She told ZERO lies.
Anyone who’s honest & paying ANY attention to the wall-to-wall coverage this particular war is getting will agree.
The comments from the folks covering it also tell the tale — THESE people being refugees is a tragedy.
For THEM there’s profound empathy.

War is hell. To fear for your life is hell. To be displaced is hell.
Where is the compassion for the Black and Brown people who have faced what the Ukrainian people are sadly now facing? ❤️
Joy told the truth.

This is the same question I have when a little white girl goes missing & all of God’s chil’ren rally to find her.
It becomes national news. NO ONE rests until she’s found & returned home.
Let a little black or brown girl go missing or be found dead.
Aaaand… #Crickets

Apologies to my fellow trainspotters but core uni duties (our first LAWS213 classes on admin law and judicial review) trump spectating today — so I’m dipping in-and-out of the hearing

I’ll try and catch up on events at the tea break. But the NZLS has finished and now the Solictor-General, Jagose QC, is on her feet leading the govt’s case.

What annoys me about socialists is they never don't seem to know what producing goods & services actually entails, and why markets are so clever. Imagine any bureaucracy deciding how much soy to grow, or power to produce, or routes to fly? Common sense tells you that's cra-cra.
Which is why Dem Socialism pretends to be something else, and only limits its influence to SOME markets with SOME regulation (as we really do now). But Rosies admit their real aim is true Socialism, where, presumably, markets would be heavily regulated (thus, unworkable).
But ask the average Twitter user espousing Socialism and they think "Medicare for All." That isn't socialism. That's a "socialized service" controlled by the govt for a specific social goal, but still uses free-market actors (doctors, vendors, etc).

Housekeeping: balance of argument about delegation ground, reply. and submissions on relief still to be completed.

If your leadership had been worth a single goddamn, @GovAbbott, you wouldn’t need to bankrupt our hospitals to save lives! Suspending elective surgeries without closing bars and restaurants!?! I’m LIVID. abc13.com/health/gov-gre…
Elective surgeries are the only moneymakers. Take them away, and hospitals operate in the red. #Texas medical professionals have already lost their jobs or had their pay cut. Why not allow elective surgeries that don’t require an overnight stay? This will be devastating.
And for a governor who pushes local control over all else, why don’t you get out of the way and let our local leaders make our choices. You have failed. Miserably. Step aside. Houston’s got this. @LinaHidalgoTX @HarrisCoJudge @SylvesterTurner @houmayor @AbbieKamin @RodneyEllis
Jane Sanders is one of her husband's top advisors. She bankrupted a college with a misguided land deal orchestrated by a local millionaire to protect the Catholic church. She funneled a million+ tuition monies to her daughter's and a trustee's son's biz's. Yet not 1 media report
Here is a link to the strange story of how Jane Sanders was given a green light by the Burlington College board of trustees to begin funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars to her daughter Carina's for-profit woodworking business and to a Trustee's son.
Here is how Jane Sanders worked with local businessman and multimillionaire Tony Pomerleau (police commissioner when Bernie was Mayor of Burlington) to secure a land deal that ultimately resulted in Burlington College's bankruptcy.

One hour before @andrehenry tweeted his revealing thread about .@RELEVANT’s unethical white patriarchal work culture I wrapped a recording session for RELEVANT’s new podcast. When other employees shared their stories I knew I could no longer lend my name to this platform. 1/
Over the last two months we have waited to see if @RELEVANT was as committed to re-forming the organization as it claimed to be in initial statements. #crickets 2/
Here’s the thing @RELEVANT : This will not go away. I waited to see what you would do before speaking. You had luxury of your choice of expert consultants to choose from. You were offered the opportunity to come together for a listening session with the aggrieved. 3/
I honestly don't know what is wrong with my fellow liberals. This country is being destroyed by ONE THING: @FoxNews
Yet you all go about your day speaking about almost anything else. It's like whining about a paper cut when there's a harpoon in your chest. WTF, people?

Senate confirmed Brian Benczkowski.
Someone with big ties to Putin, and virtually zero courtroom experience is now the next in line to replace Rosenstein at Justice.
How much further, America? Why are we letting the GOP pretend this is normal?
IS EVERYONE IN AMERICA INSANE?

What is more preposterous? That this is happening, or that the @NYtimes, @washingtonpost @CNN keep putting up apologists and stooges to make everyone feel this is just Democracy at work.
ONLY A TOTAL FOOL COULD NOT SEE THE MULTIPLE LEVELS OF CORRUPTION AT PLAY HERE.

@nytimes @washingtonpost @CNN Your country is literally being ripped out from under you, and you have no choice but to just watch it happen, because someone has to act fast, but no one knows what that means.
And the enemy knows it. So keep watching. We are all but certain to lose it all.
