NOW: Students at #UNChapelHill are taking shelter in the same exact classrooms, at the same exact time as they were TWO WEEKS AGO.
The same politicians that mocked us yesterday, demanding change, are letting us live in fear AGAIN today.
Their apathy is our hell.
Fun fact: Every government shutdown in the last 30 years occurred when Republicans had control of the House of Representatives.
Last time it happened, it drove people to food pantries and forced an $8b hit to the economy. They treat people missing paychecks like it’s no big deal
What Minnesota Democrats have passed this year with their ONE seat majority:
—Right to abortion

—Carbon-free electricity by 2040

Voting matters.

Holy shit. THIS is how you launch a campaign for US Senate in deep Red Tennessee. Gloria Johnson is running, she’s not pulling back any punches, & she’s going to make Marsha Blackburn & Tennessee Republicans find out. This ad is amazing. Watch & share👇
trump knew he was going to lose the 2020 election long before votes were cast. And because his stupid ego couldn't handle it, he cried "rigged" long before.
By setting his followers expectations to think the election was going to be stolen, it just confirmed what they "knew" ahead of time.
And then he declared himself the winner while votes were still being counted to compound the frustration of his supporters when Biden was declared the winner.
And then they rolled out all of those idiotic "Stop the Steal" efforts to squeeze money out from people who probably couldn't even afford it.
And then, we learned tonight that Roger Stone was already setting the wheels in motion BECAUSE HE RECORDED THE FUCKING PLAN ON VIDEO.
Democrats may be many things, but we don't cheat on elections. If we did, George W. Bush wouldn't have won (twice) and Hillary would've been President.
Say what you will, but NONE of our candidates ever did the insurrection thing that trump pulled. Al Gore took his case all the way to the Supreme Court, but when it was over, he just went home.
Hillary Clinton made her concession speech the very next day. And Republican politicians know this. ALL OF THEM KNOW. They KNOW trump lost. They KNOW he is a fucking prolific criminal, and they are mostly too chickenshit to call him out for it.
And the ones who ARE calling him out for it now waited so damn long to open their yaps, because they were busy going along for the ride until now. None of those cowards deserve to be President.
Joe Biden may be old. He might not always say the right thing. He might stumble if you leave a sandbag in his fucking path (I would too at 55 years old). He's not perfect. But we don't need perfect.
We need experienced and decent and smart. We need a guy who doesn't say "I alone can fix it) and then doesn't fix shit.
We need a President who doesn't hire the worst people. We need a President who inspires people to be the best they can be, instead of one who tells them it's OK to do their worst. We need a leader who isn't running to avoid prison.
I'm ready to turn the page on trump.
We need four more years of President Biden.

BREAKING: Major government ethics watchdog demand that Donald Trump be immediately “disqualified from holding any public office, including the Office of the President, under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment.”
But it gets even WORSE for Trump…
The watchdog, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), issued a blistering official statement explaining their demand that reads as follows:
“On January 20, 2017, Donald Trump took the oath of office, swearing to ‘preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,'” CREW wrote on its website in a preview of its nearly 90-page report. “Almost four years to the day after taking that oath, on January 6, 2021, Trump caused a violent insurrection that nearly overthrew an election and shattered our democracy.
The January 6 insurrection es the culmination of a multi-part scheme by Trump and his allies to use lies, intimidation, coercion and ultimately violence to keep Trump in office.
Donald Trump is the living embodiment of the threat that the Fourteenth Amendment’s framers sought to protect American democracy against when they barred constitutional oath-breakers from office.
The 14th Amendment does not require a criminal conviction for disqualification. Significant evidence demonstrates that Trump voluntarily aided the January 6th insurrection through numerous overt acts and words in furtherance of the insurrection, even spreading theories of a ‘stolen’ and rigged’ election, pressuring state election administration officials, state and federal lawmakers and Vice President Pence to overturn the election results and weaponizing his Justice Department to do the same.
When his extra-legal attempts to overturn the election failed, he resorted to inciting violence. Trump assembled and later sent the mob to stop, by force, Congress and the Vice President from fulfilling their constitutional obligations under the Twelfth Amendment and the Electoral Count Act to certify the election results of the 2020 presidential election. And the mob did just that.
President Trump violated his constitutional duties on January 6, failing to act for 187 minutes, watching the attack unfold on television.
The risk of a repeat or escalation of January 6th poses such an existential threat to our democracy that it demands the use of all available legal tools to prevent it. Donald Trump is neither above the law, nor is he above democracy. Overwhelming evidence establishes that President Trump was the central cause of and a participant in the insurrection. Because of that, Trump is disqualified from holding any public office, including the Office of the President, under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.”
