Apparently, thousands of Romanians have been waiting in their personal vehicles to pick up #refugees at one of the NE borders with #Ukraine. I'm not often elated at news from back home, but this makes my heart swell. #StandWithUkriane #standwithrefugees

Kyiv is under attack. Meanwhile, my cousin’s son managed to score the number of a cute girl in the neighborhood bomb shelter. Sums up our family very well. Glory to Ukraine.

An observation: In making the argument that the US would spend an entire war doing nothing but debate pronouns, certain parts of the right have spent this entire war doing nothing but talking about pronouns.

“All previous events, like the first time Putin invaded Ukraine, poisoned Navalny, shot Nemtsov, dismantled Memorial, criminalized dissent and drove real journalists out of the country were totally fine. I was happy to take money from Russian taxpayers as their lives got worse.”

These people should never work in media again. I don’t say “journalism” because that’s never what they did. Do not call them “reporters” or “journalists.” That’s never what they were. They were Putin’s propagandists. Do you want one working for you?

34 years and 40 days ago, Jim Hansen broke the news of global warming to the U.S. Senate. Finally, today, they act It's late, it's deeply compromised, and it's also a great victory for all who have fought so long and hard. Such thanks to all of you, and on to the next battles

Saying some obvious things out loud. A small 🧵 Cloaked as dispassionate analysis, much of post-election narrativizing is about coalitions within & between political parties jockeying for status. They are trying to claim victories & distance themselves from failure. Exhibit A.

One lesson: For all of its abundant problems, the Democratic Party in 2024 is still a party and not a cult of personality around one man.
