monumental win!
The solutions to violent crime that I have been seeing are reactionary. Police will not fix crime, they are a reactionary force, they can only be useful for people who fall through the cracks. The ONLY solution to violence is eradicating poverty, full stop, anything else is a lie

Enough! Saying gun control hurts freedom is absurd, amounting to propaganda. Gun laws don't curtail freedom any more than speed limits. How many must die before we start trying to save lives? Violence isn't a Dem or Rep issue. It's an American issue. #Uvalde #GunControlNow

they won't call for benefits; they'll serve the masters gladly and passively. And that's optimal for corporations. Right now, ~64% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Workers in the US are underpaid, overworked, and most of all over exploited.

Alan Greenspan, while testifying to congress in 1997, said in too many words to quote that because of removing protections for worker organizing increased worker insecurity. And having high levels of worker insecurity is very beneficial to corporations.

I took my GED at the age of 16 and did not complete my college education. This is not because I failed the education system. The education system failed me.

I walked up to a group of people to get some petition signatures. In the introduction I say that I am running against Carlos Gimenez and the whole group instantly wanted to sign 😂. You gotta love to see it, so I had to share it. #FL26 #VoteBlueIn2022

It is very encouraging speaking to people in #FL26, getting petitions and having the majority of people I contact engaged in politics. The most damaging thing you can do to yourself is being apathetic. Elites spend billions wrongly convincing you that you can’t change anything.

What the Florida House is doing with the #DontSayGayBill is absolutely disgusting and against the will of the people in Florida. We must watch carefully of every single one of those despots that vote "yes" on that bill and remove them as soon as possible.

The Israeli forces in East Jerusalem are trying to arrest a Palestinian with down syndrome. The look of utter terror on the face of this Palestinian in Sheik Jarrah is heartbreaking. It is frustrating that the US does nothing about the occupation of the West Bank. #FreePalestine
