What we’ve been watching unfold with the @GOP-crime syndicate operating in broad daylight while media outlets pretend we still have two normally functioning political parties IS A FIVE ALARM FIRE for America and represents the biggest threat this nation has ever faced.
🚨 I am not being hyperbolic. We’ve been sounding this alarm FOR YEARS with seemingly NO ONE in any position of authority taking it seriously. EVERY MINUTE that passes without any shred of accountability for this party of criminals, terrorists, & traitors further endangers us all
I understand Biden entered the WH with a MULTITUDE of overlapping crises to address. And I understand his impulse to prioritize vaccines and COVID relief above all else. But we are seeing now the futility of this because the @GOP literally WANTS COVID cases to continue to spike.
But this is not something he can continue to avoid directly addressing out of fear of sounding “partisan.” A MAJOR POLITICAL PARTY WAGING A DISINFORMATION AND PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGN THAT IS COSTING AMERICAN LIVES EVERY SINGLE DAY DEMANDS IMMEDIATE AND RESOLUTE ACTION/CONSEQUENCES.
Garland’s first order of business upon being confirmed was not rocket science. And was FIRING EVERY INDIVIDUAL AT THE DOJ THAT ALLOWED THEMSELVES TO BE USED AS A WEAPON AGAINST TRUMP’S ENEMIES AND A SHIELD TO PROTECT HIM FROM FACING JUSTICE FOR HIS CRIMES.
His 2nd was SEIZING EVERY SINGLE SCRAP OF EVIDENCE that was left behind so that it could be systematically reconstructed PIECE BY PIECE to ensure that EVERYONE involved was brought to justice; starting with Trump, his admin, and ANYONE involved in coordinating/executing Jan 6th
3rd, a competent special counsel (or 4) should have IMMEDIATELY been appointed to investigate the following:
1.) Trump’s crimes in office and those of his @GOP enablers in Congress
2.) His meeting with Putin in Helsinki
3.) Who paid Kavanaugh’s debts?
4.) His incitement of Jan 6
4th, investigations needed to be opened into every @GOP member of Congress who voted to overturn the results of a free and fair election and “acquit” a blatantly guilty monstrosity even after HE INCITED AN INSURRECTION AIMED AT ASSASSINATING ALL OF THEM to illegally reinstall him
Instead, we got nothing but silence from Garland for nearly 6 months until learning that not only did he do NONE OF THIS, but actually seemed to be intent on continuing to DEFEND Trump in the case against him by @ejeancarroll and keeping the DOJ as a shield to obstruct Justice.
The AG must prioritize restoring justice to the DOJ, not obstructing it. THIS IS NOT PARTISAN. If an entire political party conspires to spread dangerous lies that incite deadly terrorist insurrections and kill thousands through disinformation campaigns, THEY MUST BE PROSECUTED.
If Garland doesn’t think it’s the DOJ’s place to involve itself here, he is FUNDAMENTALLY UNFIT to lead the agency and should resign or be replaced IMMEDIATELY. We cannot sit around waiting for another attack, which we empower every day no one is held accountable for the 1st one.
So please tell me @JoeBiden @VP @SpeakerPelosi @SenSchumer @HouseDemocrats @HouseJudiciary what you are currently doing to protect us from an attack that is being waged against us from within the walls of Congress. What steps will you take if Garland refuses to prosecute Trump?
What steps will you take when Republican members of Congress laugh at your subpoenas to appear before your January 6th select committee and testify under oath? We gave you the WH, the House, and even flipped the Senate in 2020 because WE DEMAND JUSTICE FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS
What are you prepared to do to get @SenatorSinema and @JoeManchinWV to abolish the filibuster so we can FINALLY PASS CRITICAL LEGISLATION to curb @GOP corruption, expand voting rights, end gerrymandering, and actually STOP this criminal enterprise from retaking control in 2022?
As the majority of people that worked TIRELESSLY to give you the power you now have, we deserve to know that our voting rights will be secured; that our futures will not be a fascist dystopia plagued by endless disease & disinformation; & that the @GOP will be brought to justice.

The entire ‘abortion debate’ is not about life. No one is “pro-abortion” & most people who call themselves “pro-life” are fine with mass shootings, the death penalty, & lack of mandates for masks/vaccines even after 650K COVID deaths. It’s about women’s rights to bodily autonomy.
I’m sick of this debate being falsely framed as “pro-life” vs “pro-choice.” It’s pro-women’s fundamental rights vs. anti-women’s fundamental rights. When a zygote technically qualifies as a person isn’t relevant; we don’t force people to donate blood or organs to save others.
Why should we have more of a right to make decisions over our own blood, organs, & bone marrow than women do over their uterus after WE impregnate them? Abortion bans don’t even stop abortions; they just increase the likelihood that the women DIE during labor. That’s not pro-life

Justice Sotomayor’s dissent on Texas’ monstrous new abortion ban that flouts all judicial precedent and is flagrantly unconstitutional is
🔥 🔥 🔥 and places her on the record as denouncing this malicious and grotesque injustice in a way that solidifies her advocacy for women.
“The Court’s order is stunning. Presented with an application to enjoin a flagrantly unconstitutional law engineered to prohibit women from exercising their constitutional rights & evade judicial scrutiny, a majority of Justices have opted to bury their heads in the sand.”
“Last night, the Court silently acquiesced in a State’s enactment of a law that flouts nearly 50 years of federal precedents. Today, the Court belatedly explains that it declined to grant relief because of procedural complexities of the State’s own invention.”

The magnitude of delirium/malignant narcissism required to:

—Take credit for an economy you inherited, but blame your total collapse of on your successor

—Take credit for “ending the war in Afghanistan,” but blame the fallout from the terms you negotiated on your successor
—Take credit for a vaccine you had nothing to do with but “no responsibility at all” for the hundreds of thousands who died because of your pandemic response

—Take credit for “building a wall” that was never built while blaming a non-existent “border crisis” on your successor
—Take credit for “eradicating ISIS” yet blame your successor when they attack and kill our troops in Kabul

—Take credit for lack of early case #’s (due to lack of testing) by “taking early action in restricting travel to/from China,” then blaming China when case numbers exploded

To people claiming we “only oppose _______ because we hate Trump”

1. Our hatred of Trump is not something we are ashamed of. He EARNED it by being a loathsome racist traitor who told over 30K lies; CAGED INFANTS; TRAUMATIZED AMERICA; & KILLED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of us.
2. But this does NOT determine if we oppose/support things. We have this ability to actually separate our justified contempt for the psychopathic criminal that used to occupy the WH and still come to rational objective conclusions like taking sheep dewormer for COVID is moronic.
3. This was Trump’s ultimate gaslight (lie); which was that if you disagreed with him on something, it was because you must “hate him” or be biased in some way. His supporters (literal cultists) even coined the term “Trump Derangement Syndrome” to dismiss our concerns as biased.

If you’re pretending the blame for the ongoing disaster of COVID in 🇺🇸 is Biden’s doing, I have a thread just for you. I have multiple actually but here’s the first one (in which I predicted his response would go down as one of the worst ever & would be the end of his Presidency)
Here’s another on how the @GOP has continued Trump’s GALACTICALLY CATASTROPHIC strategy of lie, deny, blame, spread disinformation, discourage/outright ban protective mandates & actively MAXIMIZE deaths which are now preventable with a free vaccine
If you are claiming “Biden must go” or “should be impeached” because Trump sold us out to the Taliban and we’re just now seeing the fallout from it, here’s what impeachable offenses actually look like—not a single one of which prompted a Republican to call for his removal.

The Republican Party and conservative leaders throughout the world have made “vaccine resistance/hesitancy” one of the top 10 threats TO GLOBAL HEALTH. This is a NATIONAL AND GLOBAL EMERGENCY and I’m going to tell you EXACTLY how we got here (Thread) nytimes.com/video/opinion/…
Trump began what would become the @GOP strategy back in Jan of 2020, when he downplayed the threat of the pandemic, lied to the American people about the risks, and continued to golf and hold rallies. I list everything Trump (deliberately) did wrong here:
Trump and the @GOP’s botching & deliberate sabotage of our pandemic response was a CONSCIOUS CHOICE. They CHOSE to politicize a ONCE IN A CENTURY PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS and capitalize on the sizable segment of our population that is susceptible to disinformation for political gain.
