#ProudBlue #DemsUnited Today Biden is still our president. VP Kamala Harris has his endorsement to run for president. Now is the time to focus on stopping TFG’s #Project2025 plans to turn America into a fascist state w/ a king & no checks & balances. That’s just the beginning!

#ProudBlue #DemsUnited TFG’s been “normalized” by the media. He lies, insults & attacks. We ignore him. I’ve heard V speak. From what I have heard, he spews Trump’s lies, insults & attacks but using a better vocabulary. He’s Trump in eyeliner & a party dress. #VoteHarris2024 🌊💙

@PrezLives2022 Excellent decision - now to sequester them so no one can follow them from home to court. After the trial, put them into witness protection because they will need it. Let’s hope if anyone releases personal Info on a juror they will get the book thrown at them - whomever they are!

#ProudBlue #VoteBlueForYourKids That is really excellent news! Remember back when the surgeon general put a warning on cigarette cartons & boxes? People & tobacco companies were upset & look what happened! Maybe the same will happen w/ guns! 🙏🙏🌊🌊💙💙 #VoteBlueForOurFuture

BREAKING: The U.S. Surgeon General makes history by declaring firearm violence an ongoing public health crisis — infuriating Republican gun fetishists who prefer to ignore mass shootings. This is a massive deal... "As a doctor, I’ve seen the consequences of firearm violence up

How will judges decide what Federal agency regs are OK when their speciality is questions of law, not science? The FDA, EPA, OSHA, & others rely on info from scientists who specialize in their fields. SCOTUS might remember how well it worked in the Pandemic. #ProudBlue #VoteBlue

A perfect post to share on the Fourth of July. @HaackJoe330 reminds us, “The first words of our constitution beginning with capital letters bespeak democracy:  ‘We the People’.” Democracy in Greek means “Power of the People.” We’ve got the power, now use it! #VoteBlue #ProudBlue

WE THE PEOPLE = DEMOCRACY  If one spends any time in social media these days, particularly in X (Twitter), one sees many right wing comments calling attention to the fact that the word “democracy” does not appear in our constitution. Other comments maintain that we live in a

@fiona_webster22 I think it follows from their starting point - man good, women bad! They’re wrong of course, but will not see that at this point in history. Germans thought they were right in WWII and slave owners in the south. Eventually most realized they were wrong - but not all.

#ProudBlue #VoteBlueForDecency Just finished this 🧵 I know I should be sleeping, BUT YOU NEED TO READ IT, all of it! There is hard evidence the “pro-life” efforts by the GOP are actually killing people - the mothers &. babies they claim to be saving. I’ll let Shane explain it.

@patriciajaydee Do not despair - my hubs had a brainstem stroke in Jan. 2016. There was a lot of rehab work but for many years he was very good - fully present and engaged. That’s when we built his N gauge Kato railroad. I mostly held wood and handed tools! The railroad works & he is still here!

@Nomie1971 @thejackhopkins My MIL showed me a photo album & pointed to a couple & said, “That’s the other mixed marriage in the family.” Her Irish Catholic sister had married an Italian Catholic. She thought I was Methodist - I left all religion at age 12 - her son a few years later. 2 kids, no baptisms.

#ProudBlue #VoteBlueForYourKids Another reason to #VoteBlue . Think I’m kidding? Red states want to make wearing masks illegal. Now TFG wants to impoverish school districts that require vaccines for enrollees, if he’s elected. It’s all part of Project 2025.   🌊🌊💙💙🗽🗽

@beachblond52 The problem with the Bible is, there is always something that offends someone. After all, it is a story written by men based on info heard while sitting around w/ other men over a cup of coffee or wine. Like a game of telephone. 🌊💙 #RidingWithBiden #ProudBlue #BidenHarris2024

#DemsUnited #ProudBlue #Fresh The Felon distances himself from Project 2025. Why? Because it details plans that are unacceptable with We The People. MAGA runs it -under the voters radar - stripping Democracy, and us of our core rights and principles.
