At least it’s not me this time disregarding Addison for the puppy photos. And the good news- my son beat me to the masters degree. But I’m trying hard to hold up the rear. And Orion can’t wait to meet his brother.

Hi twitter. It's been a while. Just a few updates in no particular order; Favas healed up wonderfully. I finally graduated with my Masters degree. Got Fava a puppy. Went out west for a weeks for Thanksgiving. Oh, and I caught Covid. Do not recommend that last one.

At Ikea Portland. Came in to get one of their wheelchairs - none available. Apparently they only have 3 wheelchairs.

[karrieann @consensiovoce]

Right?

So, since violence is NEVER the answer we are immediately de-militarizing the police and SOLELY teaching peacekeeping, mediation and de-escalation tactics

For the love of all that is holy, @Twitter.

Your customers want two things: they want see their timeline in chronological order, not curated.

They want an edit function.

We have $600 billion in frozen Russian foreign assets available to us.

All of it should be given to Ukraine.

ASAP!

Retweet if you agree.

@JamesFrye @AddisonBrothers @AddisonBrothers only plays a midwesterner on tv. Granted, his impersonation skills are good…

@JackDetsch @LincolnsBible Time for a reboot of Gilbert & Sullivan?

"I am the very model of a Russian Major General
The tactics of a vegetable & weapons mainly chemical
About logistics theory I am teeming with a lot of news
Of how to ground a convoy in the mud, or sell the parts for booze"

🧵My translation of the analysis of the current situation in Russia by an active FSB analyst. Buckle up for a long thread and definitely please share far & wide. The full text is over 2000 words. This is a highly insightful look behind the curtain - covers many subjects.

Across Ukraine, schools have been destroyed in Russian shelling and air strikes. In one, an injured child made a video on her Instagram feed saying: "I hope things are better where you are.... Send this video to all your Russian friends," @currenttimetv reports.

Lots of folks screaming about Chris Hayes and Mr. Buttigieg, but folks seem to have missed this.

[Reza Zandi @R_Zandi]

I have received definitive news that within the next 72hours the nuclear deal will be signed in Vienna.Even if it might take a couple of days more or so,what appears to be certain is that the deal will be reached.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. I mean from Putin’s perspective. Let’s send Ukraine more resistance fighters!

[karrieann @consensiovoce]

My heart is full seeing the grace & care being shown 2 the Ukrainian refugees.

My heart breaks for refugees who are watching the response 2 Ukraine wondering where we were when it happened 2 them.

We can do this. It’s clear now we can. Will we?

[karrieann @consensiovoce]

Most excellent.

[Kamil Galeev @kamilkazani]

Why Russia will lose this war?

Much of the "realist" discourse is about accepting Putin's victory, cuz it's *guaranteed*. But how do we know it is?

I'll argue that analysts 1) overrate Russian army 2) underrate Ukrainian one 3) misunderstand Russian strategy & political goals🧵

@rollwthepunches The group are looking for contacts in Poland willing to assist 2 Ukrainians, 1 is a wheelchair user, as they try to flee. This would look like a point of contact at the border, someone willing to host, ideally someone with a disability background if possible! Pls boost 🙏 !

[karrieann @consensiovoce]

Or, yknow, like the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. One can hope.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

Bombs don’t check your nationality and border security shouldn’t either.

Everyone fleeing Ukraine is in desperate need of shelter. I hope neighboring countries who are opening their borders to Ukrainians wouldn’t discriminate against Africans and Asians. Let’s lead with grace.

Honestly the twitter fever for "no fly zones" is a sobering reminder that Americans have close to no living memory of a military engagement with a peer military or even one that can put up a fight. One person was skeptical that a no fly zone is an act of war.
