Major news out of Montgomery County, Maryland.

A federal judge has ruled that there is no "right" to opt out of LGBTQ+ inclusive curriculum.

Students in MoCo must be allowed to learn about LGBTQ+ history and people!

Same woman. Same spot. 45 years later.

The Georgia PSC wants to remove diversity, equity, and inclusion requirements from educator training and is scheduled to vote on May 11.

Tell the commission to vote NO on these proposed rules. Visit https://t.co/V2nx2Y2cED to send them an email. It only takes 2 minutes!

Y'all, a massive crowd has descended on Missoula, Montana - home of my loving partner, Representative Zephyr - to proclaim that they will not be silenced.

The event is expected to grow in the coming hours.

They've woken a movement in Montana.

A 16 year old was shot for ringing the wrong doorbell.

A 20 year old was shot and killed for driving down the wrong driveway.

An 18 year old is in critical condition for trying to get into the wrong car.

And a 6 year old and her dad were shot because her basketball rolled onto the wrong lawn.

In a nation armed to the teeth & perpetually primed for war, these tragedies are only going to happen more often, not less.

What the hell are we doing?

This is one of the most despicable things I've seen in modern politics, and modern politics is a cesspool.

The House fails to pass SB233, a bill to provide $6500 annual private school vouchers to kids in lowest performing public schools has failed to pass in the Georgia House. Opponents to the measure argue that the vouchers would hurt public schools especially in rural GA. @wabenews

[Georgia House Democrats @GAHouseDems]

SB233 WAS VOTED DOWN, 85 TO 89!!

The GOP is scared. SB 233 will come up again tonight before the close of Sine Die – but this is a victory for every student, every parent, every teacher and organizer who fought tooth and nail to stop this bad bill. #gapol

[Georgia Youth Justice Coalition for Action @georgiayouthco]

Countless more students across Georgia have been emailing and calling their Representatives to oppose #sb233

This bill is bad for all Georgia's students! Our representatives know that- the record will show who really wants every child to thrive in this state!

[Georgia Youth Justice Coalition for Action @georgiayouthco]

Our legislators say they want to hear from students:

Well, seven students spoke against #sb233 at the last public hearing, calling on their representatives to vote NO on this bill to defund our public schools! #gapol

This powerful op-ed documents their experience:

[Staci Fox (she/her/y'all) @StaciFox]

#SB233 vouchers only create more inequity in Georgia and our @GaBudget put that into a map!

@bluestein @GovKemp @EWErickson The bill is awful. Why would Kemp send money to private schools?

[Patricia Murphy @MurphyAJC]

NEW: A letter from more than 500 health care providers is telling Georgia lawmakers considering a bill to ban surgery & hormone replacement for transgender youth: "Politicians shouldn’t be in the room for private family conversations like this.” #gapol https://t.co/YIew4bNXwe
