@USMCLiberal Mothers were told harsh discipline was necessary, esp. for boys, and that it required fathers to raise boys...that they were too lenient. "Tough love" was touted as the fix for bratty behavior even in toddlers. Return of strict toileting/sleeping advice.

[Elizabeth Moon @emoontx]

@USMCLiberal Yes, and they've been carefully coached in that lack of compassion for years...coached by right wing educators, scientists, medical professionals, bosses, as well as obvious politicians.

[JΛKΣ @USMCLiberal]

One thing I’ve noticed about MAGA —from Trump and Musk, on down to their supporters— is an across-the-board lack of compassion.

That is, unless they are directly affected — then they become indignant when others don’t sympathize with them.

It’s borderline sociopathic behavior.

@GeorgeTakei Women are citizens. Right now, at least, the law says they have the same rights as male citizens. That means ANY limitations on their travel between states is NOT CONSTITUTIONAL.

[Elizabeth Moon @emoontx]

@Robmontz @charlesmurray The American Enterprise Institute is a politically biased right wing (no longer, if they ever were, "center/right" as they claim) "think tank"...not a true research entity. They can call someone a "scholar" based on their own opinion. I don't agree.

[Elizabeth Moon @emoontx]

@CalameDiana @Robmontz @charlesmurray Yup. I read his stuff when it first came out. Sloppy thinking, sloppy data collection, seeking to prove his hypothesis rather than disprove it...the difference between good science and bad. And yes, I had the background in stats back then to know what I saw.

@SenWarren Keep it up. My background as a former code jockey while in the military makes me acutely aware of how much damage those young men Musk owns can do.

[Elizabeth Moon @emoontx]

@ezpzBrook @JaworskiForTX Yup. Because THEY want to control the schools and PROFIT from them.

[Elizabeth Moon @emoontx]

@JaworskiForTX Yeah, it increases the cost of schools AND amounts to illegal collusion to privatize government and enrich individual citizens and harm others using government services.

[Elizabeth Moon @emoontx]

@JessicaUSAF Yup. Also insisted we pull out of World Health Organization and cease all related foreign aid. WHO and epidemic surveillance, and funding aid to nations with outbreaks of (frex) Marburg virus is how come we haven't had outbreaks here.

[JessicaUSAF @JessicaUSAF]

You can’t make sense of nonsense.

@joncoopertweets I am personally PROUD of Bishop Budde. SHE is doing God's work; she is on rock-solid theological ground. There will be no apologies from me for my denomination, that cathedral, or Bishop Budde. Trump is not a Christian, demonstrates 0 Christian virtues, is a walking scandal.

[Elizabeth Moon @emoontx]

@jeremiahjw I've been saying that since BEFORE the election. Tariffs on the foreign-sourced food we need because we no longer feed our own population, AND lack of workers for our ag industry = less food produced = higher cost. MUCH higher. And this is what MAGA wanted.

[Elizabeth Moon @emoontx]

@hakeemjeffries And NYT, WaPo, major "news" networks, too.

[Hakeem Jeffries @hakeemjeffries]

House Republicans pretended not to know about Project 2025 last year.

Now they are implementing it.

We will hold them accountable for lying to the American people.

[Elizabeth Moon @emoontx]

@JessicaUSAF @RonFilipkowski Nobody wants details of someone else's "bowel blockage." But you can't expect that person to understand that.

[Elizabeth Moon @emoontx]

@chrisgeidner I hope any employee of a business holding or seeking a federal contract who voted for him is now worried and upset and feeling they just stabbed themselves...because they did.

[Chris “Law Dork” Geidner @chrisgeidner]

BREAKING: In a new executive order, Donald Trump has revoked the federal contractor nondiscrimination executive order, EO 11246, that was signed by Lyndon Johnson in 1965 and has protected employees of businesses seeking federal contracts from discrimination ever since.

[Elizabeth Moon @emoontx]

@JessicaUSAF Those who don't look...don't see. I've seen 'em.
