I couldn't fall asleep the night of Nov 7th because I was so upset at the election results. So I sat up in bed and wrote the following on another social media space. (There will be expletives.)🧵

Study of over twenty five million people over almost four years finds that COVID vaccines reduced COVID deaths by 74% and increased all-cause deaths by zero. I don’t know how much clearer it can get than that.

A judge's order to release him (and many others) was blocked by the 7th Circuit Appeals Court. ICE didn't provide food safe for a diabetic. Detainees report that he asked for medical assistance before he died and was ignored.

There was no reason for this man to die other than cruelty. Abolish ICE.

1. You can't even get hot food on SNAP, much less use it for nails or "weave". It doesn't work like a credit card. Items that do not qualify do not ring up.

2. Let's call a spade a spade. That right there was not a dog whistle. It is old school pure uncut Reagan era racism. What he said was RACIST.
ROB SCHMITT: People are using SNAP benefits to get their nails done, to get their weaves and their hair. This is a really ugly program.

SEN. RON JOHNSON: That program needs to be dramatically reformed.

It's Day 19 of the ICE occupation of MSP.

Today thousands of Minnesotans poured onto Lake Street to rally in support of our immigrant neighbors and against ICE.

Take a moment to look at this crowd of you and your neighbors rallying in below zero windchill.

the number one requirement for the next Dem president is that they are willing to look back

with a flamethrower
There's a series of things (like the ballroom, Gulf of America) that we're going to have to *undo* the moment this guy is out of office.
And yet I can already hear future Democrat presidents saying "I'm focused on the people's work, not the knucklehead stuff" and just leave this man's shit up.

I have spent about a week getting my ass kicked by an outline. Multiple drafts of multiple paths through the story, all hitting dead ends, or taking too long to get to the point. The job is to work through these until I find the one that works. A machine randomizing a hundred more options ain’t it.

If you give multiple interviews to Vanity Fair and don’t know whether or not you are on or off the record - then you are not qualified to be a chief of staff.

Not to be like “everything is gender” but here the feminized left is tasked with reforming and assuaging the masculinized right, like so many mothers blowing on boo boos.
These people want leftist and liberals to come back to Twitter so badly. They give all kinds of reasons, but the fact is without them the Nazi bar marinates in its own juices and they can't stand it.

Horrified by the terrorist attack at a Hanukkah celebration in Australia. My heart goes out to the victims, and their families and friends.

We must all vigorously condemn antisemitism and hate at every turn, and the perpetrators of these evil acts must be brought to justice.

Respectfully, Congresswoman, you voted with Republicans to strip due process from immigrants and to praise Trump's ICE. This year.

Now you're upset?

Votes have consequences. Minnesotans deserve better.
ICE agents followed a Burnsville family home from the store, failed to present a warrant and entered their home with guns drawn. They detained 4 legal citizens who presented documentation, leaving a 7 year-old without parents.

A seven-year-old. Let that sink in. Trump’s ICE is out of control.
