Seriously?!? Charlotte was kicked out for who she is. Sanders was kicked out because of what she does; she’s a mouthpiece for an administration that is holding children in cages, some of whom may end up permanently separated from their parents. Does that help clear it up for you?
@halbritz
This is horrifying! My daughter was born in Germany while we were stationed there. It’s hard enough being away from family & dealing w deployments when having a child. Why hurt our military families this way? Makes no sense.

Biden hasn’t gotten enough credit here in the US for the sanctions put on Russia. However, it’s pretty much a world-wide effort. Warms might heart to see us all united against what Putin’s doing to Ukraine.

If you were truly concerned about kids being sexually abused, your attention would be on churches. These are all within just the last month.

You’d be shocked at the number of pastors & church leaders that are arrested for sex crimes against kids every month as well. Glad they caught the bad teachers, tho! There’s no doubt that pedophiles target places where they have access to kids, like schools & churches.

You’re making a mockery of the Supreme Court - OUR Supreme Court. In the process, you‘re also showing every woman in America how very little we matter to men like you. Do it the right way; let the FBI investigate. Why so scared of an investigation?
@NatashaBertrand
Yikes! God bless, Mueller! This investigation has so many different leads to follow - getting hard to follow. It’s interesting to see info on various Repubs drip out w/ some of these reports - starting to see a clearer picture as to why they‘d rather cover for Trump than expose.

I don’t wanna be internet famous, but I would’ve pulled out my camera too if some stranger on the beach started harassing me over what my child was wearing.
And I sure as hell would’ve uploaded the video after the last sentence - & that’s from someone who doesn’t wanna go viral

When people complain about how long the Mueller investigation is taking, this is a good article to show them. There are so many different connections in this Russia investigation - wonder if Mueller ever sleeps?

And the sad part is that Fox News propaganda is powerful. My parents, along with so many other elderly people, watch it faithfully. They’re too trusting and cannot believe that those people (who claim to be Christians) are purposely misleading them.

Very well said. It’s severely impacted my family, some no longer speaking to others. I still have a relationship with my parents but have lost so much respect for them. I don’t know whether I never truly knew who they were or if Fox etc & their age has changed them.
@ThePlumLineGS
Great article! The failure to recognize the power of right-wing talk radio decades ago is part of the reason we’re in this situation. I can’t help but wonder where we’d be if there had been left-wing talk radio all along, as well. Democrats need to learn to fight fire with fire.
@waltshaub
I’ve taken for granted the sacrifices made by those before me that helped to make America beautiful. Before Trump, I naively believed our checks and balances would always safeguard us. I should have been paying more attention the last 20 years. I am now, though & ready to fight.

For those unaware, 28 House Reps (all Republicans) just voted AGAINST a bill to protect child sex abuse victims by addressing the FBI’s mishandling of child sex abuse cases. (The Respect for Child Survivors Act)
Who are they trying to protect? Certainly not children!
@JakeSherman
@RepMarkMeadows
The only ppl I know who don’t think Trump’s a racist are racists as well, so admitting to Trump’s racism would mean admitting to their own.
Not saying Meadows’s a racist, but I’m definitely not saying he isn’t.
To my Twitter friends, I’ve never asked you to retweet one of my tweets but now I’m asking you to do so. I live in Arkansas & am a constituent of Sen. Cotton. I’ve sent him to following email re Judge Jackson’s hearing today, & it’s time he finally answers a constituent’s emails.

It’s past time that Dems that Dems show up to fight. Although I wish it didn’t have to be this way, it’s time Dems call out Republicans & their antics…instead of always being on the defensive. And unfortunately messaging plays such a crucial role!
@janefortruth
Me ex was an assistant youth pastor. When I was 17, people in the church “prophesied/testified” that I was to marry him. I truly believed I had to marry him; otherwise I’d be going against God. I did & he was abusive. Left him a few years later after having 2 kids with him.
@SenTomCotton
I didn’t see Trump mentioned in your statement. Yes, Russia is not our friend, and I’m glad that you agree. However, even more dangerous than Russia is the fact that we have a compromised President who acts in the interests of Russia & not the U.S. For God’s sake, DO SOMETHING!

What’s even worse, they’ve now gotten more people to be against ALL vaccines. My dad had polio as a child & permanently loss use of his left arm. It’s heartbreaking seeing more parents endangering their kids due to these conspiracy theories.
@barcodext
lol. Nope. It was the voters who said if a lawmaker is absent more than 10 days, they can’t run again. The Oregon Supreme Court just upheld what the voters wanted. I think every state should do it. Why pay the salaries of people who refuse to do their work?

She wanted the FBI 2 question her first, but for some reason the GOP is afraid of the FBI looking into it. Kavanaugh knows what 2 expect in order 2 defend himself; she told her story in the WaPo. Plus, I’m sure plenty of GOP operatives will be ready & waiting w/ more floor plans.

I sincerely believe you’re legitimately terrified. Have you called your doctor or psychiatrist? They can help determine what your next steps should be.
Since Trump was elected, Evangelicals have finally shown their true colors.
Make no mistake, they want to turn America into a Theocracy.
They’ve been working towards this for decades.

Regardless of how Musk’s gotten where he is, there’s no arguing he’s been successful.
With that said, there’s also no arguing that Musk has friended some of the worst on Twitter, emboldening them & giving them a much larger platform, which is ultimately bad for our society.

Where is the morality? How can you sleep at night, knowing you’ve aided in the separation of children from their parents? These are “precious beings in His sight”. Please resign and try to find the better you again.

A grand jury is made up of our peers; they’re the ones who voted to indict.
We don’t know what he’s been indicted for yet, but if you haven’t committed crimes, you’re good.
@TiffanyDCross
I live in Arkansas; it’s always been pretty racist here. But under Trump, it’s become more socially-acceptable. Whenever I hear racist comments, I speak out. Taught my kids to do the same. I refuse to allow this to become the new normal. It’s gonna take all of us to fight this.

They’re literally mocking your conspiracy of a gay agenda coming after your children.
You know who was really coming after your kids? A southern Baptist leader. He got by with abusing boys so long because an anti-lgbtq activist covered for him.
@existentialfish
This is why I no longer watch CNN. They give air time to these people who do nothing but lie. Enough! Even if these liars are challenged on their lies, they’ve already won. They got air time to spread their lives. So sick of it!
@donie
I don’t disagree with this. It’s not Facebook’s job to fact-check politicians. I’d feel differently if they didn’t apply this same standard to all politicians.
If they fact-checked pols, it could potentially lead to manipulating elections, even accidentally. 🤷🏻♀️

How was he not “allowed to participate in society”? You’re still free to find other bigots who share your beliefs, as evidenced by many right-wing provocateurs and their followers on this site. However, society as a whole is also free to reject the bigotry.

@nickmmark
He spoke out to debunk the anti-vax nonsense. It’s important for a doctor to speak up about it, especially as the misinformation is gaining traction.
@JonahDispatch
And this is why he has zero chance as a Dem. Sure, there’s a small minority that are anti-vax, but the vast majority of us follow the science. It infuriates me, tho, that ppl believe him. My dad’s left arm is paralyzed due to Polio; if he had his way, we’d have another outbreak.

I’m so sorry. When someone enlists, it not only affects the soldier, it affects the whole family. I was married to someone who served. We lived in Germany. When my son wanted to enlist at 18, I selfishly talked him out of it. I couldn’t bear the thought of losing my young son.

Sure they can, if a jury of our peers votes to indict based on evidence. The sticking point is the evidence…so far they don’t have it. But hey - if they find some - I (and other liberals) would fully support their indictments. We don’t worship political leaders. 🤷🏻♀️
@JustinSimmonsNE
Thank you for your courage. I truly admire you for sacrificing your income in order to take a stand against propaganda. These are dangerous times, and it’s going to take ordinary people like us to determine which way America goes. I pray that more of us will be as brave as you.
@SeanMcElwee
Sean, may I suggest you step back for a moment & reconsider your response? You appear to be excusing his horrifying tweets. When someone promotes killing people - especially someone with a following - they should be exposed. It doesn’t matter whether they’re on the left or right.
