THREAD—On Saving Democracy.1/6

Progressives are aware that passage of The $3.5T Human Infrastructure Bill is essential to success of Biden’s Presidency, to keeping control of The House in ‘22, to survival of the planet by fighting the Climate Crisis.
“Moderates” are also aware.
On Saving Democracy 2/6

Progressives are fighting to achieve Biden’s goals.
They call upon “moderates”to keep their word &pass the $3,5T bill together w/the Infrastructure bill.
Moderates are determined to destroy Biden’s plan. They’re a bunch of liars who don’t keep their word.
On Saving Democracy 3/6

Manchin and Sinema both voted FOR the $3.5T budget. Now they renege on reconciliation of the same budget.
On Saving Democracy 4/6

The House Moderates are all disgusting liars. They refuse to support Biden.
They are all now part of The Republican Coup.
Only doing away with the filibuster and passing Votijng Rights can stop The Coup.
Both The Progressives snd Moderates know that.
On Saving Democracy 5/6

Only doing away with the filibuster and passing Voting Rights can stop The Coup.
Both The Progressives snd Moderates know that.
On Saving Democracy 6/6

The “Moderates” all now act to advance The Coup by blocking Biden’s legislation. By doing so they act corruptly. None are patriots.
The “Problem Solvers” should be called co-conspirators.

..Confederate statues..are certainly symbols: they are symbols of an insurrection to overthrow our gov’t, led by men who were traitors &they are symbols of 200-plus years of hate, racism,murder,segregation,disenfranchisement &discriminatory laws.. Image

Not Just Tulsa /2

The brutal massacre of 1921 and Black Wall Street was just one of many. Race massacres were commonplace and are blatantly (and purposefully) ignored in history books.

Here are five race massacres you should be aware of.
