@emuse1955 @drrjpeterson @ThoughtfulSaint Why can’t God have a morally sufficient reason to lie?

[Spencer @Cutupforce]

@Philip_Goff "I think God exists necessarily and thus doesn’t need explaining." Why can't the same be said for the possibly infinite chain of causation -- that it exists necessarily?

"Could this be true?" you ask. "Another book giveaway?"

Yes!

The Animal Turn is delighted to be giving away a copy of @JoshLMilburn thought provoking book "Food, Justice, and Animals" published by @OxUniPress. Like and Re-tweet this post to be entered into the random draw.

Hawaii is offering free round trip tickets to Oahu to out-of-state remote workers who want to live and work there temporarily while contributing to the state's economy https://t.co/osiLp0NUlJ

My friend Joyce Poole, who is to elephants what Jane Goodall is to chimps, has repeatedly made clear to the @BronxZoo that keeping Happy in isolation is deeply cruel and tantamount to torture.

@JimBreheny and @TheWCS don't care and continue to fight it in court.

[Yashar Ali 🐘 @yashar]

So glad Kaavan has a new home

But Happy, who is 49, has been living in isolation for 14 years now

The only elected official who has spoken out for her is Speaker @CoreyinNYC

Two sanctuaries are willing to take her but the @BronxZoo keeps fighting her lawyers at @NonhumanRights

@jadler1969 What about the norm that presidents are not above the rule of law?

[Spencer @Cutupforce]

@yuhline Hopefully there will be a progressive running in 2022 in my district (where Max Rose lost).

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

I want to congratulate all those who worked so hard to make this historic day possible. Now, through our continued grassroots organizing, let us create a government that works for ALL and not the few. Let us create a nation built on justice, not greed and bigotry.

@SecularOutpost Why not (1) in states with Republican Senators?

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

1/ Republicans are suddenly trying to pretend that their rush to confirm Amy Coney Barrett isn't about ACA repeal.

They are lying.

I've put together in one thread the story of their 10 year plan to get rid of the ACA. It all leads to this moment.

Please read the whole thing.

I fact-checked Mike Pence's 10 biggest whoppers tonight for @peacockTV's live VP debate coverage - lies and half-truths on everything from coronavirus to China to climate change.

Watch it here in just two minutes:

I look forward to the President’s enablers explaining why it was totally appropriate for him to (1) hide his positive test for 36+ hours; and (2) travel to a fundraiser—to say nothing of not masking or social distancing—while he knew that he was both positive and symptomatic.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This isn’t news, Kellyanne.

Our differences are exactly why I joined Biden’s Climate Unity Task Force - so we could set aside our differences & figure out an aggressive climate plan to address the planetary crisis at our feet.

Trump doesn’t even believe climate change is real.

[Jo Ling Kent @jolingkent]

NPR: Just days before her death, as her strength waned, Ginsburg dictated this statement to her granddaughter Clara Spera: "My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed." https://t.co/vRCuatj5ZQ

.@Twitter, @jack—if anything he’s tweeted has ever needed to be taken down, it’s this. For the sake of your platform, if not the country, do it. Please.

(RT if you agree out there.)

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Donald Trump is the most anti-science and anti-environment president our nation has ever known. It’s destroying our climate and destroying our communities.

The climate crisis is an existential threat—and we can’t afford four more years of denial and sabotage.
