On the supposedly difficult question of “criminal intent,” prosecutors should have no trouble convincing a jury. No more “oh, Trump’s criminal intent would be too hard to prove” excuses! The evidence is clear: it’s well past time to prosecute Donald Trump: https://t.co/bzvRbBeIDu — PolitiTweet.org

“Nowadays, autocracies are run not by one bad guy, but by [global] networks composed of kleptocratic financial structures, security services (military, police, paramilitary groups, surveillance personnel), and … propagandists.” Our strategy must adjust. https://t.co/oRc63UxxYF — PolitiTweet.org

This is far too simplistic a view. Fads like the “independent state legislature” doctrine are wrong as a matter of constitutional text and structure and core democratic values, not because they tilt against the federalist thrust of the 1787 Constitution. https://t.co/be6kmqv4hs — PolitiTweet.org

These are indeed war crimes in real time before our very eyes. Innocent civilians are obviously being aimed at deliberately. They're being slaughtered by Putin's army, not as the tragic but unavoidable fallout of war but as the intentional targets of the military onslaught. — PolitiTweet.org

This is discouraging news about national media coverage but very encouraging news about the strong pushback even among heartland Republicans against the anti-history, know-nothing craziness of the "don't mention CRT" contingent . . . — PolitiTweet.org

Fascist thugs. Par for the course. Putin is showing his true colors more clearly with every passing day. — PolitiTweet.org

I agree. Putin can inflict enormous harm but he will fail in the end. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm holding on to this Fukuyama prediction. I'm hoping it'll be closer to the mark than his 1992 prediction that history had come to an end! On the other hand, if he was wrong in 1992, there's all the more chance that he's right in 2022, so go ahead and hedge your bets . . . — PolitiTweet.org

I am among the First Amendment scholars who believe the media should lose these cases under the settled standards of NYT v. Sullivan for causing serious injury by deliberately promoting false claims of voter fraud https://t.co/NzGSPlEvYd — PolitiTweet.org

But Trump is still around and threatening to return to power, so don’t count the chickens just yet — PolitiTweet.org

Concrete steps that pro-choice states can take to offset the wave of new red state abortion bans that try to stop women from traveling to blue states to end their problem pregnancies lawfully there: https://t.co/jKQBEnNBtC — PolitiTweet.org

This is what war crimes look like. We’re in this — like it or not. — PolitiTweet.org

We’re binge-watching Outlander. Somewhat trashy but well done. — PolitiTweet.org

Yes, it CAN happen here. Democracy with a small “d” is a BFD, with a really BIG “D.” It’s not just a system of government, it’s about everyone’s freedom and our way of life.,protecting it must be JOB 1. — PolitiTweet.org

We “need to do more than talk about the importance of democracy. [We] need to deepen American democracy.” If we don’t, we will lose it. https://t.co/ExAF7UdzcP — PolitiTweet.org

To your health, @BarackObama! Drink some chicken soup, and get plenty of rest. — PolitiTweet.org

So now a blank sign — saying nothing at all — is forbidden speech in Putin’s Russia. George Orwell nodded. — PolitiTweet.org

More blood on Putin’s hands. — PolitiTweet.org

Her sign, “два слова,” literally said “two words.” And for that content-free message she was arrested and hauled off by the Kremlin guards! So much for the Russian Constitution’s guarantee of free speech! — PolitiTweet.org

Condolences to Brent’s loved ones. All the brave journalists who cover this criminal war are risking their lives for a great cause and deserve our undying thanks. — PolitiTweet.org

Important to have these comparable cities in mind. Makes Putin’s barbarism less abstract, more palpable. — PolitiTweet.org

“The ability to defend against an attack by Russia, which is estimated to have nearly 6,000 nuclear warheads and highly sophisticated missile technology, is practically nonexistent.” Only Mutually Assured Destruction — “MAD” — protects us. Sanity counts. https://t.co/Pjim2rYVti — PolitiTweet.org

“Virally spread political disinformation and delusional invective about stolen, rigged elections are threatening the foundation of our Republic.” It won’t be easy to keep the rising tide of fake news from drowning freedom and democracy, but we must try. https://t.co/5B4M31Y7EL — PolitiTweet.org

If Fukuyama was wrong about the “end of history” in 1992, that might mean he’s closer to right in this upbeat, history-transforming prognosis in 2022. Here’s to that grand prospect!! https://t.co/WvWW7DObFq — PolitiTweet.org
