if you don’t think what’s happening in the world will hurt you because you are rich, white, male, and/or old, then it’s time to think of others!

@tribelaw
Judge Kavanaugh is the most obviously “bought” justice I’ve ever seen. It’s amazing to watch really. I hope I live long enough to find out who bought him and for how much.
@UROCKlive1
@juliaioffe
Yep. And the entire discussion of “rules of engagement” and whether or not the actions are in fact “war crimes” misses the tragedy of all these innocent people dying for naught…. Heartbreaking…
@clhubes
Sorry, mine’s the best. We have five kids (all grown now) and we had a rule. If he wanted to run an errand, a haircut, trip to the hardware store or whatever, he always had to take at least three with him. Think about that, at least three LITTLE kids? What was I thinking?
@WalshFreedom
Which of AOC’s policies do most Americans not support? There is broad support for health care for all and abortion access. And broad support for regulation to fight climate change. Which ones are not popular?
@dlippman
Where does Kavanaugh find a right to eat dinner in peace in the Constitution? Is it near the right of privacy somewhere and I missed it perhaps??
@clhubes
Time to introduce tacos!! And quesadillas! And enchiladas. I raised five kids and we ate a lot of Mexican food and the kids all like it still and want to eat it when they come for a visit.
Finally getting around to reading this brilliantly researched and thought-out book. Should be required reading in high schools or colleges across our democracy. Before we lose that same democracy!

And if anyone asks why you are doing it, the Dems should say, “We are just following the rules of McConnell. We do it because we can. “
@JohnJHarwood
Even if you assume all of this, which I don’t, let’s look at Biden:
Right on how to fix unemployment
Right on how to fix inflation
Right on infrastructure
Right on climate
Right on our allies importance
Right on his cabinet choices
Right on Roe
I could go on….

Having fun on this rainy Sunday blocking all the obnoxious blue-check numbskulls who pay for Twitter and love to make comments to bring folks down. Better to elevate the voices you care about always my friend. But I can block you so I don’t have to see!

Yes!! Bring back repairing clothes!! When I was growing up, I would arrive at my grandma’s house for the weekend with a huge armload of clothes to repair. Together she and I would fix holes and sew on buttons, replace zippers and darn socks. Loved those weekends…

“I don’t want to bother voting...” “I tried voting and nothing changed…” “Both sides are corrupt…” “Biden is too old to do anything…” “Biden didn’t fix [fill in with one of many pet projects] so I’m not voting for him again…” “We need to overthrow capitalism before I vote…”
And he won’t contest if it’s a huge victory??
@HouseDemocrats
and
@SpeakerPelosi
this is so short sighted! You must start impeachment hearings now! It is not optional! As
@sarahkendzior
says. This is your Constitutional duty!
@Blackamazon
And if you do, do not let them get away with BS. Ask them tough questions. Ask them what to do with ectopic pregnancies for instance. Or for incest. Make them uncomfortable! Don’t f***ing ask them “what did you think when you first heard?”!!’
@CheriJacobus
My father at about the same time. He never became famous or rich. But he was a decent loving guy who could fix anything and always saw the good in people.
@axios
Half of them still have a favorable view of capitalism??? As they look at our country today and the raging inequality?? At the lack of opportunity? At the planet dying? We all need to work harder, friends!
@highbrow_nobrow
Therefore organ donation is mandatory correct? It would save lives. In fact we should haul healthy folks off the streets and take a kidney to save a life, right?
@moorehn
@sfrantzman
Totally agree. How many women go to games who aren’t thrilled about it, just to support a husband? But boy this woman had incredible privilege to feel she could just throw away theater tickets…
@JolentaG
Yes!! Part of the reason I mask inside stores is because when I look around so many workers are masked. (And excuse me, asking “should I put on a mask?” is not the same. It shouldn’t be the responsibility of the vulnerable to ask folks to mask.)
@keith_campion
And the best, most experienced teachers are usually really good at changing things up a little on their feet. When they see somethings not quite working, they move around and adjust. And they check in with every student as often as possible. Making eye contact, etc..
@tribelaw
Most of them walked in with their eyes wide open! They wanted what he offered: Supreme Court picks and lower taxes for businesses. And they wanted him to “own the libs” and they gleefully watched him do it. They deserve no exit ramp!
@emrazz
The other thing that happens is people fuss over a dad who does the minimal, taking kids to a park or something, “What a good dad!” Dads are also benefiting from misogyny.
Get off your couch and vote, PA! The guy trying to buy our state Supreme Court wants to privatize schools, selling the pieces to the highest bidder. We must stop him. Vote Dan McCaffery for state Supreme Court. Read this excellent article for more details. ⬇️
It can feel hopeless to fight the corruption of Clarence Thomas, his billionaire pals. But here in Pa. you can take a stand
The state's richest man is spending $4.4 million to buy a judge on the Pa. Supreme Court. Unless you vote to stop him
My column⬇️
The media needs to camp outside of Mitch's home. We need answers. When is he going to call the Senate back to pass the House bill on background checks? If the media fails to do this, they'll be as big of a failure as Mitch is.
@docrocktex26
Actually parents do get a big say over what is taught—they elect the school board. If you don’t like your school board run for office. But the school board has to decide what’s best for ALL students, not just the ones with noisy parents.

Amid the DC chaos, stay focused on the battle for democracy where you have the most control.
This week, that focus led to pivotal wins in NH & Pennsylvania!

Actually no. Did you read the article? If we were really concerned about sex trafficking ENTIRELY IN MEXICO, we would open our borders to MORE NOT FEWER asylum seekers!!
@DaviSense
@sasswashere
Exactly! My question is “what are they ahead on?” The lucky ones gained resilience and time with family. They learned how to bake and help out at home. They read the newspaper and thought about the world. These are great skills also. And this comes from an algebra teacher.
@docrocktex26
I’ve had so many arguments about Reagan over the years. He screwed up the country in so many tangible ways. The AIDS epidemic he made worse. Race relations. On a smaller scale, the user taxes that now price poor people out of a trip over a bridge or to a national park.
@JohnPerkins33
@docrocktex26
“Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry you’re sick. Is there anything I can do to help?” We are caring people who help others and we don’t want anyone to die. If we drop off groceries, etc., we also keep them and their families at home. This isn’t hard.
@dieworkwear
Those are ones I cut in half and use for rags. Or use instead of paper towels and just throw after cleaning up cat barf or something equally lovely…
@adgirlMM
Same with me and Elizabeth Warren. But I came around and volunteered on Biden’s campaign to defeat the fascist Trump. And now I’ve moved to a swing state (from a blue one) to do more. Will do everything I can to keep this country for my kids and grandkids!
@WalshFreedom
We also don’t have all the information as we should not. Maybe there is a reason based on Hunter’s relationship with the mom that we are not privy to.
I’m a mother of six, and a Mormon. I have a good understanding of arguments surrounding abortion, religious and otherwise. I've been listening to men grandstand about women's reproductive rights, and I'm convinced men actually have zero interest in stopping abortion. Here's why…

I’m all in for
@ewarren
. She can energize young progressives and speak to older folks both. She is smart and ready to serve. She has a team ready to go to help them get elected. She has a vision on how to change this country to make it work for all. Trump fears her. ‘Nuf said?
@the_transit_guy
It’s also happened to home design. Have you looked at real estate lately? Everything is grey. Even the wood floors are stained grey… it’s ghastly.
@adTumbler
@thejackhopkins
With all due respect, the way we got here is from the push by the rich and powerful to distract us all with culture-war issues. Income inequality has grown so much that just a handful of folks own 90% of the wealth. Being kind to each other will not fix that.
@msunitedam
@IlhanMN
Ukraine has achievable goals: move the Russians out of Ukraine, and keep the Russians from invading a NATO country. If Putin invaded a NATO country, the United States would have to fight.
@thejackhopkins
I’ve been doing this too. I asked a young waitress recently what the buzz was with her friends and she said, “They’re all voting for Biden. Too worried about choice and everything else. No one is voting for Trump.”
YES!! The Republicans have been working with Russia! DO WE CARE? Does our media? Thanks,
@brianbeutler
for correctly naming this. Where are you
@washingtonpost
and
@nytimes
and all the others?
I can’t believe we’re here again: Republicans caught dead to rights in an insane corruption scandal with most Dems are content to move on and most media, thus, uninterested in chasing the story.
Two of my favorite twitter follows currently:
@JoshuaPotash
to keep me informed and focused on what matters, and
@JasonOverstreet
to also keep me focused but to give me a bit of hope now and then too. Recommend them both! (I wonder if they follow each other?)

@WalshFreedom
I agree
@WalshFreedom
that the timing of these comments is terrible. However I also agree with you that it is honest. Israel is an apartheid state. That’s one of the factors that led us here. And I agree with
@CoriBush
that right now we must focus on saving lives.

I’ve got an idea: why doesn’t the Israeli army help the patients and doctors vacate the hospital? Move all the patients to safety at another hospital. Then they will be able to clear the tunnels they keep talking about without hurting any civilians.
@WalshFreedom
Why? Serious question. Why do you love Israel? What do they do that you appreciate or approve of or would like to see more of in the world? Why Israel and not Finland? Or Canada? Or Japan? Why Israel?

This is a shockingly irresponsible article burying his statement, “after four years you won’t have to vote anymore,” in the 15th paragraph. Shame on you,

My son says he finds reading troll accounts of the right humorous but reading the left is soul-crushing. Progressives tell the story of the America that could be and it’s so sad we just can’t get there. Doing the things outlined would so clearly make the world better!
@MalcolmNance
Yes. And it’s terrible. Shocking and unspeakably sad. Does not mean we should not care about dead and wounded Palestinians. We must not lose our humanity!
@WalshFreedom
All of folks’ comments below are showing me that her policies are mostly supported (with a few exceptions). But many people don’t like her. I wonder if this could have anything to do with the kind of media coverage she gets…. We need to get back to evaluating POLICIES friends.
@davidfrum
Journalists need to say the following: “do you know who you are with and you aren’t telling me? Or do you not know?” And then photograph all, one by one, conspicuously, and put all these pics online. Someone knows who they work for!

Yes but women have reported that doctors have been unwilling to treat them because of the laws. Did you see the women testify before Congress about the laws in Texas?
Do y’all wanna win Michigan and Wisconsin? Then wake your asses up and stop playing games. We lost them in 2016. Elizabeth Warren needs to be the vice presidential pick.👇🏽
@MarkAugustGuy
@piper4missouri
Some questions:
1. Do they accept all kids?
2. Who decides “superior?”
3. Do they accept kids with disabilities?
4. Do they just pull top kids from schools and leave other kids to languish?
5. Do they have religious leanings?
Etc.
I’m skeptical that it can work…
@JasonOverstreet
I’m sending my daughter there to work full-time. Anybody have somewhere that she can stay? She’s a great 19-year-old kid who just got off working for the Biden Harris campaign.

Yep. Exactly. I’m in Spain. The train from Madrid to Barcelona goes 189 miles per hour. It’s amazing. Why can’t we have nice things in the US???

@BretStephensNYT
needs to understand his impact. When he calls people “illegal” who come over the border now and compare them to “legal” immigrants like one’s relatives, he misses an opportunity to use history as a place of understanding. WE HAD OPEN BORDERS UNTIL 1924!
Spent the first night of Passover at the student seder in the Gaza solidarity encampment at Columbia.
The Jewish flank of the Palestine solidarity movement is growing and it is so beautiful to behold.
Judge for yourself how unsafe these Jewish students look.

@atrupar
@micheinnz
Yes! Exactly. Most folks wish there was an easier way but there isn’t. We must educate youth that this is the only way too. So many of them are disillusioned. “We tried voting last time… ” “Both parties are corrupt…” But we have to do it all again and drive MASSIVE turnout!
@LisaBloom
They won! Can’t they be gracious winners and listen empathetically to the losers now? Why is it our responsibility to listen? We are losing environmental protections, the Supreme Court, protections for undocumented, protections for workers, teachers, etc.

Many of the states have the money (look at PA for instance) but they are SPECIFICALLY starving the schools. When will we all realize that they want to ruin public education? That’s the whole idea!
