Do not let anyone tell you that your vote doesn’t matter. That you cannot change the vector of history. Because the truth is when we all show up, we win, together.

In the middle of one of the most painful seasons of my life, I’m forced to remind people that my mother and five other educators were also murdered at #sandyhook. It’s been a decade. Those women & their families deserve better. I’m fucking tired and I deserve better.

Ten years.
More than 100 children.
None forgotten.
Little change.
These are the lives we’ve lost.

Today is 10 years since Sandy Hook shooting. I find myself very emotional over horrific loss, and the fact that I was silent until I experienced loss from gun violence in Parkland. These names are the only thing to remember. I wish I never knew these families, but I love them.

While tries to distract with his COVID bullshit, can we start calling these insurance cost increases the #DeSantisTax.
Quote Tweet
My home is less than two years old. Just got my home insurance renewal. IT DOUBLED!!! The sham effort happening in Tallahassee now, that @GovRonDeSantis wants you to ignore, is not moving in a direction to help Floridians. Thanks Ron DeSantis for causing these price increases.

Another day has gone by and Kevin McCarthy, Steve Scalise & the rest of the GOP “leaders” have yet to condemn MTG’s comments about leading an armed insurrection. Instead, they’ll promote her. But let’s keep hearing how “both sides” need to tone it down 🙄

I’m going to eat some Kale salad today. And make fun of Marjorie Taylor Greene. And watch the video of lots of woke people booing at Dave Chappelle’s show. And work on some climate change legislation. And listen to Elton John.
Because, freedom. And
I’m still standing.

Here's the thing the media needs to remember as they report on the GOP witch-hunts: Republicans like James Comer and Jim Jordan are LIARS.
Jordan literally just lied about his own Committee's "Kanye. Elon. Trump" tweet.
DO NOT treat them as legitimate investigations.

Quote Tweet
The White House needs to learn how sarcasm works. My comments were making fun of Joe Biden and the Democrats, who have continuously made me a political target since January 6th.

Former President Trump appears to have mentioned my brother #PaulWhelan's wrongful detention more in the last 24 hours than he did in the 2 years of his presidency in which Paul was held hostage by #Russia (zero). I don't suggest he cares now any more than he did then (zero) twitter.com/peterbakernyt/…
