Although we may not always agree on every policy, I am proud to see the @VTGOP has declined to follow in the anti-democratic steps that many of their colleagues in other states have taken. Here in Vermont, democracy and freedom have always been our modus vivendi. @BernieSanders https://t.co/OHJS8DK8lW — PolitiTweet.org

Teachers and state employees are the engines that keep Vermont moving. They are not responsible for the pension deficit, yet will be forced to bear the brunt of the burden. This isn’t just a broken promise, but an immoral, inequitable and unjust solution. @vermontnea @VSEAUnite — PolitiTweet.org

Governor’s are meant to protect the rights and health of their state’s citizens. This is a monstrous attack on both. Wherever you’re from, make your voice heard. — PolitiTweet.org

The grotesque wealth of Jeff Bezos isn’t the product of a meritocracy, it’s proof of plutocracy. Now is the time for a #WealthTax — PolitiTweet.org

Over 10 million Americans vaccinated over the past 3 days. We’ve all had to sacrifice in tremendous ways over the past year, but if we stay the course we can beat this virus and begin to tackle the long-standing challenges we face. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to @PeterWelch for understanding popular progressive policies and democracy depend on it. — PolitiTweet.org

Immigration reform is a complex and multilayered issue. No wonder Republicans prefer to complain about the situation than legislate the solutions. — PolitiTweet.org

Undocumented immigrants are your co-workers, neighbors, and fellow community members. Their health and well-being is your health and well-being. This bill is a major step towards health equity. — PolitiTweet.org

@IlhanMN Now illegal in Georgia: knocking on the Governor’s door, handing out food and water to those on voting lines and exercising your basic right to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Maybe if Republicans proposed better policies they wouldn’t be so scared of their voters. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Shumlin @GovPeterShumlin

Georgia Republicans are squarely focused on disenfranchising their constituents, denigrating our constitution, and destroying democracy. This is a fight as old as America, and one in which the righteous will win. — PolitiTweet.org

Decades ago the filibuster was used to preserve Jim Crow. In 2021 it will be used to try to reinstitute Jim Crow laws across the country. We are only a democracy so long as all Americans have access to the ballot box. If the Senate keeps the filibuster, democracy is in peril. — PolitiTweet.org

@RepJudyChu @MaddowBlog Agreed. The most shameful part is that the House Minority Leader offers no policy proposal. — PolitiTweet.org

Meanwhile, the VT House passed a bill banning the use of the LGBTQ+ panic defense. With great young legislators like the bills leading sponsor @TaylorSmallVT, I am hopeful Vermont can pave the way for the codification of trans rights as human rights across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

This is big. Not only does it ease participation in our democratic process, it also encourages informed participation. Work, childcare, and transportation should not be barriers to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

When Democrats lose elections we tend to reflect, reassess our policies, and refine our message. For better or worse. When Republicans lose elections they try to stop people of color from voting. For worse. — PolitiTweet.org
