@emoonae @cmclymer I would argue that those in power know precisely how essential libraries are to challenging that power.

Graham Smith, VMLY&R Global LGBTQ+ ERG chair, discusses our decision to join the stand against trans discrimination in Texas and around the country 👉 “We want work to just be such a caring, free environment for all of our staff.” https://t.co/IxxMVGh24G

Pure unadulterated racism.

[VMLY&R @VMLYR]

Trans Rights are Human Rights. VMLY&R stands with the @HRC and 60-plus other companies in condemning efforts in Texas and across the U.S. which would write discrimination into law and policy — hurting trans youth and LGBTQ+ people.

Idaho's house just passed HB 675.

It passed by a vote of 55-13.

It would make providing gender affirming care to trans teens a felony with a life sentence..

Worse... it makes leaving the state with your trans teen to move elsewhere and provide them with care a felony as well.

We have real problems. Being able to afford a home, child care, paying for college. Why on earth do we have leaders inventing problems to solve rather than solving problems we have.

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

What's happening in Texas will lead to higher rates of abuse, harassment, and ultimately suicides of trans children. Greg Abbott is attempting to completely erase trans children from the public square, and trans kids will die because of it. Those are the stakes here.

[Dee Snider🇺🇸🎤 @deesnider]

People are asking me why I endorsed the use of "We're Not Gonna Take It" for the Ukrainian people and did not for the anti-maskers. Well, one use is for a righteous battle against oppression; the other is a infantile feet stomping against an inconvenience.

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

As Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rep Paul Gosar speak at this white supremacist, anti-Semitic, pro-Putin event, silence by Republican Party leaders is deafening and enabling.

All Americans should renounce this garbage and reject the Putin wing of the GOP now.

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

Ketanji Brown Jackson has more judicial experience than Clarence Thomas, John Roberts, Elena Kagan, & Amy Coney Barrett had COMBINED. Anyone who criticizes her for “qualifications” is telling on themselves.

[Gabrielle Union @itsgabrielleu]

This is where we are. We shot past dangerous and horrific a long time ago. The rubber has hit the road so who is standing shoulder to shoulder in this fight? Who truly gives a sh*t and whose on that performative bs? Let's see.

[dms @1baselou4]

@TShepard4MO Democrats as people, as voters, or as leaders? I have different words for all three.

[G.I.F.T. @kansascitygift]

$10 a month goes a long way! Through group economics, we will begin to see individuals in economically disadvantaged areas, able to afford to work for themselves, support their families, build generational wealth, and own homes.

True story.

So a father was asleep at home with his two kids, 1 & 3, when the police bust in the door around 4:30 a.m. Dad fires one shot at the door because he wakes up and just sees a guy in his house. Realizes after he shoots that it's a cop and puts the gun down.

[Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle]

In the last four decades, CEO pay is up 1,322% and median worker pay is up 18%.

Can someone explain to me why the 1,322% doesn't contribute to inflation but the 18% does?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Starbucks is raising prices again, blaming supply chain issues and labor costs.

Meanwhile, Starbucks CEO’s total compensation rose 39% in 2021 to $20.4 million.

Do not be fooled. This is about corporate greed. It always is.
