Once again, Jack Smith asks America to read.
God help us if the 72 million who voted for Trump too lazy or too stupid to read, think, and understand that Donald Trump has been indicted based on evidence.

Excellent #MustRead . I know both @BarackObama and @HillaryClinton support future leaders, but it's worth consideration of what kind of investment we are making in college leaders compared to conservatives.

He plans to make himself a dictator. He's telling us that he plans to make himself a dictator. No matter what you tell yourself about "sending a message" or "voting your conscience," every ballot for Cornel West, Joe Manchin, RFK Jr, or anyone not named Joe Biden is a vote for a dictatorship.

Guns are the leading cause of death for children, but that fact doesn’t stop Marsha Blackburn from being a racist xenophobic talibangelical fearmongering gaslighting white nationalist bigot.

We know their crazy agenda. Millions will vote Dem, down the line to stop them.
We need to focus on helping many more to vote. Our votes are our power. 💙
2024 will be a long year of gop lies and meltdowns.
Stay calm. Stay strong! We've got this.

Anyone who think running a third party candidate/independent will help the most disadvantaged is completely deluded. Such a position will only make it possible for a criminal and insurrectionist leader to re-enter the Whitehouse.

Well said.
When Republicans ban books & take away reproductive health care we might need to refer to them as religious zealots or fanatics.

I don't have a problem with nor will I ever ridicule anyone who wishes to practice their religion. But when zealots attempt to codify it into secular law, censoring art, music, speech, or overturning civil rights using their cherrypicked dogma as pretext, that's when I push back.

Exactly. One’s religion dictates what they can and cannot do, not what YOU can and cannot do.

Only in America is it common to come home from doing something normal, just to see a headline that a bunch of people somewhere else in the country were shot doing the same or similar very normal thing. Like it's just some sick roll of the dice at this point who is at the wrong very normal place.
