This morning the New York Times warns that administration attacks on voting are raising fears it will try to challenge midterms results. That’s why we are urging you to vote early. Questions? Call the multi-lingual Election Protection Hotline. 866ourvote.org @lwv.org @brennancenter.org @aclu.org

Thank you @albamonica for persisting and demonstrating that the Pantshitterincheif supports child rapists once agian

Fuck the patriarchy Because the patriarchy won’t fuck itself

Emanuel is trash. This has been my take on him since the moment he first came to national prominence during the Obama admin. He would make a terrible dog shit cleaner let alone public office holder again

Damn this is awesome. Sounds like a new pastime

The frying pan “saving us” from the fire

You know what, I will. This is what I have been pushing Dems to do both in my reporting and behind the scenes. Go on offense. The saturation of the airwaves with anti-trans ads is a weakness. Don't throw trans people under the bus. Capitalize on Republicans throwing themselves under.

In New Zealand, the High Court ruled that a puberty blocker ban violates prohibitions on discrimination on the basis of a medical condition. It stated the ban was "unjustified and disproportionate discrimination." Trans youth can get care again. Subscribe to support our journalism.

This 👇 had me yelling YES!! over my coffee this morning. A decade of feeling like the only adult in a room full of 10 year old bullies.

I honestly don’t know much about El-Sayed, but this is a perfect answer from him. It’s also hilarious that Tommy used to work for Josh Hawley and was paid 250k for influencer marketing AGAINST El-Sayed. They might want to get a refund. What a spectacular backfire. The walk of shame at the end. 🤣

At 16, Corion Evans jumped into the Pascagoula River after a car carrying three teenage girls plunged into the water. He rescued all three, then swam back out to save a police officer who was also struggling. In one night, he helped save four lives.

And pay them compensation for our betrayal as a society

Hey Americans:THIS is how we need to protest. Occupy,obstruct buildings & burn shit. All the cute wandering around our own neighborhoods(like is about to happen AGAIN this Saturday’s no kings nothingburger)amounts to cheerleading for the losing team as it gets literally killed/jailed by this admin

So, a Trump supporter told me that, “nobody gives a sh*t” about Indigenous Peoples Day. Please, tell me, do you care about Indigenous Peoples Day?

Absolutely true

Not like those skulls are doing anything useful right now

Many of you are asking how you can help me. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld

Wishing a blessed and peaceful Yom Kippur to all our neighbors observing.   G’mar Chatimah Tovah.

FFS, “. . . no evidence of foul play. . . “. He was HANGING FROM A TREE.That is the very definition of foul play. The foulest, most vile play of all Black folks DO NOT, HAVE NOT nor will they EVER hang themselves from trees. NEVER HAPPENED,NEVER,NOT now NOT EVER How is this even being considered?

25 years ago today, George W. Bush signed the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force into law. Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against it, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

It's a primary feature of fascism, exhaustion.

From last year. A good history lesson.

Reminder: voter fraud is not a thing. Voter suppression is.

In my work to dismantle, unlearn, & do better than the patriarchal horseshit I have internalized over decades, today I heard the most scathing indictment. Absolutely being deeply, truly, utterly, justly called out: “every woman knows a woman who has been raped but no man ever knows a rapist.”

Welcome to the race, Governor Abbott. To catch you up to speed, I've spent the last year talking to Texans about the issues that matter to them: saving Texas schools and putting money in their pockets. Texans are ready for change this November.

The world has gone mad! Folks getting arrested under the UK Terrorism Act for holding a sign that said "I oppose genocide" 🇬🇧 That is fucked up! The majority of those arrested have been pension aged women, often with disabilities. Do these folks look like terrorists? Shame on you England. #Free 🇵🇸

john fetterman is the first rat in history to climb onto a sinking ship.

THIS!!!

I feel like this tweet doesn't get talked about enough.

For years, New Yorkers have demanded access to City records about the lasting health impacts of the horrific September 11th attacks. For years, they have been denied and ignored. That ends today. nyc.gov/sept11docs

He's wrong about virtually everything in this post, except for one thing. Equality Ohio DID surrender trans people, like Amy Acton did. When your org capitulates to the point anti-trans leaders celebrate like this, you know you did wrong. Ashamed to ever have had a good relationship with the org.
