@krassenstein Brian, did you see the Jan. 6 footage Tucker Carlson released tonight? It PROVES the Jan 6 Committee LIED and covered up the truth! They all should be charged and held accountable. Capitol Police were tour guides for many whom are in prison right now. Will you cover this?
These are the alleged Domestic Terrorists arrested in Cop City last night. A few points:
#1 They aren't an Organized group of "Antifa members" like the right claims.
#2 One arrest was Tom Jurgens, a lawyer for the Southern Poverty Law Center. Just because an employee of yours does something horrendous doesn't mean the organization is bad. The Southern Poverty Law Center does incredible work with civil rights and protecting those who have hate directed at them.
#3 Unlike Republicans and the Jan 6th criminals, I WILL NEVER make excuses for the horrendous actions that these people allegedly took part in.
BREAKING: California's Governor Gavin Newsom has just announced that his state will NOT do business with Walgreens any longer. This comes after Walgreens refused to sell abortion pills in 20 states where they are still LEGAL.
If Republicans want to threaten Walgreens to take peoples' rights away then I am fine with Newsom threatening Walgreens to give people their rights back, especially when those are LEGAL rights.
I'm sick of watching Republicans try and dictate what private companies do. It's time that Democrats fight back to counter their fascism. I call or other Governors to do the same.
Colorado Republicans do not have the votes to block gun control bills proposed by Democrats so it's on to talk of murder and civil war. #coleg#copolitics
Lots of folks were waiting to see if Chris would say Jada’s name during #ChrisRockLive . He didn’t. But he did call her a b*tch, and that seems just as bad, if not worse. TO ME. twitter.com/gorejustgoth/s…
@StevenBeschloss Nearly destroyed my family. I’ve finally agreed to not talk about politics at all, but occasionally some still like to silently try to trigger with T-shirts. Haha
It’s hard to fully accept or overstate how many families and friendships have been damaged or broken by the ugly combination of Donald Trump and Fox News.
Kari Lake claims that “powerful people back east” sent someone to her house this week to try and bribe her with a job with a big salary if she would drop out of politics.
@ISeeYou1313@krassenstein Oh man, I’d love to meet your parents if that’s your take. You can love and support your child (adult or otherwise) and not condone or enable. There’s just NO sane way of spinning a Dad slapping his kid (in public or private). Hope you’re not parenting.
@krassenstein Really b/c to me it sounds like 1 is an enabler & will do anything to keep his son out of trouble & skirt any sort of responsibility for his actions.
The other isn’t about coddling their kid into adulthood, is about building a strong independent kid who is prepared for the world.
Night and Day:
Joe Biden:
"It's Dad. I called to tell you I love you. I love you more than the whole world, pal. You gotta get some help. I know you don't know what to do. I don't either. But I'm here, no matter what you need … I love you."
Donald Trump Jr.'s Dorm mate at Wharton School, Scott Melker:
"Don Jr. opened the door, wearing a Yankee jersey. Without saying a word, his father slapped him across the face, knocking him to the floor in front of all of his classmates. He simply said 'put on a suit and meet me outside,' and closed the door."
One person loves. The other hates.
On this day in 1959, 69 black boys were padlocked in their dormitory at school and it was then set on fire.
21 burnt to death while 48 managed to escape.
A THREAD.
@EJBoss6@AfricanArchives@zellieimani Questionable behavior, adolescent mischief, misguided attempt for validation, or peer pressure- it doesn’t matter. These were children who deserved better.
For the umpteenth time:
The Republicans who freed the slaves would be LIBERAL Democrats today, including Abraham Lincoln.
The Dixie Democrats (Dixiecrats) who were in the KKK are now Confederate flag-waving, white supremacy defending Republicans today.
The Civil Rights era back then caused the intolerant, "anti-woke" assholes to flee to the Republican party.
Any questions?
Marge is still at it: “We need a national divorce where we can split into red states and blue states. No, that doesn’t mean civil war. Doesn’t mean you can’t travel to different states. There would still be trade and commerce.”
