1. Any members of Minneapolis PD, incl. SWAT team attended Jan. 6, 2021 #Insurrection as part of Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, Patriot Front, III Percenters, etc?
It’s a public safety issue pursuant to the oath they took to perform their job, which takes super-priority over any first amendment rights they forfeited when…

RNC executive leadership is attempting to insidiously re-brand as “legitimate public discourse” to provide cover for people like these 4 Seattle Police Department officers.
If I were a Seattle resident I would demand to know for the safety of my family, friends, self and community. Also, by potentially having SPD Officers on the street protected…
@deenafaywinter@equalityAlec@griffonatrix@SadLawBoy behind this veil of secrecy and silence, the Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz, Office of Public Accountability and Police Union are creating unfathomable liability and risk for the City of Seattle should a use of force incident occur involving any one of these officers.
@CourtneyBanks I will humbly and proudly tell you I was on the Biden bus from wire-to-wire.
Not because I started off rah, rah, rah Joe Biden. I look at the path, I did the math. I took as much emotion out of it as I could, my answer no matter how impossible it looked was the same.

@CourtneyBanks Did I have doubts, absolutely. Was I certain, nope. HOWEVER, I was 100% sure Joe Biden was the only Democrat the would beat the Maniac of Mayhem.
I’d go into an app, “Electoral Map” and update, I kept a spreadsheet with all the candidates. Even before anyone announced…

@CourtneyBanks I went to see then former VP Biden on his “Promise Me, Dad” book tour. I think I was pretty convincing because he remembered me when I saw him next at his first big fundraiser in our area.
I told him if he didn’t run, we wouldn’t beat former guy. He’d have to live with…

@22AdeleCOYS@JaneMayerNYer@NewYorker is at an all time low. The democracy doomsday clock shows 11:55:59 pm. Justice Thomas rulings are clear he opines for the “imperial presidency” so long as a Republican holds power when a bench ruling is made.
Still, a Black man, from the segregated south, I neglected to…

@22AdeleCOYS@JaneMayerNYer@NewYorker view him as a Libertarian advocating for “state’s rights” as Ginni Thomas’s email exchange with DeSantis’s office seem implies.
It’s a bridge far too far. It’s “Stockholm Syndrome” run amuck. Does Justice Thomas see a white man when he looks in the mirror? All kidding aside.

@din_nw@WhiteHouse It’s war. We elect Presidents to make and accept the consequences for extremely difficult decisions most of us would not have the heart, stomach or comprehension to know where to initiate the first step.
President Biden had the guts to end a war his predecessors didn’t.

@din_nw@WhiteHouse Was it smooth sailing? Hell no. Have we yet seen the worst? Surely not. Here’s what you can take to the bank and cash a check on. The 20-year war in Afghanistan is OVER. Gen. McKenzie said it best, “The mission is accomplished.”
I respect the President Biden for ending it.
2/
@din_nw@WhiteHouse Not because he kept his word. It’s because we had no business in Afghanistan after we took out Osama bin Laden. The “Axis of Evil” was built on a lie. Former First Lady Laura Bush’s efforts on behalf of helping Afghani women gain freedom and independence were noble, I guess.

@peterbakernyt@chipgoines Warning: 🧵
Problem with current MSM reporting. It refers to “Biden team’s cold political calculation about getting Americans out of Afghanistan and not evacuating Afghanis…” Makes it sound inhumane.
Same mainstream media is normalizing the murder of Americans in America…

3/ @RepRaskin I’m confident this will clear up doubt some GOP Senators have about when Trump knew Pence was evacuated, and how long it took from that point for Trump to call for an end to the #Insurrection. What time was Ofcr Brian Sicknick beaten, Ashli Babbitt killed, were
