"Rather than something to pathologize, I want us to see insecurity as an opportunity... Recognizing our shared existential insecurity, and understanding how it is currently used against us, can be a first step toward forging solidarity."

@CharlesArndt It’s astonishing how blatant they are.

@thehill Thanks, Rick. I hope you will support increased protection against corporate monopolies, which, coupled with Abbott’s failure to maintain a clean production facility resulted in the current US shortages.

Ted plays the one-note Republican tune. He’s good at things that require no thinking or honesty.

.@SenTeCruz: "For 14 months we've seen disastrous policy after disastrous policy from Joe Biden. [...] I think it's unfortunate Joe Biden when he ran for president in 2020 ran as a moderate centrist. That Joe Biden was nowhere to be found at the State of the Union."

A sober assessment of where we are, and where we cannot go. Good 12-part read.

[Rep. Liz Cheney @RepLizCheney]

President Trump spent a large part of his presidency attacking NATO, saying that NATO was obsolete, and attacking our allies.

We are certainly seeing today how crucially important NATO is, how crucially important our allies are.

I don’t think everyone remembers that Zelensky was the leader on the other end of the “I want you to do me a favor though” phone call. I sense the first impeachment sounded kinda obscure to some people. But withholding lethal aid was both an actual crime and a moral crime.

I was told I'm supposed to do this.

@robertlay @elonmusk Ayn Rand lived in a fantasy world fueled by her delusion that she was more intelligent and more productive than everyone else. Taxation is not theft. It’s the price of living in an organized society that recognizes its potential is more the the sum of its individuals’ potentials

[Greg Banks @gregbanks]

@elonmusk One hopes the SEC is already investigating this manipulation.

@thehill Poor Ted. Someone get him some help.

[Greg Banks @gregbanks]

@cmclymer Maybe give the guy a break. He’s in a wheel chair. Hard to punch in that position.

@petersagal @waitwait Washington’s Supreme Court legalized possession of ALL drugs, not just pot. WA was 1st state to legalize recreational marijuana in 2012. See: ⚡️ fill-in-the-blanks. #MethTourismWA 🤦🏻

I honestly don't get what's so difficult about "Don't threaten, conspire, or attempt to forcibly overthrow the government of the United States."

[Greg Banks @gregbanks]

@thehill Pathetic.

Republicans cry when an NFL player chooses to kneel during the National Anthem, calling it unpatriotic, but Trump supporters rubbing their own shit on the walls of the capital and killing police is what? Trump says "Special and deserving of his love"

There is hella more evidence of incitement to insurrection than evidence of election-changing voter fraud

@PRL320 @wsdot_traffic Ha!
