I imagine it struck a nerve with Mika who BTW, spent an inordinate amount of time w/her “cohost” Joe, holding Hillary Clinton to a different standard than they did Tr*mp.

wow. The doubling down of white women either defending Amy or attempting to silence black women is all kinds of wrong. Especially since they seem to engage w/out giving thoughtful consideration to the very real and meaningful conversation taking place. Like it’s an inconvenience.
It was easier to believe a woman-Hillary-was untrustworthy/unlikable/corrupt/hiding something (“paid speeches” am I right Senator?)/rigged a primary (“RIGGED!”) & killed Seth Rich then it was to see truth connected to facts/math/documented history.
Misogony is a mental illness.
@GovHowardDean
We loved his "power move" past Sen Susan Collins on floor of the Senate on way to hug McCain. Just 1 example of his disregard for women.

He can’t. Feinstein however being on the Senate Judiciary Committee and holding seniority has the power to make an impact. Remember she’s the one who dropped the GPS Fusion. She’s a badass. Leon is a pandering dolt.

@DraDeGuardia
Can we all please remember where Bernie was w/his jovial posse on the morning of Pulse/Orlando? I was up early that morning. Mortified when I saw him take to his lawn/say he’d stay in a race he’d already lost. Note: Jane. Meanwhile: HRC/PBO cancelled their campaign launch in WI.
@JFakhredin
because on the morning of Pulse Orlando he and his jovial pose took to his lawn to announce he’d stay in a race he’d already lost. Hillary and President Obama abstained from their event which was to have been the launch of her campaign at Lambeau Field in Wisconsin.

Went to check the small stash I put into storage after I accepted a new position post 2016. This was the first thing I came across-(it remains true & I continue to follow this mantra because

“Dirty play.”
Roll the tape back Martina!
And seriously. Remember your own history when you were considered a “dirty player” with an unfair advantage because you had muscle definition while competing against Chris Everett? Define “dirty!”
Caitlyn is a flawed baller. Deal.
@ChelseaClinton
Thank you Chelsea. As an Act-Up activist, we were desperate to be heard, seen. Our friends were dying. But ours was a model of civil disobedience. We were there to engage and demand a seat. Your parents were some of the first to see us. Onward...
One more time for the people in the back! We knew. Because she knew. I sincerely hope we recover from all of this. I really do. But until the rampant racism & misogyny that led us here is addressed, we will never progress. 2x Obama voters turned their back for “reasons.” And 1/2

I hear you! I’ve had to sit in on too many committee hearings w/some of these ghouls.
A little comfort-we just beat them in Tennessee.
Where Liberty Mom sponsored candidates and extremists were destroyed at the polls. Even losing in their own districts.

SMOKING GUN: on June 14 Sanders voted IN FAVOR of combining Russia and Iran sanctions into one bill. () On June 15, he voted AGAINST the bill because (he said) it contained the Iran sanctions. Go figure...
@TomPerez
@BernieSanders
Sir, until Sanders releases his taxes and accounts for the many he misled. He should not be the face of a party. This is embarrassing.
@PhilippeReines
Actually sir....we did and so did the boss. There was a reason I worked 7 days a week 12/15 hour days on the campaign in WI-far from my home. The storm was building and you could feel it coming....(you maybe didn’t know how bad), but as a transqueer American I sure TF did.

@DianeCarolRoy1
This type of lie is traumatizing and harmful to the Trans Community.
It’s better not to engage as it perpetuates an awful trope that will and has gotten Trans People murdered.
There’s no punchline, no solace, no making fun of someone who spreads such vile malice.

They delivered death threats to NV Chair Roberta Lange and called Barbara Boxer a c_ _ _t. Spit on moms, children, our elders, and called women b*tches outside the East LA Rally. They showed us who they were:
@tify330
They can keep trying.
A few tried to interrupt Madam VP yesterday in the hall of a Union House in Waukesha, WI. They were drowned out by chants of “MVP.”
It was a swift and necessary response.
We’ve all learned from 2016.
There will be no repeat.
@tify330
Reporting from WI.
I'm in Madison. College Town. Post debate, I've yet to encounter anyone who is bailing. In fact, it's quite the opposite across demographics.
Both the President and The Vice President have visited several times throughout the State. Always well received.
@josecanyousee
It was an unnecessary question and it looked like Joy resented TF out of their answer.
Respect and prayers to the Moffets who are dealing with an unfathomable loss.
Onward Spc. Breonna. May you find peace and the drum beat as you embark on your heroes journey.
@OfficialSampson
Most trans folx don’t object to being asked what their preferred pronouns are. Most of us also politely correct folks when they do misgender us and it’s all cool. Many of us don’t have the capacity to teach you when we’re fighting for our lives and when Goggle is right there.
@mistergeezy
I really need to take a deep dive into why the LGBTQIA+ Community and specifically the Non binary, Trans Community have fallen so hard for this hateful, grossly misinformed campaign with its violent rhetoric and threats.
In 2016/2020 the community also spread disinformation.
@KaivanShroff
@peterdaou
Clinton supporters were also largely ignored via media. Where were the stories of hundreds of women showing up to polls in pantsuits and mother and dads taking their daughters/sons to celebrate the first woman to run for POTUS? I strongly recommend reading the
@SusanBordo
book.
@neeratanden
@CBSNews
Shame on
@CBSNews
! Is this incompetency, willful ignorance or intellectual dishonesty? FIX THIS OR DELETE IT! Your headline is what stokes fury from hateful people and subsequent death threats issued upon its subject. SHAME!
@neeratanden
I’m sincerely sorry you’re dealing w/ this Neera and that your mom was brought into it. (ASIDE: this is the 2016 toxic playbook on steroids-target a woman, make her the cause of failings, bully people into submission to agree, run back channel smears.) Please stay safe out there.
@YesSirJames
And / or when KHive members form a gauntlet outside the event of an opponent and spit on women calling them c**ts & b****he’s while tearing signs out of the hands of their kids. I was at this event in LA. I went home and sent my resume to Hillary for America. We knew. We fought.

had been massacred to announce he was staying in a race he’d been mathematically eliminated from. His jovial posse (see Jane run)-in tow. Their detachment disorder on full display.

@SarahLerner
Did you see Sanders on the Senate floor today push past Sen Collins to get to John McCain 1st? These white dudes have doomed us. Assholes.
@KaivanShroff
@peterdaou
We 100% have to discuss the double standards & vile misogyny that pervaded & persuade voters. Way too many folks were willing to believe the worst re: HRC, meanwhile, we weren’t allowed to criticize Sanders. To date, you still have thousands of HRC support in secret groups.
@ReginaA1981
@RealAlexRubi
Stunning. And this, “many of them were average folks from rural areas, a category of people where the left has no reach, and an area where it has no foothold.” Like WTF? Rev Warnock, Ossoff and Stacey Abrams would like to have a word. This dude clearly knows zero about outreach.
@MustBeTheMeds
@ChelseaClinton
11.K Followers and you didn't think it would be seen? I'm not sure how to respond. Per usual Chelsea rises above and shows by kind example.
@eclecticbrotha
His event was 3 miles up the road from our event. He had to change the venue because they could not get through the traffic.
They diverted to the airport. Apparently no one showed up.
Meanwhile…

Milwaukee election officials have received over 10 reports of a "Vote Uninstructed" group putting signs outside of polling sites encouraging an uninstructed vote. The group is soliciting voters and some members are refusing to leave, election official Claire Woodall said.

Clinton was the only candidate that was asked to explain why “people” felt she was “untrustworthy” or “unlikeable”. Meanwhile her two male counterparts got a pass, never revealed taxes/repeatedly suggested she was both, untrustworthy and unlikeable. There will be no healing...
At the Capitol. WI State Legislation is in session today hearing testimony about redistricting. Call it like it is. A Land & power grab. Republicans taking extreme steps to thwart the progress coming. Our tide is high & we’re not going anywhere. Joyful Warriors let’s go. Onward!
@QondiNtini
ME: “Ok Dean, sure…”
Meanwhile in Waukesha, WI yesterday, Madam VP spoke about the issue a majority of Americans are concerned about.
And President Biden is traveling to Superior, an area where zero candidates would dare, especially at this time of year. I hope he gets🍦.
A REMINDER: I wake up each day to this loveliness at my door. Pause/reflect on all that you/we have accomplished together. Rest/Reset/Reflect. We’ll all be ready for what comes next. To all who helped get us here—you’re beautiful! And thank you! Forever onward and see you soon!
@JFakhredin
It was an indelible moment for me. I’d been working on deadline for a comedy commercial featuring kids. Pulse happened as I was writing-I stayed up trying to finish my assignment-distraught. Bernie’s appearance was a gut punch and their detachment to events unfolding disturbing.
Dear America, it is time for better angels to rise & speak against the evil happening under Stars & Stripes & amongst Amber Waves of Grain-from the very depths of our souls deliver a thunderous & ferocious roar

@peterdaou
Misogyny like racism is a pandemic in this country. Both had devastating consequences in 2016. Case in point, Sanders could not use emails to attack HRC, so after NY Primary, he pivoted to “paid speeches,” with the same intent to say something nefarious was there. Call it out.
@mistergeezy
Based on my experience as a TransQueer American living in the Midwest/in the workforce, it’s rare that professionals these days purposefully/purposely misgender clientele/customers.
The ones trying to get this young man fired need to stop.
I wish I’d been there. Cause I’d…
@kanafan4
@ShontelMBrown
Hi Stacy, I’m TransQueer and work with many legislators. Misgendering happens frequently in our circles. Those who are sincere apologize and then thank us for correcting them. Shontel has done this. Define how you’re applying transphobia here. Because a true ally would listen 1/2
@docrocktex26
@MSNBC
coverage of the DEM convention is a case study. They keyed in on disgruntled Sanders voters, who said the most factually challenged things, without correction or being held to account. Interviews with Clinton supporters? Null. MSNBC was giddy about the dissension.
@KaivanShroff
@peterdaou
@SusanBordo
Pardon the typ-os. I’m sort of exhausted, which I hear is a direct result of fighting the Patriarchy. And look, I know you’re both allies re: women. As am I. But guys, we’ve got to do better. We have to call certain things out. Women were shamed/silenced this can’t happen again.
@StellaParton

Stella, you’re praising a generalization about immigrants. And the comment that follows…no, just no. I hope you’re able to pause for a second to hear voices that are trying to explain the intolerance expressed throughout this thread.

We need the acquiescence of a man who did the bare minimum in 2016, while debasing and deriding the party all through the summer and who is now MIA and ain’t lifting a finger to help? Howard STFU. White men are the other pandemic.
@notcapnamerica
I’m curious? What money source do they think pays for
@SenSanders
@Ocasio2018
travel, lodging, food? What makes the dark money PACs of Our Revolution/Justice Democrats so pure? While the transparent Emily’s List is bad? It’s time to shine light on this hypocrisy.
#ShowUsYourTaxes
@nkem
And just like that…the “do something” & so called “progressive” crowd are searching for ways to blame Hillary Rodham Clinton for not going far enough. So much of what’s happening now was based on policies she put forward. I appreciate the Admin & Democrats for getting it done.
@JFakhredin
and a threat to the very fabric of our democracy. He stood in the way of progress. And of the SCOTUS nominees. He endangered lives in the process. I was told by his supporters, some who were friends, that my response to that morning was overblown. I knew we were in trouble.
