We must #TaxTheRich
Telling Dems to “unite” with those who enabled the insurrection and to “heal” the country a week after being hunted down by armed mobs in their place of work is textbook gaslighting. Trump saying if they don’t stop, people will be “very angry” is the hallmark of a serial abuser.

Especially white Americans don’t like to hear it, but we got to the “coup” stage of fascism because we didn’t impeach at the concentration camps, cages, family separations, beatings, gassing, disappearances. Fascism’s a pattern of escalation and nobody tried to really break it
OMG.This just crossed AP wire. Our demands met! MI Governor who took over Flint, replaced mayor w/his lackey, told lackey to make cuts, so he took the city off the pure water of Lake Huron & made Flint ppl drink out of the dirty Flint River. 10K+ kids now with perm brain damage!
NEW: House moving TONIGHT to fine members not wearing masks on floor, per sr Dem aide.

-Fines deducted from member pay; can't use campaign funds or member expense acct
-Fines for noncompliance in non-chamber House spaces under consideration
All these GOP “pro-police” slogans were never actually abt safety.
It was always abt upholding a system of state violence that targets Black ppl & ppl of color.
You can tell by how regularly GOP members defend crimes, reject accountability, & push officers when *they* want to.
Yesterday, I called for fines to be levied on every Member who cruelly and recklessly refuses to wear a mask in the Capitol during a raging pandemic.
Tonight, the House of Representatives voted to adopt this commonsense public health guideline. It must be enforced immediately!
Just had to go through a metal detector before entering the House floor. Some colleagues are frustrated (guess which ones) by this requirement. Now they know how HS students in my district feel. Suck it up buttercups. Y’all brought this on yourselves.
The hypocrisy of the Trump thuggery can be epitomized by a seditious rioter beating a police officer at the Capitol with an American flag. It was never about the flag, or “blue lives matter.” These were mere props in a movement fueled by power, injustice, and racism.
This is Eugene Goodman.
He held back the terrorists just long enough for the Senators to escape. He single-handedly saved the Republic.
Biden should award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. THIS is what a patriot looks like. #TrumpInsurrection#MAGATerrorist#NoFlyList
