Desantis has No Platform, just scapegoating the marginalized and vomiting out the word “woke” every two minutes. That’s it folks! In 1 minute Brian Shapiro nails it!👇👇
After reading that article in the federalist (fascist), it’s clear to me that America is in a very dire situation. Every election is going to be challenged or worse, ignored. The right wing have no interest in being in a democracy or a republic. Rather they want one party to /1
rule. It really does sound exactly like the Handmaid’s Tale. They know they are the minority and they demand we follow their rules or we get jailed. It’s insane but that’s what the article says. They want to embrace a totalitarian regime. If they get control they will just /2
refuse to relinquish control. Democracy will be dead. How long can we keep this up? The GOP created this monster and now have become it. I’ve no interest in returning to America so I might relinquish my citizenship for another country. It hinges on this election. Everyone /3
"Republicans are pushing various efforts to “audit” or “recount” the 2020 voting, which should be seen as dry runs for manufacturing pretexts for subverting future outcomes."

"a GOP governor could refuse to certify a slate of electors for a Democratic winner of the popular vote, or send rogue electors for the GOP candidate, in defiance of the popular vote, for Congress to count."

“it is theoretically possible that a governor, with the support of a legislature of the same party, could certify a result contrary to the popular vote & that Congress would then count those electoral votes.”

Trump is basically saying “who me? Incite violence?” while continuing to promote the same lie that incited the insurrection that killed 5 people. Jan. 6th was not a “one time occurrence.”
TRUMP. INCITED. VIOLENCE. CONSTANTLY. EVEN. AS. A. NOMINEE.

Impeachment trial takes - Thread.
This video from don the con’s lawyers is a pathetic attempt, a false equivalency. Big difference: OUR people didn’t take the word “fight” literally after speeches. OUR ppl didn’t storm the Capitol & have an insurrection. #GOPCorruptionOverCountry

You #GOPCowards think none of us citizens have been watching this thing. We have. In fact, we’ve been watching for years - closely. We understand your gaslighting & projection games. We don’t fall for it. #ImpeachmentTrial2
Welp, my impeachment bingo board is already full. Just an hour in to Don the Con’s legal team’s propaganda.
Although I no longer associate myself with #Resistance, I'd like to give a shout-out to all the wonderful people who supported me

🚨My sis & I r nurses. I am ICU trained. She has only worked clinics & is now in nursing IT. Her hospital is asking the IT RNs cover bedside. She has NEVER done bedside care. And her hospital is ONLY low acuity but they will soon not be able to transfer patients & need to take pt
Patients from overflow from high acuity.
ICU RNs have specific training. Even Med/ Surg hospital nurses are not equipped to do ICU type patients.
This is important because “beds” available and “staff” available means any bed & body. So this metric for @GovRicketts to use

Has always been BullSh:t in every way. It is not safe to have untrained ill prepared inexperienced staff caring for patients.
I don’t expect the avg. person to know that every MD or RN is not equipped— BUT I am quite sure the Governor has been briefed & understands this

Once one major party is committed to smashing all norms & using the rules of democracy to create an illiberal democracy, the other party can't simply stay committed to good governance that acts in good faith. GOP won’t act in good faith. Democrats can't govern as if they will.
Republicans are accustomed to holding the levers of power despite being a minority, so they act tyrannical. Is small 'd' democracy an effective counter to that behavior? I don't think it is.

why does trump keep doing awful shit to everyone? a thread:
trump was broke when he ran. he owes at least $410M, we don't know to whom he owes it but pretty good chance it's a russian state-funded bank that transferred $ to deutsche bank at the same time he got the loans

we also know that russia helped him win the election. what he owes for that, or whether that whole scheme was an effort for him to pay back an even greater undisclosed debt, we may never know. but what is certain is trump owes russia at least $410M plus election services

we also know that since trump has taken office he has directly sought to destabilize as quickly and permanently as possible every aspect of american life using the guise of republican policy (i.e. plutocracy mixed w/racism). some acute examples include:

@senrobportman Sir I’m watching you right now and I got a measly $107 this week. I received unemployment, went back to work, got laid off again because we are back to phase 1! How IS 107 going to feed my family, take care of my children when I don’t get any government assistance!
You sir are a millionaire and you were lying to all of the American people standing on that podium! Also my husband is a fire captain with 20 years experience facing layoff! There are people mooching but the ones that need this have families to fucking support!
Layoffs are still happening daily. Schools are still closed. You guys are a joke, i can’t believe we put faith in y’all to have the Americans back. You guys are millionaires, dangling money over our heads. What about the ones that made more than $600 a week? #GOPBetrayedAmerica

There has now been a recession in the first term of every single Republican president for the past 111 years.
In the past 73 years, there have been 11 "official" recessions, including 49 recessionary quarters.
41 of those quarters occurred under Republican presidents.

2/So, after all those yrs, when I suddenly get an eyebrow raise to, “He’s a career money-launderer for organized crime. From the Genovese to the Russian mob…”—that’s a big fucking deal. You can raise your own eyebrow at that statement, but it is a big deal. It just is.
3/And I’ll go as far to say that I’ve not only received raised eyebrows, but some concentrated silence, several laughs, the oh-so-rare “Interesting…,” & w the money-laundering research (incl Firtash, Epstein, and Mogilevich), a solid run of “That’s good. What else do you have?”
Funny. I underpaid my quarterly taxes by about $0.85 and the government managed to figure out who I was, that I owed them three quarters and a dime, and send me a letter about it within two weeks, no problem.

Trump claimed there were millions of illegal Democrat votes in 2016. He formed a commission to investigate it. They disbanded after a few months without finding one single illegal ballot. During that time, several Republican operatives were actually charged with voter fraud.
