As a white, elderly, male I’ve had ample time to observe one of the wonders of the world that truly is a disgrace to our species, @SpeakerPelosi. Specifically, patriarchal cowards like @realDonaldTrump. So, #NervousNancy, count on me to help you jail him & his ilk. #TrumpRussia.

News: The Trump admin is rejecting requests from U.S. embassies to fly the rainbow pride flag on embassy flagpoles during June, LGBT Pride Month, three American diplomats tell NBC News. https://t.co/5MAJxoqTow
* Remember when Trump was a candidate vowing to fight for the LGBTQ community? That was then; this is now: “The Trump administration is rejecting requests from U.S. embassies to fly the rainbow pride flag on embassy flagpoles during June, LGBTQ Pride Month, three American diplomats told NBC News.”
Fact is – his signature on anything taints it with multi-dimensiional evil deserving of International Scorn & efforts to #EnforceTheLaw whenever possible.
Start by charging him for #CrimesAgainstHumanity in the matter of separating chldren from their parents & caging them.

Hey TOD Family! Forgive me if you’ve seen this, but I just saw that President O is featured among the luminaries interviewed in a new Netflix documentary about Clarence Avant “The Black Godfather.” Here’s the trailer. 👇🏾
So this week Trump continued his feud with a dead man, picked a new one with Bette Midler, attacked a royal family member, said Ireland should build a wall on its border with N. Ireland, that he didn't serve in Vietnam b/c it was far away, & the moon was part of Mars. Cool cool.
Well, from an old white dude, my commitment from now until I die is to do everything possible to eliminate the global patriarchy that for millennia has been a persistent source of terror, suffering & death.
Our species will be extinct soon if women don't prevail.

Nothing could be more damning for the Mexican side than President Trump claiming to be excited at their expense. It not only doesn’t pay to reach an agreement with him because he may back down (USMCA), he also makes sure to inflict political costs afterwards. pic.twitter.com/lL8O50ELRh

“Of the pages of officers whom the Plain View researchers could positively identify, about 1 in 5 of the current officers, and 2 in 5 of the retired officers, made public posts or comments that met that threshold — typically by displaying bias, applauding violence, scoffing at due process, or using dehumanizing language. The officers mocked Mexicans, women, and black people, celebrated the Confederate flag, and showed a man wearing a kaffiyeh scarf in the crosshairs of a gun.”

Here's Professor @tribelaw's oped on how the House could both indict and convict Trump in an impeachment inquiry all on their own. #AMJoyhttps://t.co/v4ZkF65iOz
= Leave the Senate Out of it.
Lawrence Tribe said Speaker Pelosi: “is assuming that launching an impeachment inquiry puts you on a collision course with the stone wall represented by McConnell and the GOP in the Senate. It doesn’t.
If the Senate continues to shirk its duty and say, ‘case closed,’ the House can say,
‘It’s not closed at all. We are reaching our own conclusion after a full and fair hearing. We find that Donald J. Trump has committed the following serious criminal offenses, the following high crimes and misdemeanors.
It is possible they’d acquit him. They shouldn’t decide before they have the inquiry, but the likelihood is he would be convicted.
And there would be a negative verdict and he would carry it around his neck. His forehead would be stamped with a scarlet I.
He would bear the mark of Cain when he goes into the election. I think it is a silly prospect to say that he would be strengthened. He would claim vindication. He could always claim vindication, that is his style, but the American people are not as stupid as he seems to think. They are not.
They need to be educated by an impeachment inquiry that could be begun and ended in the House of Representatives. ”

Been waiting all day for Trump's statement condemning a Russian destroyer nearly colliding with a US warship. And I suppose that's the point. Russia wanted to gauge his reaction, or non-reaction and they got it.#PutinPuppet
If MOC haven’t done the work, then they need to be fired. Voted out. I’m not paying them NOT to do the job of the people.
Citizens elect other citizens to serve our nation. We expect them to do the work we pay them to do, and that includes reading and granting due consideration to reports by experts. Fire the ones who do not do so.

Right. To be followed with the most beautiful healthcare plan that will preserve pre-existing conditions and be the BEST MOST AMAZING the world has ever seen.
I do not agree with Perez on this. Way way way too important not to focus on this issue.
OOOOooggg, wrong answer. Use this opportunity to educate the public about the growing irrefutable existential danger of #climatechange – to our environment, to our national security, to the survival of our world – and our approach to mitigating it wherever and whenever we can.

Thank you, President Obama. Wear orange, raise awareness. This killing by gun violence is not normal. Do not accept it as such. Be the change.
