Liz Cheney responds to Trump saying last night that the Civil War could have been avoided through “negotiation”:
“Which part of the Civil War “could have been negotiated”? The slavery part? The secession part? Whether Lincoln should have preserved the Union? Question for members of the GOP—the party of Lincoln—who have endorsed Donald Trump: How can you possibly defend this?”
Three years ago, a violent mob stormed the Capitol to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power. It was not just an attack on Congress, but on our fundamental freedom.
Today, we all must do our part to preserve American Democracy, which Lincoln called “the last best hope of earth.”
In trying to rewrite the facts of January 6, Trump is trying to steal history in the same way he tried to steal the election.
But we know the truth, because we saw it with our own eyes.
Trump’s mob wasn’t a peaceful protest. It was a violent assault.
@FPBland Fox and this liar are just like Pravda which for decades spread false stories to the Russian people and the world. Propaganda from Republican Party. Their goal seems to be to change America to the Russian Communist model of the 1940s and 50s. #FoxPravda
Hawkins was arrested for impersonating a police officer. Now he’s been named by @GovRonDeSantis as a UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT. The shame he brings on home state of #Florida . Total embarrassment. https://t.co/bSl7YkXJAX
It's not just Tucker Carlson and TFG who spout Putin's lies. Would-be authoritarians around the globe who rely on racist white grievance are allied with Russia, Le Pen fits a familiar pattern
Forced arbitration takes away Americans' right to seek justice after race discrimination and other abuses at the hands of corporate America.
Tell Congress: #EndForcedArbitration for race discrimination. Take action now: https://t.co/tVGByY6PkC
Are you kidding?? Florida teachers are allowed to teach Confederate History Month, but AP black history was banned for subject matter?! This is CRAZY.

BREAKING: A Vietnam veteran constituent of Rep. Lauren Boebert pens a letter torching her for introducing a disgusting bill to make the AR-15 the "National Gun" of America — a perverse idea given the fact that it's the weapon of choice for mass shooters.
The constituent, Andy Wiessner, calls the legislation a "cruel joke" and slams Boebert for trying to glorify a "weapon of war" whose bullets are "designed to tear human flesh to pieces."
"I am a Vietnam War vet, and the M-16s we carried there were an offshoot of the AR-15," writes Wiessner. "The Army always told us it was the best rifle in the world because of how efficiently it killed ‘the enemy."
He goes on to decry that we see "almost nightly on TV" that the AR-15 has "shredded the bodies of innumerable men, women, schoolchildren, and even babies."
Of course, gun-fetishizing psychopaths like Lauren Boebert don't care about the bloodshed. They care about NRA money and courting the votes of other gun nuts.
Retweet if you support banning the AR-15 for good!
BREAKING: Democratic Governor Roy Cooper of North Carolina has just vetoed a contentious bill that aimed to prohibit the majority of abortions after 12 weeks. With this said, it is likely that Republicans will attempt to override the veto.
Cooper stated: "This bill has nothing to do with making women safer, and everything to do with banning their reproductive freedom."
I stand with Cooper on this decision and feel that access to abortions should be between a woman and her doctor. Everyone's situation is different and their beliefs are as well. The government should not determine when or if a woman should be able to have a procedure.
I am completely against using abortion as a form of birth control, but I am even more against government deciding what women can and can not do.
Thoughts?
