.@JoeBiden stated in his SOTU speech that the biggest threat facing America today was from within. He’s right. And he needs to stop mincing words and call out the @GOP for what is is: the party of domestic terrorism, sedition, violence, fascism, bigotry, and the end of democracy.
—He must use every lever at his disposal to pass the FTPA
—He must call out Republicans for betraying their oaths and enabling a sociopathic demogague whose actions killed over half a million Americans
—We march, donate & campaign to keep the house and expand our senate majority
—There is no value nor purpose in seeking bipartisanship with traitors, liars, insurrectionists, racists & conspiracy theorists
—We need grassroots campaigns to combat GOP voter suppression laws in every state
—We need to register every single American who turned 18 since 2020
—I’ve been watching the @GOP sink further into the abyss of unsalvagable depravity and right wing extenism for decades. They have no interest in or regard for the people who put them in office & pay their salaries. Instead of appealing to voters, they pass laws to restrict voting

“Russia hoax” = The Kremlin waging cyberwarfare against the U.S. to install a puppet into the WH in 2017 and having a completely compromised @GOP to enable his endless crimes & dismemberment of federal agencies. Anyone still pushing this as a hoax IS SPREADING RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA
Our country has reached a grim milestone. Over 600K Americans have died from COVID—a magnitude of loss we’ve never faced in our lifetimes. Linked is an invaluable Guide that lists the best internet resources available for grieving individuals (THREAD). covidgriefresources.com
This Guide includes resources to help the bereaved manage painful emotions, build resilience, stay connected to others, develop coping skills, and practice self-care. There is also material on ways to help others who are grieving, such as the best and worst things to say to them.
Nearly 4 million people have died as a result of the pandemic. Tens of millions have lost loved ones. This represents a tsunami of suffering. The bereaved must also bear the weight of collective grief; in which the distress we see all around us intensifies our own.
We’re past the point of being “alarmed,” “disheartened,” or “disappointed.” We are in a battle for democracy against a party that has made it clear for decades that they oppose it and will do everything they can to extinguish it because it’s the only way they can maintain power.
The @FBI and most of our other intelligence agencies are already investigating Jan 6th and are well aware of the complicity of @GOP Congress members. @HouseDemocrats should still conduct their own and force every Republican to testify under oath in front of the entire nation.
Drag every @GOP member who voted against the commission or abstained from the vote in front of the cameras and force them to either explain themselves to the people who elected them under oath, commit perjury (another federal offense) or resign and face charges for sedition.
Vaccine hesitancy is something that impacts more people than just Trump supporters. If you ever were or remain more open to the idea of injecting bleach into your lungs than the vaccine into your arm, you’re not someone who can be reasoned with. This thread is for everyone else.
Most of us can’t comprehend how anyone could still be hesitant. COVID has killed nearly 600K Americans while the vaccine has killed ZERO. I hear you. But since nearly 1/3 of American adults are in this category, I’m going to try to get through to them anyway.
If we’re going to convince anyone in this group, lumping them all together as hopeless morons is not the answer. Many are not stupid but simply don’t understand the development process; how vaccines work; or are afraid of adverse reactions or long-term side effects.
Trump is basically saying “who me? Incite violence?” while continuing to promote the same lie that incited the insurrection that killed 5 people. Jan. 6th was not a “one time occurrence.”
TRUMP. INCITED. VIOLENCE. CONSTANTLY. EVEN. AS. A. NOMINEE.
Things that set dangerous outrageous precedents:
—Allowing a POTUS to commit endless crimes for 4 years
—Voting to keep him in office after he tried to extort Ukraine to interfere in our election
—Not holding ANY @GOP member of Congress accountable for their role in Jan 6th
—Voting to overturn the results of a free and fair election
—Endorsing Trump’s big lie that the election was “stolen” and Biden is not the legitimate President (Biden is, Trump never was)
—Voting to acquit him after he called on his cultists to storm the Capitol, killing 5 people
—Enabling a President to ignore science, downplay the risks of a pandemic, call it “a hoax,” and do nothing for 75 days leading to over HALF A MILLION American deaths
—Allowing GOP governors to ignore or repeal mask mandates
—Encouraging people not to get vaccinated
