There has been an attempt to bring back #fascism, #racism, #misogyny, #transphobia and #corruption, using threats of violence and persecution.

We can't hold Presidents accountable while in office.
That is a major weakness in our #democracy!

A major weakness in our #democracy is that we can't hold a sitting President accountable for their misdeeds.

Trump has designated 'antifa' a terrorist group. Here are the questions that raises

Current law provides for the designation of some groups as "foreign terrorist organizations," but no similar process exists for domestic groups.

I appreciate #AviLoeb's concern & his curiosity but I would advise him to be careful about frightening people with his description of a "blind date".

I'm also concerned that he considers talking to #JoeRogan as on par with addressing members of the US #Congress!
