Trump states in public “vote once… you won’t need to in four years.” Something terribly wrong with this fellow. Nobody of any
decency in either party who treasures freedom wants to contemplate the end of democracy.
Elon Musk has deleted this tweet of him calling Donald Trump too old to be President.
Well, he can delete it but he can not erase it. It's not going anywhere.
RETWEET IT.
#TrumpIsTooOldToBePresident
By now, you've probably heard of Project 2025.
It's Donald Trump's dark plan to consolidate power and roll back freedoms in a second term.
So let's talk about it – and why it's so dangerous.
(Thread 🧵)
A Democrat was in the White House when my family was sent to the internment camps in 1941. It was an egregious violation of our human and civil rights.
It would have been understandable if people like me said they’d never vote for a Democrat again, given what had been done to us.
But being a liberal, being a progressive, means being able to look past my own grievances and concerns and think of the greater good. It means working from within the Democratic party to make it better, even when it has betrayed its values.
I went on to campaign for Adlai Stevenson when I became an adult. I marched for civil rights and had the honor of meeting Dr. Martin Luther King. I fought for redress for my community and have spent my life ensuring that America understood that we could not betray our Constitution in such a way ever again.
Bill Clinton broke my heart when he signed DOMA into law. It was a slap in the face to the LGBTQ community. And I knew that we still had much work to do. But I voted for him again in 1996 despite my misgivings, because the alternative was far worse. And my obligation as a citizen was to help choose the best leader for it, not to check out by not voting out of anger or protest.
There is no leader who will make the decision you want her or him to make 100 percent of the time. Your vote is a tool of hope for a better world. Use it wisely, for it is precious. Use it for others, for they are in need of your support, too.
As we near a possible government shutdown, remember that one of the biggest deficit drivers of the past 20 years are GOP tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations. The issue isn't programs that help millions of Americans, it's giveaways to the rich.
“If he’s sitting home watching TV, maybe he should get up and go to work.”
I’d like to thank Andrew Cuomo for bringing much-needed comfort to the American people by verbally dissecting Donald Trump for 9 whole minutes.
Your must-see video of the day.
😱OMG...@realDonaldTrump's "dream team" that's advising on how/when to re-open America is a TOTAL nightmare.
Not. A. Single. Doctor. Or. Scientist.
Many THOUSANDS of Americans are DYING from this deadly #coronavirus, and this motley crew is supposed to "save" us.🤬
