@MaryLTrump
NZ being an island helps. But we have Covid here and it could be ripping through our communities. But it isn't....because it's being well-managed. The govt understands that keeping our economy afloat depends upon public health. Most Kiwis understand that.
And no Fox News here.

@trumpwinery
Lara is nervous because Lara is under investigation. So Lara is day drinking whatever she can find in the cupboard and lighting candles to create an illusion of calm and tranquility.
Interestingly, children have an uncanny way of picking up on the real atmosphere.
@AngryBlackLady
I'm from New Zealand and we're on day 3 of a nationwide lockdown. I have my family with me but it's impossible not to feel a sense of dread. We are blessed to have real leadership in Jacinda. Thinking of you in the U.S & hoping that incompetent monster is removed from power. ❤
I genuinely appreciate the reality check many are providing here. I know W was awful and it's helpful to be reminded of the ways. I suppose a naive part of me thought that the torching of the Constitution and a full blown fascist takeover might be a bridge too far.
Maybe not.
@WDCreports
You'd do the same for us. I have watched from New Zealand today with happy, relieved tears for our American friends. Empathy, honesty, integrity and compassion have been absent in American leadership for these past awful four years. It returned today in spades.
Much ❤ from NZ
@elizaorlins
I had an abortion at 22. A doctor had said, "Well, it's not like you're too young to have a child." I had the abortion. Not to would have altered my life irreparably.
And I had an ectopic pregnancy that I would have died from without emergency surgery.
I am so, so angry.
@RoArquette
I live on the other side of the world and am infuriated watching these events unfold. There are many of us worldwide who will stand up in solidarity for our American sisters' right to choose. Just tell us how we can help in this fight and we'll do it. ❤🙋♀️
This is a key moment. Joe Biden, speaking to the grueling emotional challenges that social distancing imposes on all of us, while also stressing that it's something we all must endure, fore the sake of the public good:
@LibertyLayne01
I hate all of the songs that ooze misogyny. Lyrics such as....
"Take a look at my girlfriend, she's the only one I've got. Not much of a girlfriend, I never seem to get a lot."
"Well she was just seventeen..(if you know what I mean) *winks. Matt Gaetz probably loves that one.
@CGRIFFINREPOFF
Interestingly, it is possible to hold different views and even to be pissed off about the differences and the past, and yet still be sensible enough to recognize a common threat....in this case fascism....and to decide like adults with a shared belief in democracy to reject it.
@BMeiselas
Just listening to the Rick Wilson interview again now from New Zealand. He needs to come back. He has a way of conveying the urgency of the moment that we need to keep hearing.
Love listening to you guys.
@SuperMachoMenos
I don't think anyone is relying on that to win. I think most people want to see good and decent people, regardless of party affiliation, standing up for what's right.
@MeidasTouch
New Zealander here who is doing her best to keep up but affected by time differences. This news is frigging fantastic!
Can anyone tell me whether Bobo is going back to clown school? I am seeing so many contradictory tweets and I need to know so I can sleep tonight! 😆
@TheRyanHamilton
You should never have been asked to prove or justify any of this traumatic experience. But thank you to you and your wife for courageously sharing your story in the hope of bringing attention to these archaic laws.
Everyone needs to repost this.
Healing and hope to you both ❤
@ECMcLaughlin
Yes. My gorgeous mother in law met her soul mate in her mid 60s. They spent 13 beautiful years together, spending lots of time in Europe on their canal boat. He recently passed away from a sudden cancer diagnosis but she is so happy to have had their time together ❤
@cbouzy
Judging by the Secret Service's talent for 'erasing' incriminating evidence, the decision to not get into a car with these people was a good one.
@davidhogg111
You are an absolute legend. I live on the other side of the world and I am rooting for this renewed movement for change. As you've said, this time is different.
No more. ✊❤
@SethAbramson
This is the narrative Republicans hoped media would focus on.
I don't care about the leak. I care about the looming evisceration of women's rights and the catastrophic consequences that are inevitable.
I wish we could focus on what matters.

Yes. I just couldn't watch it. I wanted to get through the day without yelling obscenities at the screen. I feel better for my ostrich approach today.
@JoyceWhiteVance
@AriBerman
Joyce, I live in New Zealand and seeing one party deliberately disrupt voting is just unfathomable in my country. How on earth is this allowed to happen in a democracy? Where are the non partisan organisations enforcing voting protocol?
@JoJoFromJerz
Yes. So mad.
I'm a New Zealander.
I don't worry about politics here like I do for my American friends.
We don't have Murdoch media.
Our political parties don't oppose eachother just for points. In times like this, they are able to agree to help us.
I'm furious for all Americans.
@SteveSchmidtSES
@DanaBashCNN
I don't understand how this is excellent journalism. Sure, she asked him the question but then appeared to accept the answers like they were perfectly reasonable.
Ask.."What is your knowledge of how pregnancy affects a 13 year old body? To hold that opinion you must know that?"
@morningmika
I'm watching from New Zealand every day in horror. I cannot understand for the life of me how the American system does not have the ability to remove someone so incompetent and demonstrably corrupt from power. This is beyond insane.
@staceyabrams
@owl_jeff
I'm not from the US and am continually dumbfounded at such blatant attempts to prevent people from voting. That these types of bills can be considered at all let alone signed into law reflects a broken system. This should not need to be the focus at every election cycle. Madness.

@thorpe_schuyler
Saying you have women's backs and then insulting one of them and telling them they speak nonsense isn't really the stuff of allyship. Might be worth thinking about.
@ECMcLaughlin
I'm from New Zealand. If a video like that was released here, it would dominate the national news, an enquiry would commence swiftly and heads would roll. The public would insist upon it.
It's always obvious when other people write his rants.
No way in hell he knows the meaning of skullduggery, rampant, depravity, devolve or unscrupulous...let alone how to spell them.
It's just laughable at this point.
@SenatorSinema
And for elected officials who aren't paid off by corporations to work against the interests of the people they're supposed to represent.
So... not you.
I like Jen Psaki but she has James Carville and Neil Katyal gravely stating they are deeply worried about what's coming and it feels like she's trying to lighten the mood. Like a Mum who's trying to distract a child from their grazed knee.
This lack of alarm is baffling.
@ZalinskyS

@fred_guttenberg
Is the progressive frame the 'leaving abusive relationships' frame? Because that's what he was criticizing. Saying that it's better for the kids if their parents stay married even in the presence of violence. No extrapolating necessary.
@MuellerSheWrote
Is it just me or does NYT's publicizing of this prosecutor's name put him in harm's way?
I'm as eager as anyone to hear that the wheels of justice are finally turning but it makes more sense to me that these people's names be protected right now.
@RobertH59873382
@Beno_ldn
What behaviour? For fcks sake.
The notoriously awful British media decided she didn't 'fit' and all the weird royalists bought into the narratives they spun.
So pleased they got the hell away from it.
@AmoneyResists
Schiff's emotion was evident when the witnesses spoke about upholding their allegiance to their oaths in the face of great pressure and threats to their safety.
He is the definition of a patriot.
The Angry Orange Man and the Nasty, Mean Concession 😡📖
The angry orange man was meant to do a concession, but he did not want to do a concession, because they are very, very bad. They are mean.
A concession means you are a loser, and the angry orange man is NOT A LOSER.
The Angry Orange Man and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Coup...
An angry orange man story.
(Not to be told to small children for fear of scaring them...)
Trump is doing everything possible to foul up storm relief efforts because he wants to try and make Democrats look bad...so he can win.
Donald Trump always has been, and always will be, committed to threatening the loss of life to American citizens for his personal gain.
@Amy_Siskind
There seem to be two distinct camps of anti-vaxers. Those who are genuinely afraid and have unwittingly fallen down rabbit holes of disinformation. They may be open to being shown scientific evidence that the vaccine will help.
And those who are anti-authority. Empathy = zero.
@SenatorWarnock
This is the Upside Down.
Crazed lunatics masquerading as politicians have manipulated a completely broken system to install their Christo-fascist agenda while the majority stares in disbelief.
If they won't concede when the majority rejects them at the ballot box, then what?
@briantylercohen
A New Zealander here, watching, and also feeling fucking furious. I wonder how much more enraged I would feel if I was an American.
We share your anger and loathing for all those who did this.
@amandacarpenter
Yes. And they wanted him to tell the mob to stop, because they knew the mob would listen as they were Trump supporters.
Yet the same day, on air, they were saying the crowd was full of Antifa and BLM supporters.
There is no bottom to which these people will not stoop.
@briantylercohen
@orangepeel18
I'm a woman, lucky enough to live in New Zealand where my reproductive rights are enshrined in law.
I am so angry for women and girls in Texas and across America. I didn't sleep last night.
@mmpadellan
We New Zealanders are pretty cool 😁
That's a lovely story and yes, a welcome reminder that although we live in scary times, good things are still happening around us.
Best wishes to you both ❤️
Lawrence O'Donnell gives the growing existential threat to women and girls the time, attention and emphasis it demands.
The calculated dismantling of the rights of more than half of the population is happening again and we MUST work together to stop it.
Thank you
@Lawrence

Trump doesn't know about Project25 or the people who wrote it in the same way that he didn't know:
Jeffrey Epstein
Stormy Daniels
E. Jean Carroll
Prince Andrew
Anthony Scaramucci
George Conway
Gordon Sondland
Paul Manafort
George Papadopoulos
Lev Parnas
He's a lying POS.
@Sen_JoeManchin

@USATODAY
We need a senator who is committed to upholding democratic principles and actually working for their constituents.
That is not Joe Manchin.
@AriMelber
Hoping you see all of this feedback.
Stop platforming and normalizing liars and election deniers when democracy is literally on the brink.
Do better. You know better.
The sitting president whose record of success continues to speak for itself must now prove himself every hour of every day.
His criminal, rapey, traitorous, lying, lecherous, laughing stock of an opponent is held to no standard whatsoever. He just golfs.
What the actual fck.
@lawofruby
The media needs to stop reporting these people's occupations, social media posts and any other details.
We know that the defendant threatens and intimidates, jurors, judges, their family members and anyone opposed to him. Fox News is now helping him with this.
Do better, MSM
@MaryLTrump
If I could edit my tweet, I'd add the words "so far". None of us really know if the situation will remain under control - Covid is an unpredictable beast.
I'm just grateful for our national response so far.
@ScottWalker
No, Scott. Your orange wannabe fascist goblin is laying the groundwork for another attempt at denying the will of the people. The American people remember. They care about democracy. They don't want a dictator.
But you know this. You're just so lost. And pathetic.
@RealChrisSays
I have to say, I feel exasperated hearing ______ is "on the ballot", all day long. Use language that emphasizes the danger of this moment.
"If you vote Republican, you are choosing to abandon democracy, relegate women to second class citizens and give your ss to billionaires".

There's no brainwashing. Of course being an ally doesn't mean blindly supporting everything but supporting women surely iinvolves listening to understand without flinging insults and disagreeing respectfully. Pretty simple.
