Christopher Moynihan is a violent insurrectionist who was pardoned by Donald Trump.

He was just re-arrested for threatening to kill Rep. Hakeem Jeffries.

He shouldn’t have been pardoned in the first place.

#StudentsTalkPolitics REMEMBER: Just because people BELIEVE something does NOT mean it is true. Whether the protests were violent or not is an empirical fact that can be measured.

I feel you, Shipmate (1987-1993 USN vet). I still love the country and I think we'll survive, but I hate this government and the pretenders who have the authority.

When the bad guys, the seditionists, the thugs, the terrorists, and the lawless holds get hired by the government, you know we are under a fascist regime!

Just because someone (POTUS) didn't hear about the scientific evidence doesn't mean it wasn't made public. However, some scientists are happy to accommodate the doofus in the White House πŸ™„

it’s fun that the β€œfacts don’t care about your feelings” people make every single decision entirely based on how they feel

In case anyone's confused, yes, slavery was bad.

Wait, holy shit. Texas Republicans forced Texas Dems to sign forms to authorize 24 hour surveillance on themselves to be able to leave the Texas floor.

Every D but 1 is now under guard by the Republican Party.

That’s fucking NUTS!!!!!

1. We have normalized having a toddler in the White House who uses random " marks ("HOTTEST"?). How is any of the below normal? How are we okay with this?
2. We have a president who doesn't want us to cover, in our museums "how bad Slavery was". Was it not bad? Imagine if Reagan had said this? FFS

"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.

We are governed and plagued by the most frightened human beings on the planet who are in violent denial of just how frightened they are.

The essence of fascism isn’t strength. It’s insecurity. It’s weakness. These are the most brittle and sad people.
