The Brown school shooting/MIT physics professor murder is echoing powerfully with me.
A thread 🧵
Let me start by saying we don't know anything about the murderer's motives and they may remain shrouded given his self-inflicted demise.
I do not want to speculate.

Republicans aren't going to be able to avoid accountability for the massive health premium increases that are coming. Some people in Connecticut are getting a $25,000 increase. What Republicans have done is immoral - it's going to get people killed.

A reminder: a solid majority of people really like these and approve of a competently-managed year-round program. The current policy stance of the city is “we’re intentionally making it economically impossible because some people claim they saw a dirty shed once”
Thousands of outdoor dining areas might not return to the city's roadways next spring, the result of what activists call a costly approval process created by the Adams administration when the program became seasonal.
Outdoor Dining Has Faded Out — And Not Just Because It's Winter - Streetsblog New York City
From thousands of pandemic-era eateries to perhaps just a few hundred, thanks to a seasonal, not year-round, program.

Every Democrat in Congress should put out a video saying troops have an obligation to refuse unlawful orders. Make them prosecute all of you. This isn't a close call.

Trump: AOC is low IQ. If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard…

This is key. Trump's reported message to Ukraine to accept Ru's conditions or "be destroyed" is hollow. Ru isn't winning and can't compel its conditions militarily. Bravado doesn't win wars.
Zelensky:
We are not losing this war and Putin is not winning.
His army is in a weak position now.
They could occupy 1% of our land, but they spent 1.3 million people.
