Nazi Germany is trending because Jemele Hill compared it to the U.S., and the right is mad.
But they’re not mad about Trump’s goons snatching ppl, his threat of LEOs at polls, or Proud Boy violence.
If comparisons to fascism upset you more than fascism, you might be a fascist.
If an EUA for #COVID19 vaccine is managed like today’s convalescent plasma announcement, we are in trouble. We need to know the process for evaluating safety/efficacy is based on science not politics. Today’s announcement did not provide that assurance. We must do better. 1/x
Maybe the majority of Republicans - who don't mind 170k-plus dead right now under Trump - never cared about the 4 (!) dead in Benghazi.
Maybe it was just the black president in charge who bothered them then, and the woman who ran after him.
Just throwing it out there.
Maybe.
2 died of Ebola: They said Obama should resign.
4 died in Benghazi: They had Hillary testify for 11 hours, held 33 hearings, and launched a multiyear probe.
180,304 died thanks to Trump’s incompetence: They cheered him on, and demand 4 more years.
California is on fire. Once in a lifetime hurricanes are sweeping the Gulf Coast. The Arctic topped 100 degrees. The future of our planet is at stake this election. We can no longer have a president in office who rejects science and calls climate change a hoax. #GreenNewDeal
While 92 million can't afford health care, the 4 richest Americans are now worth $512.8 billion:
- Jeff Bezos: $193 billion
- Bill Gates: $122 billion
- Mark Zuckerberg: $101 billion
- Elon Musk: $96.8 billion
It's time to tax the billionaire class and expand Medicare to all.
Just so you know we have a Republican Party openly attacking our elections and voting process. They are also promoting a domestic security threat, QAnon and Deep State, and they're cool with Putin killing our soldiers.
I know we get overwhelmed but just let that sink in.
What a fraud. If you want to "save" the Post Office, remove the Postmaster General you installed who is trying to sabotage and privatize it, and support Congress' efforts to adequately fund it.
Today, the House acted decisively to reverse Trump's efforts to undermine the Postal Service and sabotage the election.
Now, it is time for the do-nothing Republican Senate to end its vacation and act to save the Post Office and protect working families. https://t.co/JJMDhMmPfx

Sad news from Iraq.
Her name is Dr Riham Yaqoob. This doctor & woman rights activist was assassinated today in Basra.
Yaqoob had been at the forefront of women's rights movement in Basra.
Such a huge loss for the world. Rest in power Riham.
Solidarity to our Iraqi sisters.
I am an American, a journalist, as a Jew. Much as I am always on guard against anti-Semitism, I am increasingly concerned that we are doing very little, if anything at all, to stem the tide of Islamophobia both here and abroad.
@johncusack@doctorow Hello Mr. Cusack, Is there any way to reach you (email that the public or fans might correspond to you on, preferably ) about an idea regarding the USPS?
