Please don't abandon or throw in the trash or dump your dog at a shelter this week.
You have a world of relationships and activities other than your dog.
But to your dog, *you* are the entire world. S/he lives to love you and be with you.

Australia banned assault weapons after a mass shooting. New Zealand banned assault weapons after a mass shooting. The UK banned assault weapons after a mass shooting. Guess what? No mass shootings in those countries any more.
@KyivIndependent
I don't get what "peace talks" would sound like.🙄
Russia: "Sorry we invaded you; our bad. We'll leave now."
Ukraine: "Fine. Don't do it again. Pls take all your crap w/you as you go. We'll send you a bill for the destruction & evacuation insurance."
What else is there to say?

@JoeBiden
Wasn't second-guessed by me (a middle-aged white woman) and millions of others. If you really paid attention to Joe Biden, and his relationship with POTUS44, you wouldn't have 2nd-guessed.
@PamKeithFL
Could we address her as Secretary of State Clinton, please? No one refers to trump or any other male politician or public servant by their first name (except to jeer). Ms. Clinton was a US Secretary of State. Let's address her accordingly.

@OurShallowState
What disheartens & worries me more than Trump is that his worshippers love it. The uglier & more vicious he gets, the more they cheer. They're poisoning us.
@ZTPetrizzo
If you don't mind doing a favor for the rest of the US (and the world), maybe the next time you "speak to" a "trucker" you could let them know from us, "F— off."

@MeltdownWRIF
Yes. My mother. She's sick and she doesn't why I cannot be there with her to keep her company.
I would wish this virus in its most severe, frightening form on one of trump's family but it's pointless b/c he genuinely would not care even if he pretended to.
@BillKristol
Sorry, no. As long as there's no violence and no invasion of his property, this peaceful protest in the street is letting him know how it feels to have strangers be intrusive into one's life.
A protest outside Kavanaugh's house. Some will tell you this is out of bounds. It is the opposite. Short of violence, all this is free speech and assembly and demanding accountability from a man who believes himself above accountability.
Not only was it never designed to protect black people, it's just the opposite: It was designed to hunt black people down, punish them for wanting to be free, and keep them enslaved. The system is working exactly as designed 250 years ago. 21st century requires a new system.
@DavidPepper
I was going to say... "What? The Blood River Battle? Um, I grew up in Washington DC, on the Potomac River, and I'm a history nerd, and I've NEVER HEARD Of the Blood River Battle."

@ReallyAmerican1
Nancy Mace (R-SC) also lied and claimed the debt ceiling was for future spending, not for paying for services already provided, so other than to call her out on that lie, no one should pay attention to a single word she says.
@SenWhitehouse
32 yrs ago, all of us who believed and supported Anita Hill repeatedly warned that this was the relentless arrogant corruption the US could expect from Clarence Thomas if he was seated on the SCOTUS bench.

@LincolnsBible
I think you're mistaken about his being one of the masterminds of Sept 11th... some guy was saying just the other day that "Nobody has gotten to the bottom of 9/11"— oh wait, that guy is an orange potus impersonator. My bad.

Brittany, I immediately retweeted several times your masterful comment on the Reidout: "I'm beginning to sound like James Baldwin here: Gentlemen, how much time do you want us to wait for your progress?" —Brittany Packnett Cunningham, understandably, righteously extremely angry

I'm sorry this evil is happening to you. There are many of us here in the US, and around the world, keeping all of you close in thought.❤️
@jimmykimmel
But notice how the Loving decision legalizing interracial marriage isn't in Thomas's list.
EVERYTHING Anita Hill accused Clarence Thomas of 30 years ago is true.
@adegrandpre
NOPE. Political = Repubs voting NO on stopping price gouging or better healthcare for poisoned veterans, just to call POTUS a failure & "own the libs."
Calling out Nazis & fascists, defining them, telling them "we see you"—that's a leader fighting back against a domestic abuser.

I can understand why she hates it, but it's an interesting example of cultural pressure dictating what you're required to conform to be at that age! The off-the-shoulder black with a string of pearls was standard senior photo dress for decades.
@ZMBennett
I loved the library as a kid, and know I was helped by many unsung librarians. Perhaps she inspired you to become a historian? I'm very sorry for your loss.
@atrupar
@donmoyn
I believe you and this is interesting... but I'm probably not the only one who's frustrated by the fact that some scholars have been warning about this for a very long time.
"Trump is part of a complex illicit network including individuals from Russia, Saudi Arabia, Israel, the UK, the US and more -- some of whom do not have loyalty to any particular country. Their loyalty is to themselves and their money."
@AdamKinzinger
Please stop conflating "faith" with morality. Reference to religion— any religion— has no place in our government. It is possible to be moral w/o being religious or expressing morality as faith. Public servants are required to be moral; no religion necessary.
EXACTLY. If you've never been trapped in an abusive relationship, this is new to you. But if you have, this so-called presidency is probably giving you PTSD. Because the lies, the gaslighting, the threats & intimidation—they're exactly what happens an abusive relationship.
Just as abusers isolate victims from their friends/family, Trump is isolating the United States from its allies.
Isolation feeds an abuser’s false narrative of “you have no friends/no one loves you like I do” and gives the abuser greater psychological control.
THIS. Not that aren't narcissists & sociopaths all over the world, but frankly, the breadth & normalization of those malignant, pathological mentalities are unique to the US. Our culture, from the very start, encourages and supports, even rewards, narcissism & sociopathy.
The main reason narcissists & sociopaths are so treatment refractory/resistant is because we live in a society that normalizes their behavior and labels it shrewd rather than recognizing it as the dangerous illness and public menace that it truly is. We elect it to public office.

@Imissbarack1
I wish Rep. Schiff had pulled out and repeated Ms. Moss's repeat of the threat "You should be glad it's 2020 and not 1920," b/c her mention of it went by so fast I'm not sure most ppl understood it was a reference to the epidemic of white ppl lynching black ppl 100 yrs ago.
@liz_churchill8
So if your mother had an unexpected complication (a blood clot that formed, broke off, & started moving toward her heart, say?) from her broken shoulder/arm, and required surgery, you're OK with none of the surgeons and medical team wearing masks while they operate on her?
@KellyScaletta
"Late-term abortion" is more accurately known as an "Emergency delivery." If the baby is viable outside the womb, even if tragically deformed w/birth defects or not likely to live long, the woman is delivering it, not aborting it. 💔 An excruciating event for the mother.
@MacFarlaneNews
@AndreaR9Md
OK, so if we go w/"It's like me inviting you to my house & then assaulting you there"... what does he call breaking windows, vandalizing offices, & smearing feces around? What host would be OK w/"invited guests" doing such things? Wouldn't a host be outraged by such rudeness?
@TomJChicago
Oh, I just got it: Melania is 5'10" & she's being a human cane here... took me a few minutes to work it out. He's certainly holding tight to both her & railing. His weight must contribute to his lack of balance, too. Wonder if he'll stop allowing these arrivals to be filmed?
100% agree. In fact, it would be classic Ted Cruz to take all the assistance offered, w/o a word of thanks, and still refuse it to any state needing help in the future.

It'll be a true pleasure to watch him shriek to his cult that the 3 SCOTUS justices he manipulated onto the court are fraudulent (true!) and should be removed.

In 2016, a study based on 28 Greenland sharks determined by radiocarbon dating of crystals within the lens of their eyes, that the oldest of the animals that they sampled had lived for 392±120 years and was consequently born between 1504 and 1744
Safety has nothing to do with overfunding police and mass incarceration. Black and brown people want to be safe, they don’t want to continue being profiled, abused, arrested, and incarcerated by the NYPD, which is all Eric Adams has to offer NYC. Don’t rank him
@olex_scherba
The last few days have given me the distinct impression that the world— especially those he attacks, of course— are fed up with being bullied by Putin.

Interesting that a white police officer could so entirely unconcerned about the depravity of this act, or any career consequences of it, as to post it on a worldwide video platform.
Cops are mocking the murder of a 16 y/o black girl on Tiktok
And yes Ma'Khia Bryant WAS MURDERED!
Shooting her 4 TIMES IN THE CHEST was NOT “JUSTIFIED FORCE”
DYLAN ROOF WAS GIVEN A BULLETPROOF VEST NOT BULLETS TO HIS CHEST. HE MURDERED 9 BLACK PEOPLE!

Both. I went to (public) high school a couple of miles away from the private school he went to; the boys there were notorious. He's the epitome of the worst of them.

The difficulty with this Achilles' Heel is that the same uneducated white people are also UNEDUCABLE, often by choice. They have no interest in learning, thinking critically, or evolving, so facts and truth do not change their minds.
@duty2warn
I think I've seen the statistic documenting that fully 35% of citizens at any given time in any given country PREFER an authoritarian government over a democracy, even if they're the among the disenfranchised in it. It's a

@TiffanyBond
Here's a thought. If a woman and her partner "don't think ahead" and she has to live with the consequences of an unwanted pregnancy, then her partner does too, and is castrated to prevent him from any further impregnating.
@TomJChicago
I've been reading through your tweets and website. Thank you for the effort in putting it all into laymen's words. I so wish I had known about this, known more, understood more, when my mother started to disintegrate years ago. It would have been so helpful at a bewildering time.
@Xenta777
😭
I know it's not much, but please tell Thomas that when the Russian propagandist started speaking at this international conference, everyone else got up and left the room.
Russia is isolated. Completely. Irreversibly.
During today’ OSCE PC meeting, when Russian propagandist (they still call them ‘diplomats’ to gain some credibility) started reading his statement, the mtg room was emptied immediately.
Everyone stands with Ukraine!

@HeidiLiFeldman
It's not at all difficult for nonlawyers to understand how corrupt and ludicrous Cannon's rulings & arguments are. This is what happens when an organized crime bosses (McConnell as well as trump) conspire to fill the judiciary with unqualified, corrupt judges.

I don't think anyone was saying the quarantine lockdowns were a great time to be thankful for. (The isolation certainly contributed to my dementia-ravaged mother's death.) It was just an observation on how handwashing and maskwearing are clearly fantastic illness-reducers.
@DrGJackBrown
TBH, I don't think cowardice is one of the things they're covering up; bizarrely enough—considering the 5-alarm problem of "masculine toxicity"—they "admitted" cowardice already. But if they're willing to be called cowards, whatever they're covering up must be really, really bad.
@NoahBookbinder
Don't dress it up with loftiness such as "it's hard to see this as..." Speak plainly: Trump is aggressively pushing the Fed to lower interest rates to zero because he has at least $340 million in variable-rate loans and a 0% interest rate would save HIM millions of $$ a year.
@tribelaw
Making clear again that this has nothing to do with "saving lives." It's pure raging misogyny: controlling women & punishing them for having sex but failing to or choosing not to procreate. Nothing "medieval" here; it's much more recent than that in the US.
