Moskowitz responds to comments made by Greene: I say this as someone whose grandparents escaped the holocaust… There’s no gas chambers in Ukraine. They’re not railing people in. They’re not trying to erase a people. Stop bringing up Nazis and Hitler. You want to talk about… pic.twitter.com/udnHk568eM

I don’t get it
Here’s what I remember: I couldn’t get a covid test because my fever was “only” 100 and the Trump administration required 101 in order to be eligible for a test (because they wanted to suppress the number of positive cases); I remember the constant wail of sirens in the background as network news covered the frightening death toll in NYC; I remember big cities had to use refrigerated trucks to store all the bodies; that the supply chain was so screwed up for so long, I had to do my Christmas shopping in September to get the gifts by Christmas; I remember people being out of work and desperate for food. I remember the crime rates soaring. I remember people blowing up ATMs; I heard the explosions almost every night.
I’m sure there’s more, that’s just off the top of my head.
What were these great times people remember? Who are these people?

Just plain crazy
Thanks to a decision by the Supreme Court today, it is no longer safe to organize a political protest in the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, or Texas.https://t.co/hOfdnk9Equ

I’m not surprised
In my experience, so many foundations are run by spineless ninnies:
Just amazing: One reason the Gerald Ford foundation declined to honor Liz Cheney was express fear of Trump retaliating against their tax status if he wins, per letter @dlippman obtained. That's the Trump/elite accommodation dynamic we discussed on the podhttps://t.co/DvPilrNAbN pic.twitter.com/f0OhyRPoaU

‘Novel’
NEW: Jack Smith has filed his brief with SCOTUS slamming Trump’s immunity claim as “novel,” “sweeping” and refuted by history.
Rightly so: the absolute immunity Trump seeks is something that belongs to dictators, not an American presidenthttps://t.co/8EDDHWfpcz pic.twitter.com/FMHgUWa4jU

Important @RWPUSA — please give a read, what national security professionals say about absolute immunity matters! And they say there is no such thing https://t.co/nB7mupvgIw

Drama queen
There’s a woke eclipse coming tomorrow (Monday) and Sarah Huckabee Sanders is having a meltdown by declaring a state of emergency in Arkansas!
This dire emergency remains in effect until Wednesday, cuz the #MAGACult will take all day Tuesday to recover 🙀https://t.co/bGylR7gwUB— BigBlueWaveUSA® 🇺🇸🌊🇺🇦 (@BigBlueWaveUSA) April 7, 2024
Dirty yes
2/"'Dirty yes' is a common phrase among WCK staff. It means saying yes to something even if there’s little confidence that it can be done safely and responsibly."
— Benjamin Fogel (@BA_Fogel) April 3, 2024
4/"Cihan Çinar, another former WCK contractor in Turkey who previously worked for the UN World Food Programme in similar situations, describes WCK’s smattering of armed personnel and daily updates about safety statistics as 'pseudo-security.'"
— Benjamin Fogel (@BA_Fogel) April 3, 2024
6/ "Three current employees on WCK’s relief team say the status quo hasn’t changed . . . They say they’ve lost trust in WCK’s leadership, including Andrés and Gore to impose real accountability or meet basic disaster relief safety standards."
