If you are okay with having Muslim, Jewish and Hindu students sit through a Christian prayer in public school, and not okay with having Christian students sit through a Muslim, Jewish or Hindu prayer, then it’s NOT religious freedom- it’s religious oppression.

If you’re against abortion, don’t get one.
If you’re against contraception, don’t take any.
If you’re against same-sex relationships, don’t have one.
If you’re against same-sex marriage, don’t marry someone of same gender.
Do not impose your beliefs & religion on all Americans.

No irony here: I legitimately do not know how. Citizens are not allowed to vote directly on gun control, our reps are against it or ineffectual, the Supreme Court is in no way beholden to the public, and extremely harsh penalties were just passed for protesting them directly.

How fortunate I am to put my kids into warm, safe beds tonight. To know they will wake up for a boring breakfast and basketball games in the morning. I will never take this for granted. All my prayers for Ukrainians tonight especially the moms/dads trying to shield their children

Journalists, stop calling the failure to pass the voting rights bill a “major setback” for Democrats. It is a major setback for DEMOCRACY. The right to vote is not a partisan issue. Stop framing it as such and legitimizing anti-voter efforts.

Honestly it really is sad that people experience our convoluted, expensive healthcare system, soaring rent, lack of childcare etc, and think “this is normal” but gas prices go up or bread is sold out and they’re like “the president did this to me and must immediately take action”

What we are witnessing is a system functioning as designed and protecting those it was designed for.
My heart still breaks for the communities and families whose grief now compounds, and the countless others who will be denied and deprived in similar scenes across the country.

If trick-or-treating worked like capitalism:
1 kid gets all the candy
He gives a few kids 1 M&M each and is called a generous philanthropist
Other kids ask why they're candy-less & are called lazy
He retires from Halloween & writes laws to ensure he gets unlimited candy for life

A thing I didn’t know until my extremely planned pregnancy is that on the day you miss your period, you are considered 4 weeks pregnant. Which means 6-week bans like TX’s are a lot more like 2-week bans, making abortion illegal before most people even realize they’re pregnant.

Going to bed thinking about @Simone_Biles saying, “We hope America still loves us.”
Goodness.
We more than love you. We adore you. We cherish you. We admire you. We feel for you. We are rooting for you.
Thanks for taking care of yourself. We all need that example.

This is why it’s not enough to tell people to vote. People did vote. These voter suppression laws are in response to people organizing and voting. Our democracy is on the cusp and we cannot treat this as politics as usual.

The January 6th attack was a warning. Today, Republicans block a bi-partisan investigation so they can defend the Big Lie & appease insurrectionists. And they've pushed 400+ anti-voter bills + new laws to subvert elections at the state level. We must defend our democracy. Now.

this is an incredible feature which also has me thinking about how interesting it is that the Tulsa massacre has gone from fairly obscure to basically mainstream knowledge in a few short years nytimes.com/interactive/2021…

Guaranteed housing & universal healthcare will save more lives than policing ever could.

“We’re a female team trying to enter the ad industry and we’ve experienced sexism. We emailed our book to 80 advertising creatives. Half of whom thought we were women, the other 40 thought we were men. The results were surprising.”
