Happily married lifelong Democratic Baby Boomer. Biden has accomplished more than any other President, and Harris and Walz will continue what he started.
@BlackKnight10k We should set up community centers where we can support each other. If someone feels attacked, we should have a crew ready to mobilize in an instant.
We need to fight the corruption - AND protect each other.
@BlackKnight10k@flowabug I’m waiting patiently hoping intel is working behind the scenes. It’s impossible for me to believe it was not rigged. IMPOSSIBLE! I will never believe they won the house senate and presidency. Never!
@mariashriver How very prophetic. America is lost in a cult. Such embarrassment. How it has fallen. All because a reality TV star couldn't take a joke.
Charles Schulz wrote this letter in reply to a 10-year-old kid who had written and asked, “What makes a good citizen?” Although this letter was written in 1970, almost 54 years to the day, it very much reads as if it could have been written today. Let’s keep asking ourselves this question, as well as trying to be good citizens. Let’s help others to be good, to be kind, and to keep helping others, every single day. #movehumanityforward
Mass shooters don’t choose the AR-15 because it looks “cool.” They choose it, because they can kill upwards of 30 people before needing to reload.
On Sept 28th, 1982, 12 year old Mary Kellerman was hospitalized after being poisoned by a killer who laced a bottle of Tylenol that was on a store shelf, with cyanide. She died the next morning. A day later, six more would die from poisoned Tylenol.
By October 5th, Johnson & Johnson had issued a nationwide recall of 31 million bottles of Tylenol, and launched a massive advertising campaign to get people not to consume any of their products that contained acetaminophen (Tylenol)
The 1982 event inspired a rapid and radical shift in how certain products were sent out, quickly prompting manufacturers to start using tamperproof packaging. Untold lives have been saved in the years since.
The crisis management response by Johnson & Johnson is taught today as a model of corporate public relations and public safety.
These fucking shootings should be SIMPLE to fix. We KNOW how to rapidly bring about a massive reduction in school shootings and the senseless deaths of children and staff. We KNOW how.
It’s not happening, because organizations like the NRA spend millions upon millions of dollars to make sure GOP politicians do NOT allow those solutions to be implemented.
The NRA rewards the GOP for allowing our children to continue being slaughtered.
It’s NOT that we don’t know how to crush this. That, has never been the problem.
Is anyone still here. Are my tweets completely restrained now. I’m here doing the best I can with little to no response. If you see me please drop a 💙 at the very least & if you’re in a generous mood please RT. I’m just trying to find out if any voice left at all.
@BlackKnight10k Nobody seems to be talking about how he had a 93% turnover rate in his first administration & is appointing many elected officials already in office which will either force a special election or have their governor appoint a replacement, & he’ll replace those appointments anyway
If you think democracy is gone, you're not reading this: You've already abandoned social media and thrown in the towel.
Thus...since you just read this, congratulate yourself. You've decided to stay in the fight and dig in! You're my kind of person.
What angers me most is that Democrats are quote literally capitulating to an incoming dictatorship and his destructive authoritarian regime without so much as a shout. They are just handing over the keys to the US govt and telling us it’s all going to be okay.
This is former GOP Rep. Michael Grimm. He was recently involved in a tragic accident that has left him paralyzed and is seeking $2.5 million on GoFundMe to cover his expenses.
Grimm voted against the Affordable Care Act to block health care access for millions of Americans.
Who wrote this:
“It would be safer, perhaps, to stay silent—to avoid challenging a President with control over powerful institutions and legions of loyalists. But history has shown us the cost of such silence. In times of crisis, too many people in Germany thought they could just wait it out, only to find themselves complicit in atrocities and in their own nation’s ruin. So, no, I won’t be silent. And neither will the millions of decent people who recognize what’s at stake and who see through those who divide us and celebrate indecency and cruelty cloaked in ‘it’s better for the country.’ We stand for something better—and we won’t back down.”
@SarahIronside6 My mother is an admin in a state level department of education. She has been a special education teacher for 25+ years and is the state's first dyslexia specialist. She hates the department and constantly tells us how it hampers actual education.
Since this place is crawling with MAGA and trump voters I have a question for you. What do you think will happen to all the special needs children in this country when there is no more Department of Education?
