@RepSlotkin I agree, @RepSlotkin. But no matter what they call themselves, we shouldn't call these guys "police". Police don't kill reporters and attack their funerals. These are occupying soldiers, in occupied territory, committing war crimes.

“Report on Human Rights Violations in the United States in 2021” https://t.co/fZ8i3Cnl9w

Every year, China publishes a report on the human rights situation in the United States – a healthy alternative to the self-congratulatory rhetoric we are accustomed to.

@drbecky_ I have a question. Perhaps you have already answered it somewhere. Are we going to be able to see Webb (or its hot side) in the night sky?

With such values, the USA won't be rich much longer.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Can someone explain to me why the richest country in the history of the world somehow “can’t afford” national paid family and medical leave but has no problem finding $768,000,000,000 to pour into our defense budget?

In league with each other, you say. Can it be that corrupt people on both sides share a common interest in protecting the opium trade?

[George Galloway @georgegalloway]

The DIRECTOR of the #CIA flying to #Kabul to treat with the #Talibans today can mean only one of two things. Either the US has suffered a defeat of abject historic proportions and is reduced to begging ragged arsed gunmen on bicycles for quarter, or the US is in league with them

Getting vaccinated against infectious disease is a way to protect yourself, family and neighbors.

[Margaret Nielsen, PhD @msunielsen]

@MiaFarrow @kdw_8437 True. Polio struck me in 1946, a decade before polio vaccines existed. I've experienced hospitalizations and life-long disability.

Then, parents collected dimes to fund vaccine research, and rejoiced at the mid-1950s Salk vaccine.

Vaccines are a blessing - then and now.
