  1. These fascists won't be happy until all those #immunocompromised are self-jailed in their homes (& allergic, asthmatic). The only #legal reason to mask is for a #contagious #disease(!) And if you're at a #grocery or at work, they can make you take it off! The party of less gov't sure likes the #government to #legislate what you can do in public (& private!)...

  2. my fav part (tho #CitizenTrump was a mic drop)

    “…fmr President #Trump's stance would collapse our system of separated powers by placing the President beyond the reach of all 3 Branches. #PresidentialImmunity against federal #indictment would mean that, as to the President, the #Congress could not #legislate, the #Executive could not #prosecute & the #Judiciary could not review. We cannot accept that the office of the Presidency places its fmr occupants above the #law for all time thereafter.

  3. In the latest effort to #eradicate the #LGBTQ community, #Florida #Republicans are trying to redefine support for the fair and non-discriminatory treatment of LGBTQ people as a "#political viewpoint" so that they can #legislate the #prohibition of LGBTQ and #pride #flags on #government #property. Make no mistake, their goal is to eliminate the LGBTQ community as much as possible, and force whoever is left out of the public sphere.

  4. "There are those who believe that if you will only #legislate to make the well-to-do prosperous, their prosperity will leak through on those below. The #Democratic idea, however, had been that if you legislate to make the masses prosperous, their prosperity will find its way up through every class which rests upon them." – #WilliamJenningsBryan

    Will we ever fundamentally change?

  5. #Christofascist #MikeJohnson doesn't seem to grasp the fact that there's a difference between being a #Christian, and injecting your Christian #beliefs into #government as an #elected official. He's completely free to identify as a Christian, have Christian beliefs, and live his live according to his Christian #ideals. What he's not free to do is #legislate from the #pulpit, and impose his #religious beliefs on the nation through his status as an elected official.

    The Case for Abolishing #Elections - #Boston Review

    "More disturbing, he noted how his fellow #politicians—all of whom owned their #homes—tended to #legislate in favor of #landlords and against #tenants."

  7. @angiebaby Imagine living in a country where such a wealth gap would be illegal. Musk. is a product of capitalism run amuck. So is Trump. We need to put a stop to such egregious greed. #Capitalism #Musk #Legislate #TwitterMigration #WealthGap

  8. @mattcropp People should be paid to #legislate. This is very uneven from state to state. Until all state legislators receive living wages and voting is universally accessible, we will be governed by the rich.
