Dear @AriFleischer and @PressSec -I’m sorry Sarah didn’t get served last night but want to clear up a few things. We are no celebrating that she got kicked out, we do not want this. We are celebrating that Republicans are now being treated the way they want to treat everyone else
What did you think would happen when SCOTUS ruled bakeries could refuse to serve LGBTQ people on religeious grounds? When Hobby Lobby wanted to deny women contraception? When Drs started saying the didn’t want to treat Trans people? All on “moral grounds”
Did you thing the “right” had the sole ownership of morals? You’ve told yourselves that the “left” is a bunch of amoral crazy people so long you probably started to believe it yourself. Its not true. Our morals say treat ALL people with dignity regardless of who they are...
But that has been our weakness. We thought we needed to treat all of you with the same respect as we want to be treated. We gave you the idea that your rascist, homophobic, isolationist points of view were valid and we should listen.
What we failed to understand is that by listening, we validated you, we made you think those points of view were compatable with a civilized society. We thought maybe if we were reasonable, you would listen, you would ...change. We were wrong.
Now, every gay couple has to go into a bakery and ask if they are allowed to get a cake. Women are scrambling to try and find how to get birth control, Trans people have to wonder if they will be attacked for using a bathroom.
So, I’m not sorry if there is a new trend of the “left”, or as I call them, moral Americans, standing up and saying we will not tolerate people who lock children in cages, dehumanize other members of socieity.
You will now have to wonder if you go into a buisness if you will be welcome. You may have to ask...”do you serve Republicans?” Yes, it is humiliating but it seems the only way to get a Republican to realize when something is wrong, it to make them feel it themselves.
Welcome to the America that you fought for. Where we can refuse to aknowledge you on “moral grounds”. You did this. Your lack of empathy and dehumanization of others did this. Now, you can stick to your “morals” or you can help us fix it. Your choice.

Info from a friend who is a health educator. She posted on FB she says " If you want to share this, feel free to copy and paste. No need to tag me. I just want girls and women to be as empowered as possible, and for the men who care about them to know how to best support them" :
Ella is the most effective hormonal emergency contraception (morning after pill), but it requires a prescription. You can ask now for a prescription and get it filled, to have just in case it’s needed. Also, emergency contraception is not a medical abortion- it prevents pregnancy
Having an IUD inserted within five days of unprotected sex or assault also works as emergency contraception. This is the most effective form of emergency contraception. They work as well on day one as on day five. Make sure to ask your doctor which is best for EC.
Hi Kids! Let's have a little talk about John #Kasich. John may talk all nice and sound all reasonable but his record tells a different story...
As Gov of Ohio Johnny signed every anti-choice bill that came across his desk. Ohio passed 17 women's health restriction and closed nearly half the abortion providers in the state
He is a climate change denier, he cut funding to public schools and supports fracking. He supported charter schools that were mired in controversy
Wow! @marcorubio this is deranged even for you! Let's see if I can remind you of the gross negligence of this "president" and the entire GOP as Americans died
Where to start...well apparently the WH including Trump knew how bad the virus was months before it got here. Didn't tell the states, or the people or make any preparations whatsoever. Guess they were worried about a bad news cycle
When the virus did get here, instead of responding, providing information, and basically acknowledging reality your "president" outright lied "It's going to disappear". Yeah, tell that to NY and NJ...it didn't go away, but I guess that would have been "bad news"
Ok, folks... let's get real about the potential for a vaccine for COVID-19. Even though lots of people have never heard of any coronavirus, there are lots of them.
We have been dealing with coronaviruses in humans and animals for 100s of years. In humans, they cause respiratory illnesses as minor as a cold to severe like the newly described COVID-19
In animals, they cause a variety of diseases including respiratory disease and intestinal diseases. In many cases, such as in infectious bronchitis virus of chickens, the virus causes high morbidity (lots of chickens get infected) and low mortality (only a few die).
The science thing, as well as being a compassionate human being make me completely outraged about the fact that refugees will not receive an influenza vaccine. #Influenza#trumpwillkillusall#ETTD
Flu is nothing to fool around with! In 1918 an influenza pandemic killed at least 50 million people (3% of the world's population)! It infected 500 million people including people in remote areas like the arctic. #Influenza#trumpwillkillusall#ETTD cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-r…
Hi-we are going to see lots of disinformation over the next 18 months. It is devised to get an emotional reaction, enrage is, drain our energy, drain our hope
Yes it’s easy to believe the worst since the GOP has taken us to new lows, but when you see something pitting one Dem candidate against another, claiming the powers that be are suppressing a certain candidates favor of another, be suspicious
Take a deep breath and fact check! @snopes@ushadrons are good places to start. Also follow good peopl on Twitter like @DemWrite@axidentaliberal who write fact based posts based on law and reality
