Pushkin Square, maybe less than 1000 meters from Red Square and the Kremlin, is the cite of a significant protest. These people know the risks of challenging the regime. They’re on the street in-spite of major personal costs.

We are recommending a pause in the use of vehicles out of an abundance of caution. Risk of dying from cars is 10,000x higher than any rare treatable blood clots from J&J. Sitting & driving long distances (like for vaccine) is a risk factor of blood clots in the normal population.

As of 4/13, 230m+ are US drivers. CDC and DOT are reviewing data involving 42,060 reported US cases of a common & severe type of death in individuals involved in traffic. Right now, these events appear to be extremely common with 1 in 106 chance of dying in traffic collisions.
As of 4/12, 6.8m+ doses of the J&J vaccine have been administered in the U.S. CDC & FDA are reviewing data involving 6 reported U.S. cases of a rare & severe type of blood clot in individuals after receiving the vaccine. Right now, these adverse events appear to be extremely rare

My family received another letter in the mail today, this time disguised as a Passover card. Sharing this out again. Love trumps hate folks, it’s not hard to be a kind person ❤️ https://t.co/XBvp9VvLO3

More than a month after the Capitol riot, my family experienced the same kind of vitriol shown that day — but, quite literally, on our doorstep.

This may surprise friends but I'm a strong anti-oxer. The real science says these "free radicals" and their Big Oxidation funders have been killing us bit by bit for centuries and they just can't keep getting away with it!

2 weeks ago my family got what we thought was a valentine in the mail. It turned out to be anti-Semitic propaganda. For @thisisinsider I wrote about the letter and my fear that the hate speech that proliferated during Trump's presidency is here to stay https://t.co/XBvp9VvLO3

For my non-Texans, it’s hard to convey how f’d our state is. It’s barely broken freezing since Sunday. Half of Austin has been almost entirely w/out heat or power for 2.5 days. Water pressure is dropping and there’s a boil notice but half the city has no power to boil. Thread🧵⤵️

The reason the founders gave Senators six year terms is to give them some measure of relief from short term political pressures. In other words, to do the right thing in the next 48 hours.
