« À l’heure actuelle, la #russie lance une nouvelle attaque de missiles contre les villes endormies d’Ukraine. »
« Je faisais un cauchemar dans lequel un missile frappait ma maison, et quand je me suis réveillée, j'ai lu que les 1ers missiles pénètraient actuellement l'espace aérien ukrainien depuis l'oblast de #Kharkiv. Il m'est difficile d'exprimer ce que je ressens, mais je doute de pouvoir dormir davantage cette nuit. »

#RealityWinner is a HERO. She went to jail for you and me - so that we Americans would KNOW how tRump had been installed into the White House rather than fairly elected.

Why has Joe Biden failed to #PardonReality? She is still prevented from travel outside of Texas & has a nightly curfew.

#RealityWinner should be celebrated and decorated. #PardonReality and give her a medal

It’s not just abortion and it’s not just contraception. It’s every therapy related to reproduction that (in their view) MUST conform to religious dogma that has been extant since forever. These prohibitions include LGBTQIA families and equality.

RELIGION MUST NOT WRITE OUR LAWS!

After cutting $800,000 from #WVU libraries, Gordon Gee says that he will "continue to evaluate other areas of the university to maximize efficiency."

I've got a suggestion. How much does Gordon Gee make as chancellor? I kid you not. He makes $800,000 per year.

Ken Paxton, fresh as a rotting daisy post acquittal, appeared on Steve Bannon's 'podcast' to brag he "stopped 2.5 Mail in Ballots".

Downplaying the seriousness of COVID makes people think that it isn’t important to get vaccinated. The “everything’s fine” messaging of the White House left a gap for conspiracy theorists and anti-vaxxers to exploit and grow their power.

#republicans created this faux patriot, probably insurrectionist is a stain on #Congress. But, it's what #Alabama wants. They must absolutely #hate the #military to keep this man in office.

Update: Alabama has filed its replies in the redistricting stay requests at #SCOTUS, so the briefing is now completed. A decision could come at any time.
