Ukraine Thread 1/

As Ukraine is trending with topics like WWIII and World War 3 - certainly we all hope that ongoing conflict will not escallate, let's do a Thread on Ukraine. There is probably a lot in this, you did not know, and that gives a new light to this conflict

Baseball fans mourn the passing of Dave Frishberg thanks to his wistful song “Van Lingle Mungo,” but I’m serious when I say that every member of Congress should take part in a moment of silence in memory of Frishberg thanks to his “Schoolhouse Rock” song “I’m Just a Bill.”

It's a critical mistake to see this as being a two-headed monster. Yes, you have a psychopath at the top. Yes, insurgents perform the violence. But it's a three-headed monster. It's the middle head that makes it possible; elected officials who amplify the psychopath and his lies.

Conservatives’ belief in victimhood is a central element of white supremacy. Every attempt to rectify racial justice is subversive, even though it is the status quo that has wrought huge disparities in health, wealth, etc

"The media still seems unwilling or unable to reform itself. There have been no major efforts as an industry to systematically examine the role we played in America’s journey to the brink." —@KarenAttiah, global opinions editor at the Washington Post. https://t.co/ETwBfCdE1I

Hundreds of thousands of DC residents had to endure a coup in their backyard today, go into curfew at 6pm, and fear for their personal safety. None of them have any representation in Congress.

Retweet if you think @Twitter needs to SHUT DOWN Trump's twitter account IMMEDIATELY!
