    Contrary to conventional wisdom, adding 🇫🇮 to NATO would increase chances for peace in Ukraine by establishing a clear, permanent geopolitical cost to Putin for his illegal invasion not imposed by Ukrainian leaders yet increasing their flexibility on other terms.

    Tomorrow morning 🇫🇮 will officially announce its intention to seek membership. And 🇸🇪 will follow within days.

    As a practicing Catholic, I’m disappointed to see pushing right-wing propaganda after a challenging week for maternal healthcare. But yet again he’s playing politics. And if you really believe in limited government, stay out of people’s private decisions. Period.

    I deeply respect the First Amendment rights of speech and assembly. But no one has the right to interfere with the fundamental and natural right of all Virginians to practice their religion in peace.

    Surprised this tweet remains up on the internet that Roe v Wade created (following this logic).

    Worth noting that in the 50 yrs since Roe, men have become less likely to find a spouse, less likely father kids or live with the kids they father, and less likely to participate in the workforce.

    There are millions of men whose lives would have been much worse without abortion. Men who wouldn't have found their big loves, wouldn't have their kids, wouldn't have been as successful, wouldn't have taken big risks. Many of them don't think about it. Some don't even know it.

    Is it a new norm that people can play videos on flights and such with no headphones, letting the sound just blast out? If so, how do I join the resistance?

    Clear sign that the “great resignation” has transformed conventional wisdom on workers and labor than new report acknowledging the clear value of unions.
