We are dangerously close to the event horizon of the black hole of fascism. We are running out of time. We cannot afford to wait for the elections. @SpeakerPelosi must act now. This isn’t about political points. It’s about democracy. It is dying more each day. trump must go.
He only cares about what his shallow reflection pool is showing him. Everyday he will further erode our public trust. He will let you die, he will let your kids die, he will let your parents die. He will do nothing to aid your suffering. He will continue to rob our country.
He’ll continue to golf at your expense. He’ll allow his children to continue their grift. He’ll lie to you and tell you it isn’t happening. He’ll imperil your safety, embarrass us abroad, steal your children’s future. He’ll do worse if we let him. We can’t let him Nancy.
We can’t wait it out until the election. Fascism moves too quickly. It burns like a fire through a forest of unraked leaves. It spreads faster than coronavirus. Misinformation, deflection, propaganda, lies, media bashing, gaslighting all of these tools are being employed.
Doing nothing only emboldens. Russia was not punished for election interference so they do more. They place bounties on the heads of our soldiers and again, trump does nothing so they do more still. He is no different. He got caught trying to muscle Ukraine with no consequence.
So he does more. He orders the military to clear the streets and there are no consequences so he does more. He steals the data from the hospitals and delivers it to his cronies and there are no consequences so he does more. We cannot afford to allow him to do more. Impeach him.
Remove him from office. End this nightmare. I am begging you now @SpeakerPelosi we are all begging you now. His treachery, his sedition, his villainy must be thwarted. Once we reach the point of no return, there will be no return. The America we love will be lost.
The America we think we live in will be lost forever. We will no longer have any credibility, we will no longer be a beacon of hope. We will no longer be a refuge for the oppressed. Not one more person need die at his alter of ineptitude. Not one more need die to feed his ego.
.@SpeakerPelosi if Mitch McConnell can hold open a Supreme Court seat for a year, you can impeach again with 4 months to go until the election. It’s your duty to do so. You are duty bound to uphold the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic and sister, we got one.
Impeach #FacistTrump Expose the complicit GOP Senate. Release Senate Intel Committee’s volume 5 of the Counter Intelligence investigation report. End this national nightmare @SpeakerPelosi for we are running out of time. Don’t let democracy die on your watch.

It’s been a while since we’ve used the wayback machine. Let’s see how it holds up on a short trip. We’re going to go on a journey back to a time before trump was president.
Don’t get too excited. It’s to do with aid to Ukraine.
A wee thread🧵👇🏻
On July 28, 2016, in Cleveland at the Republican National Committee, the GOP removed a single issue from their party platform. Essentially, it became trump policy to no longer provide aid to Ukraine.
A delegate said it was taken out by trump’s people.
But that’s a bit awkward because the newly minted GOP Nominee eventually ended up telling Robert Mueller he didn’t recall. Strange because trump, has like a great memory. And his uncle was like, a physicist or something.🤷🏼♂️
There will no doubt be a lot said by smarter people than I about this ruling in the GA v trump et al. case, but I would like to offer two important thoughts I hope they don’t miss.
Firstly, please understand the danger. Look at what just happened. The whole country has been on edge awaiting this ruling because it determined whether or not a former president accused of some gangster shit, might get away with it because of some more gangster shit.
This dude is so dangerous to prosecute, a former GOVERNOR declined to be the special prosecutor because of safety concerns. This dude is so dangerous because he has a dangerous crew. I don’t how to lay this out clearly for people to understand so please bear with me as I try.
Have you heard of Project 2025? It’s a ‘Playbook’. You can read the whole “Mandate” for yourself at this link and I encourage you to do so. *Please* know who you’re voting for in November.
First thing to know: There is a Project 2025. This is important to know. It exists. It’s a plan. It’s coming day one of the next conservative presidency. I am not being hyperbolic. If you are seeing this, it will have some impact on your life. It’s designed to.
This is a Heritage Foundation joint. There are roughly 386 ‘contributors’ to Project 2025 and at least 48 of them are Heritage Foundation. That’s 12% of all contributors give or take some bad eyesight, counting, and maths and unknown crossover organizational alignments.
I was thinking about my dad the other day. He’s still here, he’s fine. I was just thinking about him.
WARNING STRONG LANGUAGE
My dad would tell me stories about guys like his dad. Guys like his dad fought in WWII. Guys like my dad, revered those guys.
A wee thread🧵👇🏻
The only reason the tv set growing up didn’t have the History Channel logo burned into it was because occasionally, I’d watch sports. The history channel had documentary after documentary of WWII. My dad likes the air battles. He would talk about “Those Guys”.
“Those Guys,” he’d say, “Those Guys sat in a bubble OUTSIDE the airplane, Joey!’ “Can you believe that? Imagine how cold it must have been!”
He was referring to the tail gunners on the screen.
You guys…I think I’m going to call it a year. I will begin my final thread of 2024 as I mean to end it, and that is conversationally and with gratitude. Thank you for all your continued dedication to self-determination and democracy.
I’m tired.
A wee 🧵👇🏻
This year was more difficult than last year. Things are getting harder. My balance is getting worse and my body is getting stiffer. I’ve had more falls this year than last. Speaking of falls, it seems more leaves fell in the yard this year than last.
The time change this year and its underreported havoc it wreaks on my medication is worse this year than last. I’ve torn my Achilles and my hamstring this year as opposed to no injuries last.
This is a wee thread. I tell you that now because there is no clever preamble, no fun intro to pique your interest. Just a simple request that you know I lack understand on this topic and make no judgments. I share it so those who can make sense of it hopefully do so.

On December 23rd of 2016, the United Nations adopted UN resolution number 2334. It is here for you to read. Please do so. If you don’t, know the gist is that this UN Security Council resolution stated that Israel’s settlements have no legal validity.
The history of this resolution is one that helps put into context some of what we may be seeing today. At the time, Barack Obama was President and Bibi Netanyahu was Prime Minister of Israel. vox.com/world/2016/12/…
