Congratulations on first.
Yes, prayers for those in PR. 🙏

State Department officials involved in U.S. embassy security were not made aware of imminent threats to four specific U.S. embassies, two State Department officials said, further undermining Trump's claims that Soleimani posed an imminent threat. https://t.co/sG9ZXyxOa3
WOW, she was perfect. Truly and deeply sorry she will not be our next president.
@SenKamalaHarris speech on the Senate floor right now about the upcoming impeachment trial is EN FUEGO. THANK YOU for putting everything into context, for clearly explaining what is at stake and for calling upon Americans to stand up for America.
Sen. Kamala Harris on impeding impeachment trial: "Each senator here must exhibit the kind of moral and ethical leadership that this president abandoned when he pressured a foreign nation to interfere in our election." https://t.co/aE2u6rLZHDpic.twitter.com/noaTA4Re66

Trump is preparing to divert an additional $7.2 billion in Pentagon funding for border wall construction this year, five times what Congress authorized him to spend on the project in the 2020 budget, according to internal planning figures obtained by WaPo. https://t.co/bcQt4XjUqR
All these Iowa polls showing different leaders, one day it’s Warren, then the next it’s Mayor Pete, then Sanders then Biden. STOP listening to the polls.
Trump and Melenia at the College football game, I didn’t know Melania love sports that much, where is the Trump sons? I didn’t know Trump love sports. Ha! Ha. Ha. Just showing up for the attention.
A video of me meeting Meghan Markle just went viral. Allow me to explain. She is genuinely the most inspiring human I’ve met. Through her social media & blog she taught me to be a more confident and passionate version of myself. The hate against her is garbage pic.twitter.com/euHjKkxp7D
Alas I was not living in the real world momentarily, at least. I was hoping that we could turn the corner again by electing a black woman to the presidency. But that is not the case. Although for different reasons, both black and whites put their eggs in the white man’s basket.
So although I supported Kamala Harris for President. I will now support Joe Biden. I’m making my first contribution today..
Truth. Pay attention and do NOT a
spread disinformation . We can NOT afford this POS another minute
We are & will be flooded with #disinformation to alter our perceptions.
WE need to protect ourselves & others:
1)hyper-awareness for disinfo —if unsure, research 2) Due diligence re: articles 3) put on your psyops glasses 🤓 4)keep your feelz in check#thinkB4click#CogSecpic.twitter.com/RuulvWshRV
Warning: Russia’s military hackers — the same ones who attacked our 2016 election to help Trump win — are at it again and have already planted their worms inside our election infrastructure and much of the “internet of things” we depend on for everything https://t.co/YBAjGTxZNU
Among the documents Lev Parnas has handed over to the House Intelligence Committee: text messages with Rudy Giuliani, former Texas Rep. Pete Sessions, former Hill columnist John Solomon and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, sources familiar with the matter say. https://t.co/rnLy8XeGIu
FACTCHECK => Trump claimed he "saved" protections for people with preexisting medical conditions. History tells a different story. @pw_cunningham w/@paulina_milla in The Health 202: https://t.co/DNOdvSzmNp
Britain, France and Germany say they are triggering a dispute mechanism that is part of the nuclear deal with Iran over its failure to live up to terms of the pact. https://t.co/9IGcHuvQRL
The people who are distorting and photoshopping images and making outrageous accusations against Democrats aren't doing it so you'l dispute it. They're doing it so you'll help distribute the images and the accusations.
The Democratic candidates and New York–D.C. media exist in a largely closed bubble, reflecting their own obsessions and not reaching much of the country—while Trump is seen everywhere https://t.co/s0krz3HdYS
Do you think a centrist, corporate-indebted, lightweight republican candidate increases the probability
that our young voters will turn out? Because what we are hearing is No. President Obama wasn’t the ‘safe’ candidate, but what he did was inspire and generate tons of excitement.
Isn’t it time the corporations quit killing people. The super-wealthy are killing us.
Reich has been explaining that to get out of our predicament, we need to pursue an agenda not dictated by corporates. How will we get the turnout needed if we elect a corporate apologist “trolling for millionaires”?
To some extent we can blame the corporations and the super-wealthy, but on the other hand we can also blame those voters that have no goddamn reason to be out here voting for the corporations and super-wealthy over their own best interest. I’m a hard working citizen that has never voted againts my own best interest, but I work with a bunch of people that will vote againts their own best interest at the drop of a hat and won’t look back. So how do we go about changing the mind-set of those people, how do we go about changing years and years of conditioning?
Hi Don well for starters:
we vote in people who recognize the global corporate oligarchy, and the rise of Neo-fascism,
who e.g. are unafraid and prepared to BOOT OUT FOSSIL FUELS and save the planet,
who don’t take cash from big pharma (or the others who are killing us),
are not beholden to them and thus free to work for US.
Joe Biden open to CA Sen. Kamala Harris as 2020 running mate ~ says he’d consider Kamala Harris for “ anything she wants, including VP” | The Sacramento Bee https://t.co/RRbIBpYOGe
I know I’ve been very critical of Joe in the past, it was just my way of kicking the tires. I remember Joe giving an interview once about Barack. Joe said he went to Michelle to get a deeper insight into Barack, which I didn’t really understand at the time. But in retrospect it made perfect sense, I think Joe ran his offer to Kamala by Barack. I like the idea of saying he would give Kamala any job that she wanted, I hope she takes it. And I think it would be a great move on Kamala’s part.
Honestly, I don’t know what to think. I know Joe’s being sincere but I don’t know if he’d actually offer her the VP and I don’t know what Kamala wants. I think she loves the Senate but it’s obvious she has much higher ambitions. I think they’d make a really great team if POC can get behind her whole heartedly without any of that Kamala Is A Cop BS manufactured by the Bernie Bros and the Kremlin.
I’m more concerned about the “53%” than I am about the Kamala is a cop crowd or the Bernie Bros. The POC will come out in full force if Joe puts Kamala on the ticket, this does not mean that the POC won’t come out if kamala insn’t on the ticket.
I believe that black folks need Hope…we know that we have to struggle and that things do not come easy or fast…but we need hope to believe that our efforts will bear fruit and that our children will have a better way then we did…”The Struggle Continues”
I think about this everytime I pick my son up from school. What will his world be like, how will he deal with the world as a black man and how will it deal with him. Black parents have to for the most part raise thier children with a defensive mind-set, as in how to act if you are pulled over by the police. Or how to act if you are confronted in a department store or some similar situation. Please don’t get me started, but you are correct, the struggle is ever present.
This is why we fight …although there are blk folk who give into the meme that their vote does not count…i KNOW that we do not have the luxury of sitting out an election or of indulging in a protest vote…because it Is our children who will be harmed …
Hard to say and a hard truth:
VP Biden’s voting group is 49+ years.
The young people say they will Not vote if Biden is elected.
Have heard my own young offspring say this emphatically and I wasn’t ready for it.
—Not sure what VP Biden can do about the above but this is the situation.
The thing about the Bernie Bros is that history does not concern them if that history does not include Bernie as being the savior. Bernie has built in their mind a utopia that can only be achieved if he is elected President. And so in their mind it is perfectly reasonable to burn down the Democratic Party if he isn’t the nominee.
If your son said he wouldn’t vote if Joe Biden were the nominee then ask him how he feels about little brown babies in cages or women being forced into deadly back alley abortions or YOU not being able to afford healthcare because you have a pre-existing condition. My young nephew is a registered voter and will vote a straight BLUE ticket because his mother has explained to him #TraitorTrump represents an existential threat to the very existence of black and brown people. We MUST WIN all three branches of govt. to protect the lives of black and brown people which are under EXTREME threat. How anyone PERSONALLY feels about the eventual nominee is irrelevant when we consider what #TraitorTrump would unleash if re-elected. It would be Armageddon against black and brown people HERE and all over the world.
Joe and Bernie aren’t the only Democrat running!
Corey, Julian, and Kamala are still available for VP.
Good to hear about your nephew.
Yes young people get it that Trump is an extremely dangerous racist and must go.
And if you’re referring to my children specifically? Yes they will vote for whoever is nominated. My daughter was the main organizer for Obama when she was at University and somehow did 50 things at once.
—But sorry i cannot account for other young people.
My Dream Team has been Joe Biden with Kamala either VP or AG from the start. My thinking is that Joe has the experience and the world recognition to possibly turn around the world disrespect we are currently seeing. Kamala could run after Joe’s turn is over. Whether that is after one or two terms should depend on Joe’s mental or physical health.
Democrats aren’t just going to lie down. @benwikler and his team at @WisDems have a voter protection team in place earlier than ever before and they’re going to organize and re-register voters. And we’ll have their backs. https://t.co/IYhRGZJ1JU
– Hasn’t tweeted anything yet – Maybe he ran out of words to misspell – Rick Scott is a career criminal – Lev Parnas gives new evidence to House – McConnell is losing control of Senate impeachment trial – Trump is going to prison – It’s still only 11am
Tonight, America will not see herself in full on the debate stage, but we must ensure issues facing people of color stay in the forefront as we address our future. Democrats cannot win in November without voters of color, and more importantly, neither can America. Full statement: pic.twitter.com/njFu1h6s6Q
Disinformation is ramping up big time as we know.
Candidates who are Not leaning on corporation are a threat to the plutocrats = Trump’s real constituency.
And they WILL be attacked.
—Please let’s think before believing what we hear regarding ALL of the candidates?
—Can we refuse to buy when did you last kick your cat…this time?
“If Trump arrives along this road [to Damascus], everything will become normal with him too,” Assad said. Putin then said Trump would jump at the offer and if not, he’ll convince him. Putin then smiles and says, “I will tell him.”https://t.co/AafKK3h6ZT

Am picking up some paranoia and misinterpretation on here today and so will come out.
1) Humans are equal absolutely without exception which is a beautiful precondition of birth.
2) Am for Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker.
Here’s what I don’t understand: If Joe Biden wasn’t a champion for black America, why did Barack Obama, our nation’s first African American president, choose Joe to be his vice president?
– House releases texts from Lev Parnas proving Trump's people tried to hire goons to target US Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch – Trump trying to distract us with Tim Apple – Nice try, dumbass – We told you Trump is going to prison – It's still only 7:45pm
Bernie2020: Hi Alycee! It’s Mohamed with Bernie 2020. Bernie has spent his entire life standing up to the greed and corruption of the corporate elite and fighting for ordinary working people. Are you in for Bernie?
Me: NO!
Bernie2020: Ok, I understand. Do you mind telling me who you plan on supporting?
Me: That is none of your business. Meanwhile, as I have never visited Bernie’s website, nor expressed interest in his campaign, remove my name and contact information from your list. Have a good day.
My view on Bernie Sanders is ya he has not changed his views. He has been in the Senate and House most of his adult life. He believes what he believes and doesn’t waiver. However he does not compromise or build coalitions either. He is more of a loner than a team player. It is his way or the highway. He had not even sponsored bills of importance until he started running for Prez. The only person I want for Prez less than Bernie on our side is Tulsi Gabbard. Oh, our side, ya Bernie meets with the Dems, but he is only using the party. He said an independent could not get enough support to win. Last time he ran and lost he immediately switched back to the Independent party. As I have said I will support our nominee regardless as I tend to be an any Dem over Trump voter.

Not sure how to take it any other way, @Mimirocah1.
Especially since these texts took place in the days before Yovanovitch's abrupt departure and before it was public knowledge –– which makes unlikely Hyde was making it all up as some are now claiming.https://t.co/dSOwK8sEnO

Good afternoon everyone. Prayer for those in PR.. they need our help and support… you know, AS AMERICANS
Congratulations on first.
Yes, prayers for those in PR. 🙏

Greetings, TOD!
Thank you, Nerdy!
So glad the Obamas’ film American Factory along with the short animated film Hair Love were nominated for oscars.
REALLY FLORIDA!!??? This SOB should be sitting a jail cell right now for Medicare fraud!
He lied, MSM. Just like always
Trump has admitted that there was no imminent threat.
WOW, she was perfect. Truly and deeply sorry she will not be our next president.
A snippet:
There is a higher calling for her. Count on it. She is phenomenal

Get this fucking SOB outta there!
And the Pentagon is perfectly fine with that. That’s what should be of great concern. Everyone keeps going along with his foolishness.
Liz, Liz, Liz! Why the surprise? You woke up in morning & dude split already? Hello? 👀
All these Iowa polls showing different leaders, one day it’s Warren, then the next it’s Mayor Pete, then Sanders then Biden. STOP listening to the polls.

Trump and Melenia at the College football game, I didn’t know Melania love sports that much, where is the Trump sons? I didn’t know Trump love sports. Ha! Ha. Ha. Just showing up for the attention.
So Reggie Love is supporting Mayor Pete, well his choice. I am still supporting Joe Biden
I’m supporting Joe Biden too. he passed my 3Ctest – Character, competence, and capacity
I’m supporting Joe Biden, too. Wish Reggie Love were, truth be told!
Say what???? Oh, well…
Since Kamala is out, I’m back to “Ridin’ with Biden…”
This is very sweet.
Traitors of the Constitution

that is ..SOME young people…those who may not be in the Bernie camp…drinking the Bernie kool aid…..may be open to a Biden/Harris ticket
Bernie voters are more than willing to burn the place down, just like the last time.
The thing about the Bernie Bros is that history does not concern them if that history does not include Bernie as being the savior. Bernie has built in their mind a utopia that can only be achieved if he is elected President. And so in their mind it is perfectly reasonable to burn down the Democratic Party if he isn’t the nominee.
No. My kids and their friends are not for Joe. They’re not for Bernie either.
well..all i can do is register enough folks to offset their votes…the struggle continues
If your son said he wouldn’t vote if Joe Biden were the nominee then ask him how he feels about little brown babies in cages or women being forced into deadly back alley abortions or YOU not being able to afford healthcare because you have a pre-existing condition.

I block those people.
I did…
First time receiving an unsolicited text from any campaign…
It’s really strange, isn’t it? I found it so invasive because as you say I’d never been to any social media involved with the campaign.
I blocked anything from a Sanders long time ago. I don’t like to be used by someone who doesn’t respect my party enough to join it.
My view on Bernie Sanders is ya he has not changed his views. He has been in the Senate and House most of his adult life. He believes what he believes and doesn’t waiver. However he does not compromise or build coalitions either. He is more of a loner than a team player. It is his way or the highway.
