In case anyone is wondering about my aforementioned twitter retirement: https://t.co/YynNZepFVm

[David Leigh @DavidLLeigh]

Can’t think of a better reason to (temporarily) come out of twitter retirement than to celebrate @LauraMDMaguire’s latest important contribution to resilience research! 🎉 I am extremely honored to have been included among great leaders @cfhirschorn @cloax @zperkov and Ariel Wei.

This thread and the OTM segment https://t.co/BJZDHNp8GG are an insightful take on right-wing media and the cult they inspire.

As a former conservative activist and journalist, it has been so frustrating to see my former compatriots spreading wild and unchecked claims about "voter fraud." @jacknicas of the NYT took a deep look at claims of "dead" people in Michigan voting. Link in next tweet.

My new favorite slogan: “Make America not actively on fire again” 😂 Thanks @nbcsnl. I very much needed that this morning!

"Our democracy can survive a pandemic. It is unclear if it can survive a platform optimized for conspiratorial thinking. Like steel companies... dumping poisonous waste into waterways, Facebook pumps paranoia and disinformation into the body politic."

I understand they are grasping at straws to justify rank hypocrisy but please, try harder

Senators: if you don't hold yourself to your own standards, then we will hold you accountable.

Very inspiring projects and stories for these divisive times. Modeling civil discourse, finding common ground, putting empathy before ideology. I needed these this weekend.

Scientific American has never endorsed a presidential candidate in our 175-year history—until now.

The 2020 election is literally a matter of life and death. We urge you to vote for health, science and Joe Biden for President.

So would it be more, or less scary, if the authoritarian takeover of American democracy was being attempted by people who didn't generally seem to be dumber than dog-shit?

I guess I just don't get it but, to me, Trump accepting thousands of dollars from a neo-Nazi leader is a bigger story than Nancy Pelosi getting a haircut

[Steve Silberman @stevesilberman]

I know we're all numb, but it is ASTONISHING to me that a President who hobbled both the CDC and the FDA in the midst of a global pandemic that has killed nearly 190,000 Americans is still in a contender in this election, instead of being perp-walked out of the Oval Office.

This is great.

I just did it. Timed it. Took 3 minutes. Super easy.

Trump is OFFICIALLY NEUTRAL on a 17-year-old bringing a semi-automatic rifle to a police brutality protest and killing two people
