He nails it.

Hello friends. I know times are dark but it is incredibly important not to lose hope. And, this week there are signs of hope and it paramount we recognize that hope, not let up and build. A thread on this if I may. You may appreciate this on a Friday. Come along with me. 🧵 (1/10)

One of the big questions with coups is who the military sides with. It's a big question now. Does the firing of a whole lot of leadership make the military now more malleable, or does it anger and alienate a lot of people down the chain of command? www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Spineless, yellow-bellied, lily-livered, weak-kneed, pusillanimous chickenshits.

Thank you so much, Tim! I finally feel hope now!

It was six degrees outside when I got up this AM. Got me wishing I was wading in a Big Island tidal pool. #Hawaii #Photography #Tropical #Nature #Photo #Ocean
