I'm sick of trying to convince people that humanity and decency is more important than their cult leader and their cowardly political party
You still support trump? Still making excuses?
Congrats.
You'd be making excuses for Jews disappearing off the streets of Poland and Germany. You'd be informing the SS of where your former neighbors were hiding with their families. 6 million deaths wouldn't faze you because your leader told you the Jews were taking away what was yours.
You'd be saddling up to fight to keep your slaves. Defending centuries of racism upon which this country was built. This is your place in history.
I'm not being mean. I'm telling you. This is who you've proven yourself to be and it's heartbreaking for the rest of us to watch.
We don't take pleasure from watching your moral decline. We mourn the loss of you. Or who we thought we knew.
This is who you are. You've proven it time and again. Nothing is too outrageous or egregious from your guy. You excuse every word and action by deflecting blame.
You were OUTRAGED when Black people protested police brutality and the murders of Black Americans by police.
How dare they kneel during the National Anthem? How dare they peacefully protest or cause damage in their own neighborhoods as an outlet for centuries of pain and rage?
What? Racism isn't a thing anymore. You all spoke on the subject as if YOU knew how it feels to live in a country which does everything imaginable to hold people down and punish them because of their skin color.
And now, your lying cheating stealing excuse for a president lost the election and is unable to produce any evidence of fraud. Every single court has thrown out his false claims, but you believe his wheedling cries of unfairness. He's so persecuted.
A fucking white billionaire who was born into wealth is being attacked by the entire world??? Everyone is lying and wrong except for one orange man? You believe this but not that white privilege is real?
You excuse the violent attack on our Capitol last week? Who are you?
Those pigs didn't destroy their own shit. They attacked all of us. They attacked police. Because they're too blind to see that trump is a narcissistic liar. They feel persecuted. HOW?
They attacked our elected officials who were there to do their jobs -- certify a legal election
The ONLY indications that the election wasn't legal were the spurious lies spread by trump.
Now you're making excuses and supporting lies about the terrorists who defiled OUR House. They were your brethren. They weren't in disguise.
They also support trump &believe he's the only person on the planet who speaks truth. You do know he's refusing to submit DNA in a defamation case in which he was accused of raping a woman, right? That seems innocent, doesn't it? What leader wouldn't want to clear their name?
The bottom line is you're either tragically brainwashed or too arrogant to admit you were wrong & trump really is as bad as we've been trying to warn you.
None of you wanted to listen. You preferred playing the "what about" game & crying about fake news & both sides being bad.
Guess what? There are no both sides. There is sedition, white nationalism, the KKK, domestic terrorists, trump and his disgusting cronies and then there is decency. Do you think there were both sides in Nazi Germany?
News flash, there weren't. Sometimes shit is right or wrong.
You're wrong.
I'm not judging you. I'm trying to help you before you have no soul left. It's probably too late
Read the 14th Amendment. Every politician who supported, promoted and aided in the attack last week should be removed from office. Now
Because the Constitution says so
You know, the one you all claim to defend
Like I said, no two sides
Right & wrong aren't sides. They're moral positions
Own yours if your cult membership is more important than being a decent person
Please know there is no longer any part of you which can be considered patriotic
You lost that honor when you stopped caring about the 375,000 people who died from Covid in our country. Masks infringe on your liberty, right? I wonder how many people will die as a result of the super spreader Capitol attack?
PS YouTube videos aren't news
Covid is real, deadly & highly contagious. Every legit doctor & scientist on the planet agrees.
Take care
I'll embrace unity once the perpetrators of the terror attack & the organizers & enablers are prosecuted #MAGATerrorism#Maga#ArrestTrumpNow

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to

I’m asking a favor. Even if you don’t like me. Even if you hate my opinions.
PLEASE read this and consider what I’m saying. If you find some truth here, please retweet. This is a CALL TO ACTION for all resisters
On the matter of impeachment:
-The House has the power to Impeach
-Only the Senate has the power to remove potus from office
-without removal from office, impeachment is a slap on the wrist
-assuming that trump will care about impeachment is questionable logic
-impeachment without removal from office will do NOTHING to stop trump’s destruction of our country
-impeachment proceedings take a LONG time
-The House started official impeachment proceedings a few weeks ago
-Nadler announced this
-Nancy Pelosi’s job is to oversee the House
I have a few helpful hints for newer resisters or anyone who cares to listen. I’m not a “twitter censor” as I was called earlier this evening
I want to help resisters build their accounts and I’m tired of seeing friends suspended.
🔹When you @ someone in a tweet or reply, it’s called “snitch tweeting”
Some people do it intentionally. Some do it to cause chaos. Some do it because they don’t realize that every time you @ someone, it notifies them of the thread. It also attracts trolls.
They are everywhere
They LIVE to mass report us. Please, think twice before you invite them into any thread. You can refer to someone without @ them.
🔹Retweet each other. Twitter is designed for us to amplify each other’s voices
🔹Don’t call ANYONE names. Any name. Easy suspension to avoid.
My last doom and gloom post of the day, but it’s important
We all knew he would burn down the house when the end was near. That’s what he’s doing. Now we have to stay calm, keep pressure on our Members of Congress & Resist with all we have
Once that report is released, he’s done
What we are witnessing is dangerous.
The firing of anyone who won’t pledge loyalty, expansion of detainment camps (who are they for?), refusal to hand over info, attempt to start war in the Middle East, dog whistle to neo-Nazis by misstating that his father was born in Germany
Now we see a travel warning for immigrants & POC in Florida
I’m asking you to do a few things EVERYDAY until we successfully defeat him:
🔹Call your MOC 202-224-3121
Demand release of the report
Demand separation of families stop
Demand taxes released
🔹Be prepared to March in DC
A random historical footnote: People you may not know about, but probably should. By Robert Peeples
When Frances Perkins was a little girl she asked her parents why nice people could be poor.
Her father told her not to worry about those things, and that poor people were poor because they were lazy and drank. Eventually she went to Mount Holyoke College and majored in physics. In her final semester she took a class in American economic history.
She toured the mills along the Connecticut River to see working conditions. She was horrified.
Eventually, instead of teaching until she married, she earned a masters in social work from Columbia University. In 1910 Perkins became Executive Secretary of the NYC Consumers League.
