Leaving twitter Rebuilding I follow back Resisters Still in shock for America... We warned them. The Resistance should have prevailed. How they could choose to bring the POS back just doesn't make sense. Always #VoteBlue Climate Change is real!

If would be nice if someone - anyone - from the legacy press would merely ask a single GOP Elected Official whether they think the Young Republicans should qualify as a domestic terrorist organization.

WTF: Trump just wrote a letter to states ordering them to CUT OFF food stamps if the government isn't reopened by November 1, AND he just DOUBLED the Argentina bailout to billionaires. Don't let him do this quietly.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it.

ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures.

Losers with power become the most dangerous kind.

They are growing more violent, less concerned with the law. This is what Dr. Bray has said about fascist movements. They come to power promising law and order, but they break laws to exert power.

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

This is why they don't want reporters around the pentagon. He is going to declare these protests to be riots and attack the people protesting. My prayer is that our military refuses to attack Americans exercising their first amendment rights

The Bigger the cover-up, the bigger the scandal. That Trump is doing this grotesque circus act must only mean that #TheEpsteinFiles is without a doubt, the Biggest scandal in American history.
Americans cannot simply Want to see #TheEpsteinFiles. Our Democracy Demands we see #TheEpsteinFiles.
