Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

🇺🇸 One more from here in cloudy, cold Madison, Wisconsin, right now. Thousands are marching as the sound of sirens signify the danger America finds herself in. 🇺🇸 Call your reps! Raise your voices. DO NOT SUBMIT

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

📌Three soldiers are dead tonight. Their Commander in Chief took no responsibility for it, and didn’t show a shred of empathy. He is a tiny man, a coward, completely unfit for duty, and an embarrassment to all of us who served. I spit on him.

I’m sad to learn that my law school classmate, Kiah Duggins, died in the DC plane crash last night. Kiah was an exceptionally talented civil rights lawyer and aspiring legal scholar. I hope you’ll read about her work and the causes she cared about, some of which I’ll 🧵 below. What an immense loss

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban. Today, I along with Rep. Gerry Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on Texas to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.

Auschwitz Memorial@auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Dear price of eggs Trump voters, Not only aren’t they any cheaper, there’s an actual shortage because of the raging Bird Flu we’re not getting any public information about because the food safety & public health agencies responsible for that shit have basically been shut down. Bravo.

There is only one reason Trump pulled the security off Pompeo and Bolton…to put them in danger for “crossing him.” To send a message to anyone else who would oppose. Both have active death threats from Iran. All to intimidate. This is the opposite of a real man of God. This is evil

An unqualified former Fox host, accused in an affidavit of being "abusive" toward his second wife, of being perpetually drunk, and allegedly screaming "Kill all Muslims! Kill all Muslims!" just got confirmed as the US Defense Secretary (!) by a tie-break vote in the Senate.

very excited to see what happens when you make a deeply compromised addict the leader of the department of defense and subordinate to a madman

Four years ago, officers of the law stood their ground to protect Members of Congress and staff as violent insurrectionists stormed the Capitol. These brave officers were beaten, crushed, bear sprayed, maced, and left to defend democracy with their bare hands.

I had suspected that Trump would pull back from some of this promises given his penchant for fomenting chaos. There are some categories of actions-eg reprisal prosecution of an innocent--that even 1 would be intolerable. But the Jan 6 pardons are maximalist and lay bare his authoritarian ambitions.
