Today is an example of the two Americas on the horizon. One represented by states like Georgia slowly emerging from the cloud of America darkest past and the other at the Capitol with those running back into that cloud with a fury.

For anyone asking me "Maybe you should give up Crimea and Donbas in exchange for peace?"
Before asking this question, name me the specific region in your country you would be willing to give up if Putin started bombing your cities.
Recent data shows masks prevent transmission, incl two large studies specific to schools + have new data on Long Covid.
So yes, we are moving towards removing protective measures, but whatever the motives, it is abundantly clear that it simply isn’t based on science/evidence.
I think the arguments against NATO’s eastward expansion are fairly persuasive except for the fact they never wrestle with the fact that the countries at issue - Poland, the Baltics, etc *desperately wanted* to join NATO, and strenuously lobbied to do so.
It is regrettable that many Western commentators repeated Putin’s narrative that the problem came from an aggressive NATO expansion aimed at encircling Russia.
Time for a reset of narratives. Here are some simple insights, informed by our work on the game theory of alliances. 🧵
I have thought literally all day about the Ukrainian soldiers on an island knowing the Russians were about to kill them. “Russian warship, go f—k yourself.” What a way to go out.
#Estonia is banning Russian airlines from our airspace. We invite all EU countries to do the same. There is no place for planes of the agressor state in democratic skies. #StandWithUkraine
To any Marxists feeling kindly towards Putin today, or spouting excuses for him like, "US imperialism pushed Putin into a war/he's just doing what he has to."
Putin isn't a communist. He's not your friend. He's just a fascist.
Through the horror I can’t stop thinking about the sheer idiocy. Putin is creating & reinforcing all the things he is most scared of that were once phantom. A Ukraine that’s alien to Russia and despises it, and a massive reinvigoration of NATO and huge anti-Russian resolve.
@MarkBorthwick11@davidaxelrod We are all aware here that Bennett is even more nativist then Bibi right???? Not sure if we should be celebrating his ascendancy in the same context of the fall of trump and others.
Let's just sit with this for a moment and what it means.
Tomorrow, Kamala Devi Harris will be the first woman sworn in as vice president of the United States.
