“Today, it is the turn of Czechoslovakia. Tomorrow, it will be the turn of Poland…[Then] Germany will turn on the West…If the Western Powers capitulate again, they will only precipitate the war they wish to avoid." — French Prime Minister Edouard Daladier, April, 1938 — PolitiTweet.org

Born 287 years ago today: Paul Revere. "Borne on the night-wind of the Past, Through all our history, to the last, In the hour of darkness and peril and need, The people will waken and listen to hear The hurrying hoof-beats of that steed, And the midnight message of Paul Revere." — PolitiTweet.org

Frederick Douglass: "There are certain great national acts, which by their relation to universal principles, properly belong to the whole human family, and Abraham Lincoln’s Proclamation of the 1st of January, 1863, is one of these acts..." — PolitiTweet.org

159 years ago today: "On the first day of January in the year of our Lord, 1863, all persons held as slaves within any State, or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free." — PolitiTweet.org

@Bob_Wachter On May 1, 2021, the state deaths per 100K weren't far apart: CA deaths/100K = 154 TX deaths/100K = 173 FL deaths/100K = 168. FL and TX's vaccination & booster-hostile or skeptical policies mattered. Over the last 8 months, CA added 40 deaths/100K; TX 89/100K; FL 123/100K. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm with @ruthyoest. Cheerful pessimism is the way to go. Or, to be fancier about it, and to quote Gramsci (a...gasp!...Communist (!), the reading and teaching of whom is now presumably banned by Govs. DeSantis and Abbott): "Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will." — PolitiTweet.org

“A Trump victory in 2024, or even a narrow defeat, would put the very existence of the world’s longest running democracy in threat. So when you wake up, remember…if we don’t want a rerun, it’s time for everyone to start taking this threat real seriously.” https://t.co/NwVA07mZTo — PolitiTweet.org

“Later New Year's Day I took off for my home river, needing to catch my first fish of the year. I caught 26 instead…Maybe the New Year isn't so intimidating after all. Nor the decade that will unfold behind it…Why get spooked by the 10 years to come?” https://t.co/wR2aHOjpTC — PolitiTweet.org

Generally speaking, Republican legislators spend more time praying—or claiming to be praying—for Americans needing help, than legislating to help them. — PolitiTweet.org

There are nineteen Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee. This ignorant and dangerous tweet has been sent out under your name. Surely one of you would like to speak up and correct the record? Ask for the tweet to be deleted? Ask the ranking member how this happened? — PolitiTweet.org

Allan Arkush tells the interesting and amusing history of American Jews and American booze, concluding with the judgment there’s “no reason for us not to have a lechaim on New Year’s Eve, especially when it coincides, as it does this year, with Shabbat.” https://t.co/clNm1B6uHw — PolitiTweet.org

“So we’ll be reminded that as much as we may try not to think about the world out there, the world has a way of insisting at times that attention must be paid. 2022 will be one of those times.” https://t.co/EVNol78fpO — PolitiTweet.org

I've got to say I'd prefer it if the Speaker announced the House would convene to legislate on Jan. 6, and would vote on a Defense of Democracy Act that included Electoral Count Act reform as well as the key anti-election subversion provisions of the bills they've already passed. — PolitiTweet.org
