After WW2 the US Government gave amnesty & immigration to actual Nazis before they gave refuge to Jews who survived the Holocaust, so spare me your fears about refugees and national security as a pathetic cover for your white supremacy and bigotry.

Can some journalist ask GOP leadership that if General Soleimani had to be killed because he killed American troops, why did the GOP demand the release of Taliban terrorist Abdul Ghani when he was arrested for killing American troops?

“Today, it's easy to point fingers when it comes Afghanistan, and we are seeing a lot of that now,” @mehdirhasan says. “But let's not forgot that it all started with the guy who launched the so-called ‘War on Terror:’ George W. Bush.”

In this inland area of Nassau County, sandwiched between Jacksonville and the Okefenokee Swamp at the Georgia-Florida line, a devastating resurgence of the coronavirus is making even some die-hard vaccine skeptics reconsider the shots. https://t.co/Xa57CELYLK

BREAKING: I led a coalition of 22 AGs along with @NewYorkStateAG opposing Georgia’s discriminatory voting law. We filed an amicus saying the law is contrived, doesn’t hold up under scrutiny and makes it more difficult for Georgians—especially Black Georgians—to vote.

"Abdul Ghani Baradar, the Taliban leader freed from a Pakistani jail on the request of the US less than three years ago, has emerged as an undisputed victor of the 20-year war." -The Guardian #TalibanTrump

[Tristan Snell @TristanSnell]

Trump freed Taliban leader Baradar from prison.

RT this so everyone knows the real story. #TalibanTrump

I think we need @brittlestar & @DGlaucomflecken to join forces & solve all the world's problems. One brilliant bit of wit at a time. Start with this one. #VaccinesSaveLives

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

Last year, we had the equivalent of 300 Benghazis per day because of the feckless mismanagement of the pandemic by the trump admin.

You GOP ghouls can STFU about Benghazi forever.

"The quality of some of the stories that we heard should count more than just the number of emails that we received,' [Inez] Peña [Board Member] said. 'And I feel like that’s not being heard, the students are not being heard.'” #BlackLivesMatter

[Alex Zielinski @alex_zee]

"Board chair Dave Brown said the board received over 500 emails ahead of the meeting. In his report, he said he was not racist, and that the district needs to support 'all' students." [White power 101.]
