Yesterday 31 Ukrainian kids abducted by Russia returned to Ukraine

This is how their loved ones met them back home. Russia may have already deported between 260,000 and 700,000 minors from Ukraine.

For decades, Justice Clarence Thomas has secretly accepted luxury trips from a major Republican donor, newly obtained documents and interviews show.

The extent and frequency of these apparent gifts to Thomas has no known precedent in modern SCOTUS history... 🧵👇

If the media wants news clicks, they should look at the list I put together of the GOP threats to our democracy RIGHT NOW. 👇

This year, bills to weaken child labor protections have been introduced in Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, and South Dakota.

America is in its Second Gilded Age, where workers – including children – are treated as expendable and robber barons rule the roost.

You are clustered - posting outside it hurts
Links hurt. Mutes & unfollows hurt
Misinformation is down-ranked

Blue extends reach
Making up words or misspelling hurts

No. But that’s not the strategy. The strategy is to cast so much doubt in rules, laws, elections and governance that people stop believing in the efficacy or integrity of government, and then are deterred from voting or participating at all, opening up the path for autocracy.

1) As someone who was (briefly) in charge of the Twitter Media team - the group tasked with getting high profile people onto Twitter, and verification - AND as one of the few ever to voluntarily give up the blue check, I want to try to articulate how risky this policy change is.

[Uriel Epshtein @UrielEpshtein]

Before I lose my blue check, just want to offer a reminder that in the face of Russia's genocide in Ukraine, if you ever wondered what you'd have done during the rise of Nazi Germany... you're doing it now.

Donald Trump is no victim. His indictment is the result of his criminal behavior. This indictment sends the first of many clear messages to the nation that the Rule of Law still has meaning.

The Russian Olympic champion in cross-country skiing, Veronika Stepanova, on the requirement of the International Olympic Committee for Russian athletes not to publicly support for the war:

“The conditions are stupid. Ban me for supporting Putin? I am proud of it!"

Last night, I tweeted that I had been assessing & considering the challenges Ukraine's Army (UA) Commanders were facing in preparing for the “spring offensives.

I said I'd share some thoughts on what I would be thinking if I were among them.

Politics has content as well as form. And rght-wing politics is a fundamentally different kind of animal to left politics. Right-wing politics is a cynical, dishonest, rhetorical smokescreen, aimed at bypassing or destroying the very democracy it claims to be part of.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on...

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Why is it a bad idea to negotiate deals with Putin? A thread

[Mikhail Khodorkovsky @khodorkovsky_en]

Russia will station tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus

Putin said the move would not violate nuclear non-proliferation agreements and compared it to the US stationing its weapons in Europe

Moscow would not be transferring control of its arms to Minsk
