They did, it was called America

We did not cancel elections during the Civil War.

We did not cancel elections for World War II.

We did not cancel elections for COVID.

But the Louisiana Governor sees the opportunity to gerrymander Black members out of their seats and…
STATE OF EMERGENCY: ELECTION CANCELLED

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

The Army Chief of Staff, a combat veteran with tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, asked Pete Hegseth why he was blocking the promotions of two Black officers and two female officers who had earned them.

Hegseth refused to answer. Then he fired him.

Nine U.S. officials told NBC News that Hegseth has blocked or delayed promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military.

Hegseth has now fired or sidelined more than a dozen generals and admirals.

He is an out-of-control, unqualified former TV host and nobody in the Republican Party will say a word about it because they don’t want to make Trump angry.

This is truly insane, and it should be front page news across America. 

Denmark secretly deployed soldiers to Greenland prepared to blow up airport runways to stop a U.S. invasion.

They brought blood supplies to treat the wounded. France, Germany, Norway, and Sweden quietly coordinated against us.

This was not a drill.

This was our closest allies preparing to fight Americans.

Let that sink in. NATO allies. Countries whose soldiers have fought and died alongside ours for decades. They looked at this president and decided they had to prepare for the worst.

Fewer allies does not make America great. It makes us more isolated, more vulnerable, and it hands Russia and China exactly what they have always wanted: an America abandoned by its friends.

The American people deserve to know how badly this president has damaged our standing in the world.  https://t.co/lxQD3X8jaM

“zohran’s wife tweeted bad stuff at age 15” ok have you seen what the president of the United States is currently tweeting at age 79

guys we do NOT want USPS privatized… it’s a public service benefitting everyone

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.  Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.

I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.

Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

this is what they said it would be like under socialism

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

This is dangerous. It’s not a joke any more than January 6 was, and the Senators who failed to convict him after that bear the lion’s share of responsibility for where we are now. History will remember them as cowards if they fail to act.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.

His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

ICE shot a US citizen named Marimar Martinez five times in October.

DHS labelled her a terrorist.

She miraculously survived.

The bodycam footage exonerated her and she fought to get it released to the public.

The next 3 shootings were fatal.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change — all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

🎯 Trump would prefer every US athlete travel with a political minder, the way I had a KGB handler with me everywhere I went abroad for the USSR. Criticizing your government is not un-American. Telling Americans they can’t criticize it is.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Even with everything in this Epstein drop, remember: this is a minority of the files.

This is STILL just what they were *willing* to release - in violation of the law, which requires release of all files.

Pam Bondi’s DOJ is still hiding most of them. We need them all.

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

The "End Obergefell" extremists are especially sad because they fail to realize the secondhand embarrassment we all feel watching them pretend this is about kids.

Their new, concentrated messaging push is that same-sex marriage is harmful to children.

These are the same people who remain silent while their political allies are covering-up a massive sex trafficking sex operation that targeted children.

They're the same people who remain silent over the epidemic of Christian pastors being arrested and convicted for sexually abusing and raping children.

They're the same people who ignore sexual abuse of women and children in their networks.

These people don't care about children. They never did.

But same-sex marriage presents a fantastic opportunity for grifting and funding. It's a braindead bumpersticker cause that offers a distraction from all of the above.

It's pretty pathetic.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Already invoking the Nuremberg defense. A reminder to all that acting under superior orders does not relieve you of responsibility if a moral choice was possible.

[Kareem Carr, Ph.D. @kareem_carr]

They nuke Harvard's funding, which everybody told them was going to lead to Chinese research dominance. China is now dominating and instead of reconsidering their terrible science policies, they're blaming it all on minorities.

These people are insane.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

It is difficult to describe what kind of morally depraved, malignantly narcissistic mindset you have to have to only ‘feel bad’ for dead people based on whether their parents voted for you.

He may be the worst person to ever feature in American public life.

[Prof Michael E. Mann @MichaelEMann]

We have reached the point where any statement made by a Trump administration official must be assumed to be a lie until proven otherwise.

[Arlen Parsa @arlenparsa]

Renee Good’s killer: 10 year ICE officer

Alex Pretti’s killer: 8 year Border Patrol officer

We can’t pretend this is all the result of Trump’s sloppy training. The entire agencies are rotten to the core.
