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

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!

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.

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

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."

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.

81) Sen. Doug Ericksen was on Trump’s transition team & served as communications lead at Environmental Protection Agency. Ericksen was a vocal opponent of COVID restrictions, saying he would introduce a bill opposing vaccine mandates.

He died of #COVID19 at 52.

He made his choice, but who else did he infect? What variants did he breed?

59) Nurse Shanda Parish has cancer, but won’t get vaccinated, even after losing both parents to #COVID19. She resents judgment from friends asking why they didn’t get vaccinated: “people make us feel like it’s our fault they’re gone.”

Who has she infected?

I will not criticize President Biden for the collapse of Afghanistan. I will not criticize our military & families who endured 20 years of sacrifice propping up that government and training and supplying its troops.

Criticism should lay squarely with the Afghan Army & Government I will not criticize Presid... I disagree with those saying this is a “sad day for America.” Quite the opposite. It’s a betrayal of America. Our troops endured multi-generational deployments. We built a 300K-strong army. It’s amazing what the US did. But if 20 years of support and billions of American dollars

1) Over 99% of recent #COVID deaths are of unvaccinated people.

While 625,000 Americans died from #COVID19, conservatives refuse masks and vaccines

No, “AR” doesn’t stand for “Assault Rifle,” but was it designed as a military assault rifle to kill people?

A short thread >>> You decide and be #ArmedWithReason

#GunOwnerForGunReform #GunReform #NoRA 1/3: ArmaLite first developed AR-15 in late 40s as a military rifle & sold patent to Colt who developed it into the M16 & ramped up production of semiautomatic version for law enforcement marketed as the AR-15 designed to kill PEOPLE!

So, Marco Rubio defended Trump’s extortion on China, saying he “didn’t think it was a real request," and Trump “did it to gig” and “provoke” the media.

He once called Trump “unfit” and a “con artist.” Here’s a little thread about the great opportunist and hypocrite #MarcoRubio Hi. My name is Marco Antonio Rubio. I claimed my parents came to the US fleeing a brutal Castro regime in 1959. I used that story for political gain. Reality? My parents came in 1956 seeking a better life. Now, I work to ensure others cannot do the same.
