We're at the "his approval ratings are so low that he gets them to stop measuring them after 80+ years" part of the fascism. thehill.com/homenews/media/5…

Donald Trump is everything we were ever taught was wrong.
This feels like more than an election.
It’s a referendum on whether being good or decent even matters any more.

It's heart breaking when someone you admired turns into (or always was) a bad person and on the wrong side of history. 😢
(Read the whole thread and tell me Elon Musk isn't a white nationalist and probably bigoted in other ways.)

🧵 Let’s talk about “wedging” on social media.
Imagine there’s someone on Twitter saying something you don’t want them to say. Perhaps this is ideological, or perhaps you’re being paid. What do you do? First, you try to shut them up.

Just finished King In The Wilderness on HBO. It was good.
Our (gen X) education made racism and segregation seem so long ago. But, MLK Jr died only 8 years before I was born. It's *recent* history.

💯 I recommend everyone listen to Ultra. It's extremely eye opening.
Please listen to this podcast.
A key lesson from @maddow:
It was individual, independent Americans who helped expose the Nazi infiltration of the United States in the 30s and 40s that came perilously close to toppling the government.
That’s all of us. 🇺🇸

So let me get this straight, on a Christian holiday celebrating a family of migrants that was rejected from multiple homes and thus gave birth to a baby in a barn - the governor of Texas sent a busload of humans desperate for a home into 14 degree weather to punk the VP?

Capitol Police valiantly defended our democracy when it came under attack on January 6.
Many still bear the physical and mental scars of that awful day.
Today, we honor them with Congressional Gold Medals, the highest honor Congress can bestow.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Today, we honored the @CapitolPolice & @DCPoliceDept who bravely defended the Capitol on January 6 by awarding them the Congressional Gold Medal.
They held the line & won against a violent mob. We owe them a debt of gratitude we can never repay.
You are heroes. Thank you.

Unbelievable this spoiled brat, narcissist, serial criminal, racist, amoral, seditious, cult leader is still a free man.
BREAKING: Donald Trump, who tried to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election and inspired a deadly riot at the Capitol in a desperate attempt to keep himself in power, has filed to run for president again in 2024. n.pr/3THqnJM
End DST! Stop the clock changing INSANITY!
Can we please do this?

🖋 Sign “End Daylight Saving Time & Restore Permanent Standard Time Nationwide” and I’ll deliver a copy to your officials: nitter.siddz.com/messages/compose?recip…
📨 No. 1,434 is from Chris to @RepBlumenauer, @SenJeffMerkley, @RonWyden and 1 more #ORpol
ALT The letter subject is: End Daylight Saving Time & Restore Permanent Standard Time Nationwide and the body is: Please end Daylight Saving Time (DST) and restore permanent Standard Time nationwide, for lasting health, safety, and prosperity. Please reject pressure from special interests to retry deadly permanent DST. Permanent Standard Time (Sleep Protection) keeps sunrise before 8am year-round in most states. It lets most Americans sleep naturally past sunrise every day. It aligns clocks to circadian rhythms, preserves morning sunlight, and protects start times for schoolchildren, farmers, and other working adults. It’s the natural time, defined by sun and longitude. Professional polls show it has the most nationwide support. Doctors, teachers, and community leaders urge it’s best for immunity, longevity, mood, alertness, sports, education, productivity, earnings, environment, and civil liberties. It can be done by striking just one paragraph from the Uniform Time Act (15 USC 260a).
I'm so disappointed in @elonmusk. The Republicans (which I was most of my life) did an INSURRECTION! Most of them will not even recognize it. Some that do CELEBRATE it.
To independent-minded voters:
Shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties, therefore I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the Presidency is Democratic.
It's so demoralizing that this is necessary.
-There weren’t 2 hammers.
- Cops didn’t stand there.
- The glass wasn’t broken from the inside.
- The guy wasn’t in his underwear.
- Pelosi didn’t say he knew the guy to 911 and never said his name.
- There were security cameras who recorded it.
- The guy confessed.

This is mass illness.
Opening prayer today at Eric Trump and Michael Flynn’s QAnon event: “God, open the eyes of Pres Trump’s understanding, that he will know how to implement divine intervention. And you will not surround him with RINO trash, in the name of Jesus.”

Listening to this again today, I just can’t get over the fact that Hannity released it. If 1,000 democratic strategists spent 1,000 hours trying to design something to make Biden look good, they wouldn’t end up with anything as effective as this
The actual audio of this—as someone who has struggled with drugs and mental health issues and received calls like this from my family—just sort of almost made me cry
