@JamesGunn Cannot wait to see @MichaelKeaton fully reprise the role of Batman. Please don't let this be a one time reprisal. Batman Beyond. Kingdom Come.

Hello to all our new viewers who've encountered our 2019 segment on voting machines through conservative media using it to push Trump's voter-fraud claims! First: sorry we swear so much! But second: the way people are using that segment is horseshit!

"If there is to be a rebirth of this American experiment, our leaders should take heart that it has happened before, but never without blood, sacrifice, social transformation and epic political fights," writes @davidwblight https://t.co/d9WbhdNFnk

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Today, American democracy has been granted a stay of execution. We should use the time ahead to strengthen it, in the face of murderous demagogues-in-waiting.

I'm glad you've finally realized this about yourself.

@americamag You cannot refer to Trump as pro-life. His anti-abortion stance is a sham. It is an appeal to evangelicals. He supports death penalty & wants to strip millions of health care. Nothing pro-life about him.

Everything Was Awesome. Here it is, the dystopian final essay in my formerly Pollyanna-ish Everything Is Awesome series. Be excellent to each other, and may everything one day be awesome again. ⁦@POLITICOMag⁩ #2020worstyear https://t.co/4tmULzQ3PT

‘I think the American people see through this raw use of political power‘ — Watch @amyklobuchar tear into Ted Cruz for the hypocrisy surrounding Trump’s SCOTUS nominee

[NowThis Impact @nowthisimpact]

Father @JamesMartinSJ believes to call yourself ‘pro-life’ means to revere all human life—including the Black community, migrants and refugees, people experiencing homelessness, LGBTQ+ teens, and people in prison—not just unborn children

The Republican party didn't publish a 2020 platform. But of course it has one. Here it is, in 13 points. https://t.co/NAgDd0ll5v

..to contrast w/atheism of communist states
3. The pledge didn't gain any popularity until 1890s to mark 400th anniversary of Columbus & growing American nationalism to support American imperialism. It's not deeply rooted in American history. First pledge appeared after Civil War

[Mark Spiconardi @mashpn]

There you go lying again.
1. The word God was not removed from the pledge during the convention. Stop trying to rally your "Christian" evangelical base.
2. If you knew anything about history, you'd know the pledge didn't have God until it was added during the Cold War in 1954.

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

The Democrats took the word GOD out of the Pledge of Allegiance at the Democrat National Convention. At first I thought they made a mistake, but it wasn’t. It was done on purpose. Remember Evangelical Christians, and ALL, this is where they are coming from-it’s done. Vote Nov 3!

How would one truly "hurt God"? By not caring for the poor (Mt 25). By not welcoming the stranger (Mt 25). And by slandering others (Mt 5).

Says the man whose mishandling of COVID-19 has left nearly 160K Americans dead, repeatedly attempted to strip health care from millions, betrayed our country by allowing Russia to place bounties on our soldiers, and undermined democratic institutions at every turn.
