“Zelensky should not be used as a source of cheap grace. We cannot ignore the shadows that have fallen across American democracy, cast largely by the power of an increasingly antidemocratic far right in the Republican Party.” https://t.co/kPY0xlYuJ4 — PolitiTweet.org

I agree with @Timodc. You MUST listen to this entire 10-minute video. Especially if you speak Russian. It is a profound plea from a captured Russian soldier. Please take the time to listen from start to finish. — PolitiTweet.org

The heartbreakingly beautiful violin playing of a Ukrainian woman in a bomb shelter while Putin’s bombs explode above. Listen — and join the global humanitarian effort. We are all learning how to push back. Please, please help!! — PolitiTweet.org

“Predicting anything in this hellish week is a fool’s endeavour but of one thing I am sure: Putin has destroyed the appeal of strongman politics in the 2020s as effectively as Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin did in the 1930s.” https://t.co/jTw1LtuXUf — PolitiTweet.org

If Putin thinks the growing army of volunteers joining the Ukraine resistance will be scared off by his boastful threats, let him recall the Spanish civil war of 1936-39 and reflect on Picasso’s Guernica — PolitiTweet.org

But what if Trump, like Nixon, really BELIEVED that, if the president does something, that MAKES it “legal”? That’s pretty much the only argument left to support AG Garland’s supposed worry that Trump’s illegal intent might be just too tough to prove! — PolitiTweet.org

I hope so too. Murdering a Ukrainian woman as she brings food to a dog shelter is about as low as Putin’s war criminals can sink. — PolitiTweet.org

“Some want to try to recapture the intense clarity and purpose they felt in war, which is often missing in modern suburban life. Others . . . see the fight to defend a democracy against a totalitarian invader as the reason they joined the military.” https://t.co/zmCiyxA9jq — PolitiTweet.org

“They have no space to hide or run,” said the zoo’s director, Kyrylo Trantin, 49. “Once they’re out of the zoo, they have fewer options than any human. It’s going to be the streets with tanks.” https://t.co/P7oIM8vOtx https://t.co/P7oIM8vOtx — PolitiTweet.org

Secretary of State Antony Blinken told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" from Moldova on Sunday, March 6: "[W]e’ve seen very credible reports of deliberate attacks on civilians, which would constitute a war crime." — PolitiTweet.org

“Proponents reject the phrase ‘physician-assisted suicide’ and prefer ‘medical aid in dying,’ saying that terminally ill people are not suicidal but rather seeking more control over their final days.” https://t.co/l4kR7jLROS — PolitiTweet.org

“After years of serving in smoldering occupations, trying to spread democracy in places that had only a tepid interest in it, many are hungry for what they see as a righteous fight to defend freedom against an autocratic aggressor.” https://t.co/KWl8jwWn2u — PolitiTweet.org

Anyone ready to put this lunatic in charge of our nuclear arsenal again either could use serious mental help or is a suicidal nihilist beyond help altogether — PolitiTweet.org

All but Romney were “willing to look the other way as Trump weakened Ukraine in an attempt to rig the 2020 election by creating a scandal he hoped would sink his chief opponent.” Putin’s criminal invasion of Ukraine will forever be part of Trump’s legacy. https://t.co/fiFA5ShMf9 — PolitiTweet.org

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has decreed that widely accepted medical treatments for transgender youth — gender-affirming care — will now be classified as “child abuse” in Texas. State officials have already begun investigating parents for the “crime” of supporting their trans children — PolitiTweet.org

Don’t sweat it if you’re shy. You’re in good company: According to historian ERIC McKITRICK, Thomas Jefferson “was shy and frightened of speaking in public; he would not or could not stand up to other men in debate. He sat mute through the sessions of the Continental Congress.” — PolitiTweet.org

Maybe some people think it’s no big deal to let Trump off the hook for trying to overturn the election. His attempt failed, after all. By that logic, attempted murderers would all go free. Why not wait till they succeed? Because then it’ll be too late to protect ourselves! — PolitiTweet.org

Queen Elizabeth, who must be strictly neutral on political matters, made a “generous donation” from her private funds to humanitarian aid in Ukraine. If she can give a lot, each of us can give a little. I did. Please give what you can. — PolitiTweet.org

Laurence Tribe @tribelaw

It would. But AG Garland seems more willing to take those risks to democracy’s survival than to risk relying on our legal system to reach the right verdict against Trump. I really hope I’m wrong and that Garland is preparing an indictment of Trump in the shadows. But I doubt it. — PolitiTweet.org
