BREAKING: We are filing two House Ethics Complaints today. One on Rep. Steve King for his attacks on Parkland students. And another on Speaker Paul Ryan, for allowing the attacks to happen, with no repercussions. Ryan leads his caucus & is responsible for every GOP Rep in it.
Let’s call this like it is: the census, written about and hallowed in the Constitution, is being distorted by this administration for political purposes. President Trump and Secretary Ross should be ashamed of themselves. Hopefully the courts will correct this glaring abuse. https://t.co/coht0WR22A
To all white people:
Alton Sterling was killed in cold blood by an instrument of the US government.
The fear you feel of random shootings at high schools, black people feel at every interaction w police who may end a black life without reason or consequence.
This is OUR shame. https://t.co/ddgLBMME4n
I hope every eligible person of Puerto Rican descent, and those of us who regardless of heritage, race or geography, reject notion of 2nd class American citizens, reads this article & VOTES! Take those paper towel rolls and clean this mess up in November. https://t.co/k45o0xo4zB
Now Trump wants the military to pay for the wall, which means it comes from our tax dollars.
Wonder if the Trumpsters who loved chanting "Build the Wall!" will change their tune?
Probably not, considering their heads are so far up Donald's fat rear end.
The Constitution requires that all residents—not just citizens—be counted by the census. Asking about citizenship status could reduce participation by minorities, which is why this will be challenged in court. https://t.co/l515FZTtuP
In the Democratic Party, a felony conviction is enough to blow you out of politics forever.
Not so in the GOP. There are four convicted criminals running for high office in the Republican Party. And one child molester received a majority of GOP votes.
BREAKING: The NRA just acknowledged that it accepts donations from foreign entities, and moves money between its various accounts.
They claim that none of this $ is used for elections.
So in other words they repurpose their US money for elections and use foreign money for ads?
BREAKING: A federal court just ruled against Trump's plan to open more than 15M acres of public land/mineral rights to fossil fuel extraction
The court concluded that the government failed to take climate change into consideration when implementing this plan!!
Here’s a good rule of thumb when considering whether or not to support a #celebrity for public office. Print their Wikipedia biography. Take a sharpie and redact everything related to/stemming solely from their #fame, including any acting credits. Would you #vote for what’s left?
- @Emma4Change tore up a shooting target, not Constitution. She wore badge of Cuban flag b/c her dad is from there, not b/c she’s a communist sympathizer
-@davidhogg111’s not a crisis actor, didn’t do Nazi salute, was in school hiding in closet during shooting.
Stop the damn lies
The reason why some of those on the right are attacking the Parkland students with lies, hoaxes and smears is because of one thing...
They know they can't outsmart them when it comes to common sense!
They are scared to death that common sense will win!
They are right!
When in the hell did we become a country where it’s ok for adults to attack teenagers who just survived a mass shooting and experienced the death of friends & mentors? Regardless of what side ur on, regardless if it’s @KyleKashuv, @DavidHogg or @Emma4Change...Just. Please. Stop.
America, what you just witnessed, w/ what may be one of the largest organized rallies this country has ever experienced, epitomizes the power of articulate, brilliant, & creative young people who are offering our country inspired new leadership.
If 97% of young people can’t be bothered to show up, nothing positive will ever be achieved. But hey, as long as they’re instagramming and tweeting their outrage, right? 🙄 https://t.co/4AzL7jbduI
Dear Parkland teens,
If adults are mocking you, making fun of you, lying about you, and doing everything they can to silence you...
Then they are afraid of your voice...
And know you are doing the right thing...
Keep talking.
