@davidsibley @franklogue When we brought our son home from India at 15 months, we were strongly encouraged to nest with him for at least six weeks so that he could acclimate to a whole new slate of senory data. As a toddler he already had "normal" established in Mumbai. Mystic, CT required a hard rewrite

@FatherTim I knew someone who, at the suggestion of his organist, made learning to sing it his Lenten discipline. They practiced every day of that Lent, except for Sundays, of course. He said he was glad he had done it because it had grown him in unexpected ways.

@JoniSweet Thank you for this article. #SurvivorsGuilt is very real and very documented for those who have lived through many kinds of trauma, including soldiers, 1st responders, etc.

Rest in peace and rise in glory, Ms. Leachman!

Just a reminder that Hillary Clinton was a private citizen when they held Benghazi hearings. Save the “he’s a private citizen” bullshit. 4 died in Benghazi, 5 died in D.C. Hillary didn’t tell Islamic militants to attack but Trump told insurrectionist to.

This woman should be on a watch list. Not in Congress.

As I reflect on the past four years, I can't help but think of Congressman John Lewis' powerful words, "Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime.”

I’ve received communion fewer times during this pandemic than Trump has been impeached.

[Amy Siskind @Amy_Siskind]

Republicans Wednesday:
- OVERTHROW THE ELECTION!!!!

Republicans after violent coup attempt:
- unity and healing.

I call BULLSHIT!

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

There can be no healing without justice, no unity without consequences for the insurrectionists.

[Amy Siskind @Amy_Siskind]

Folks in Georgia - please consider ways to get Raffensperger to certify the new Senators early. He can do so anytime between Jan 15-22. If he wants accountability for Trump, he could put Schumer in charge of the Senate and bring impeachment to the floor Jan 15.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

So let me get this straight: Republicans in Congress wanted to impeach Obama for passing the Affordable Care Act, but they don't want to impeach Trump for inciting an insurrection?

[Erin Brockovich @ErinBrockovich]

The President has not been silenced. He has a press room right in his house. He’s more than welcome to step up to the podium, speak and even take some questions.

He is not a victim

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Some people ask: Why would you impeach and convict a president who has only a few days left in office? The answer: Precedent. It must be made clear that no president, now or in the future, can lead an insurrection against the U.S. government.

[Elie Honig @eliehonig]

Impeachment is “divisive” only if there’s an actual *divide* about the President’s conduct. If you’re ok with what he did, stand up and say it. But don’t hide behind weasel words like “divisive.”

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Let’s be very clear.

The officials urging for no serious consequences after Wednesday’s attack on our country - including the impeachment, removal, expulsion, and/or indictment of officials who aided, abetted, or incited the attack - are opening the door for it to happen again.

@Twitter

[Sacha Baron Cohen @SachaBaronCohen]

Facebook just banned Trump!

Retweet and tell @Twitter and @jack--

Suspending Trump for a FEW HOURS for inciting a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol is NOT ENOUGH.

Stop letting Trump use Twitter to incite violence and undermine democracy!

#BanTrumpSaveDemocracy

[AltYellowstoneNatPar @AltYelloNatPark]

Maybe this point isn't being made clearly enough

36 hrs ago Capitol Police coordinated and cooperated with a failed coup attempt to take over the US government in which five people died.

They have not been disarmed, arrested, or even removed from the capitol grounds.

Nothing
