Wow! Hello all my new followers! So happy to see you. It will take a minute to follow back. If any of you are part of my old bird app community or Threads, pls say hi 👋. I’m anxious to rebuild my community. Much gratitude 💙

Vile is a perfect description. Trans folks - please know so many have this view. You deserve to live with peace & ease! 🏳️‍⚧️ You are loved by so many - we will keep fighting for you!

Really well put criticism by Sotomayor here: the majority describes trans girls as an existential threat to women's sports but also so insignificant that excluding them doesn't raise any equal protection concerns.

We must continue the fight to affirm thepower & promise of the14th Amendment until all Americans understand,as Justice KBJ reminds us in her concurrence today“The Reconstruction Amendments were an anticaste,antisubordination reset 4 the Nation,not a mere spot treatment for thedark stain of slavery.”

As I’ve been saying.. (and getting criticized for being disappointed by Schumer & Jeffries “victorious” statements-they need to be prepared to fight if we retake the House majority).

16 years ago, the Supreme Court allowed obscene corporate donations in politics in #CitizensUnited. Today, the Court removed even more campaign finance restrictions, opening the floodgates of big money into politics right before the midterms.

two things. first, always an irony that alito recapitulates the exact same arguments made against his immigrant forbearers. second, if this is all the 14th amendment did it would not have repudiated dred scott

This folks! I’m not sure many of us “ignored” Roe. But the victory statements by Jeffries & Schumer are alarming. They are celebrating like it was a 9-0 ruling!

Everyone should be extremely concerned that birthright citizenship was 5-4 and not unanimous.

Life is hard for so many. This timeline is a lot. So much at stake. So many struggling to survive. I know I’m not alone..but I’m used to being a helper, an organizer, a fighter. I hate that I’m fighting just to survive another day, no spoons left for anything else. I want better for so many.

Folks…I feel gutted I haven’t been my usual active self - fighting for rights & democracy. Life is extremely challenging right now. If only I had proper healthcare, my vision restored & my ability to live a life of purpose. But instead I’m hustling many gigs while trying to set up a gofundme😔

This is a DESECRATION of the SOUL of AMERICA! He was executed in broad daylight by ICE for filming ICE on his phone! Trump/GOP bringing armed, violent militias to the streets of America to terrorize folks! No warrants, making themselves judge, jury, & executioners! LAWLESS CORRUPTION by Trump/GOP!

Our team just launched a new one-click tool to email your Senators and ask them to vote against renewing ICE funding. You can use it here ⬇️ win.newmode.net/votersoftomo...

Murc's Law in action. Blaming Democrats for things they have no control over, instead of blaming Republicans for what the GOP has done (or failed to do) with regard to things the GOP actually does have control over. 👉Republicans are responsible for their own actions/inactions.👈

What happens when SCOTUS disempowers lowers courts from enforcing basic constitutional rights at the behest of an authoritarian president committed to implementing white nationalism.

Correct Answer

Rest in Power Alice Wong! You were such an inspiration! Your legacy, your fight & impact for disability visibility and rights will be carried forward.

Emails? All of a sudden emails are of no concern to MAGA?

Most Americans agree we need to get money out of politics. If that takes a constitutional amendment, then that's what we have to do. And if that's going to take years, then it's all the more reason to begin pushing now.

I wonder if any of them realize that sculptor Anish Kapoor is an immigrant as well.

CALIFORNIA! Get your ballots completed and mailed or dropped in an official dropbox. Only 20% of CA has returned their ballots! Republicans are too. Please don’t wait. Vote #YesOn50 and return your ballots NOW! #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue

Exclusive: Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has given Congress a copy of the 2003 birthday book, including the letter with Trump’s signature that he has said doesn’t exist.

Call and ask them WHY?

Sotomayor: “We should not have to live in a country where the government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job.” But we do. Because the Supreme Court traded the Fourth Amendment for the MAGA Constitution. slate.com/news-and-pol...

I hate this timeline. We warned them that if they voted for him it would be the end of our democracy and here we are.

Any of my friends here represented by any of these members? Lets turn up the heat and make it their last term in Congress!

I really struck a nerve here. I stand by what I said.

Folks, a single individual in California receiving CalFresh aka SNAP benefits max is $292/month. If that person earns over $1,632/month,they lose their benefits. Republicans are voting to reduce that benefit so billionaires & multi-millionaires can get a huge tax cut. It’s egregious.

New version of the BBB bill, which Hawley supports, would cause 11.8M more Americans to become uninsured, per CBO estimates. That’s up from “only” 10.9M for the House bill, which Hawley had previously objected to. www.cbo.gov/publication/...

Democrats just bought voters an extra 12-15 hours to call their GOP senators and tell them that if they vote on this bill they WILL be held accountable. That's what SHOULD happen. But voters will instead blame Schumer for being in the minority and refuse to do anything to help themselves.

We love to see Senate Democrats doing everything in their power to delay and disrupt the vote on Trump’s Tax Scam. Thank you to Minority Leader @schumer.senate.gov and all of you who urged your Democratic senators to make this vote as painful as possible for the GOP.

Is there ANYTHING he doesn’t ruin?

- war without congressional approval - masked thugs abducting and deporting people without due process - concentration camps on foreign soil - US military deployed against protesters - tariffs costing families thousands - gutting healthcare for millions … we’re only 152 days in

E Pluribus Unum. “Out of many, one.” Public education is a core part of what makes us ONE country, indivisible, pledged to the goal of liberty and justice for all. Draining its budget for private schools is pure Jim Crow. Stop the Republican attack on our schools. #HandsOffPublicSchools

House Republicans smuggled this👇attack on the federal judiciary into their reconciliation bill. Courts rarely require plaintiffs to post security, so this provision, if passed into law, would render a vast number of existing judgments—including Boasberg's contempt order—effectively unenforceable.

If you want elected Democrats to "fight" you best understand that it will be *Black* Democrats on those front lines. And so you best have their backs when they're unconstitutionally asked to suffer the consequences. Defend Rep @replamonica.bsky.social My latest in @thenation.com

Just before you woke up, House Republicans voted to kick millions of people off critical assitance programs — all to pay for taxes for the 1%. Call your Senators, tell them to vote NO on this Billionaire Bailout Bill. win.newmode.net/votersoftomo...

The tax scam House Republicans passed last night is the largest cut to health care for working families in our nation's history. But this fight isn't over. The Senate can reject this bill, stand with @housedemocrats.bsky.social, and protect Americans’ health care.

GOP House big, UGLY bill passed with a 215-214 vote giving billionaires tax breaks, gutting 14 million Americans Medicaid & food assistance! GOP bill can be STOPPED in the Senate if 4 GOP Senators abstain or vote against it! If 1 word is changed, bill goes to the House & can be stopped in the House!

I am so angry that 15 years ago, democrats passed the affordable care act to expand healthcare access to MILLIONS of Americans, and republicans woke up EVERY DAY FOR 15 YEARS to try and take that away from you. If you have a Republican member of congress you need to hold them accountable!

My full statement:

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

The fight to protect Medicaid is getting dire MAGA Republicans already planned to strip healthcare from millions of Americans-cutting the program by $715 billion But that wasn’t good enough for ultra conservatives So now they’re looking to cut even more We. Cannot. Fail. SAVE OUR MEDICAID
