I’ve given up arguing with MAGAts. They reject any documented fact that disagrees with what their son’s wife’s sister’s father-in-law’s friend heard in a bar while drunk.

DC residents have fought and died in every war, yet those armed service members are denied the freedoms they have fought to protect. #DCStatehood #HR51
Good life advice. "You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending."
When I travel to some countries, I am required to show that I have been vaccinated for Yellow Fever. It's no big deal and it is not a sign of a fascist government. #VaccinePassport #CovidIsReal
If Christians are spreading conspiracy theories and misinformation, others have no reason to believe them when they proclaim the gospel of Jesus. We don’t need more Christ in Christmas, we need more Christ in Christians.
On Nov 3, 2020, Puerto Rico voters for the third time chose statehood from the viable options. #Statehood4PuertoRico en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Pu...
In the Winter of 2021-22, In 15 states under 50% of folks had gotten at least one shot of a vaccine. It’s no surprise that those states had the majority of the winter COVID deaths. #VaccinesWork
Not all Trump supporters started out as racists, but all of them have decided that racism is not a deal-breaker, which does make them racist.
“People who don’t vaccinate (but could) are imposing costs to the community that they’re not paying for.” We make polluters pay for their impact. -Dorit Reiss UC Hastings College of Law. #VaccinesWork
DC receives between 25-30% of its budget from the federal government; as a percentage, this is less than five states and is on a par with three others. #DCStatehood
These days, criminal conduct is verging to become a requirement for Republican leaders. Their claim that Felon 45, S. Bannon, G. Santos, the Jan 6th capital invaders did no wrong & are being attacked by a woke press says law & order isn’t their thing anymore #VoteBlue
I feel sorry for people wanting to write dystopian novels. The MAGAt Republicans keep stealing all their best ideas. #VoteBlue
DC is the only place in the contiguous United States where US Citizens have no representation. That needs to be fixed. Give them the representation they are entitled to as citizens of the United States. #DCStatehood
D.C. has a population that is larger than that of Vermont or Wyoming. Puerto Rico has a population larger than that of 20 of the 50 states. They're both denied statehood, not because of population, but how they might vote.
30,000 Veterans who live in DC don’t have a vote in Congress. #DCStatehood
In 2017, voters for the second time chose statehood from the viable options by 97%. #Statehood4PuertoRico en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Pu...
I think it’s strange that if you support our country doing what Jesus commanded the nations to do such as, feeding the poor, welcoming the stranger & healing the sick, Republicans will call you a woke godless communist. Ref Matt 25:31-46
DC now operates as if it were a state with the exception of federal control over courts and is unable to call out their national guard as happened on Jan 6th when there was over an hour delay before Pence approved calling out the Gaurd. #DCStatehood
Republicans are now captive to their social media outrage machine. Their focus on creating culture wars instead of dealing with the issues America needs addressing is not good for the USA. I don’t how this will end except if they loses massively in 2026. #GOPTraitorsToDemocracy
A core tenet of our founding principles – that US citizens should have a say in who governs them – is being denied from the people of Washington, D.C. #DCStatehood
When MAGAts say they can’t vote for Democrats because of their Christian beliefs, I can’t take them seriously. Because again and again and again, The Felon’s words and actions fly in direct contradiction to the character and teaching of Christ.
A Dec 5, 21 NPR analysis shows that In October, the reddest tenth of the country saw death rates that were six times higher than the bluest tenth. The higher the vote share for Trump, the lower the vaccination rate. #VaccinesWork tinyurl.com/2p936257
Conservatives did not get vaccinated, to "Own the Libs". All they accomplished was killing off more conservatives. #VaccinesWork tinyurl.com/meae4743
The culture of right wing distortion has resulted in 18.7% of folks saying violence is needed to protect democracy when elected leaders will not. - political violence survey by Dr Wintemute, UC Davis, July 22. 2022
Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch volunteer while walking home. The shooter claimed to act in self-defense. Martin was holding a bag of Skittles and an Arizona Ice Tea. #BlackLivesMatter www.cnn.com/2013/06/05/u...
I had to research this myself. Not surprisingly, the top 1% in Texas pay less than California, but the bottom 20% pay higher taxes, 13% TX and 10.5% CA. The middle 60%. 8.9% in CA vs 9.7% in Texas. Here’s one of many articles with data. www.chron.com/news/houston...
I think it is ironic that the people who are threatening civil war and took horse dewormer, are saying the vaccinated and mask wearers were the extreme ones. #VoteBlue
Cameron Tillman was shot and killed by a police officer while hanging out with his friends in an abandoned house with the owner's consent. He was alive for at least 45 minutes. The officers offered no medical assistance. #BlackLivesMatter america.aljazeera.com/watch/shows/...
In Sept 2022, 4 Texas Republicans introduced a bill to make having an abortion punishable by death. Nothing says pro life like the death penalty. tinyurl.com/mr3apyte
