I am acutely aware that the Biden agenda isn't going as planned or as we've hoped for & while I'm disappointed, I also understand how politics works. As long as we have 2 Dem Senators stalling the Build back Better plan, doing all they could to destroy it, we have a problem ?
& it's not President Biden's fault. Executive orders are temporary, we need legislation. The 2022 mid terms is NOT a time to quit&just allow the GOP to take the House &/or the Senate, the repercussions of that are dire & would make President Biden a lame duck until 2024 if they
win, they've set up to toss our votes. The ONLY way forward is to broaden our majority, make Manchin&Sinema irrelevant, give Pres Biden the majority we didn't in 2020 in order for him to successfully get thru much, if not all he ran on, the win the Presidency in 2024.
This is NO time to be apathetic, sit home, stomp our feet & give up, just the opposite. We either elect more Dems in ALL elections, local, Gov's to House,Senate & legislators or we lose our democracy, FULL STOP. #VoteBlue22and24
We are who can & will save us.
Let's get the majority he needs&make sure he keeps his promises over the next 2 years!
Check your registration status often as they've been purging people from the rolls. Vote early! Have ID if ur state requires it. Know ur rights as a voter. Stay ON LINE even when polls close.
DROP off ur ballot if possible, mail is still purposely slow (he can't fire DeJoy, only board of Gov's can & 2 are up this year). Our Supreme Court again is still on the ballot, our rights, ALL of them are on the ballot, democracy is on the ballot, more so then ever.
Do NOT stay home, no matter how disappointed we may be, remember the House&Senate matter, with a 3 vote margin in the House & 2 Dems tanking his agenda in the Senate, the ONLY way out is to give him the majority necessary, the one he didn't get in 2020.
Do we REALLY want McConnell as leader again & McCarthy holding the gavel?
๐งตI posted this yesterday after I heard the devastating news at 8am, I gasped feeling such sadness. Like so many, I didn't always agree with General Powell however I,like many,had the deepest respect for this man who was the first of so much,lived with such integrity & grace
RIP General Colin Powell, thank you for your service. I may not have agreed with many decisions, however I am thankful for your service to our country. My deepest condolences to his family. May your memory be a Blessing.
"Colin Powell, military leader and first Black US
secretary of state, dies after complications from Covid-19"
And before the nut jobs go on a rant about the vaccinations not working, let's remember something,although fully vaccinated, he was 84 with comorbidities, he battled& Multiple Myeloma & Parkinsons however
๐งต 1/6 Women&supporting men, WE MUST EXPAND our majority in 2022, despite their roadblocks! No excuses! Everyone MUST vote Democrat across the board from now thru then&beyond. School board, Governor, legislators,Judges,Congress!
White women, esp those who STILL vote REPUB, STOP!
2/6 STOP VOTING AGAINST YOUR INTERESTS This WILL worsen,birth control is next! End the patriarchy, 50 yrs ago women fought for our choice! You choose no abortion,that's fine,however NO ONE should choose for any of us but us,that's what Roe guarantees, incl BIRTH CONTROL ALL KINDS
3/6
If God forbid your child/young adult is raped, she should be forced to keep it adding to the TRAUMA?
Menopausal women have an oops, we be forced to keep it? Unviable outside womb pregnancies should be forced to birth?Miscarriages will be scrutinized,1/3 women miscarry!
THREAD
Debate,is it real YES he has bloated depends,pants are prob pull up elastic or backwards. I took screenshots from Cspan where BTW THEY showed entire rambling full on lying speech.
I brightened this shot,pants are SUPER LONG, VERY wrinkled. Vid link c-span.org/video/?512280-โฆ
My guess, he forgot to keep it buttoned, he never liked his jackets closed. You can see button closed, then he opened it. On Cspan he's blabbering about escalator, lies about border, schools 'indoctrinating' kids protesting lying, lies about Biden etc
He also came out with jacket buttoned, I watched him unbutton it after entrance during stupid clapping & pacing while song was playing. My guess, he forgot to keep it buttoned, he never liked his jackets closed. 2nd pic u see he unbuttons it
An excellent explanation by .@glennkirschner2 I still have many questions.
THREAD!
Glenn, thank you for your very detailed explanation of the 'law' in regards to what falls within the President's right to be protected. My question or questions are, why did he NEED to do that,
in that moment and use such a violent way of doing it? Why didn't they peacefully have the activists moved out the way IF he felt it so necessary for this photo op,which we all know was BS. Why would the DOJ request it to be dismissed knowing that although a President has a right
to be protected, he purposely did that, as you mentioned & we all know, for a photo of that could have certainly waited. It appears, as usual he abused his limited immunity & the power he held. So while I understand & agree this should be litigated & a deposition should be done,
1/3 I joke now, all vaccinated shld be wearing a V so people around us can feel safe. I uploaded the NYS wallet &verified my fully vaccinated self, I have a scan code(GIVES NO PVT INFO),so I can(when ready)pull out my phone & show it, also printed it off. epass.ny.gov/home
2/3 4 anyone in NYS &want to go to a game,concert or prove you're vaxxed w/o needing a covid swab everything,it's easy. Print, screenshot,&/or upload ur proof(I hid dob &scan code)it ONLY proves I'm vaxxed, no pvt info but DOB,like driver's license
3/3
Renews easily every 180 days!
We want a sense of 'normal', it needs to begin somewhere,this is it. I'll also make flying & more easy. No HIPPA violation since absolutely NO pvt info shared, just says you're vaxxed & show driver's license or state ID to prove this is u.

@melissadderosa 1/3 VERY IMPORT
.@melissadderosa respectfully my Neurologist who is with .@nyulangone has said I should be vaccinated ASAP. Before we play God by defining who is immunocompromised, it's broad. I have MS, am on immunosuppressive medications & catching a stomach virus put me in
@melissadderosa@nyulangone 2/3
rehab& hosp 4 two months. People with MS can't recover & getting Covid can kill us & will definitely cause permanent increased disabilty, as a stomach virus did to me in 2015. I have lack of sensation in hands & arms. The older we get with MS the harder to recover, I'm 56...
@melissadderosa@nyulangone I'm on an immunosuppressive med monthly, besides the obvious health risk of Covid, there's also a devastating MS progression risk as well. We MUST have access sooner than later. Single mom of 3, getting covid, I won't recover. NY has highest MS pop out of a million in country.
