0/10: What can we do about the gun violence epidemic? As a #GunOwnerForGunReform, I can tell you we can do plenty.

2/10: Close the Charleston Loophole:

1 - On Ronald Reagan’s birthday, it’s fun to remember how he called African delegates to UN “monkeys uncomfortable wearing shoes.”

#GOPFascists
2 - On Ronald Reagan’s birthday, it’s fun to remember how he took my dead father’s social security survivor benefits away from my struggling single mom, taxed social security to pay for massive tax cuts on the rich, & how Republicans are pushing for more!
3 - On Ronald Reagan’s birthday, it’s fun to remember how he reclassified KETCHUP as a vegetable to cut funding for school lunches while he transferred billions to the top, exploded deficits, and widened income inequality with his trickle down idiocy.

Republicans have spent decades trying to abolish gov’t agencies including EPA, FDA, & FBI, pass massive tax cuts for the wealthy & big oil, eliminate minimum wage, slash Medicare, & dismantle Social Security.

Don’t let them. This November tell @GOP #HandsOffMySocialSecurity Republicans have spent deca...
Marco Rubio getting honest on the Republican play book: Cut taxes on the rich, use their resulting deficits as ammo against Democrats and an excuse to gut programs like Social Security and Medicare.

#HandsOffMySocialSecurity @valdemings @marcorubio
Pay attention folks. Republicans have been trying to end Social Security for DECADES. Since it was passed.

Don’t let them. This November, tell @GOP #HandsOffMySocialSecurity

1) As Russian forces close in on the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, and face brave resistance, I wanted to share a short story of my mother, a Freedom Fighter from another brutal Russian invasion: Hungary, 1956.

She taught me freedom is not free. History repeats.

#Ukraine
2) The Soviet Union occupied half of Europe after WWII & built a very real iron curtain right down the middle. Ignoring agreements, Stalin redrew the map and installed puppet governments. He even took a piece of Hungary & annexed it to Ukraine, dividing families for decades
3) Khrushchev’s "secret speech" in February 1956, denounced the crimes of Stalin and his cult of personality. This "de-Stalinization" led reformers across the Eastern bloc to openly express their discontent with Soviet occupation and oppression.

Putin said it was “madness” to allow countries like Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia to leave USSR.

Trump also opposed breakup, accusing Gorbachev of weakness & praising Communist China for showing strength in massacring students.

Coincidence?

#TrumPutin
2) In 1987 Soviet diplomats & KGB arranged a Moscow visit. On his return, Trump spent $100,000 on full-page ads criticizing US foreign policy on “why America should stop paying to defend countries that can afford to defend themselves."

3) Trump’s love affair with authoritarianism & dictators is nothing new. Trump saw breakup of Soviet Union as weakness, praised communist China for massacre at Tiananmen, & praised China’s Xi for becoming “President for life.”

1) Why did the South secede?

Conservatives whitewash Civil War history, saying it was about “states’ rights” & not slavery. Here’s a thread to help you make up your own mind and to share. Not my words - the words of the Confederate authors.

2) “Our new government’s foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery - subordination to the superior race - is his natural and normal condition.”

Alexander Stephens has no place in the US Capitol. 2) “Our new government’s foundations are laid, its corne
3) Why did Georgia secede?

The prohibition of slavery… hostility to it, the equality of the black & white races… were boldly proclaimed by its leaders & applauded by its followers… The prohibition of slavery in the Territories is the cardinal principle.”
