No matter what my final verdict is on #SHADOWANDBONE, it is a damn RELIEF to watch a fantasy show and not to be bombarded with constant, unrelenting sexual violence toward women
“You live in an echo chamber” isn’t the insult some people seem to think it is. By engaging people who believe monstrous things as if it’s just a difference of opinion, you dignify those monstrous things. White supremacy isn’t an opinion.
Hawley is Senator of Missouri. His constituents are ALL the people of Missouri - which is the same state that JUST elected sister @CoriBush, the first Black woman to ever represent MO in Congress.
So Hawley really needs to clarify who he considers a constituent & who he doesn’t.
Sen. Hawley is trying to wiggle out of inciting a riot that killed 5 by saying “I was just representing my constituents” - but only those who wish to overturn the election and resurrect the Confederacy.
some of us absorbed the lie that when you grow up you have to stop liking fun things and start liking adult things, but the happiest people I know are those who embrace what they love without shame.
Now Hawley is claiming that he “was never attempting to overturn the election” and was merely “representing my constituents.” Does Hawley think Americans are gullible and stupid? They are not, and most people can see through phonies.
Democrats need to treat this relief package (and their legislative agenda) the way McConnell treats Supreme Court nominations: you do what needs to be done to get it done.
There are many domestic terrorists who stormed the Capitol that are receiving minor charges, light bail or no bail, & some DOJ are considering not charging at all.
This sets a horrible precedent for ANOTHER attack because without SEVERE consequences bad people will do this again
OK just to be clear: if I say "we must crack down on serial killers" and you say "why are you launching this thinly veiled personal attack on me" I'm gonna have questions
Any time Mitch McConnell—no longer Senate majority leader—asserts how the Democrats should follow the rules and do what’s right, Democrats should visualize his refusal to hold hearings for Merrick Garland and his ramrodding through Amy Coney Barrett in 8 days.
