At the risk of being called a party pooper, I'd like to remind #TheResistance that: 1. #TaxScamBill if anything GOP may now try to shove faster now, suppository style; 2. #NetNeutrality & #NationalMonuments are still in danger; 3. #infrastructure spending & many state services

have been cut to the bone; 4.#CorruptionMustDie & so does #nepotism, but both alive & well; 5. #NazisInAmerica & other hate group rampant, & there is no #GunControlNow or even serious discussion of it; 6. #StateDepartment is being decimated & deserted by many career ppl & that is

one of USA ramparts against isolation & a means to avoid wars; 7. worldwide US credibility, relevance & trustworthiness, even by staunch traditional allies, is at an all time low; 8. ppl whose only credentials are closeness to 45 are still in key positions & some have made wrong

if not purposefully misleading statements re: Russia & similar; 9: #TrumpRussiaCollusion investigation is being attacked at every turn & #Congress hasn't #FireproofMueller as it should; 10. #cyberattacks form USA enemies haven't stopped & #unhackthevote far from completed;

11. voting irregularities as denounced by @mikefarb1 & others can happen again, since #PaperBallots not universally implemented. That stay on an injunction preventing #AlabamaElection ballots from destruction should give pause to anyone who wants free & fair elections; 12. groups

of voters should NEVER bet taken for granted, courted during campaigns, then shoved aside; 13. #MeToo women abuse still rampant & #PredatorInChief hasn't been investigated by Congress, & keeps insulting women w/impunity; 14. WH systematic attack on #FreePress & DOJ attempts at

installing a repressive state & eliminating protections acquired after long struggles such as #CivilRights movement must be stopped before Lügenpresse becomes a thing; 15. a #FakePresident might get a pass to constant #TrumpLies & #Gaslighting but a real one should be taken to

task; 16. #CaliforniaWildfires & #PuertoRico catastrophe have shown that cutbacks to emergency services & utter incompetence to keep the #MAGA base happy are not innocuous 17. A real president doesn't "play" political rallying to promote an accused child molester when the largest

economy in America burns, or when an island in the middle of a YUGE ocean which has been American longer than he is suffers a catastrophe, whichPR still endures. Worse, a real president does not try to skate over his appalling handling of situation by attacking @CarmenYulinCruz

who has bravely worked to help ppl in PR from the very beginning; 18. No press secretary in a democracy has the right to threaten the #FreePress @Acosta or to be allowed to constantly lie & refuse to answer questions just bcs the #FakePresident doesn't like #MSM; 19. A real free

press should NOT be treated as equal to state Pravda & such state Pravda trying to subvert the institutions by threatening chaos if an investigation that was initially vetted by all sides is abt to find fault at govt officials; 20. #Emoluments clause cannot be constantly violated

w/impunity by anyone in govt; 21. judges doing fundraising for a sitting president may be OK in banana republics, not in a democracy w/three coequal branches 22. Dissent is not the enemy, but the fuel a true DEMOCRACY grows & improves from. #FBR #TheResistance @BirdsGetStarted

22. Were that not enough, #GlobalWarming #climatechange science has been purposefully ignored & 23. New technologies & #cleanenergy ignored as well to pander to coal mines, inciting miners to even refuse retraining for better jobs. 24. #CleanWater has become luxury in some cities
