Month: 5 Elul 5781 (August 2021)

A child under 5 has died of COVID in Florida. Please wear a mask, especially if you’re not vaccinated. It’s a lot less inconvenient that going to a funeral. https://t.co/nIOax4iFEv

Every option in Afghanistan was bad.
I’m more critical of withdrawing than most, and think too many Americans see war as all or nothing, where it’s clear victory or totally pointless.
But we should recognize the choice was, at best, between bad & worse, not between great & awful.

I wish Gov. Abbott would declare a war on COVID instead of his fellow Texans. https://t.co/RmsQBBBvcQ

Pretending COVID isn’t a problem and getting mad at people who take it seriously doesn’t make the virus go away.
Mitigation measures are unpleasant—life was better without a pandemic—but mass quarantines and remote schooling are worse.
Wishful thinking is a terrible strategy. https://t.co/NxuNOAvfGE

Your bullshit boo-hoo sob story for a claque of traitor trash, insurrectionists, and violent scum moves no one. https://t.co/SSXbnwdpXM

The notion that the collapse of this 20-year American-led project is on anyone but us, this admin and the last, is insane.

America must not stand idly by as our Afghan friends are brutalized by the Taliban. For honor, for meaning of lives lost, and for simple humanity, the President must urgently rush to defend, rescue, and give and expand asylum. There is no time to spare.

Hey, MAGA: Trump isn’t being reinstated as President today. That was a lie, just like everything else these people feed you. Stop listening to them. Stop giving them a platform. You’re embarrassing yourself by association. Disown these folks—don’t fundraise with them.

It's super great that you want to #FreeBritney. I love the conversation. But I'm wondering whether you've also evaluated the ableism in your own spaces. You have very little control over what happens in her case. You have real control over what happens in the spaces you occupy.

Leaving Afghanistan may not have been the great idea we ALL thought it was - Trumpies, Dems...all of us.

Nobody wanted a "forever war", but it's increasingly looking like the lesser of two evils.

Forget past thinking. What's the right choice NOW? https://t.co/ppfhyeaZ7y
