I’ve seen more pictures of Trump and Lev together than I have of Trump and his son Barron.

Are you even a Republican if you don't have a photo with Lev Parnas?

Great attitude to #life!
Not every woman aspires to be 20 again,let's celebrate that wisdom knowledge & experience.

“I’m not 20.I don’t want to be 20, but I’m really freaking cool.That’s what I think about when I’m posting a photo.”Lyn Slater, 65,

A reminder from @JAMA_current: A strong sense of purpose improves mental and physical health + overall quality of life.
What's the biggest obstacle to having purpose in late life?
A culture that silences and segregates its older members. #ExposeAgeism https://t.co/1tBdHuvPTg

Michelle Alexander on the racial politics that connect mass incarceration and mass deportation A hopeful coda: "A politics of deep solidarity is beginning to emerge — the only form of politics that holds any hope for our collective liberation." https://t.co/DkECA7mZqM

Worth noting: Any time Warren has spoken about sexism - like being fired for being pregnant or being sexually harassed - she has been accused of lying.

Whoever your candidate is, that says something about the price women pay for talking about their experiences. #DemDebate

Whatever their age, women have the right to be seen and to be represented as subjects, not as objects

1/3 It's great to see @AARP finally #ExposeAgeism. But why no call to action?

[Margaret S. Chin @CM_MargaretChin]

This is huge. It's time to pass the Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act.

YES: #ExposeAgeism in medicine. And promote the fact that geriatricians perennially top the list of physicians most satisfied with their specialties -- despite the low pay, low status, and insurance-wrangling!

[Ashton Applewhite @thischairrocks]

"Let’s call it a collective new year’s resolution to fight #ageism in 2020." I like!

We olders need to join with the young #ClimateCrisis activists, like @Jamie_Margolin, who will inherit the planet.
Act like an ancestor.

[Ted Corcoran (RedTRaccoon) @RedTRaccoon]

This was my worst fear.

I didn't want to say anything out of respect to the families but the timing was too much of a coincidence.

A gentle reminder that often when a Twitter Id (@) is a name followed by 8 numbers or so, this is often an indication of a fraudulent or questionable account or a bot.If your Twitter ID looks like this, others may be fearful to follow you, so you may want to consider changing it.

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

If Republican Senators move for a quick dismissal of the charges against the President, with no witnesses or documents, it will be because they are afraid of the truth.

Dismissal = cover-up
