@realTuckFrumper and McConnell is to blame for this, since he enabled Trump to run for a second term.

@drclareharris 100% Clare! I absolutely agree.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law on Monday a bill prohibiting schools from banning books on racial or LGBTQ teachings that could result in fines for any authority in the state that defies the legislation. https://t.co/Pw0V4DDCPM

Joe Biden gave an important speech today about MAGA fascism, but this was the most crucial line:

"Democracies don't have to die at the end of a rifle. They can die when people are silent, when they fail to stand up or condemn threats to democracy. When people willing to give away what's most precious to them because they feel frustrated."

#Fascism has always been unpopular. It can only win when the majority gives up in disgust. Don't let the bastards grind you down.

When government officials lie about vaccine safety, it leads to deadly consequences. Our leaders are supposed to provide accurate, scientifically-backed data. When they fuel anti-fax conspiracies based on pseudo-science, they create vaccine hesitancy, and that leads to greater loss of life.

I’m looking at you, Florida Surgeon General.

Republicans think changing pro-life to pro-baby will help them get votes.

Pro-baby implies anti-mother. Clearly, Republicans don’t care what happens to the women or girls who are forced to give birth.

I hate sharing Twitter links, but this one is a must see.

PragerU is right-wing propaganda that will be taught to k-12 students in Florida, to brainwash them into thinking climate change is not real, the Civil War didn’t happen as it actually did, and so much more. We must do everything we can to stop this.

This is serious. Every state of the United States must reject Fascism.

Build that wall.

“😳Holy indoctrination. The so-called “Moms for Liberty” group is handing out children’s books that include a fairy tale about a “rigged Choosing Day” against “King Donald.” Mentions “Stinky Joe” & “Hillary Queenton.” Written by Kash Patel. Published by Mike Huckabee’s publisher.”
Jenny Cohn

The designated hate group, “Moms for Liberty” hands out propaganda story books for children. Disgusting. These are books that should be banned.

Here is a piece of history I just learned. This is the history we should be teaching kids in school.

Republicans accuse Dems of discrimination. This is rich.

Affirmative action helps lift Black people out of the systemic oppression (discrimination) they have long endured.

But Rs see this as discrimination against white people, giving a white student’s seat to a Black student. It doesn’t matter that affirmative action students make up a small portion of the student body. Rs want white privilege to be absolute. In other words, Rs want the systemic discrimination against Blacks to continue.
