You might ask, why does the U.S. need to tell Venezuela's opposition that talk of an invasion is "magical realism"? Well, it's because Donald Trump said invading Venezuela would be "cool". And whether we like it or not, people take him seriously. https://t.co/obSYmA6O3H — PolitiTweet.org

I believe both these things. 1. This is a genuinely good thing they're doing. 2. Our continued reliance on billionaires to fund (and set the rules surrounding) basic public functions, like secure elections, is immoral and dangerous. — PolitiTweet.org

My god, Julie. I'm so sorry. Thanks to @TheAtlantic for publishing an excerpt from my book, from the chapter examining America's suicide epidemic. In my research, I learned this fact: 85% of suicide attempts w a gun end in death. But for intentional drug overdoses? 3%. — PolitiTweet.org

This is good news, and a model for other universities to follow. One of the tragedies of COVID in America is that we know what do to - but too many states and institutions refuse to follow the model, and Trump doesn't allow the federal government to spread the model. — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Biden condemns violence, no matter who commits it. Donald Trump refuses to condemn violence when his supporters are the assailants. Under Obama and Biden, violent crime went down 15%. This year, under Trump, murders are up 26% in American cities. So now you know. — PolitiTweet.org
