If you’re asking how the Allen, Texas murderer

Became steeped in nazism

Don’t overlook

Donald Trump dining with a neo-nazi

Marjorie Taylor Greene speaking at a white nationalist conference

And Clarence Thomas accepting “gifts” from a man who owns a signed copy of mein kampf ImageImageImage Maybe it was Tucker Carlson’s overt racism

Paul Gosar cozying up to a nazi

The GOP tweeting in support of antisemites

Or Kevin McCarthy’s not-so-subtle dog whistles about George Soros

That led the mass shooter in Allen

To follow the genocidal footsteps of nazism Image

The proceedings are being chaired by a Republican

The witnesses have been Republicans

Most worked for Republican president Trump

The insurrection was planned & carried out by Republicans

And the dereliction of duty for 187 minutes was that of a Republican

#January6thHearing Trump knew the coup was happening

He did nothing to stop it

On the contrary-he incited the insurrectionists even more

The #January6thCommitteeHearings are not about the past

They’re about the present-and the future

Because the coup never ended

In fact, it’s still going on today

<Thread> Donald Trump knew in November of 2020 that he lost

Bill Barr and others told him

But instead of accepting defeat, Trump denied it, claiming he won

Big

Then, with the help of Rudy Giuliani, Michael Flynn, Sydney Powell and John Eastman, amongst others, they hatched their plan

Donald J. Trump lied to America, claiming he won when he really lost

He told them to march to the Capitol and fight like hell

@RepMoBrooks told the #TrumpTraitors to "kick ass"

But sure, Elise Stefanik

The Speaker of the House is to blame

1/? Rudy Giuliani called for "trial by combat"

Ron Johnson repeatedly lied about election fraud (there was none)

The ENTIRE GOP refused to acknowledge the election results

But sure, Elise Stefanik

The Speaker of the House is to blame

@SenatorTimScott You want to have an honest conversation, Tim Scott

I don’t believe you’re prepared to address some hard truths

Because, Senator, before Democrats and Republicans can sit as equals, there are many questions you need to answer

<Thread>

#ONEV1
#DemCast

@SenatorTimScott Your party famously decided making Obama a one term president was its most important priority

Not infrastructure
Not immigration reform
Not even the economy

No thought about helping the country

Why should Obama’s former VP work with you now

After promising that 100 million Americans would get vaccinated in his first 100 days

@POTUS more than DOUBLED that lofty goal

220 MILLION Americans have been vaccinated in just 100 days‼️

"Every shot is like a dose of hope"

That's #BidensAmerica

I am not an immigration lawyer-never have been

Then why am I so passionate about this administration’s immigration policy

After all, it doesn’t affect me personally and it probably never will

Well, I’ll tell you

#ImmigrantsMatter

Trump called Mexicans “rapists”
 
Then sought a “total ban of Muslims”
 
This is how persecution starts
 
As a lawyer-as an American-I support the Constitution
 
If I stand by while people are oppressed because of their nationality or religion
 
Who will stand for me

I was on the Grand Concourse in the Bronx, heading to a federal building for a Social Security hearing when I saw the smoke

The radio said it was an accident at first, reporting that maybe a small plane crashed

When the second plane struck, all doubt was removed

#NeverForget A group watched on a portable TV as the fires raged, and people leapt to escape the inferno, making an unthinkable choice-the only decision they had left-about how they would die

@PreetBharara He started his campaign by calling Mexicans rapists and murderers

He then advocated for a “total ban” of Muslims

He routinely says that the free press is the “enemy of the people

He has brought people who support white supremacy into his government and given them immense power @PreetBharara He has insulted gold star families-on multiple occasions

He has sided with Putin-on multiple occasions

He has made anti-Semitic remarks-on multiple occasions

He has attacked many judges-on multiple occasions

He has tweeted violent images-on multiple occasions

@realDonaldTrump Since #MoscowMitch won’t let the Senate vote on any of the 400+ bills passed by @TeamPelosi, you probably don’t know anything about them

Let me help you out

BUT-get ready; it’s gonna take awhile

#oktrumper
#ImpeachAndRemove @realDonaldTrump @TeamPelosi More bills from “Do Nothing Dems”

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Thomas Jefferson “As a nation, we began by declaring that 'all men are created equal.' We now practically read it 'all men are created equal, except negroes.' When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read 'all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics.'”

THE DANGER OF BARR PARROTING TRUMP CONSPIRACY THEORIES

It legitimizes the falsehoods

They’re out to get me
It a coup
It’s the Deep State

And if he loses in 2020? Will he refuse to relinquish office because the system is “rigged”?

Democracy stands at the edge of a precipice Think Barr was simply being loose with his language? Consider-he said

“I THINK SPYING ON A POLITICAL CAMPAIGN IS A BIG DEAL”

That implies he knew EXACTLY what he was saying

He’s not Matt Whitaker

Also HE KNEW THIS CLAIM HAD ALREADY BEEN DEBUNKED

This is about so much more than Trump’s wall

It’s about the Constitutional limits of executive power; a showdown over who controls our government; whether Republicans will stand up for themselves or meekly follow Trump; and a struggle for who we want to be

#TrumpVeto

<Thread> We all know the predicate

Trump declares a national emergency because we have a “humanitarian crisis” at our southern border

He claims we need a wall to stop undocumented immigrants, illegal drugs and human trafficking

We also know this is a lie

Wow

Where to even start

First, you’re not speaker any more

And your party’s “ideas” were so soundly rejected during the midterm elections that you lost an historic 40 seats

But let’s go a little deeper. Let’s look at Trump’s “accomplishments” and see if we are “better off” With Trump and the GOP gutting the ACA and fighting Medicaid expansion, people who pay for healthcare are certainly #NotBetterOff

But healthcare and drug companies, and people that own them, sure are. Just ask your friend Chris Collins.

Count the cost of every lie
Watching migrant children die
Callously we hide their tears;
Lock them up! prey on their fears

#FakeTrumpEmergency In heileras, where they freeze
Ripped from doting families
No way to reunify!
Was there ever thought to try?

The rule of law applies equally to EVERYONE in America regardless of how they arrive

That’s why @lawyers4goodgov created

PROJECT CORAZON

to help refugees at the border

HERE IS ONE LAWYER’S TALE

Please donate so we can continue our mission

<Thread>

lawyersforgoodgovernment.org/project-corazo… 4 LAWYERS, 5,000 REFUGEES, 19 HOUR DAYS

On November 10, 2018, Spanish-speaking immigration attorney attorney Nancy Arevalo traveled to Mexico, with support from the #L4GG Foundation, to provide legal help to people in the migrant caravan

This is her experience

@Alyssa_Milano I agree, this incident MUST be investigated. Justice MUST be served.

But that’s only the start. We have to review EVERYTHING.

The separation policy. Its implementation. Whether it violates the Flores settlement. Whether it violates the stay. And more.

Thread When the Trump administration began the family separation policy, they first denied it existed. Then Sessions officially announced the policy, ridiculously proclaiming that the Bible supported it.

Trump lied and blamed Democrats for creating the policy.

So all of us in the #resistance are giving ourselves a big pat on the back for the #BlueWave. After all, we took 40 seats and soon @TeamPelosi will be House Speaker

Great job! We think. After two long years we can finally take it easy.

NOT. SO. FAST.

<Thread> Yes, it was wonderful to see those Democratic candidates win. And nice to see our effort rewarded.

With control of the House, we now have a Constitutional check on the president PLUS we control more governorships and state legislatures

But there’s still a TON of work to do.

You keep tweeting AMERICA FIRST! without explanation

So I started to wonder what you mean by this.

Does AMERICA FIRST mean that we put 14,000 immigrant children in cages because they came here seeking our help?

That we let Russia attack our elections without retribution? Does AMERICA FIRST mean that we give validation to brutal dictators in North Korea and let them develop nuclear weapons while we lie about it?

Does it mean we let Saudi Arabian princes murder American resident journalists with impunity?

Does it mean we suppress votes?

♦️Project Corazon♦️UPDATE

Lawyers for Good Government is sending a volunteer Immigration lawyer to this “tent city” in Tornillo. She will be part of a group of volunteer lawyers conducting legal intake interviews with hundreds of detained children.

nytimes.com/2018/10/12/us/… Based on her experience we hope to be able to send additional volunteer lawyers to assist at Tornillo and other detention facilities jailing children across the United States.

“SHE CAME TO THE US BECAUSE

the gang told her if she didn’t pay the extortion money they demanded, they would kill her and her young daughter, and make her watch them kill her daughter

THIS WAS NOT THE WORST STORY.”

A harrowing

♦️Project Corazon♦️

tale from #L4GG’s @mgremb: Even worse was a mom who came to the US with her daughter “Celia” (not her real name). Her other daughter had been kidnapped by the gang a month ago and never seen again. The gang said Celia was “next,” and threatened to kill the rest of the family, so they left.
