Here's a sentence I thought I'd never write:
The former head of the NSA, a retired U.S. Army general pleads the fifth when asked if he supports a peaceful transfer of power.
@tom_peters Smoking Gun. Trump knew members of crowd had deadly weapons & still directed them to Capitol. That combined with his silence when violence began = criminal intent to violently overthrow US government & prolong his power. Yes, 🇺🇸 was nearly lost; next time we may not be as lucky.

If you’re against abortion, don’t get one.
If you’re against contraception, don’t take any.
If you’re against same-sex relationships, don’t have one.
If you’re against same-sex marriage, don’t marry someone of same gender.
Do not impose your beliefs & religion on all Americans.
The idea that an 18-year-old can walk into a store and buy assault weapons is just wrong.
What in God’s name do you need an assault weapon for except to kill someone?
This is not rare. Guns are the leading cause of death for kids in the US. The shooting in Buffalo was the worst this year for less than two weeks. This is not rare.
John Roberts called for an FBI investigation into the leak of the decision
Yet he never called for the FBI to investigate:
Clarence Thomas’s wife for plotting to overthrow the govt & selling influence
The 4,500 tips about Kavanaugh’s misconduct
SCOTUS is utterly ILLEGITIMATE
People are like "What about Kanavaugh's poor neighbours? Why should THEY be subjected to this?" And then I found out the protest was organized -by- one of Kavanaugh's neighbours, damn this rocks
As a survivor, I am thinking about how Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas are credibly accused of having violated and harassed women and are now the ones about to deny us our right to abortion care.
Abusers do not belong in public office. Period.
@tom_peters Pretty much everyone agrees that the first part of what you wrote will happen. But where we go from here comes down to the demographic of white women in red & swing states.
@elonmusk For a guy who has complained lately abt how radical the left is you're being awfully quiet abt politics today given the extreme & consequencial decisions of the other side.. are we far enough to right for you yet or will more 14th amendment protections need to go?
Repealing Roe v Wade isn't going to go the way SCOTUS or the GOP thinks it's going to go.
Play with fire, get burned. Don't say we didn't warn you.
Expect us.
It is no coincidence that the same people who overturn Roe also prevent voting rights and encourage partisan gerrymandering. They fear the will of the majority. In other words, democracy.
Congress must pass legislation that codifies Roe v. Wade as the law of the land in this country NOW. And if there aren’t 60 votes in the Senate to do it, and there are not, we must end the filibuster to pass it with 50 votes.
