After Kim Davis was released from jail today, having been held since Thursday for contempt of court over her refusal to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, Twitter exploded with reactions, some supporting the Kentucky county clerk, others denouncing her. Here's a sampling of the many anti-Davis tweets.

She is a political junkie who thinks even the wonkiest details are fascinating, and she always loves to see political candidates who are groundbreaking in some way. She enjoys writing about other topics as well, including religion (she’s interested in what people believe and why), literature, theater, and film. Trudy is a proud “old movie weirdo” and loves the Hollywood films of the 1930s and ’40s above all others. Other interests include classic rock music (Bruce Springsteen rules!) and history. Oh, and she was a Jeopardy! contestant back in 1998 and won two games. Not up there with Amy Schneider, but Trudy still takes pride in this achievement.
