I agree with you. It was not my tweet. I would not have tweeted it and I did not tweet it.

Will that be true for our school children as well?😏The next two years will be a perfect time for common sense gun safety legislation. @JoeBiden

Today’s patriots realize that most of those who call themselves “patriots” today are anything but. The true patriot refuses to minimize their danger.

There are two main reasons why the problem we have now was allowed to fester as long as it was: 1) that its adherents are primarily white, at 2) that some in the Republican party saw it as a political opportunity that could be “managed” if it got out of hand.

Fascism, like addiction or cancer, is a progressive disease. Everything you do either feeds it or stops it. Half measures, half truths or any level of normalization whatsoever will only give it an upper hand.

Who he was on Wednesday is no different than the man he’s been for the last 5 years. The neo-fascist movement he aroused must be treated with the utmost seriousness now; those who enabled it should have very little say in what that looks like. Their calls for “unity” are hollow.
New details from @maggieNYT on what Trump was doing during the riot: "He was pleased... He knew what was happening... He just didn't want to do anything."
Says only thing that snapped him out of it was being told he would face legal exposure based on what he said at the rally.

That’s completely illogical. Read the article. Even Schumer has said he could come in at $50,000. Tiny steps won’t “make the government run,” but they could lose Democrats the House in 2022.

I actually don’t think we should see it as an acceptable start. Are you under the impression it would build from there? I’m not. If we accept it now then that $10,000 will always be thrown in our face going forward: “With you people nothing is ever enough!” #CancelStudentDebt

Former WH officials going on record to say that “Wednesday changed everything” are being rightfully ridiculed. It wasn’t Wednesday that changed everything; it was Trump’s election that changed everything. They aided and abetted his malfeasance while it served them.

Prayers for Congresswoman Jayapal 🙏🏻
I just received a positive COVID-19 test result after being locked down in a secured room at the Capitol where several Republicans not only cruelly refused to wear a mask but recklessly mocked colleagues and staff who offered them one.

This was not just a “national tragedy.” It was a violent uprising intended to overthrow a democratic election, and you’re darn right how many of us want to see those who perpetrated the deadly event held accountable. It’s not a left-right issue, it’s an American issue.

This is the “tranquilizing drug of gradualism” that MLK referred to. #IncrementalismNotEnough
Joe Biden set to call on Congress to immediately cancel $10,000 in student loan debt for all borrowers.
