@WhiteHouse You look like a psychopath.
Perfect portrait.

@acnewsitics They can’t explain anything. If they’re not lying outright they’re repeating lies because they don’t understand objective research

Donald Trump’s abortion bans jeopardized IVF access for families across America.

Today, his Republican allies in Congress once again voted against protecting IVF.

They can’t say they care about families if they don't care about this.

@ElAlto17 @AngryCops @Acyn That is so, so telling. Wow.

[romacaja @RobertaCarrowJ]

@ElAlto17 @AngryCops @Acyn And THAT is the mentality beneath his comment. He truly disdains those who don’t “win” at life, which includes disabled people, even wounded soldiers. He’d fit right in as a goose-stepper rounding up “disableds” for the ovens, except Capt. Bone Spurs would never enlist.

Trump: When we gave her the Presidential Medal of Freedom… It’s the equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor— it’s actually much better because everyone who gets the Congressional Medal, they’re soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets or they’re dead. She gets it and she’s a healthy beautiful woman

@amuse @swalker_7 It’s going to be HILARIOUS when y’all get old and disabled and no one gives a crap about your difficulties navigating life, because young people won’t have learned a damn thing about including you

So you mean to tell me that Biden went to Atlanta for the debate, stayed up all night at the Waffle House, flew to NC the next day and went OFF at a rally, and then went to NYC to stand up for the LGBTQ community at a Stonewall event with Elton John?!?!

Just to review:

- Trump’s Chief Strategist, Steve Bannon: Convicted Felon.

- Trump’s Campaign Chair, Paul Manafort: Convicted Felon

- Trump’s National Security Advisor, Michael Flynn: Convicted Felon

- Trump’s Advisor, Roger Stone: Convicted Felon

and finally...

- Donald Trump, himself: CONVICTED FELON.

@Kpedeaux Would you please share to Facebook? I think a lot more people who might know her are there instead of Twitter. I’d gladly share.

So you know how hard we've been working to make the @StRoch_Market nicer. Well this person stole all my nice new plants on the front patio. I spent a lot of time this week writing a grant to make the patio even nicer. But I'm rethinking my decision that's for sure.

@ambirc723 @bayleu01 @JoJoFromJerz I would agree with you if this were actually happening BUT IT IS NOT. Late term abortions only happen when the fetus is dying or dead or killing the mother. SHAME on you for trying to shame women who are already in misery from losing a wanted child. SHAME

A law written in darkness by candlelight. Yes, actual candlelight. Before the invention of electricity. When women could not even vote & tobacco smoke enemas were an established medical treatment.

You either support government forcing its citizens to be pregnant, by a rapist, against their will; or you don't.

That's the question all politicians should be asked.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Wow.

Here’s Robert De Niro’s full statement about how Donald Trump should NEVER be president again:

“I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men.  I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty.

Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly.

I see an evil one.

Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.” Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong. 

Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped.

Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them.

We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego.  We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership.  We tried to warn the world in 2016.

The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination.  Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world.

We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags.

The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior.  That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse.

Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously.

So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America:
This is our last chance.

Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator.

And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided.

So what do we do about it?  I know I’m preaching to the choir here.  What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls.   We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. 

They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice.  Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them.

Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect.  Let’s not talk about “democracy.”  “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. 

Let’s talk about right and wrong.  Let’s talk about humanity. 

Let’s talk about kindness.  Security for our world. 

Safety for our families. 

Decency. 

Let’s welcome them back. 

We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.”
