Under normal times, past Presidents have been reluctant to speak about the sitting President's actions and policies. It is a time honored tradition, good for democracy. But American democracy is under attack. I urge Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Biden to use their bully pulpits to denounced Trump.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

What happens after we have demonized everyone who doesn’t look, move, or pray exactly like we do? What happens when fascism takes over? We are not doomed to repeat our history. We can learn from it, and we can reject hate and authoritarianism.

Not sure what part of “do not comply in advance” they don’t understand but there is a major disconnect we need to address. Elected officials who ignore the voice of the people AND the expertise of scholars who have dedicated their lives to studying how to fight fascism need to step down.

As the wife of a federal worker and veteran, we are in favor of a shutdown. People need to feel what it’s like to not have a federal government working for them anymore. Maybe then they will wake up. #VoteNoOnCloture

Look, folks, this is it. The entire ballgame. Either we're a Republic of laws & the Constitution, or we have a dictator. This is fascism, & the impeachment vote should be happening today. Every single university president in the country should be out, in front of microphones, condemning this.

Democrats! WTF are you doing??? Y’all should’ve followed this man’s lead, not condemn him! You should’ve taken spines to the SOTU, not ping pong paddles. JFC. I’d put a side-by-side of Al Greene‘s and MTG/Boebert’s censures but guess what you didn’t do? History is watching. WE are watching. 🗳️

Likely circulating among our allies today… “One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, ‘Well, sir, if we don't pay and we’re attacked by Russia, will you protect us?’ I said, ‘No I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.’” 2/10/24

Supporting Putin over Ukraine is a position with single digit support limited to the most fringe of far-right freaks, and it is the official policy of the United States because that's who controls the government.
