President Biden has been on the job exactly 1 month. We've seen a 29% decline in #covid19 cases because more people are wearing masks, practicing social distancing, more vaccines being distributed and in people's arms. The best part. No midnight rage tweets.@POTUS
500,000 American people have died from the coronavirus…and that only tells part of the story…it does not tell of the impact on families…communities ..work places…health professionals….. What a Travesty for America….it is simply heartbreaking…😢😢
Happy birthday, John Lewis! We will never forget the mark you made on our communities and will forever continue to get into some "Good Trouble" in the name of human rights and justice! ✊🏾 pic.twitter.com/01eqNST1Zk
Last year we lost a legend. Today, on what would have been his 81st birthday, we celebrate John Lewis—a hero to so many whose contributions to this nation will continue to benefit generations unborn. #goodtroublepic.twitter.com/6g5lXdkACL
The Honorable John Lewis would have turned 81 today.

“Covid Mutations Put Vaccines In Race To Reduce Amount Of Virus Worldwide”
“Richard Engel, NBC News chief foreign correspondent speaking to Ali Velshi,
reports on how the rampant spread of the coronavirus allows for a greater number of mutations, and what that means for the effort to use vaccines to bring an end to the pandemic.”
Evolutionary biology….
We know we have to get ahead of the coronavirus variants. The longer we wait to get everybody vaccinated the more time it has to evolve and diversify = more variants = more changes to the vaccine needed. Scientific outcomes are for everybody regardless of party, including trumpy anti-sciencers.
Alright Colorado! Let’s get that woman out of our House!
I am Democrat Gregg Smith. I have been running against Lauren Boebert for 19 days. We now have 239,000 followers. Lauren has 542,000. Please retweet this and ask everyone you know to follow my twitter account to join us and pass her to ensure we can get our message out.
As a rancher, legislator & former educator, I know how to get things done. Together we can defeat Lauren Boebert and give our part of CO the honest, competent & effective representation we deserve. But only if we all step up and work for it. Let’s do this. https://t.co/ifSr6qrcJF
Ginaforte got rid of state mask mandate by executive action.
So now – MT GOP legislators are working on a bill which says local municipalities cannot have their own mask mandates.
“Proposal to nullify local mask mandates advances”
“House Bill 257
is one of a handful of Republican-backed bills seeking to limit the power of local governments,
the governor and health officials to enact or enforce public health measures that impact businesses.
Lawmakers advanced a bill Wednesday that would essentially nullify local health measures like mask mandates and prohibit local governments and health officials from
adopting similar requirements in the future.”
(https://montanafreepress.org/2021/02/17/proposal-to-nullify-local-mask-mandates-advances/)
In the nick of time, folks are finally wearing masks in Montana, just as variants are on the rise!!!
So GOP legislators (now in control)
want to remove state and local mask mandates.
Now it will go back to hit and miss. Do they hate their trumpy constituents as well as everybody else?
Can’t they wait at least until Montanans have been vaccinated?
Yep. I’m double-masked whenever I leave the house and I add a face shield in places like grocery and warehouse stores, when what I need is not available for pickup or delivery. pic.twitter.com/TrSdOBW6th
There’s still a global pandemic going on. We should all be wearing masks when we go outside our homes. Two, actually. So, um, yes. pic.twitter.com/9fY7nI9gpe

Today would have been Congressman John Lewis’ 81st birthday. While my dear friend may no longer be with us, his life and legacy provide an eternal moral compass on which direction to march. May we carry on his mission in the fight for justice and equality for all.
In Georgia, and across the country, efforts are underway to make it more difficult for people to exercise their right to vote. Let us remember the lessons and words of our hero and our friend, Congressman John Lewis. pic.twitter.com/uj3ZWqtVI8
Let’s be clear…this is about making it HARD for Blk folks to vote….We are always the target…they use blk folks as a template for discrimination…using the racism of white folks to maintain their power…I AM SO Tired of Being Sick and Tired !!!
Interesting but not surprising. At least not to me.
One of the leaders in the Oath Keepers conspiracy in the US Capitol attack is claiming she met with Secret Service agents on Jan. 6 — tying the White House closer to the insurrection than previously known.
Attorneys for Oath Keeper Jessica Watkins said in a filing that she didn’t intend to overthrow the government because she thought she would “have a role” if and when Trump invoked the Insurrection Act.
Wait, secret service? Remember a while back they changed some of Biden's team out to people he knew? I'm thinking his people knew something wasn't right.
Exactly. Like a real-life version of Hydra. There are white-supremacists embedded in every American institution at local, state and federal levels. Some folks don’t wanna see it or admit it; others know & ignore it until they are affected personally by it. This is not new.
Trump did not feel threateted…he was leading the insurrection…EVERYONE….EVERYONE knew of the danger…but because the President of the UNITED STATES told them to Stand Down…they did so…This is why Trump installed his cronies in the DOD and DOJ!!..question is what will happen now…
Whitney, Prince, MJ, Aretha, Luther, Marvin, Nina, Ella, Eartha, Dinah, Minnie, Maurice White, Aaliyah, Tupac, Biggie, Donny Hathaway, David Bowie, George Michael, Joe Sample, Al Jarreau, Phyllis Hyman, Natalie Cole, Rick James, Curtis Mayfield, Barry White and many more.

In that very split second, two lovely guys turned the corner on foot on a busy street, and insisted on putting on the spare tyre. While we chatted, they let me know their culture was of the pre-trumpy gop persuasion, saying they wanted to show there are good people in the world. They did.

No not B movie sci-fi…effecitive immediately in MT:
NO PERMIT required for concealed firearms including on university campuses.
Also applies to the MT state Capitol.
Pls read tea leaves.
Great! Just great!
Listen to Dr. Fauci. Also make sure you are doubled-up on masks when you’re out and about.
