I will say this succinctly:

This imp is dangerous but unlike 2016, this thing is not alone. This hate & renewed racism under the guise of “parental choice” is a cancer that has infiltrated the ENTIRE Republican Party. It LOUDLY exists at every level of government now.

1/
And don’t be deceived, what it just said IS outrageous. It’s racist, xenophobic, homophobic & authoritarian. But you thinking that ANY of that will stop people from voting this thing or more importantly its plans is the trick. A hair over 74 MILLION lost souls voted for this.
2/
And since it lost & fermented that deadly insurrection, it has only become more determined to get back in office to complete its work. This is a view of Hitler in 1932. In this vid, it is telegraphing what 2024 & beyond will be like, just as it did with #ThisAmericanCarnage

3/
Don’t forget that at the time it described its hellscape version of America at its “inauguration”, we were in a place of relative safety, racial peace & economic stability in this nation.

It destroyed ALL of that in 4 years just as it planned. Remember that. It was a plan.

4/
In that video it shares its NEW plan for all of us. To: Steal. Kill. Destroy. Those 3 things always.

And get this, it’s not just THIS vile cretin’s plan. Look at #DeathSantis in Florida. Same hate targeted at the same groups. It’s pervasive.

5/
And now a word about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion…

Please remember two things about these programs:

1) They seek EQUALITY not preferential treatment. These programs seek to END the preferential treatment white folks — especially white males —have enjoyed since 1492.

6/
2) They began in the 1960’s during the civil rights movement & were reinvigorated here after we were all home — because of that imp’s mismanagement of a pandemic he was warned about — & witnessed a Black man’s murder w/ our own eyes.

It was a NEEDED RESPONSE to that horror.

7/
History teaches that the hateful, racist, greedy & power-hungry people among us can’t be trusted to care about others.

That’s why guard rails like DEI programs were put in place.

That’s also why the FULL story of America needs to be taught in schools.

This isn’t hard.

8/
And yep, I realize this thread is now anything but succinct. 🫠 But it all had to be said.

I never thought I’d ever need to be this vocal & focused on politics. I’m a Light-hearted, playful chick. I like to make folks laugh.

But we can’t laugh our way thru this danger.

9/
I heard #TaNehisiCoates say “If voting didn’t matter, why do so many rich people do it?”

Liiisten…2 groups who NEVER miss an election are the rich & the white. Why is that? Because they know WHO is in office — at EVERY level of government — matters.

Do YOU know that?

10/
Back to that imp’s video…

The thing that galled me even more than its announced plan to basically take us all back to segregation & confederate flags, is its dismissal of our ALREADY hard-working and criminally UNDER-paid teachers.

11/
The mere INSINUATION that those UNSUNG heroes aren’t already doing everything they can to teach kids how to be aware, loving and responsible citizens made my BLOOD BOIL!

I shudder at the idea of who it would install to replace the great teachers we AL👏🏾READY👏🏾HAVE👏🏾!

12/
I say ALL of this with this reminder:

This vile imp is not alone.

ANYONE running under the banner of Republican right now shares these beliefs or at the very least doesn’t care enough to fight against the hate within them.

Which is the same thing.

Pay attention!

13/
Lastly, for now at least…

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that this doesn’t affect you because you don’t have kids or they’re grown.

The generation of kids that “learn” in an educational system built on hate will grow up to run this country.

Let that sink in.

14/
Right now it’s just the beginning.

They are banning books, outlawing certain speech, threatening to fire and remove anyone who pushes back against their authoritarian tendencies.

Teachers are SHROUDING their classroom libraries in Florida.

Let👏🏾That👏🏾Sink👏🏾In👏🏾!

15/

The cost of gas & other products being high is not because of @potus. It’s the lingering effects of a global pandemic — that Tang called a hoax leading to his minions ignoring it which allowed it to fester & torpedo our economy.

That said, Biden is working to fix it…
When you vote based on how things look TODAY you ensure that once @potus and the Democratic-led Congress fix things, you will have elected the kind of Republicans who CAUSED the initial problems — who will then take a victory lap for the things they did NOT do.
This happened after Clinton. This happened after Obama. It will happen after @potus if YOU, yes you, don’t realize that it takes TIME to fix things.

Our Democracy is worth it. Let the man work. Keep democrats in the majority in Congress so they can vote for his plans. PLEASE.

All these folks back-pedaling away from their anti @HillaryClinton stance in 2016 is beyond infuriating.

Calling for grace & “kumbayah”singing.

Where’s the self-righteous bluster?!

You whined about Bernie🥀, screamed “Stay home!” & voted for #JillStein w/your chest in ‘16.
Call them all out!

Remind them that just like elections have consequences, encouraging folks to vote against their best interests or not at all has consequences, too.

I care about their feelings & comfort about as much as the Supreme Court & the Republicans care about women.
… and voting rights, and Black and Brown people, and LGBTQ+ rights, and gun control, and covid-prevention, and affordable healthcare and medicines, and Black Lives Matter and…and…and…

They’ve proven time & again that that amount is ZERO.

The self-righteous can kick rocks!

I hope the 53% of white women who just couldn’t stomach voting for @HillaryClinton are happy that they’ve just ensured that their daughters grow up in #Gilead.

A woman’s right to choose is a HEALTH decision.

A PERSONAL health decision.

I’m a Christian and know that.
Further, I hope people finally get that VOTING MATTERS!

A corrupt, racist, money AND power hungry imp got to put THREE Supreme Court justices on the bench.

Those three said they would protect precedent KNOWING their goal was to overturn every right they deemed inappropriate.
This all happened because not enough people care enough to vote. And not enough people who DO vote choose leaders that care about everyone — not just the people who think, love and look like them.

This is bad.
This is VERY bad.

From THIS Christian, please know that you ARE enough for Christ who loves you.

Period. The end.

w/that knowledge go forth & continue to strive to be better for the kingdom & to love God, yourself & others as you love yourself because THAT is what Christ boiled it all down to.
LOVE is who He is. LOVE is what He left with us. LOVE is what He called us to be. LOVE is what He called us to do.

Judgment & condemnation was NEVER supposed to be on our list of duties because WE are ill-equipped to do it.

Scripture tells us so.
John 8:7 “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.”

Matthew 7:1-5 “Judge not lest ye be judged…”

James 4:12 “…Who are you to judge your neighbor?”

I could go on. This wisdom is EVERYWHERE in the Bible.

She told ZERO lies.

Anyone who’s honest & paying ANY attention to the wall-to-wall coverage this particular war is getting will agree.

The comments from the folks covering it also tell the tale — THESE people being refugees is a tragedy.

For THEM there’s profound empathy.
Every human being on this planet deserves safety, food & shelter.

War is hell. To fear for your life is hell. To be displaced is hell.

Where is the compassion for the Black and Brown people who have faced what the Ukrainian people are sadly now facing? ❤️

Joy told the truth.
This is the same question I have when a little white girl goes missing & all of God’s chil’ren rally to find her.

It becomes national news. NO ONE rests until she’s found & returned home.

Let a little black or brown girl go missing or be found dead.

Aaaand… #Crickets

@ me.
