Liz Cheney
Liz Cheney@Liz_Cheney·
One lesson of Jan 6 is this: Trump’s lies, spread on TV & social media, provoked a violent attack on our Capitol. No responsible adult, and especially no American pledged to our Constitution, should deny what happened or repeat the same reckless lies.

On #PresidentsDay, it is important to recall that at least twelve U.S. presidents enslaved Black people, eight while in office. Two-thirds of the first 18 presidents collectively enslaved nearly 2,000 Black people. We know what largely built this nation, and it wasn’t freedom.

Jon Santiago
Jon Santiago@IamJonSantiago·
Thank you @MassGovernor for the opportunity to serve. Our veterans have sacrificed so much and have given their very best to our country. And we'll give them ours.
Governor Maura Healey@MassGovernor

Rep. Jon Santiago has lived a life of service to this country – as a legislator, an emergency room doctor, and overseas with the U.S. Army Reserve. He's uniquely qualified to be our first Veterans’ Secretary. Our former service members and their families will be in good hands.

Preclusion from wealth building and lack of social mobility resulting from structurally racist practices are important precursors to disparate victimization from firearm violence. @TraceyDechert @BMCSurgery @BUMedicine @The_BMC
Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery@JTraumAcuteSurg

Historic #redlining has led to higher rates of firearm violence. Authors show that increasing black social mobility decreases rates of firearm incidents in redlined areas. Reparations & focus on social mobility can help address gun violence #JoTACS @M_P_MD journals.lww.com/jtrauma/Fullte…

Welcome to the United States of America where mass shootings happen everyday because GOP politicians care more about protecting the flow of guns (and thereby campaign donations and support) than protecting the lives of their own constituents—let alone the rest of us. 1/2

The January 6 Committee has just referred Donald John Trump to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution. There is sufficient evidence that he committed multiple crimes. And it’s past time for him to face justice.

After watching the Jan 6 committee today, my overwhelming reaction is just how profoundly sad it is that Donald Trump was POTUS.

Historic Fenway Park is right around the corner from Boston University. And tonight, I walked over and threw out the first pitch at the Boston Red Sox game. Never thought I’d do this. This thing we call life is something. ✌🏾 🎥 @RedSox

Will Jawando is councilman at large in Montgomery County, Maryland--one of the places identified by the Black Progress Index as a place where Black folks "are doing well according to health and well-being measures." How can this success be emulated? bostonglobe.com/2022/09/28/opi…

After the FBI seized confidential files from Trump’s residence last week, his allies called the US a “banana republic.” Let us explore the term's origins, and how it reeks of irony to wield it to defend the corruption of this wannabe dictator. A thread 1/

Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.

Among the 7,305 demonstrations in the summer of 2020, 96.3 percent involved no property damage or police injuries, according to researchers. But anyone who has the audacity to call it “a dust-up at the Capitol” doesn’t care about data or accuracy or truth.

Commanders DC Jack Del Rio on tweet comparing George Floyd protest to the insurrection at the Capitol on Jan 6th "Businesses are being burned down, no problem and then we have a dust-up at the Capitol, nothing burned down and we're gonna make that a major deal." @wusa9 #HTTC

OMG! You are willing to sacrifice children so people can own AR15, military weapon whose only purpose is to kill. Well, thank you for your honesty, and may your district, friends, and colleagues see you for the monster you and the @GOP are.
