3/ When I think of Memorial Day, I see a veteran who’s having a breakdown in his car because he can’t get help from the VA.
Do we(as a country) even care about our veterans?
Can we prove it through policy?!?

1/ To celebrate Memorial Day, Sen Tommy Tuberville, who actually identifies as a Coach, will continue to block ALL military promotions because the DOD pays travel expenses for some enlisted women who live in states that restrict abortions.

2/ Tuberville’s abuse of this Senatorial “prerogative” is not only disruptive to the military families who need to plan their relocations, but it also threatens national security. This from a guy who doesn’t know what the three branches of government are.

3/ So one coach, I mean “Senator,” who has defended White Nationalists as “Americans,” has the power to fvck with our fighting forces because he wants to force military women stationed in regressive states to give birth.

1- Over 580,000 individuals are experiencing homelessness in the United States. an increase of over 2,000 people since the last complete census conducted in 2020. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #FreshResists
2- About 30% of people without homes are experiencing chronic homelessness. This means they’ve been without homes for more than 12 months or have experienced extended periods of lengthy homelessness over the past 3 years.
3- 60% of those experiencing homelessness are male, though unsheltered homelessness rose by 5% among women and girls. More than a quarter of those experiencing homelessness were with their families, including children.
1- 🧵Republicans only do for THEMSELVES, to become richer and more powerful. They have no intention of ever working cooperatively with the democrats for a government that works smoothly in the best interest of the American people. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #FreshResists
2- Can you name one positive thing Republicans have done? Remember the hundreds of newly proposed bills that were stacked up on Mitch McConnell’s desk, being held for political game playing and not for any legitimate reasons?
3-And remember how Mitch McConnell refused to allow a vote on appointing Merrick Garland as a SCOTUS justice? That is nothing more than political game playing!
Why are we paying the generous salaries and benefits for such selfish & useless people?

1- 🧵Let’s talk about just a few of the things Trump accomplished.
He was the 1st President in history to serve a full term and increase the deficit every year he was in office.
He had the most new unemployment claims. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #FreshResists

2- First major party candidate in half a century to lose the popular vote twice. He had the longest government shutdown in history (and he did that while his own party controlled both chambers of Congress) First President to be impeached twice.
3- The most indictments, guilty pleas, & criminal convictions of members of an administration.
He wasted millions on golfing, with much of that going back to into his own pockets. He wasted billions on an wall that’s already falling over.

1- Those with lower levels of education tend to be drawn to conspiracy theories. The reason isn’t necessarily because they are not intelligent. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #FreshResists
2- But many have not been allowed to have, or haven't been given the tools to allow them to differentiate between good sources and bad sources or credible sources and non-credible sources.
3- Learning to think critically is one of the most important skills that children will need for the future. In today’s rapidly changing world, children need to be able to do much more than memorize and repeat a list of facts.
1- As a retired educator, I am especially angered by what the red states are trying to do to destroy our public schools. We know public schools are on the GOP’s hit list. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #FreshResists
2- We also know fascism flourishes when people are ignorant. So the less educated people are, the more likely they are to vote Republican. For example, I live in a purple state. But the area of the state I live in has many top-notch colleges & universities. My area votes blue.
3- Whitewashing America’s racial and genocidal history while ignoring the struggles of women and gays further empowers straight white male supremacy. This is most definitely a goal of the GOP!

MAGA GOP are the Party of Putin & have been for quite some time. They can whine, moan, b*tch & complain all day long on this is untrue or never said this nor that. Bringing some receipts you MAGA office holders. Let's begin...

As the diagram lays out, TFG failing at everything & bankrupting knew he couldn't stay afloat. As reports has shown his little Moscow trip for a pageant gave KGB Putin the perfect time to groom his little b*tch, a**, pu**y to finally attack America from within.
Putin knew after testing their capabilities regarding cyber warfare were effective, they expanded the covert operation by getting key figures in place. Powerful oligarchs with tons of $$$ to start injecting into the GOP. The GOPs lust for greed & power was the bait & was taken.
Really America? REALLY? Publicly shaming children is bad enough, but this is a bizarre, Dickensian debtor’s prison for kids. #ONEV1 #DemVoice1 #ResistanceUnited #FreshResists

This article explains various forms of lunch shaming; e.g. stamping a child’s hand or serving them lunch, then immediately taking it back and dumping it in the trash. Yes, really.

Before you leave Twitter remember how Black women never gave up. They played an active role in the suffrage movement. In spite of their hard work, Black women didn’t gain the right to vote until 50 yrs after the 19th Amendment. Black women fought on all fronts. #FreshResists
Mary Church Terrell was a suffrage activist/journalist and the 1st Pres. of the National Assoc. of Colored Women & charter member of the NAACP. She was also one of the first African-American women to be awarded a college degree. #FreshResists
Hallie Quinn Brown was a preeminent educator, writer, public speaker. She was also an activist in civil rights & suffrage throughout the 19th & 20th centuries. Her parents were both freed slaves & were involved w/the Underground Railroad. #FreshResists
The meeting to prohibit and condemn conversion "therapy" went well. But not as I hoped...
There will be complications. It was said that it may, or may not come to a vote. You know what I say to that? The lives of our #LGBTQIA+ youth need to be protected!

On November 7th a resolution came to city council. It was to affirm support for an individual's right to make basic, fundamental choices about their own reproductive health. (Not sure if it was passed yet)
One councilmember voted no, due to religious reasons. (2/6) 🧵
One councilmember voted no, due to religious reasons. (2/6) 🧵
But first, that councilmember voted yes by accident because there was a motion to reconsider his vote.
My Mayor had implied that, that same councilmember might have an issue with the ordinance that would prohibit and condemn conversion therapy. (3/6) 🧵

Tomorrow is the day I have the meeting with my Mayor of Lorain about prohibiting and condemning conversion therapy! We need to protect our #LGBTQIA+ youth from this dangerous “practice”… even if it’s city to city! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

1) Thread on what's going on with gas prices and oil. Seems like the Saudis control prices in America. Last part of thread will show the staggering amount of profit Saudis reaped off the American people.

2) So the TFG Admin was in full screw America over and blame the other side if the GOP failed to keep the WH. The GOP ( and some Dems) knew all along what was happening.
