You know as people still try to justify why Hillary Clinton was not good enough for them. And how happy they are about how we are resisting this current mess now. I want to briefly remind you of all the burdens you placed on many American's for your purity! /1
First off as a Black woman and a mother of a son both of us with serious illness (me Schizoaffective) my child Autistic, I had enough woes and worries on my mind. But now thanks to the Trump administration I have watched the following: /2
The promise to the Natives in regards to the pipelines not being put down rolled back along with several environmental roll backs that will devastate our natural lands for many years. /3
The Muslim Ban which was able to get a slight pass now, which restricts people I personally know and love from being able to travel out of their own damn country. Or have family from banned countries come to visit. /4
The Transgender Military Ban, which they are still trying to roll out despite it being ridiculous. And don't you think for a minute once they go after Transgender service members that all LGBT will not be next! /5
The rise of ICE as literal domestic terrorists who target brown people asking for papers that most Americans have the luxury of never really thinking about carrying till now (I keep my and my son's ID on me now thanks purity voters!) /6
The placement of Assylum seekers in jail and their children in interment camps in cages. But sure be merry that you and your soccer mom/fashion tv club can take protest selfies. /7
The ignoring of our damn Justice Deportment of several incidents of misconduct by Police officers that have lead to the deaths of unarmed black citizens. Along with a ridiculous amount of white people feeling the police are their personal bouncers! /8
The fact that a sexual predator was elected in the first place. And despite those of us finally speaking up about our trauma women are still treated as suspect of our pain. But ooh you get to put #Resist in your bio! /9
If I seem pissed off or surly you better believe it! Because so many of us worked hard to prevent this mess from happening. So finding comfort in the need to protests when ahem some of us already had things to protest and work on is so typical white privilege! /10
You may not want to read this or face this truth, but you are not the good guys in this. Your speaking up now because this shit finally may affect you at some point does not make you the good guys. Some of us were suffering before Trump and now get more on top of us! /11
So think about that mess before you fix yourself to tweet at me or any other lamenting the stolen election of 2016 and the apathy some of you lazy ass mofos were proud to indulge in. And spar me the we are in this together! Because we are not. /12
Some of us are in this battle because we now know our causes will never be addressed unless we clean up the mess YOU all made by voting out of fear of losing your societal footing. And if my truth hurts your feelings oh well! /end
Added because I cannot believe this slipped my mind but the entire response to Hurricane Maria would have been a heck of a lot different under a Clinton administration. Yet you want to talk to me about "resisting?" resist your ass on out my mentions! /real end

The sad truth was people who are looking for the next Barack Obama, fail to understand that to win Mr. Obama had to be damn near perfect. And had it been Michelle who ran first she would have hit the same wall as Hillary even though she is on her husband's level! /1
The fact is instead of striving for another Barack Obama how about being okay with a politician with experience? How about getting them a house and senate that will work with them instead of obstructing them? /2
How about understanding that there is a lot more to politics than making speeches and in this current idiots case throwing useless rallies. Policy making, vital national and global decision making needs people geared towards that. /3
Thread: on this #MentalHealthMonday I want to get a bit personal and describe what is is like to have my disorder. I hope that by taking a chance and doing this it opens people's eyes to what this feels like. And helps those who still are not sure about speaking up. /1
Hi I'm Tynisa and I have Schizophrenia. But I also get a double whammy of having Bipolar tendencies as well. The doctors officially call this condition SchizoAffective Disorder. I know there are technical ways to describe this illness. But id rather show a more human view. /2
I have always been what is now classified as introverted growing up. Much preferring my own company, or a book than dealing with others. Growing up in a large boisterous family who loved gatherings is bittersweet for me. I often felt out of place and worn out from such things. /3
I weighed whether to tweet this or not but I am in total fuck your feelings mode tonight!
If you are calling yourself "resistance" if you are crying out for a "blue wave" yet all you fucking do is continue to back old white men you are not on the same side as me. /1
I am so fucking tired of people supporting white patriarchal fuckery because you are all still too secretly scared to embrace diverse politicians. And even though we had eight good fucking years of democracy. You are all still willing to go for leaders who look like you! /2
You retweet shit from Richard Painter, You talk about supporting Joe Biden, some of you still try to be pro Bernie Sanders in my mention. Fuck all of you, you are exactly the reason we are here right now. Because trusting women, POC, LGBT gives ya asses the vapors! /3
Thread: "Of Tantrums and Threats" Democrats we need to realize we are being put through an abusive situation. And we need to walk away from those who keep trying to tell us we cannot go on without them!
On the heels of the DNC vote to have Democrats only able to run in our Primaries, we are seeing an influx of folks saying "this is suppression, or we are gonna split your party then you will be stuck with Trump for another four years!" They sure do love whining and threatening.
Point blank like pandering to the mythical "white working class" these folks were never on our side. There will never be a Democrat pure enough for them. They will always be too corporate, not "brogressive" enough. Or some ridiculous crap they will pull out especially...
As a fellow child of a war time service member, you spazzing out the other day about patriotism makes me roll my eyes. If you truly grasped the depths of sacrifice your own father made. Youd understand the right to protest injustice.
Trump's threat to mess with the tax breaks the NFL has was the reason for their terrible call. Its not about the flag, the anthem. It sure as heck is not about patriotism. It is about putting black folks in "our place." For you to act otherwise is disingenuous.
Point blank I see you, what you tried to do. What so many like you who thump a bible and salute a flag you feel should only represent your ideals...That is not how America works. We will never be a straight white Christian only nation. No matter how many bigots you give power.
Someone tweeted to me last night about our need of a healthy two party system, and I was already agitated from the long move and seeing stupid tweets from people defending legalized lynching so I did not want to rudely clap back on that tweeter due to that. /1
But I did want to eventually respond to my thoughts on anyone who claims to want change after Trump who still believe in the Republican party, conservative agenda Pre Trump. Or the remnants of fossilized dust that will hopefully be the only thing left after this mess. /2
I get the feeling said tweeter has never been apart of Marginalized America. Like many new to this whole "resistance" thing. She is upset that we have such a rude boorish oaf in the White House. But she still fails to understand what exactly is the issue with the GOP. /3
