Three weeks from today I'll be in the ICU recovering from my brain tumor removal—providing I don't get bumped by people who could easily prevent themselves from being in those beds, but who refuse to.

The fact that I even have to be concerned about that makes my blood boil.

In UK, any household can get a **7-pack** of rapid tests every day for free…

An incredible example of what taking a true public health approach with regard to #COVID19 testing looks like.

@kahndooiet I can't even tell if this is satire lmao

@BluesdaveDave @OnlyInBOS Yes. You're clearly not from this area. A lot have people have drowned in ponds around here. There is a hypothesis that these bodies of water feed underground springs which create dangerous currents.

I wrote a Suez sea shanty and I have no regrets

[Julie Roginsky @julieroginsky]

I get it now. Ted and Heidi Cruz wanted their children to be safe, to have basic sanitary services like heat and running water, to leave behind a third-world apocalyptic nightmare for a safer place. Like so many parents before them, they decided to cross the Mexican border.

@AOC Donated from Massachusetts. Stay warm and stay safe down there Texas ❤

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

I feel like I should do something if we hit $1M in Texas relief. What should it be? (Don’t be weird pls) https://t.co/1MJnHpfagF

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Holy smokes.

Our Texas relief mobilization has already raised $325k for food, housing, elder care & direct relief straight to vulnerable Texans.

This might be a little crazy... but can we raise $1M by midnight?

💯% goes to Feeding Texas, ECHO & more: https://t.co/TTIiNimja7

what Ted Cruz just did is what every wealthy person's response will be to climate catastrophe.

[Jess Dweck @TheDweck]

“Ted Cruz wouldn’t do anything to help Texas anyway” isn’t the stellar defense you think it is

[Hugo Lowell @hugolowell]

Source confirms that Republican Sen. Ted Cruz’s staff asked Houston Police for assistance at the airport before his flight to Cancun — meaning he diverted emergency resources away from Texas for his own gain.

🐾 We woofed this before: one can’t fake kindness to fool us, doggos. We can snifferentiate an intrinsically good hooman from a bad one. Small gestures like giving his own #coffee to a journalist who didn’t have time to get any in the AM prove that dad @POTUS is genuinely kind.

@AnthonyMKreis @mwilsonGA What the actual fuck is this

[DCPetterson.bsky.social @dcpetterson]

There is a logical fallacy called "tu quoque", which means, "you, too".

"You can't accuse ME of X, when YOU'VE done X!!"

This isn't a defense (even in the few cases when it's honest). It is neither a denial nor a justification. It's deflection, done when the accusation is true.

Schoen is pretending courtroom "due process" must be followed--after meeting with some of the jurors to plan strategy last night.
