Twitter stings, but now I say Twitter is like the whole world and if you don't live under a rock, it's like life. The good ones in your life keep you sane and steady. The other ones live to make your life miserable. On Twitter we keep the good and block the bad. In life do this.

@MayoIsSpicyy
There's one thing I just don't get.
Where did the number 6 come from?
Imagine a team sitting around discussing this topic. Do they speak from experience?
What happens if we own 7? How do they know we own 7? What kind of person makes a law like this? 7 guns ok. 7 dildos horrors.
@AdameMedia
YES! And they brought their children onto boats to watch an entire city light up. What was lighting it up were bombs killing Palestinians. They all applauded and cheered.
@djrothkopf
@thejackhopkins
As I read through your brick by brick, nail and floor, architectural blueprint for turning our nation into basically what it was intended to be before Americans forgot each one of us is a nail and block to keep it unshakable. We should read these like the pledge of allegiance!
@DASfxChicago
I'm past the freak-out stage. Found out in May.
Cried only once when I called my kids.
Then I popped back to my usual self, perky and positive, accepting new things like tired out of the blue and need to stop and lie down, which I've never done in my life! Then next day fine.
@SarahAshtonLV
Dearest Sarah
Please keep sending us these updates about Ukraine. The American television stations are not doing regular reports as they once did.
Thank you for this and for your bravery.
@Genie2ofBaghdad
When I asked people in other countries about universal healthcare systems, they always said the same thing. Yes, it is "common" care for one another, but they also said "Because the day's going to come when it's YOUR medical case. YOUR bank account and home that won't disappear."
@ZJAyres
Yes! Me: Sharp liver area pain? Just constipation. Uncontrollable blood pouring onto floor? It's nothing. I sought sonogram clinic. Needed surgeries: gall stones and huge fibroid. Whole left side numb? Just nerves. Mayo Clinic found TIAs.
Men are sent to ER for what we suffer.
So many followers fell into my lap. I wanted to say a few words to each, but after a half hour of attempt I think that's not possible. It is midnight. I will check again tomorrow and continue FBs.
What a wonderful experience. All by the kindness of one gentleman who made a list!

Sin of Pride is not taught these days.

Too many Church potentates have fallen from grace because they forgot all about them as they personify them.

Biden knows what he's doing. Decades in this business. Private life is private life. The White House grounds are not the possession of the WH press pool, no matter how much they see it that way. His granddaughter and groom had a say and their families.
High road, folks!
@sander1957
Sander, I just saw your tweet and your bio. I lived Netherlands from 1998 to 2016. I am ten years older than you, American citizen of the world. I love what you are doing, your Dutch heart and resolve to save the world. Much love to you.

Like most check-out people in Europe he is smiling also because he is sitting. They are relaxed and pleasant. No achey legs and back from standing for hours like in the US. Why do we make people stand all day?
@Shazaffatima
50 yrs ago This I was told. I ended up in hospital at year 3. I was unable to walk. He threw down the toilet the meds the hospital sent me home with and beat me for going to doctor. Another beating for wanting divorce. I arranged escape, seeing death ahead.
Today's happy me born!
@PaulaGepson
Years ago when my grandmother was in her late 70s she had it done. I remember one thing I told myself never to forget: She was kicking herself for living many years believing she was simply going blind, nothing to do about it. Then, in minutes, she felt reborn, whole new person.
Georgia (the one south of Ukraine)
Anti-Putin pro-Europe party just won the election!!!!
Even though his guys had long made themselves permanent fixtures there.
This is huge!
@DrProudman
We who grew up in patriarchy, at home and at school with men and boys patting us on the head or the opposite - by word, facial expression dismissing our idea, and full-on hits; seen as airheads even by men who were "in love" with us.
Misogyny is hate. It's in the eyes. It stuns.
@Architectolder
Yes! I have always said this.
Imagine it in the middle of the Colisseum, Forum, Parthenon, Versailles, heck why not smack in front of Buckingham Palace? Historic should remain historic.
Oooft. Hundreds of people have gathered in Sydney in the pouring POURING rain to stand in solidarity with abortion rights protestors in the United States following the overturning of Roe v Wade.

@BlackKnight10k
Way back in the 60s we were taught proper words that don't offend. "Never say Jew" is what I kept forever. I cringe every time I hear and read the word Jew all over the place now. Jewish was the respectable word, which I always say unless I'm repeating someone's word.
@IPCoachZ
Never apologize for retweeting. Retweets are just info sharing. Plus the more the better, as Twitter has a way of not distributing all your retweets. I retweet a lot to help the original sender reach more people. Keep 'em coming.
@Gerashchenko_en
This looks like:
Vlad is working with Don
Doing his part by subliminal messaging.
Plant the visual of what mass deportation
looks like, sure to entice Americans to go for it.
This line-up marching is beautiful to magas.
@TimInHonolulu
I remember hearing soon after that Putin bragged that poll numbers were his easiest thing to mess with, while admitting he did help Don win.
@nate_postlethwt
I will forgive a mistake. Never will forgive a person who schemed, enjoyed, salivated with satisfaction, hurting, ruining, hoping I would fall apart and lose my mind or even my life. I will never forgive a person of zero gut-felt contrition.
Evil is one who enjoys hurting good.
The first time th Russia-NRA connection was made public was in the M. Butina days. I was in Wisconsin seeing Butina cozied up to Ron Johnson, both smiling ear to ear. Within days the subject disappeared from public eyes and ears.
Every time I hear of NRA I picture soviet dreams.
Idea
Ginni, we hear, frequented the WH a lot. I picture her wishing to be there 24-7. Then I picture the don promising her a very high position in the WH if he wins, and if she helps him win. This is the only thing that makes sense to me. The giant Carrot by the Carrot in Chief.
Switzerland and Sweden were neutral even during World War II.
Today Switzerland is freezing Russian assets, and Sweden is sending 5000 anti-tank missiles to Ukraine.
Putin has united and awakened the free world — perhaps more than ever before.
@Theholisticpsyc
A loveless marriage is a lifeless one.
Divorce is pro-life, a wake up, a live again, a find peace you only dreamed of.
Once you're out you realize that crying, wringing hands, disappointment, fights, unkind words and actions are NOT normal and NOT healthy.
Society is not wise.
@Strandjunker
In Netherlands I spent 4 years assisting in a nursing home that had a nursery school on the first floor (babies and toddlers). My heart swelled every day at the sight. Floor to ceiling windows from the main lobby extension. A shared garden/park outside. So much love.
So civilized
@bobcesca_go
Been watching closely 5 decades.
My conclusions have remained the same. Republicans always run up the deficit sky high.
Americans don't know how they do it and where the money goes. Dems have a mess to clean up and they do it every time plus people prosper.
@Pops__o
Same here 50 years ago.
Took me escaping and living a life entirely different, to realize I was normal and smart and desirable and even pretty to many along the way! One person can mess up your self-assessment. In my case it was relatives plus a spouse. Dumped all of them.
@DrGJackBrown
So true!! One in my family. I was a just a kid. She, the grande dame trouble maker of the family. I yelled
"You don't laugh with people. You laugh at them!" Surprisingly, she did not respond. I pounced away high-fiving myself for something I said and never regretted in my life.
@DrProudman
I've been saying and seeing for decades in 70 plus years, mothers along with dads reinforce that males are superior. Boys believe they are born superior to females. We who have lived it at home in childhood, out in the world of school and work and then in marriage. Still there.
A frantic father runs to the school to save his child (who died). The cops stop him and pin him down. A woman doing the same is handcuffed.
There is a difference between resisting cops for no reason and another to save your child, hearing their screams.
@JamesMartinSJ
Thank you Father James!
I'm an ex who clings to Franciscan and Jesuit upbringing and absolute regard and support for His Holiness Francis. Please do what you can to change the minds of people who stereotype Catholicism.

@LeaBlackMiami
My hunch
They don't hate Finland or Sweden. They do hate NATO. Not because they know exactly what NATO is. But Donnie said so.
@KyivIndependent
When Joe was (just) in Poland, he told us on US TV he knew Ukraine well, having been there many times in his decades representing US. And now, his first wish was to go there. He said he was "told" that as president now he could not step a foot into Ukraine.
@KamalaDreams
When I see re-runs of the scene, I look at the people behind to find one person reacting to an onlooker being shot and killed. I don't see any reactions. No screaming, ducking.
All I see are people wide-eyed, then smiling and applauding as T stood up.
Am I mistaken?
Social Security
I get $1000/mo
Women of my generation expected to stay home, tolerated for doing part-time work, later divorced, get half hubby's SS minus penalty for starting early to survive. I often worked 8rs on PT salary. Full time work paid half male salary for same work.
I was away from Twitter a couple of months. Am now back, slowly getting into the groove again. I'm surprised that my posts get only a handful of readers. Is this the new normal?
@JamesTate121
Telling Gracie why can alter the self confidence she feels in this shot and make her self-conscious for years to come. It's adorable. Tell her it's adorable.
@LesaRenee333
Try a new account. Different photo.
I did. Yes, bummer to start over with no followers but over all you feel free from trouble makers. I decided not to try to amass followers. Just read, reply, type some thoughts and sign off. Followers trickle in.
@lovewins11011
Abusers go for nice,sane,intelligent,upbeat, comfortable in your own skin, in healthy self love/respect. The abuser plays your equal with added sugar. Then bit by bit chips away at your admirable traits, hinting you're the opposite of those things. Enjoys wearing you down.
@JewsAreTheGOAT
It means this to you but traditionalists worldwide know it as wholesome symbol. I have one from my time there. And I'm Christian American.
@lovewins11011
My advice to a young woman contemplating divorce, truly wringing her hands in quandary.
I was gentle but direct: If when you arrive home and you look at the door and don't want to go in because he is in there, it's over.
@ruthbenghiat
Among the top of list reasons I left Catholicism was the audacity and presumption of mortals, especially those of wordly ambition of power and greed, calling their society one big blasphemy: Opus Dei (Work of God). Shock and Awe to those of us who took our religion seriously.
@rr_edmonds
So, Putin paid people with grand titles and trusted to lie to the entire nation to make Trump look squeaky clean when he was up to his ears in disqualifying dirt.

Now I wonder too if the don's mysterious sudden bat out of hell lift off of golf course and flight the other night was a tip-off thing. How does that happen and the next day Moscow becomes a no-fly zone? Bet we'll never know. Media becomes a no-know zone.
@DavidCayJ
@Reuters
PERSON WHO: THING THAT
I believe that when Spanish became required foreign language in HS people reverted to THAT for both people and things, because it is the norm in Spanish. As linguist I came up with this excuse for the common THAT.
@nate_postlethwt
When that happens I say
Sensitivity is reaction to insensitivity.
When they say I am defensive, I say
There is no defense without offense.
Hint: Basically I would not be who I am if you were not who you are!
(I like being sensitive. And I treat others as if they were sensitive)
@GoldCBT
At 21 I said yes to this. Vastly improved in Oscar award-winning act and tears of coming to God healing. Worst mistake of my life. Within months I was in hospital, then on a plane to escape. The evil streak is like DNA. They don't change. (my subjective reply)
@Jcheunginhin
@CrossCountryUK
For decades I flew international monthly.
Hated this. Always men to women. They don't ask men to move! I scolded a big scary guy in front of everybody. "Mr. Big Shot You can't waltz in and expect people to give up their seats for you. Now sit down!" He saw my ire. Sat down.
@RickPetree
My partner and his law firm handled big ticket NYC real estate from way back in the 50s.
When I did research on Mr. Accordion in 1980
he told me all reputable law firms and businesses new that any dealings with the Ts would ruin their reputations.
@DrGJackBrown
Reminder
GOP mission to bring back all things pre-1960s. We, raised pre-60s, must speak up. Everything we are seeing and hearing is a call for everything, especially women's thinking, to be pre-60s. We were raised to want to be less able than males, less smart, less everything!
@CatholicDems
@SpeakerPelosi
She and Biden represent the ideal and most respectable Catholic spirit and the one thing Catholicism expects of its faithful:
Altruism.
Actually altruism is the one expectation of all Christianity. Jimmy Carter excels as true Christian.
Enable relief and way out for the trapped.
@MollyJongFast
I do not get it!!
Trump flags. Trump banners:
Jews will not replace us!
Swastikas everywhere.
No one on MSM talks about this.
Why? Why is mainstream media avoiding this?
@Gerashchenko_en
Trump's team is Putin wanna-be.
Trump will reinstate the draft and my grandkids will be called. His "machine" and Russia's
"machine" will work together. Our boys will die for Russia's agendas. Trump and Putin will have towns named after them in USSR2 and U.S.
@sara_carrion_
Knowing what has to be done, when it has to be done, how it has to be done, why it has to be done, who has to do what, all the while making sure in every step 2 + 2 = 4. Multi-task brain scares the hell out of them. Major turn off.
@Sifill_LDF
I saw her tears as response to words of praise, love and support and, finally, eloquent knock down of bigots. She can handle bad guys from her high road. This was different. Like loving hands cupping your face reassuring you're the winner here, not they. And SCOTUS role model.
@caslernoel
In 2000,a big guy of "glaringly orthodox" sect, in regalia head to toe, stood in the aisle chanting and ordering passengers to give up their seats for his people. I saw red, stood up and scolded "Who do you think you are? You are not king of this plane. Sit down....Now!" He did.
@RBReich
In 80s I was loyal worker bee. I stayed late, plates in the air like wonder woman. No raise.Never had lunch. Once never got to the bathroom! Then the CEO's wife sauntered in and bragged about their new Swiss chalet, house
#4
. Exactly the moment I realized WE made them rich.
A raped girl gets an abortion, and is imprisoned as a murderer. A Kyle Rittenhouse shoots dead unarmed persons and is celebrated, applauded by members of Congress and honored at Trump's lair. This is the US the world is talking about.
@VABVOX
The entire world put on masks and kept them on after we stopped. Show them videos of the entire world, big cities,remote outposts.
Earth to Maga:
The world outside of US does not know Fauci!
Fauci is ONE of the world's experts on pandemics. To trash him is to trash all of them.
@DrGJackBrown
Past tense because he is in heaven.
Me, no matter how unattractive, how furious over whatever, how depressed that I wasn't fit for this world, how overly concerned about every one in my life, He adored me. Every minute 24-7.
Let's say
Mexico takes 2 Texas territories along border, saying they are harassed and need peacekeepers. Mexico announces to the world that all of Texas must belong to them. This peacekeeper thing is step one. Texas is not a member of intl savior pact. Nothing we can do.
@davidgmandel
You now know. I won't say here all the things they do and words like cutting knives, both lasting an hour or more. I came to believe that many get high on it. One slap feels good, a punch even better, kick, throw her body, each hit wants more, till they/re drunk on it, then stop.
@CookKCEgyptian
@caslernoel
You're not alone. We are being fed 24-7 the worst of humankind all around us and our hands are tied. Every day is worse than the day before. We aren't wired up for non-stop negativity and badness. I hope you have a place to tune it out. A place the opposite of negative and bad.
@mhdksafa
Absolutely. After 5 I'm fluent in only one. I learned valuable lessons around language.
Americans abroad are afraid to practice a language as they fear being mocked.
When foreigners smile pleased at our bumpy try, we learn that is what to do.
Good people respect n admire the try.
@ladyindrak
I knew a retired wealthy man, law firm head, comfy income. I assumed his SS was high. It was
$35000/yr. That was 5 yrs ago. People in regular non-posh echelons get half that.
Many only 1/4th. Basically, supermarket bill.
Decades GOP says stop SS and Put savings to Wall St. Well?

Hi John
I was diagnosed with Leukemia/Lymphoma. Thought I was nearing the end. In Spring Had my first treatment run of 4 weeks of infusion with immunotherapy formula.
My horribly high numbers plummeted down to normal! Incurable but treatable is their prognosis. Love your story.
JC's THE WAY
"Do not kill, harm, threaten.
No one is superior, including me.
Lift, aid the fallen.
Don't hit back. Turn the cheek.
Don't worship me. Just do as I do.
To do these things is to be my flock."
Real Christians must call out
ALL Fake Christians in pews and pulpits.
@mefletcher54
And then he met the Saudis at Bedminster!!
No one talks about that.
Someone knows about the boxes and
Ivana's fake coffin
Probably her daughter's patented, rigged
and armored a la 007 tech gadgetry too.
Abortion ruling anti-female only?
In my long life, every abortion story I have known entailed hissy fit by the father of the embryo and his demand to abort, plus parents of either the boy or the girl or both demanding the abortion.
This ruling is not a hit on just the girl/woman.
Speaker
What no one on the discussions shows is saying, or reminding, is that the Speaker takes on the role of President of the United States if tragedy befalls pres and vice. Is this any consideration among the voters in that chamber?
@lovewins11011
No! Their life is scripted and choreographed, including that one. To go would mean I'm once again caving to the wish and they'd think Gotcha! I caved once, as he cried so hard my divorce lawyer insisted I go back. Next day he said I was going to die for leaving him. I almost did.
@Ryan_Daigler
Not showing up at graduations and awards nights, where other parents are beaming, taking photos, cheering. Later my ex did the same. A minute before my competition on stage he left with the kids. I got 1st prize. I was alone up there, 10yrs old again. (audience aghast)
@krassenstein
Fauci did not tell us it was important to know where it came from. DT did that.
Fauci is a teacher. He told us a pandemic is not any old epidemic. It is everywhere in the nation, in the air we breathe and here is how an entire population can survive it. Period.
No fuzzy math.
@KaivanShroff
Yes! And about crucial things called knowledge and experience, one is a walking encyclopedia, lawyer and professor before 40 years in every corner of congress and White House. The other a walking picture page book and former genius at not being genius. Don't get me started!
@mccaffreyr3
I lived with Holocaust survivors. Thsi kind of talk should get him arrested. I'm picturing him in europe's occupied territories talking like this, andin a public speech. It's probably being televised there right now. I'd like Biden to call him out harshly -national tv and int'l.
@Ryan_Daigler
They have two aims:
To make others doubt you and reject you.
To make you doubt yourself and hate yourself.
The intention of both = Demise
@RpsAgainstTrump
@MrTAchilles
Another way to look at it:
Would we hire him to be our company receptionist?
To babysit our kids?
To be Grandma's caregiver?
To negotiate pharmaceutical prices?
To negotiate with foreign dignitaries?
To be role model to the kids of GA and USA?
Exactly why is he GOP's best option?
LOOK at Pres. Zelensky's eyes mirroring pain over every single Ukrainian tortured and murdered. We see millions crushed and broken people in those eyes. He looks exhausted, standing beside the man who praises their killer, seeks the end of Ukraine, even of Z himself.
@atrupar
@MeidasTouch
I'm seeing more. If DT is still a Fox Friend and birdie in their ear, he likely wants the word abortion not brought up. Same during the election campaign. We all know why.
My thought.
@RickPetree
@KeyserSozeBro1

My argument in teacher prep education class
was that if public funds serve private schools then private schools are public. Public funds means public feet are in the door, govt voice dominates, like it or not. Careful what we wish for. Public money is not simple charity.

I always mute. MSNBC puts his entire being on the screen when someone talks about him. The person talking gets maybe a quarter of the screen. Why show him at all? We know what he looks like! Every damn day since 2015.

He did not shut down Covid. The unvaccinated made it not only stay alive but morph into deadly variants. His shut down was begging all to vaccinate. They didn't. They did this.
