PERSIST! Profile picture
Today's @GOP, their 6 appointed #fascists on the @SCOTUSblog, and the @FedSoc @Heritage Fndn that own them all, are the greatest threats to American #democracy.

Let's set the record straight about @AngeliqueAshby @AshbyForSenate's #lies and disinformation campaign against @CA_DaveJones:
1. Taking away #Medicare (FALSE): Dave is endorsed by @CalNurses, the leading advocate for #MedicareForAll for ALL Californians. @AngeliqueAshby @AshbyForSenate @CA_DaveJones @CalNurses 2. Raising car insurance rates (FALSE): Dave saved #California consumers and businesses over $3.11 billion in premiums, by regulating rates for auto, homeowners, and other property and casualty insurance.

So I finally got around to listening to @POTUS @JoeBiden's press conference this morning and have a few miscellaneous thoughts (in thread) for the #MSM: @ABC @CBSNews @NBCNews @CNN @MSNBC @nytimes @USATODAY @WSJ @POTUS @JoeBiden @ABC @CBSNews @NBCNews @CNN @MSNBC @nytimes @USATODAY @WSJ Why do you insist on ignoring the fact that this administration has accomplished more in 1 year than any other president in history & certainly more than #TFG did in four years: American Rescue Plan; Infrastructure; Economy booming; Unemployment at an all time low; 75% vax rate.

@AnnAnne700 @Sludge @BruceAl97473014 @frankthorp @AriNatter @CNN @MSNBC @Sen_JoeManchin reneged on his agreement to support $3.5T in spending for the wildly popular #BuildBackBetterAct not for ideological reasons but because he & his family make vast amounts of wealth from the giant corporate tax cheats who will pay for it. And the #MSM is complicit. @AnnAnne700 @Sludge @BruceAl97473014 @frankthorp @AriNatter @CNN @MSNBC @Sen_JoeManchin @JoeManchinWV's word is worthless. He agreed to spend $3.5T to #BuildBackBetter for the American people to get @SenateDems to pass his corporate trickle down BIB. Once it passed, he reneged on that agreement. He cannot be trusted. #VoteHimOut @WVCantWait

1/ @POTUS @JoeBiden and @VP @KamalaHarris try to convince us that we can overcome #Republican #VoterSuppression by out-organizing them (and donating more money, of course). They must have forgotten recent history, so @IndivisibleSF would like to remind them: 2/ 2000: Bush v Gore. Nationwide, Gore defeats Bush by 500,000 votes. But Bush "wins" Florida (and therefore the @WhiteHouse) by 537 votes. Prior to the election, Bush's brother, then FL Gov. Jeb Bush, purged 58,000 voters from the rolls, most of them African American.

#Afganistan vs. Vietnam (Thread by @IndivisibleSF leader & Vietnam vet):
It's infuriating to watch horrific scenes from Kabul & hear TV talking heads dutifully regurgitate official talking points while ignoring the corruption--the giant dung heap at the center of Afghan reality. For weeks, pols and pundits have been steadfastly ignoring reports that Afghan soldiers hadn't been paid in weeks, were out of ammunition, and were subsisting on starvation rations. What happened to the funds for their pay, bullets, and bread?

#StopTheRecall #VoteNoOnRecall @indivisibleyolo davisenterprise.com/forum/letters/… via @AllDENews 1/ My newly placed “Stop the Recall” sign was ripped in half and left on my front yard. It’s a crime to do such a thing. Lawlessness and race baiting, like fake ballot boxes and hydroxychloroquine COVID cures, will not help #California.
