Receiving much pushback for calling out #GenMilley's @thejointstaff comment on Ukraine as 'landlocked'.

Critics argue that 🇷🇺 control over the #BlackSea renders 🇺🇦 effectively landlocked.

However, even a broad interpretation of 'landlocked' is flawed. Here's a 🧵why:
Claiming UKR is landlocked militarily requires overlooking Crimea's significance to Putin. It's key in controlling access to the crucial Caspian Sea, Don-Volga Canal, and a major portion of Russia's extensive inland waterway system. #Ukraine #MilitaryPerspective
In 2021, Putin emphasized the waterway's importance, pledging billions for development to connect the Black Sea and the Baltic.

I forgot, my husband's band covered this too, it was a 3rd set closer to make you take your drunken ass home so the band could pack up and go home too.

Here's one version of his band playing at an aforementioned dive bar in Mississippi, Murky Waters. The band broke up and reformed so much over 35 years I forget which version this was.
Bands are musical chairs IMHO
#Mississippi Image
After he retired in 2016 he played more gigs and I started doing the lights because one of the bass players quit and took his lights. I bought a bunch on Amazon and the band was pretty tolerant of my learning curve with the fogger. At a Halloween gig, I dressed them. Image

Lady kept bumping man with her cart repeatedly and then this happened.
The system is working as it was designed to work. Cut his head off? Nothing to see here. Pickup trucks full of Klansmen? Nothing to see here.
A Black man was ‘decapitated’ after saying he was being chased by white men. Why do police say no foul play? ow.ly/qL7S30sut7h
Three truckloads of Klansmen chasing one black man in #Mississippi cut his head off. #Mississippi PD say meh. Image

I was raped when I was 9 and 10 years old by my psychiatrist. I told my mother what he was doing to me and all she did was take me away from his office and put me in another one with a different doctor.
I seriously think that my mother knew what the psychiatrist was doing to me.
My psychiatrist was in Greenville Mississippi. He was raping me from 1983 to 1984 and I was only 9 years old going on 10.
He would drug me up with some kind of drug he made me drink in a liquid form before he started his rape session with me.
One time I came out of my drug induced stupor and saw Eggleston standing near the doorway I'm assuming he came through. He stood next to my psychiatrist and they were both staring looking straight ahead at me. Eggleston had on glasses but my psychiatrist didn't have on glasses.

2022 #Midterms Simulation: #ArtoftheGerrymander

A Republican House win will be built on gerrymanders (TX/GA/FL/TN/LA, etc.)

To illustrate the need for fair maps, I'm calculating the results using the 2022 votes, but if every state had a Democratic gerrymander. #ElectionTwitter ImageImageImageImage
Methodology:

I’ll apply the difference in Presidential margin to the House result. Thanks @davesredist @mikemathieu @vest_team + @DKElections @PoliticsWolf

Keen to see how my maps perform over the decade; tried to comply with state law if partisan intent were allowed to stand.
#ArtoftheGerrymander: #Alabama
Trump 62.0% - Biden 36.6%
Real delegation: 6R-1D
Gerrymandered: 5R-2D
Δ Share of D seats: 14% => 28%
Easy Democratic pick-up of a safe new African American seat.

@RVAwonk On the other hand, European democracies regulate abortion through the political process, with deadlines of 12, 15 weeks, similar to the #Mississippi statute now under review by the Supreme Court.

Has @TheLancet complained about that?

@RVAwonk @TheLancet In 1998, @TheLancet chose to publish the first supposedly peer reviewed article linking vaccines and autism.

Retracted in 2010.

#OTD in 1862 Newton Knight reenlisted in the Confederate Army after being on furlough. He originally enlisted in July of 1861. He deserted in October of 1862 and headed home after he received word the Confederate Army had taken his family's horses for the war effort.
There is much debate and mystery surrounding Knight, his actions during and after the war, and what motivated him. However, Knight's life provides insight into conflicting ideas of race, class, and politics in Mississippi and the South writ large during the Civil War.
Knight was a yeoman farmer in Jones County, Mississippi when the war broke out. According to historian @vikki_bynum, only 12% of the county's population was Black and most whites were subsistence farmers like Knight.
