Just to be clear: there is nothing “pro-life” about denying people comprehensive sexual education, making birth control harder to access, forcing others to give birth against their will, and stripping them of healthcare and food assistance afterwards.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

The abortion debate is really over if Mike Pence of all people is afraid to express an emphatic pro-life point of view on national television.

.@JoeBiden has a plan to build our country back better and create millions of jobs—jobs that can help working families get ahead. Joe helped manage the Recovery Act, which jumpstarted the longest stretch of job growth in our history. And he’ll do it again.

Ella Jones became the first African-American and first woman elected mayor in Ferguson, Missouri, on Tuesday, nearly 6 years after the city erupted in protests after a white police officer shot and killed Michael Brown, a black teenager https://t.co/OfekWj3U9r

@thejtlewis So true, let’s keep this lack of leadership up and see what other apocalyptic shit is in store for us next! Another 100k killed from pandemic inaction? another 40m losing their jobs? More civil unrest? Can’t wait!!!!!!

I just emailed my U.S. Representatives to end the genocide in Burma (Myanmar) by co-sponsoring the #Burma Act of 2019 (H.R. 3190). Send your email here: https://t.co/TAUtSM7lLS

@Uber and @Uber_Support my pool in SF this morning from Noe Valley to SOMA took MORE THAN 1 HOUR. I could have walked faster, except I was in all corners of the city on this ridiculous route. Worst part? There’s no place in the app for this sort of feedback! I’ll stick with lyft.

I cannot think of another modern American president whose public statements were more poisonous... or more ignored.

In 1838, the TRAIL of Tears was the name given to the forced relocation of 16,000 Native Americans that caused 4,000 deaths from disease, famine, and war.

In 2019, it's a super fucked up punchline of a tweet from the U.S. President.

This morning, while Mike Pence led negotiations to reopen the government, Trump used Twitter to:

- Thank Kanye West
- Invent a Border Crisis
- Attack Democrats
- Scorn Public Servants
- Defend his own Criminality
- Undermine the Free Press

America has no president.
