Long important thread alert. Today, trump gave away the game again. He is actively working to destroy the sanctity of a free American election by undermining the USPS. He admitted it and now Congress must act to #Impeach him for it.
🧵
We have the chance for a new America.
To have the America we think America is. We have the chance to decide who we are as a nation. We have been given that chance by the most brazenly corrupt president in our history.
#Impeach
trump has gaslit the nation into believing in his image of success. He built a character. It is a facade. He is cosplaying what a child would think was a successful businessman turned president. Because he is still a child. His niece told us.
#Impeach Image
He is a beer commercial. He uses our history as props in his show. He doesn’t respect the fight that resulted in civil rights speeches given in front of the Lincoln Memorial. He just wants the photo op.
#Impeach Image
He doesn’t care about your beliefs. He gassed us. He dispersed peaceful protestors to get a photo op with an unopened bible in front of a church he does not attend.
#Impeach Image
He is literally telling us he will not fund the constitutionally mandated USPS because they will bring millions of ballots to voters. He would not try to stop people from voting if he thought they were voting for him.
#Impeach Image
He knows he can’t win without cheating. He told us in the first election ‘it’s rigged folks’ but this truth among the lies was not heeded. He was rigging it the last time. By not expanding mail-in voting during a pandemic and not funding the USPS, he is rigging it now. #Impeach
He created a system where the professionals in charge of democratic institutions have been forced out, fired, relieved of duties, some simply could not take anymore of the nefarious activities and had to leave. Replaced by true believers. Those who would do his bidding. #Impeach Image
Former chief of Staff John Kelly said as much when he told trump ‘not to hire a yes man, you’ll be impeached.’ He hired a yes man in Mick Mulvaney and he was indeed impeached. He deserves to be impeached again. #Impeach Image
The GOP let him off. For them, it’s not about trump trampling the institutions, it was about judges and undoing anything done by Obama. They stacked the courts with their ideology for generations. It’s a smash and grab on women’s rights, civil rights, lgbtqa rights. #Impeach Image
In so doing, they sold their souls. They sold out our country. Just as Judge Sullivan said about Michael Flynn. trump acts as a narcissist with a personality disorder. A toddler sits in the most powerful position in the world. Are we truly acquiescing to this?
#Impeach Image
A country founded on the principled stance that a tyrant will not stand here. We shall have no kings. We decide our own fate as a free society. We do not bend the knee. We the people decide. And it is decision time.
#Impeach
Do we want more of this? Do we want soldiers and unknown, unnamed, unaccountable paramilitary troops in our streets? Do we want to see protestors forced to make hostage videos denouncing peaceful protests like we have seen in Belarus?
#Impeach Image
Is that the America we are? Is that the role we wish to play? Extras in a one man show? Do we want a cosplay president devoid of human empathy? Devoid of facts and incapable of executing the office he holds? America deserves better than that.
#Impeach
When you see a stain, you scrub it ‘til it’s gone. #Impeach trump for Obstruction of Justice, for failure to faithfully execute his Oath, for inviting and taking advantage of foreign influence in our elections. Impeach him for the high crime of not preserving our postal service.
Impeach him for the high crime of not protecting us from the coronavirus as is required by his Oath. Impeach him for the high crime of enriching himself through his office by charging tax payers for his golf trips to his properties.
#Impeach
Most importantly, Impeach him because it is our duty to do so. When democracy is under attack, the only ones who can save it is us. Congress has a duty to hold the Executive accountable.
#Impeach
#ImpeachTrumpAgain
I implore you to get in this fight. Call your Congress person, call your Senators. Tell them it is time to scrub this stain. It is time to impeach trump and his enablers. It is time to separate those who would do us harm from those who would see the republic survive.
#Impeach Image
United we stand, divided we fall. Impeachment is election security. It is time to rise up and stand united. Wear a mask, wash your hands, vote.
#Impeach

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.

npr.org/2017/12/04/568…
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.

Full ruling linked below.

Celebrity appearances not endorsements.
🧵👇🏻

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.

Roughly 25 things to know about Project 2025

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.

A wee thread🧵👇🏻

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/…
