“I inherited a nation in crisis. The worst pandemic in a century. The worst economic crisis since Great Depression. The worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War… After just 100 days — America is on the move again. Turning peril into possibility.”
On January 20, 3 million Americans had been fully vaccinated.
100 days later, over 100 million Americans are fully vaccinated and the United States has ADDED 1.4 MILLION JOBS.
Imagine what President Biden’s administration can accomplish in four years...
"We won't ignore what our intelligence agencies have determined to be the most lethal terrorist threat to our homeland today: White supremacy is terrorism."

"President* Trump bears responsibility for Wednesday’s attack on Congress by mob rioters. He should have IMMEDIATELY denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding." Kevin McCarthy, January 13, 2021
Well, Kevin, we remember that U.S. House floor speech:
January 6 was a failed attempt to overthrow American democracy.
By purging Liz Cheney, the Republican Party completed its transformation into a fascist, Authoritarian cult.
OUR DUTY as Americans is to DEFEND DEMOCRACY and #RejectGOPFascism. @MeidasTouch
“I am sure Matt Gaetz is not feeling very comfortable today.”

Our United States leadership struggle is no longer Left versus Right.

To DEFEND DEMOCRACY, reject the radicalized Republican Party.

If we want this to CHANGE, begin with:
1. Abolish police unions.
2. Abolish law enforcement qualified immunity.
3. Make convicted police officers pay court judgments with their own pensions.
WITHOUT THESE CHANGES, NOTHING WILL CHANGE. #GeorgeFloydRewind
“What is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution? …What is wrong with having some situational understanding about the country for which we are here to defend?”
