"Sometime a labor I would like to see legal, we're making illegal. We're doing two things. We're creating a society of really honorable, decent, loving people that are in violation of the law, and exacerbating relations with Mexico. -George Bush 1980
#Immigrants 🧵
They have a problem with 40-50% unemployment. Now this cannot continue without the possibility arising where can we have trouble below the border and we can have a hostile and strange neighbor to the south" -Ronald Regean 1980
As was customary in a time of intelligence they suggested solutions.
George Bush suggested improving relations as these were good, strong and caring people.
Reagen said "Rather than talking abojt putting up a fence, why dont we work out an understanding of our mutual problems"..
..."make it possible for them to come here legally with a work permit, and then while they're working and earning here they pay taxes. And then they can go back and we open the border both ways" -Ronald Regean

See? There was a time we disagreed how, but we DID want it to happen
This was a Republican Party that acknowledged that the overwhelming majority of people wanting to come here just want a viable option to feed their families. They acknowledged that eliminating legal avenues will only make them HAVE to come illegally, and we shouldn't want that
Take a moment to learn. Here these words, and then compare the intolerance, hatred and division born in 2016 from the same party...and condemn it.

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
Have you ever really stopped to really analyze this quote by George Santayana? Have you thought about it this way? #SaturdaySocial 🧵
George Santayana wrote this quote in 1905. 1905! Think about this a moment. This quote about the importance of remembering history so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past was written before WWI and WWII. We were slow to learn, but learn we did.
We saw the past and remembered it so it could not be repeated. We called out instances in which it seemed like it was coming back. Nobody wants another Nazi Germany. We must learn, however, that just like a virus that mutates, the danger may look a bit different each time.

A briet history of despicable Donald Trump moments that should have ended Republican support but didn't: 🧵
#fridaymorning
1) When the public found out about Trump on tape saying he would grab women by their P***y without their consent, the GOP was only upset that it was released. They demanded accountability....of the person that released it...not the person that showed ZERO respect.
2) When we found out he stole classified documents and the FBI was forced to execute a search warrant to get them back, Republicans only cared about the FBI having to execute a search warrant...not the hundreds of times Trump was asked to return the classified documents??

Control. That is what the so-called "Freedom" loving GOP is running on. They simply want CONTROL but they call it Freedom. There is nothing else they want. What else do they run on? Election fraud? Womens rights? Patriotism? Being Christian? Oh well, allow me: #tuesdayfiction
So, election fraud right? Well, let me tell you what the GOP has done with their control over THAT. They have accused Dems of stealing an election all while getting themselves arrested for trying to....steal elections. #VoteBlueForSoManyReasons
bostonherald.com/2022/09/14/gop…
Not enough? Oh well, lets continue.
They want control SO BAD they apparently sat and watched as many bad procedural cop shows as they could and tried to hold a repairman at gun point to prove a non-existent voter fraud. Why? Well, to get CONTROL back of course. #Vote

"He must have come from some broken place which would have caused him to go on a journey like this by himself"
-Actor Scarlett Johansson upon finding out the origin of her ancestors that came to America in 1910 searching for a better life.
Think about this a moment:
Her story is like so many stories we see today. People coming to America with no money, but their pockets, hearts and soul are full...of hope. The story becomes one of triumph over adversity...until we say its from Mexico. Then Republicans call it an invasion. Smh
Scarletts family story is so similar to many today. Those that stayed behnid in 1910 were in Poland in 1939 when Hitler came. We all know the sad and horrible story of what happened. It is not such a leap to understand the cartels in Mexico and dictators elsewhere do the same

Republicans want you to be uneducated. Why? so when they tell you a lie you cannot come at them with evidence. Here are a few examples:
1) Republicans told you that Covid19 precautions were akin to slavery and that masks were akin to child abuse.
An EDUCATED individual would know masks are worn in surgeries, by medical personnel, and NIOSH has shown their effectiveness against bacterial and viral particles
2) Republicans claimed an election was stolen and they wanted u to take the Capitol by force
An EDUCATED person watched Donald Trump say: "if you dont fight like hell you wont have a country anymore" and watched court case after course case end in dismissal = TRUMP LOST/NO FRAUD

Do you know what should insult, upset and enrage Republicans and Americans in general with @RonDeSantisFL ?
The man has a degree in HISTORY, a law degree, AND served in the military but does everything he can to invalidate, attack and dishonor all three. #sundayvibes
He has a law degree and, despite knowing full well there is no scientific or legal basis for overturning Roe, he has helped attack women and take their options.

....one degree wasted
He has a degree in History which means he is aware of the good AND bad in Americas past. He KNOWS knowledge if History is the only way to prevent repetition of our worst moments, but he attacks teaching

SECOND degree wasted
