"People of color won the White House and Congress for the Democrats. The Democrats must repay them by protecting them and treating white supremacist state violence as an urgent crisis. There must be swift accountability." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/joe-manc…
"Children of color are learning that they are growing up in a country where they can expect to be hunted down in something as routine as a traffic stop. The daily trauma shows how sick and fragile our democracy is." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/joe-manc…
"Police forces in the US were created to hunt down enslaved people who risked their lives to escape to freedom. America's history of genocide against Black people has been normalized and remains continuous." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/joe-manc…
"Biden and Democrats must act with everyday urgency with the little time they have left. White supremacy has laid the groundwork to steal the 2022 election, and after that, we may never get democracy back." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/joe-manc…
"If Dems do not pass voting rights laws and protect human rights, future generations will look back at Biden, Schumer and Pelosi as those who could have done more when they had the chance, but who failed to treat the decline of our democracy as a crisis." patreon.com/posts/joe-manc…

"Joe Manchin is an enigma wrapped in a riddle wrapped in money. His mantra is 'I don’t give a shit, you understand? I just don’t give a shit.' That's a direct quote from him. By his own admission, he doesn't care about his job." -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/joe-manc…
"This may be why Manchin continues to oppose the filibuster which would allow voting rights laws to be enacted, even though the lack of voting rights laws would almost certainly cost him his Senate seat. He doesn't care if he stays." patreon.com/posts/joe-manc…
"Manchin likes to define himself as a true centrist – but it is impossible to be a 'centrist' when the other party is an authoritarian cult. You are merely a cult enabler, far more to the right than you see yourself as being." -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/joe-manc…
"Yes, we no longer have a Kremlin asset mobbed-up sociopath plague fiend and nuke fetishist as POTUS, but his criminal backers are still running around free.
"Getting rid of Trump did not get rid of the core problems, much as his win did not create them." patreon.com/posts/joe-manc…
"As we’ve long stated on @gaslitnation, it’s the operators behind the scenes – the oligarchs, the mafias, the money-and-blood drenched right-wing fanatics – who are the true source of control over the American body politic." patreon.com/posts/joe-manc…
"In Saudi Arabia, social realities have changed dramatically but social norms have not. The kind of regime did not. The kind of alliances did not. Whenever this happens, there's going to be trouble." -- @iyad_elbaghdadi on @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/middle-e…
"MBS is not really attempting reform. All he is attempting to do is vanquish his own family and come up on top as the new autocrat and absolute ruler of Saudi Arabia." patreon.com/posts/middle-e…
"During the Arab Spring, dictators were absolutely terrified. And it is their paranoia over a democratic transition that continues to drive their hysteria to this day. Dictators paint themselves into a corner with blood." -- @iyad_elbaghdadipatreon.com/posts/middle-e…
"The FBI has a white supremacy crisis under Christopher Wray. They could have stopped the Capitol attack and didn't. This refusal is rooted in the Federalist Society's desire to uphold white supremacy. Why has Biden kept Wray in power?" -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/sleeper-…
"On January 5, we announced a @gaslitnation special episode to talk about the January 6 violence, because we knew it was coming. We told you months before that it was coming -- the place, the date. We told you, and the FBI did not." -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/sleeper-…
"The FBI saw the Capitol attack coming -- after all, it was publicly announced by the perpetrators -- and either decided to look the other way or look on with approval." -- @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/sleeper-…
"Hitler and the nazis came to power because conservative leaders helped them and refused to do anything to stop them, even as they dismantled democracy. The nazis were used by the Mitch McConnells of their day." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/sleeper-…
"The German conservatives' hatred of the left and love of power brought a mass-murderer to the helm. They knew who Hitler was; he was already infamous. They were not naive: they just loved power, and hated the left." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/sleeper-…
