1 Historian’s thread: you may wake up to see the seditious GQP trying to deflect attention from their vote enabling a violent coup by disinformation as usual. So create a faux controversy over an innocuous tweet? Well what is Memorial Day all about?
2. The origins of Memorial Day lie in former enslaved people decorating the graves of Union Army soldiers in the south. So when @GOP protects and defends armed barbaric insurrectionists flying the Confederate battle flag we know which side they are on!
3. When you defile everything that American patriots and veterans fought and died for why not lie and misinform? Their evil little hearts were so upset to see the MVP become the first woman to address the US Naval academy commencement to great acclaim. So let us race bait her!
4. When you are Putin’s puppies and cannot even vote for a bill to strengthen cyber and national security you just lose all credibility as uber American patriots. You try and cover up your treason by deflection.
5. So this Memorial Day weekend let us call out the traitors to American democracy hell bent on overthrowing the republic. Let us make sure that they go the way of all its enemies, it’s the best way to honor the sacrifices of the veterans. Finis.

Thread from a historian of the Civil War and Reconstruction, my unsolicited advice to @DNC 1. Trump should be either impeached or removed through the 25th amendment as already agreed but @SenatorHawleyMO@tedcruz should be expelled when we have a majority.
2. All Senate and House @GOP Representatives and Senators who challenged the Electoral College results should be censured. Eventually we need an amendment to get rid of the EC!
3. All @GOP Congressmen complicit in the attack in the Capitol should be criminally prosecuted and like Trump barred from holding any high office under the 14th amendment.
@VP full of so many historical errors and revisionist views of Reconstruction that I am forced into a thread of correction! Not surprising to see him defend a racist buffoon like Johnson. Let me refer you to an opposing point of view nytimes.com/2019/11/29/opi…
@VP 1. JFK changed his mind about Reconstruction when he was forced to send federal troops to desegregate Ole Miss. Not clear if he even wrote Profiles in Courage or whether it was ghost written.
@VP 2. Ross was not a profile in courage, he was bribed for his vote. Like the @VP sold his soul to the devil.
