    I joined Twitter 15 years ago today. Twitter had a great deal of promise, but now I rarely use it. I don’t miss what it has become as Elon Musk’s X for it is now a tool of far right radicals and Russian bots. Sadly, Elon’s X has become the home for propaganda and disinformation.

    Twitter corporation, you can stop this. Trump is going to start a war. Twitter is no place to be carrying on diplomacy or making threats. History will record Twitter executives were complicit in encouraging violence. Shut down his account before he destroys this country
    These Media Posts will serve as notification to the United States Congress that should Iran strike any U.S. person or target, the United States will quickly & fully strike back, & perhaps in a disproportionate manner. Such legal notice is not required, but is given nevertheless!

    Since the late 1970s I have listened to literally hundreds of Joe Biden speeches, most of them in person on the Senate floor. This was Joe Biden’s best speech ever. Just what Ukraine and the world needed at this point in history.
