I can't always tweet about politics but it's always on my mind. If I don't embrace my silly side too, I might implode. Want peace but angry AF. #Resist

I don’t keep up with the left infighting. There’s too much news to consume. But sometimes, when he’s criticized, I’ll review the alleged proof & think, “OK, I interpreted that entirely differently.” Choosing hope isn’t a bad thing. It could even be everything. ❤️ to TYT family.

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

I've been trying to figure out why I'm more optimistic now than I was before the election, even though I was so against the guy who won. I know now. MAGA is not my mortal enemy (and neither is the extreme left). My mortal enemy is the establishment. And they have been defeated!

@AnaKasparian I’m not really here. Just popped in after choosing not to deactivate Twitter. But had to check on Ana. She’s amazing. That damn clip. The detachment from reality. ‘Queen Latifah! She never endorses anyone!’ FFS, sometimes there’s nothing left to say except, “Fuck off!”

[Ana Kasparian @AnaKasparian]

Yeah, but Queen Latifah endorsed her #flawless campaign. Let’s focus on what’s important here.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

More than 17 misconduct complaints were filed against Officer Chauvin, but he stayed on the force for years.

That is outrageous. George Floyd would still be alive if we had real police accountability.

We need a massive overhaul of policing in America. https://t.co/PZSVADhbX8

@funnylittlehate I can recommend the Leesa pillows. There is some off gassing you need to let pass but it gets more comfortable with every use. It retains its height but lets you sink in too. I wasn't getting on with regular cotton or polyester pillows. They'd squish too easily or stay too high.

[NeedsMusts @NeedsMusts]

@funnylittlehate I think he's laying the foundation for a full on claim that the pandemic was Obama's creation. I think he'll tie in everything he's ever claimed about Obama too. And I think he wants to make racist tropes linking disease to persons of color government policy. It's getting worse.

[NeedsMusts @NeedsMusts]

I completely agree. The Democratic Party is failing the public. There's a part of me that wonders if they don't want to win in Nov because then, they might be blamed for the next Covid19 waves. The leadership seems that insulated & delusional to me. The pandemic is revealing all.

[Briahna Joy Gray @briebriejoy]

I wish the Democratic Party would consolidate around a plan to save the post office and bail out American families as efficiently as they consolidated to stop Bernie Sanders.

[NeedsMusts @NeedsMusts]

It's persistently illogical to expect more from voters than from leaders. Many of the responses to this tweet fail to appreciate that this reality exists and therefore, the leaders must do something about it. Get this passionate, demanding and critical of Pelosi! #democracy

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

The millennial experience is entering the job market during the Great Recession, barely getting back on our feet only to be knocked back down by a pandemic and scolded for not being enthusiastic about a candidate who wants to let people like Larry Summers manage the recovery

[NeedsMusts @NeedsMusts]

I continue to be horrified and disgusted by the right wing in this country. They have no shame, no regard for life & no love for the values of this country. Wisconsin's Supreme Court just pushed for death for a "political win". The language they used! #covid19 #sciencesaveslives

[NeedsMusts @NeedsMusts]

Agreed! I got a lump in my chest. Powerful, important and revealing.

[Elron Steele @elron6900]

I'm not Jewish, or religious in any way TBH, but there's wisdom in this thread ...

[Ana Kasparian @AnaKasparian]

Same people who trashed Medicare for All & incessantly whined about Bernie supporters being "mean" are demanding free Covid-19 testing/treatment.

You don’t have affordable healthcare b/c the character assassins who parade around as journalists are extremely good at their jobs.

[NeedsMusts @NeedsMusts]

@GOP always taking things too damn far... #healthcare #pandemic #coronavirus #abortionishealthcare #AbortionIsAWomansRight @DNC stop playing games with these restrictive jerks. Be a real party, FFS!

[NeedsMusts @NeedsMusts]

😂

[Rita Wilson @RitaWilson]

Thank you for the best laugh of the day!!! You’re awesome @Trevornoah

[NeedsMusts @NeedsMusts]

@rzskennedy @J_ManPrime21 I've been thinking the same! He promised his supporters healthcare, in his unique way. He's unpredictable even when he's predictable. And the @GOP can barely control him. It would be a "genius" move. Unlikely but his self-preservation impulses may inspire him... Weirder & weirder

[NeedsMusts @NeedsMusts]

@Duo_Dab @BlakeleyBartley @soledadobrien @krystalball @cenkuygur "Leaving blank" isn't not voting. There's nuance to what she's saying. To leave blank, you have to show up/vote but you are also saying "I'm not voting for THAT candidate". You can show up and make your voice heard. @DNC carried us to this moment. Hold the real power accountable.

[NeedsMusts @NeedsMusts]

@GardenResist1 @america_vest @soledadobrien @krystalball @cenkuygur Tell it to unregistered voters. Better yet, fight for voting rights. Let's put an end to long lines, mid-week voting, gerrymandering, closed primaries, etc. Let's have automatic enrollment too. Encourage your chosen candidate to inspire voters. I'll fall in line no more. @DNC

[NeedsMusts @NeedsMusts]

What @soledadobrien misses, despite her polish & intelligence - therefore, she does so deliberately - is @krystalball & @cenkuygur were having a discussion that night. They didn't even agree! They aren't trying to control or influence their viewers. They inform & empower. @TYT

[Soledad O'Brien @soledadobrien]

This is a really great example of White privilege in action: from @krystalball and @cenkuygur

[NeedsMusts @NeedsMusts]

@soledadobrien @krystalball @cenkuygur Another attack to suppress voices you don't agree with. You could listen to them, evolve, become more inclusive. The identity politics, double standards, misinformation, distortion of words & facts... It's not working out well for MOST people. Ignoring that is privileged & cruel.

[NeedsMusts @NeedsMusts]

@SanaSaeed I can't help but wonder how much overlap there is between the voters who were mad at @TulsiGabbard for her present, impeachment vote & those who say it's cool that @ewarren didn't endorse. I'm tired of all the double standards. It's totally okay to dump on SOME women, it seems.

[NeedsMusts @NeedsMusts]

@edfischman @MarxsSocks @krystalball I don't understand why people trust the media so much. My goodness, I've seen more accountability demanded of weathermen. Yet, we all know weather is changeable! People are being given a real chance to fight for what they know is wrong; but they just won't listen for themselves.
