A short list including people President Biden should fully pardon among others:
- Himself
- Kamala Harris
- Barack & Michelle Obama
- Hillary Clinton
- Adam Schiff
- Liz Cheney
- Adam Kinzinger
- Jamie Raskin
- John Kelly
They haven’t done anything wrong, of course, but protect them in advance.

So, you support universal health care that includes mental health treatment?

When they say, “new primary”, they mean “bypass Harris”.
“When they say, “open process”, they mean “bypass Harris”
Don’t let them gaslight you on this as they do the bidding of superwealthy donors and try to force Biden and install whatever pre-approved white (likely male) candidate the donors agreed to.

Pay attention. The “palace coup” to push out Biden and have an outside-the-rules “new primary” to bypass Harris isn’t coming from the left. Sanders, AOC, and the Congressional Black Caucus are sticking with Biden.
It’s coming from the suoerwealthy donor class who are taking advantage of Biden’s poor debate coverage to pressue “centrists” into replacing the ticket with one that won’t let the Trump tax cuts for the superwealthy expire.
These people will also be fine during a Trump dictatorship.

I used to be one of those people who "never got polled".
Now I get polled all the time -- and not phone polls, for I do not answer numbers I do not recognize because of all the sales, solicitations, and spam calls.
I receive emails asking me to participate in polling, usually for state and local issues -- and not the kind that ask for a donation at the end.
So, I guess I am on a "list" of people willing to answer polls if asked by email.

There were two coup attempts:
(1) a Presidential coup that has not (yet) succeeded, but had a flashpoint with the insurrection of January 6, 2021.
(2) a Judicial coup in which Mitch McConnell denied President Obama a Supreme Court appointment. then rushed Justice Barrett onto the bench. That coup succeeded.
Don't give up. We need to show the same courage the abolitionists, suffragettes, and civil rights activists had then, to save our democracy now.

There are no "moderates" left in the Republican Party, and there are no people of courage left, only cowards. They wouldn't even stand up for the winner of the House Republican Conference leadership vote (Scalise). They repeatedly allow Trump and MAGA extremists to bully them into submission.
But honestly, an insurrectionist, election-denying, coup-plotter like Gym Jordan as their leader is the perfect embodiment of what the Republican Party is today.

This corrupt Supreme Court is the work of decades of committed action by social reactionaries who showed up at every election to vote for candidates no matter how imperfect with an eye on a bigger prize — ruling through judicial fiat to roll back decades of social justice and civil rights by controlling the Courts.
The only way to overcome this is for the socially inclusive majority of voters to become as equally committed and disciplined in their voting in every election.

A corrupt Supreme Court majority, given lifetime appointments by Presidents who lost the popular vote, operate in secret without a code of ethics, and are turning back the clock on decades of social justice in America. This case wasn’t even real.

A majority of our corrupt Supreme Court were given lifetime appointments by Presidents who lost the popular vote, were confirmed by an intentionally unrepresentative Senate, and operate without a code of ethics. #TyrannyOfTheMinority #SupremeCourt #politics #USpol #USpolitics

@npub1jup…77gr That they further planned on Mike Pence being "unavailable" and Chuck Grassley doing this in Pence's absence, means I hope that Jack Whtie subpoenas Senate and House members if he has not done so already. #fascism #attemptedcoup #sedition

Pride month will be over in a few days and many of the corporations that put rainbows on their products & services as a marketing strategy will keep funding anti-LGBTQ politicians. I hope we know the difference between #RainbowCapitalism as a marketing strategy and genuine allyship. #LGBTQ #Pride

@npub1edc…0q44 I hope the DoJ goes after the members of Congress who were in on the attempted coup.

It would be nice if the corporate news media didn’t treat Trump as a normal politician who has simply run into a little legal trouble, but as a traitor who compromised America’s national security for personal gain instead. They should be confronting Republicans who still support him on this too. #TraitorTrump

Perhaps my memory is faulty, but I seem to remember that there was a time when espionage, sedition, treason, and attempting a coup would have been considered dealbreakers for the Republican Party. The former "Party of LIncoln" now seems to be a Confederacy of Dunces.

If Republicans want to do something more constructive than trying to gut Social Security, Medicare, and the ACA, they could try combatting #Greedflation. We should normalize the term "greedflation" and use it to explain what is happening. Greed is the mortal sin rotting America's institutions.

President Biden has exceeded my expectations again. I don’t like the deal, but if we want a better one in two years, then throw out Republicans and retake the House in 2024. #USpol #politics

2023-05-26 22:32:34

Republicans don’t want to pay for their gigantic unnecessary tax cut for billionaires and corporations, and think if they crash the economy that President Biden will get the blame and Trump will sweep back to a trifecta. #USpol #politics #debtceiling

Just as with the ACA, Republicans keep moving the goalposts. They don't want a deal, because they want a default and a tanked economy to help them in 2024. Enough of this extortion. It's time to have a Constitutional fight over the debt ceiling. #poltics #USpol

As Florida now allows physicians to refuse to treat gay or trans patients, that means a fundamentalist doctor that thinks I shouldn't exist can refuse to treat me in the emergency room where time can make the difference between life and death. I won't be traveling to #Florida any time soon. #LGBTQ

Harlan Crow gave $100,000 to "No Labels' What further proof do we need that No Labels is a scam to divide the Presidential vote to enable Trump back into the White House with 40% of the vote in a divided contest because he cannot get 50%. #politics #uspol

I used to think the "winners" in life were the people who had the most awards, the most money, the biggest fame, and the most political power.
Now I realize the real winners are the people who are kind, who bring joy, who serve and take care of others, and who make the world a better place.
