It was a month ago when I found this broken eagle while cleaning the Capitol after the insurrection. I kept it as a tender reminder of the enormous work ahead to heal. This is one of several symbols I want to share with you as we think what comes next for our nation (THREAD)

#HolocaustRemembranceDay
On this #InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay I am thinking of my grandfather who instilled in me the power of education and made sure I learned the lessons from the past he survived. He didn’t get to meet his namesake but I am passing the lessons on.
The abuse of Lincoln’s second Inaugural speech by GOP seditionists who are making bad faith calls for unity is appalling. Lincoln did indeed say with “Malice towards none and charity for all....”. He said it in the context of finishing the war which had killed 600,000. (1)
This exactly! They aided in insurrection! To say late all just move on and forget about it?! What kind of lesson is that teaching our children?!? They need to be held accountable. All. Of. Them.
You tried to toss out the results of an free and fair election for people wearing “Camp Auschwitz” shirts. Tell me again how they are not fucking Nazis. YOU are to blame. YOU have blood on your hands.
Really sad. At a time of deep national division, President-elect Biden’s choice to call his political opponents literal Nazis does nothing to bring us together or promote healing.
This kind of vicious partisan rhetoric only tears our country apart.
Resigning with 13 days left & many millions already made off of this presidency isn’t courage. We see you, Elaine Chao & Mick Mulvaney
It’s a cowardly attempt to rehabilitate yourself after years of enabling America’s most egregious traitor
We must always remember the complicit
Dr. Fauci lied about masks in March
Dr. Fauci has been distorting the level of vaccination needed for herd immunity
It isn’t just him
Many in elite bubbles believe the American public doesn’t know “what’s good for them” so they need to be tricked into “doing the right thing”
