Before you decide that should have been freed before because he was a Marine - at last look at the Navy's court record in this link below

Whelan was *courtmartialed* for attempted larceny, dereliction of duty, among other things.

To be clear, I am all for getting any American, including Whelan, unjustly jailed out of the ПИЗДЕЦ (Google it) terrorist/Fascist state that# Russia has become. We should be celebrating a small victory in getting at least Griner home.

Now let the Biden Administration continue working to get Whelan and others home, because the Trump Administration did nothing when Whelan was jailed in Russia.

To all the Nazis, bigots, and #ChristoFascists with their panties in a twist about the Respect for Marriage Act, it's simple.

Just don't get gay or interracially married. Nobody's forcing you.

Unless your "respect for marriage" is just about your white nationalist dream of a Republican Fourth Reich.

Viktor Bout has been accused of supplying arms to Al Qaeda, the Taliban and rebels in Rwanda. He was convicted in the U.S. in 2011.

Now, after a prisoner swap involving Brittney Griner, Bout is free, despite serving less than half of his 25-year sentence. nyti.ms/3FAw1cY

I’m grateful Brittney Griner is free

But was the exchange of a notorious arms dealer – and negotiating with a terrorist nation – setting a bad precedent? Or was this the right move?

Washington DC voted to make its bus system fare-free, starting July 1. This is big...the first major city to make their bus service completely free, and hopefully will serve as an example to other bus services around the nation. This makes the busses available not only to the middle class but also to the very poor who can't afford transit...in other words, greater equity. (Yes, this is me in my transit advocacy mode.) #transit #bus #PublicTransit

Pediatric hospitals are being crushed by RSV, flu, #COVID19. I'm masked every day, seeing patients of all ages. We don’t get sick from our patients and we keep the environment safe for them. Yet unmasked adults gather at meetings, shops, parties. IMO, that’s surreal. #MaskUp

Glad to see the officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6 awarded Congressional Gold Medals this morning. It is due to their bravery that we were able to proceed with the transfer of power that day.
