This is such a good piece of explanatory journalism on a question that has been nagging me and I’ve seen answered nowhere else:

[Mr. T @MrT]

I Thank GOD for another day! I just received my Annual Flu Shot and COVID-19 Moderna updated Booster, and I Feel Good!

[Lucas Kunce @LucasKunceMO]

This was my view in Iraq. I'd like to see Josh Hawley and Roy Blunt sleep next to this for months before their next vote on healthcare for veterans.

[Lucas Kunce @LucasKunceMO]

Stationed in Iraq, I lived near an open-air burn pit. Smoke filled the air all the time. And I had to run through it. To the Republicans who decided to screw veterans like me today...

Fuck you. Every last one of you.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Can’t believe we even have to say this, but: if you just went to the Senate floor and blocked benefits for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits while serving our country in a war zone, you are wrong.

Scott Pelley: You knew it was stamped "Top Secret." You knew what that meant.

Reality Winner: …I knew it was secret. But I also knew that I had pledged service to the American people. And at that point in time, it felt like they were being led astray. https://t.co/OoCNsP9343

“I am not a traitor. I am not a spy. I am somebody who only acted out of love for what this country stands for.” Reality Winner explains why she leaked to the media classified information on Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. https://t.co/OoCNsP9343

They were emotional drained from watching us fighting. Are you serious?

[Eric Fair @EricFair8]

As an American, tonight’s fireworks will either remind you of a shooting, or foreshadow one.

@MattGallagher0 Just FYI, for Presbyterians, “dancing” places you directly in the lust and gluttony levels.

“Officer Mora’s final gift was the gift of life to others in need. He was transferred…to NYU Langone Health, where we have honored the family’s wishes for him to be an organ donor hero, so that he may ‘Live On’ while saving the lives of others.”

[David Dark's Coordinated Campaign (of Love) @DavidDark]

Imagine deriding and trying to shame public school educators as if they're being selfish when they let us know they have a right to protect themselves from airborne disease while also serving our children. What's behind it?

[Eric Fair @EricFair8]

Have been all three. Police work and soldiering were cakewalks compared to a public school classroom.

[Eric Fair @EricFair8]

@saintsox @DavidDark Appreciate the words. Currently in a lottery program for the treatment here in Philly area (if needed) Real concern is we seem convinced Omicron is the end, like we’re declaring victory before the real fight. Which feels a bit like Iraq. Again.

“To demand penance is not to demonize “

[Phil Klay @PhilKlay]

“If our talk about sin is focused exclusively on personal actions and neglects the way sin infects and corrupts us, the range of things for which we might do penance will be too narrowly circumscribed…Nothing drives this reality home as acutely as war.”

Me: we stopped wearing masks? 🤔

[Eric Fair @EricFair8]

Admirable and overdue. But we should also consider reading this chapter before closing the book. We cannot censor our own story.

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

A defense bill is a declaration of our values. That’s why I introduced an amendment to the 2022 NDAA that would finally close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay. It's time to put this dark chapter in American history behind us once and for all.
