In 2017, Heather Heyer was murdered by a white supremacist while peacefully protesting.
Nearly everyone, with the exception of Donald Trump, condemned her murderer.
Three long years later, Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum were murdered by Kyle Rittenhouse. They were protesting.
Elected republicans are celebrating Rittenhouse. Republican campaign donors helped get him bail.
THAT is the damage Donald Trump has done to our social fabric. He has emboldened the shameless. He has activated the worst of us. He has enabled the hateful.
Shame. Shame. Shame.
Under Donald Trump’s leadership, a thousand baby Stephen Millers bloomed.

Many of my fellow Democrats like to shit on @ProjectLincoln for their pasts as GOP rank & file/supporters/enablers.

Now do you understand why Flint went without clean running water for so many years?
Michigan GOP did that.
To their own constituents.
Using emergency powers.
This is the first thing Big Gretch did after she became Governor, in case you are wondering why all the Michigan militia types hate her so much: freep.com/story/news/loc…
@onetoughnerd used emergency powers to “save money” on Flint water. The emergency manager he appointed switched the source of the water, which caused the damage to the pipes, and the lead poisoning. The cost? Countless kids harmed. And a $641M settlement.

Hey @tedcruz instead of shitposting, use your energy to pass a covid relief bill that will actually help your constituents, who desperately need help getting through this pandemic.
There are refrigerated trucks in El Paso and Las Cruces because the morgues are full. Get to work.
The entire country is desperate. If you really want a shot at 2024, be a fucking hero and pass a covid relief bill. Now.
