"It's not the Republican Party that I signed up for," @RepGallagher just said on TV. I admire the broader theme of his message, but IT IS EXACTLY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY YOU SIGNED UP FOR, MIKE. — PolitiTweet.org

This is not a plot twist. This is a plot realization. This is everything many have variously minimized, enabled, laughed off, cynically embraced, and exploited for five years. Shame on every last one of you. — PolitiTweet.org

While Congress is debating whether to throw out an election result, its offices are being evacuated because of threats from protesters incited by the president, who is refusing to leave office. We have become the kind of country to which we have often tried to spread democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

How did these French fry crumbs get here???!! We must condemn the French fries in no uncertain terms! These French fries threaten our entire system of diet! Just because I ordered and ate them doesn't mean I can't warn you against the threat they represent! — PolitiTweet.org

Mitch's speech reminds me of every time I've ever ordered French fries, eaten them, then lectured the empty plate. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @sebtown: "..we haven’t been living right..... And that revelation is, strange as it seems, a kind of gift." https://t.co/EjsW8IwdGr — PolitiTweet.org

Today, as we greet historic victories in Georgia, as a new president is certified, as an autocratic attempt by a kleptocrat masquerading as a plutocrat will finally be beaten back, this is one of those times when you get to decide what the next era is. https://t.co/ERMSfnmDS7 — PolitiTweet.org

2020 didn't reveal holes in our policy apparatus. It revealed that we haven't been living right. It revealed the moral and spiritual bankruptcy of a whole age. This becomes the work now. To end one era and write another into being. https://t.co/ERMSfnmDS7 — PolitiTweet.org

2020 flipped the script from "It’s hard to change things" to "We have no choice but to change things." https://t.co/ERMSfnmDS7 — PolitiTweet.org

THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites

Ordinarily, this a depressing truth about our capacity to change in normal times. But the awful, unwanted gift of 2020 is that we were finally plunged into one of those kinds of times ourselves. https://t.co/ERMSfnmDS7 — PolitiTweet.org

Without World War I, without women having to play roles they were seldom permitted to play before, it’s hard to imagine suffrage happening the way it did. https://t.co/ERMSfnmDS7 — PolitiTweet.org

Without World World II, without all those Black soldiers going to Europe to fight a Nazi army and coming home with new questions about their own society, it’s hard to imagine the civil rights movement unfolding in the way it did. https://t.co/ERMSfnmDS7 — PolitiTweet.org

Traveling on the road in recent years, back when you could, I heard something time and again from the activists of earlier generations: The change you want is commendable, but change like that doesn't happen absent war and disaster and crisis. https://t.co/ERMSfnmDS7 — PolitiTweet.org

Today is the beginning of the next era. With the year gone by having revealed what it revealed, will we find the gumption to seize what may be the greatest chance to change things in our lifetime? An essay on Georgia and the road ahead in The Ink. https://t.co/ERMSfnmDS7 — PolitiTweet.org

This is one of those moments when you get to decide what the next era is. They come rarely in history. Let’s not waste it. A good day for this talk I got to have with @corbintrent and @saikatc, who know something about making the improbable happen. https://t.co/v2pF8XIj6k https://t.co/7wr6KVLnZD — PolitiTweet.org

Telling everyone you know, in advance, that a politician isn't going to do anything gives them permission not to do anything. Maybe use your precious breath to urge them to do something. — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Biden can, if he chooses, do big things to help Americans. We've got him covered with some ideas. https://t.co/yNah3wLlXN — PolitiTweet.org

This is so darkly profound. We know that Trump’s father told him there are only killers and zeros, and now that toxic legacy lives on through his son, who says you can be a hero or a zero. We are witnessing how a chain of broken men break a democracy. https://t.co/iwSHVV2oDT — PolitiTweet.org
