Starts with a few pages of selected quotes. The page pictured below gave me goosebumps. This is gonna be good.

50 million in bank? Plant trees, cultivate garden, tend livestock x.com/garybasin/stat…
Russia's FSB claimed the truck bomb that detonated on the Kerch Strait Bridge contained 22 tons of explosives - a figure that does not hold up under close scrutiny. Story w/ @mschwirtz nytimes.com/live/2022/10/1…
with two former american generals in the feed w self-assured takes on ukraine, after being partially responsible for the disasters in afghanistan & iraq (& after misleading the world as their own wars circled the drain), now is a good time to delete twitter from your phone.
I don’t want socialist utopia and I don’t want this homogenized, sterilized capitalist hellscape I want weird little places and idiosyncratic people all over the place doing their own thing, making growing and building things they think are neat

Pentagon & MoD in London claimed it was a command centre. It wasn’t. I was there, had a good look round unsupervised over several days and saw the bodies.
The hardest part for me to accept isn't the notion that the US gov used us in some machiavellian scheme to secure oil or power or whatever, but rather that they kept soldiers marking time for 20 years literally because they are uninspired bureaucrats who had no other answers.
When terrorists have released a video of your family members death, and delighted in their suffering, what Israelis are going through hits close. My heart is with every family whose worst nightmares were realized these past few days. #israel #wewillneverforget
@michaelroypurdy It tends to make one more judicious in one's speech.
.@DanMcKeeRI: "I'm worried about the storyline that you're ready to report." @FitzProv: "I just asked a question. You can control the answers - you can't control the questions."
@bamaral44 @TedNesi @GovDanMcKee @FitzProv On releasing RICAS scores… “Back to @DanMcGowan , tell Dan to report it correctly” - @DanMcKeeRI (Dan is the best education reporter in the state) This is wild! 😳😳😳
.@GovDanMcKee has been in office for more than a year and a half and still often doesn't take well to probing questions, like these (perfectly reasonable ones) from @FitzProv. Some brutal moments. Fitz unflappable. bostonglobe.com/2022/11/03/met…
"I'm not looking for anyone to question what I just said." Many of @FitzProv's relatively straightforward questions clearly get under the skin of @GovDanMcKee. The governor also seems to have come to the interview under the assumption it was supposed to be a "positive" piece.

@JJSchroden Yes, I don't deny that. But I'm also sick of people representing a service that took ~ 3% of the casualties the Army did flippantly pretending like the rank and file who gave their all just phoned it in. Countries go to war, not individual services. And the *US* lost Afghanistan
@mikenelson586 Just reinforcing your second tweet that the Army did make some pretty egregious mistakes in #Afghanistan & it’d be awesome if the institution would own up to & attempt to learn from them
Hour and a half 😉. You know psychedelics distort the sense of time
@cjchivers @lourdesgnavarro I remember the lightbulb going off in my head when my dad explained why my grandfather would just sit there, eat his food, and wait to leave when we ate in restaurants, but at dinner at his house he'd be very talkative, tell long stories and crack jokes.
@cjchivers As you know my husband has a similar issue after having his hearing compromised in Iraq. I’ve seen him struggle with exactly the same issues as you. I found this framing appalling for reasons personal and professional.
Is the issue that he can’t hear or that he can’t think? Seems to me that if he needs closed captioning it’s a hearing issue and framing it ‘as not understanding’ is deeply problematic.
NBC News’ Dasha Burns: “In small talk before my interview [with Fetterman], it wasn’t clear he understood what I was saying.” #PASEN
Audio processing and cognition are two different things and the framing of this is very very bad.
@DBarkhuff @cjchivers @MikePerryavatar Or well meaning ,but naïve on a throwaway mission. I’m thinking about a guy on his first recon run on a lightweight, no contact expected mission. Of course there was contact. Things died down. He popped up for a look and that was that. You’re just as dead.
I’m so sick of these control obsessed warmongering greedheads that run the fucking world, destroying beautiful things for the sake of efficiency & dividends I don’t care what you call yourself, if you like my little memory here & felt something, let’s find a way to work together
There is always something you can do x.com/brightabyss/st…
And if you can’t do those things, for very good reasons, or at least not on your own, then support the people and politics that do. Work with collectives and neighbourhood projects. We need to cultivate more adaptive worlds from the bottom up.
