This list ends at the end of the George W. Bush administration.

Quite frankly I just couldn't take it anymore. There's varying reasons these people left the gov't, but mostly is was corruption for money.

18 years of greed and party before country.

9/
I didn't count the names, didn't want to. The point here is that the repubs have been doing this for DECADES. Most of these people were career repubs, respected until not.

Spread this to your local representative, plaster it on a wall somewhere. RT the SHIT out of it.

10/
There's NO CHOICE but to vote blue anymore, and honestly you should see now that there really hasn't been for twenty years.

@SnarkieCupcake said to me last night the problem is our representatives aren't afraid of us anymore; of being voted out.

She's absolutely correct.

11/
We must show these people THEY WORK FOR US.

Make them fear for their jobs, make them KNOW what inaction will cost them.

Make them know that

WE. ARE. THE. MAJORITY.

WE. ARE. LEGION.🇺🇸
Told a guy a work today about this thread on repub corruption.

He says to me, "That's why you get people like Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi."

AFTER I gave him the numbers he said that.

Just simmer on that for a while.

Well my mom died last night.
I had a complex relationship with my mother, who's name was Retha btw. She was a terrible angry drunk, and was drunk by 10AM daily.

I hated her and loved her. I crashed a car getting to her when I thought she was hurt once, yet haven't called her in years.
2/
She was a southern girl through and through. She dolled out advice both good and bad, as all parents do. About sex she told me "Do for her what you think would feel good," but about race it was "Don't bring a black girl home."

This gerrymandering is a huge deal yes, but I'd also point out that the people of Ohio voted on a Constitutional Amendment that would have prevented this, and the GOP just ignored it.

Ignored the will of the people. If that's not already authoritarian I don't know what is.
1/
Same thing happened in Wisconsin. The people of that state voted to participate in the Affordable Care Act and their government just ignored that too, as they AGAIN are gerrymandering themselves into a very lopsided and undeserved majority.
2/
Look at Texas, now an arguably purple state. The policies coming out of that legislative body and executive office are authoritarian to the core. Telling businesses what to do, private citizens what to do.

From the "smaller, less intrusive government" people no less.

Florida's thinking about rescinding measles & mumps vaxx mandates for schools now.

That'll end well.🙄
Proof. Bonus awfulness goes to @SenMannyDiazJr.

He has a Master's in Education Leadership. He knows better, but he'd rather kill off Florida's kids to pander to the base.

A Plea to Congressional Dem Moderates
🧵

Hello y'all, just a regular voter here and I've been wanting to share some thoughts.
1/
#VotingRightsAct
#InfrastructurePackage
#Reconciliation
Let's talk about passing the two infrastructure bills and the #VotingRightsAct for a bit okay? I know the process isn't exactly what you'd like and I know you've got donors who aren't too keen on some of the proposals, like prescription drug prices for instance.
2/
You should know that your recalcitrance is making a lot of folks nervous, and for a myriad of reasons. But polls are showing there's one thing most Americans DON'T care about: the price.

The only people out here that care about the price aren't your voters.

I'm seeing over and over the pandemic has (re)taught us something VERY important: work to live, don't live to work.

I thought maybe I'd thread my thoughts on that, so here we go.
#HowToHuman
1/
Y'all, the work habits of Americans have driven me crazy for years now. I've lost count of how many 60-80 hour a week workers I've talked into toning it down.

"If you're always working how can you enjoy the fruits of your labor?"
2/
And the worst part about it is we've been brainwashed into overworking. Corps have told us since the invention of TV that we're less than if we don't have an extra car, or a too big house. All this enriches THEM, not us.

Yet we keep working our asses off for them.

The Virginia GOP just nominated for governor the hedge fund billionaire ex CEO of The Carlyle Group, who personally hosted Osama Bin Laden's brother at a gala dinner on September 11, 2001.

Because they're the party of "patriots" & the "working class."
The best part about it? They had a train wreck of a primary designed to weed out the trumpies so this guy could win. He played on about "election integrity," but that's the old white supremacist dog whistle party line anyway.
2/
They had a "drive through" primary and required all sorts of numbers and signatures from their primary voters, information which the actual base refused to give, basically en masse.

"Election integrity."
