Very introverted & boring but curious person. The only us vs them I recognize is nice / asshat. I work daily at avoiding the latter, but admit to imperfections.

@SpeakerJohnson Freedom is messy, can be ugly, and ought not be impaired by you. Why can't Republicans stand for freedom anymore than Democrats? Politician = tyrant.

We cannot allow the lawlessness we’ve seen recently on college campuses.
Congress will take action to protect Jewish students and hold these pro-Hamas protestors accountable.

Teaching how to write a check! Lost art because everything is digital nowadays, but I still like tradition so we’re teaching it to the students!
English
@NewEmergingKing My great tante Frieda did not know how to cash or write a check when her husband Karl died. It broke my heart that we were more functional at 17 than she was at 70. Every bit of knowledge may be useful at some point in their lives. You are a blessing.

People who read Marxism are Communists.
People who understand Marxism are Anti-Communists.
Those college professors and students surely read a lot of Marxism without understanding it. So did this general👇

@SpeakerPelosi @TheAtlantic Explain why your party is so determined to tear them down from the inside and sacrifice the futures of children by mortgaging them to trillions in debt so you can maintain your grip on power - tyrant.

January 6th reminds us that our democratic institutions are only as strong as the courage and commitment of those entrusted with their care.
Three years later, the threat to our democracy is real, present, and urgent. Read my full op-ed in @TheAtlantic:

@HoraNoona If they are joined by freeze dried pearl onions it is a sign of the apocalypse (or desperate need to clean bottom of freezer, but what does my sister know?)

It seems that every time I open the bottom drawer of the freezer, there are escape peas.

The totalitarianism Olbermann wishes for will eventually silence him. But of course he does not know. That’s the problem with the Baizuo.

NEW: Keith Olbermann is calling on the United States government to ban X and end all contracts with Elon Musk. The unhinged liberal compared Elon Musk to the Pittsburgh synagogue shooter who killed 11 people. Olbermann also accused Donald Trump of “echoing the hate speech” of N*zis and H*tler. “It is time for the government of the United States to ban X the social media site, still largely known as Twitter.” “With his amplification of a post duplicating the hateful language of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooter with his doubling and tripling down on antisemitism and white supremacy.” “With the likely Republican nominee for President, echoing the hate speech of the N*zis and H*tler.” “Elon Musk has gone down a path of hate and potential violence from which he cannot backtrack. Either he goes or Twitter X must.” This man is insane.

@UNOCHA Tell Hamas to release hostages immediately. Turn over the terrorists who committed the rapes, murders, torture and idnapping of civilians. Tell them to stop harming their own people. Tell them to lay down their arms.
English
No place is safe in #Gaza today, nothing is sacred.
This abomination must stop.
The rules of war must be upheld.
English
@UNICEF Tell Hamas to release all hostages unconditionally immediately. Tell them to turn over all the dead hostages immediately. Tell them to turn over their terrorists immediately to face Israeli justice system for the rapes, torture, kidnapping, and murders they committed.

@jmasseypoet Loved it, but a 1982 accident which cut the tip of my middle finger & a trip to Uncle George who put stitches in telling me 'don't be a baby, it will be one stitch' ended that. It was 3 stitches & I make cranberies in a pot now. A little demerara sugar, orange peel, no blood.

Cranberry in a can, blob style, is the best and most respectable cranberry dish for Thanksgiving. Your cranberry chutneys and other culinary hijinks involving whole cranberries are inferior to canned blob cranberry. This is an official decree.

Schools are #NotATarget.
Hospitals are #NotATarget.
Children are #NotATarget.
Civilians are #NotATarget.
Humanitarians are #NotATarget.

@UN We need the hostages to be released immediately. We need the so called Palestinian cirizens who do not support Hamas to turn on their oppressors and turn them into the Israeli govt for prosecuction. We need the UN to nut the fuck up.
English
“We need an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. It’s been 30 days. Enough is enough. This must stop now.”
UN & civil society leaders call for more aid to be allowed into Gaza, the immediate release of hostages & respect for humanitarian & human rights law. news.un.org/en/story/2023/…
English
@antonioguterres Hamas is not listening to you. They have not returned the hostages unconditionally - do you think any surviving women are not being repeatedly raped? That people are not being tortured? You have a chance to take a better path than as excuser for the culture the bred the monster.
English
I am deeply concerned about clear violations of international humanitarian law that we are witnessing in the Middle East.
The protection of civilians must be paramount.
They are #NotATarget.
Nobody is above international humanitarian law.
English
@UN @antonioguterres The UN has lost its way and any moral authority it may have had has been turned over to the worst human rights offenders. Dissolve the body and go home. You are a pox on humanity.

“I am deeply concerned about clear violations of international humanitarian law that we are witnessing.”

@antonioguterres The way forward is clear:
Return all hostages unconditionally
Turn over all rapists and murders to Israeli authorities for prosection
NOW
English
The way forward is clear:
Humanitarian ceasefire.
Respect for int'l humanitarian law.
Unconditional release of hostages.
Protection of civilians, hospitals, UN facilities, shelters & schools.
Ending use of civilians as human shields.
More humanitarian aid entering Gaza.
NOW.

@SecBlinken @UNRWA You appear defeated, tired, weak. That is the very clear message from the current remarks you are making.
English
During my visit to Jordan, I spoke with @UNRWA staff in Gaza. I heard about the extraordinary lifesaving work they are doing in the face of extremely difficult conditions. We are working to expedite assistance to them so that they can get it to the Palestinian people.
English
@McFaul Great - now do the concentration camps Germany set up to exterminate Jews and other 'undesrirables' and relate it to the Hamas terrorist attack.
English
Not long ago, Japan invaded China. Some Americans said — not our problem. Italy invaded Ethiopia— again some said not our problem. Hitler invaded Poland. Some said again , not our problem. By 1941, these problems were much bigger. And we could no longer ignore them. Let’s learn from these mistakes.

@SecDef 20 months. 20 months! Where thehell did all the money go? The Russian army was shit. This should have been over. What are you hiding? Who got rich?
English
Nearly 20 months into Putin’s failed campaign of conquest, the Russian military has been badly weakened and Ukraine has inspired the world. But Putin has not yet stopped his aggression. Ukraine is still under attack, and must still defend itself.
