This used to get some people really angry.
I am a #History geek and never thought (hoped) I would see a re-run of the persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany (1933-1938).
This was until I experienced it myself as a non-vaxed citizen of #Finland in 2021.
History repeats.

We have found the dumbest tweet of the day, folks.

NYTimes airhead @ezraklein:
"Clean, abundant energy is the foundation on which a more equal, just and humane world can be built."
Two points:
1. Wind power made the trans-Atlantic slave trade possible.
2. Modern 'clean' energy has been a disaster.

I wish I had any faith that the lawyers prosecuting and investigating were driven by adherence to the rule of law and not concerned at all with political opportunity or reprisals that inevitably enter the calculus for this kind of stuff. The Trump adminclearly belongs in jail.

Essentially Exhibit One for the trial of Mark Meadows for witness tampering.
With this kind of criminal exposure, it's easy to imagine Meadows has flipped and is cooperating with the Justice Department.
Message conveyed by his current spokesperson to Cassidy Hutchinson:

Fucking disgusting, SCOTUS. what the hell is wrong with you? Oh, i know. Kavanaugh, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch and Coney is wrong with you.
Quote Tweet
To be clear, the 11th Circuit stayed Smith's execution *precisely because* he persuasively argued that the executioner would have "extreme difficulty in accessing his veins." SCOTUS lifted its stay, but the 11th Circuit turned out to be exactly right. cases.justia.com/federal/appell

The Republican Party and its mouthpieces now regularly spread hate and deranged conspiracy theories. It is shocking, but not surprising, that violence is the result. As citizens, we must hold them accountable for their words and the actions that follow.

Stop listening to the opinions of people with a lot of money, followers, or fame but with zero education or experience in strategy, geo-politics, history, or military disciplines. No, actually Ukraine does not have to make peace or come to terms with Russia to end the war.

Pointing out truth that Republican controlled states (with higher poverty, less access to healthcare & social safety net & opportunity, easy access to guns) have more violent crime than Democratic states is really messing up some deeply held misconceptions people have about US.

If this is true, it is extremely fucked up.
Quote Tweet
Elon Musk reportedly spoke directly with Vladimir Putin before tweeting a proposal to end the war in Ukraine that would have seen territory permanently ceded to Russia.
Really makes you question whose interests a Musk-run Twitter would represent. vice.com/en/article/ake

Russia is launching missiles at residential areas of major Ukrainian cities: including Zaporizhzhia for several days in a row, and now Dnipro and Kyiv.
