The old guard has to go.
If a genie gave Democrats 3 wishes, they'd negotiate it down to 1 wish—then wish for something they think Republicans will like
Democrats continue to prove the stereotype of being feckless appeasers, and we're all worse off for it. We need a true opposition party more than ever—because this aint it

It is truly vital that everyone understand WHAT the insurance they pay for actually does and does not do.

Never suppress the warrior spirit. #Anger is natural—a useful reflex. But transforming it into action? That is a skill. And for a #warrior, it is a way of life.

I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food.
I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

What radicalized you?
Nothing.
Not wanting people to suffer is not radical, it's normal.
Stop thinking it's radical to be empathetic, to care.
Ask what made people think it is normal to act like sadists.
Call out this behavior, because kindness should be the default.

FWIW, Trump focusing on autism is not a distraction from Epstein. He has been obsessed with autism ever since his friendship with Bob Wright, the former head of NBC Universal and the founder of Autism Speaks. Wright was also the person who put him on the Apprentice.

This man is one of the only actual Christians involved in US government.
Texas Republicans torched the wall between church and state—ripping up the Constitution to force the Ten Commandments into every public school classroom.
This isn’t faith. It’s authoritarianism dressed as religion.
Schools aren’t pulpits. And fascism is on the march.

Christian Nationalists pretend that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, but the Constitution never mentions Jesus or Christianity. Not even once. Instead, it bans government promotion of *any* religion. Don't be fooled by their lying propaganda.

Abortion bans are a violation of the separation of church and state.
So are book bans. So are anti-LGBT laws. So are school vouchers.
