Story I learned last night:
I started Girl Scouts in first grade and was an active scout until I was 17 (12th grade)—did ALL the GS stuff and loved my scouting experience. I was a GS national delegate.
My troop, 1001, was in Detroit and almost all black.
Sec. Acosta didn’t know women use contraceptives to treat medical conditions, but is still trying to limit our access to birth control.
He didn’t know junk plans don’t protect people with pre-existing conditions, but he’s trying to expand them anyway.
Not 👏🏾 on 👏🏾my 👏🏾 watch!
I had to share this picture after hearing last week’s @MyFavMurder. Here you’ll find an early 2000s scene of my brother & I playing w a power rangers toy. The best part is that my brother’s headphones aren’t plugged into anything 😂 #myfavoritemurder#ssdgm#PowerRangers
We launched exactly 24 hours ago + are closing in on 5 million views. We've heard from so many of you that it made you cry, both for what's lost and what could still be won. Maybe we don't have to sleepwalk off the climate cliff. Maybe we can change ourselves and the world too.
Happy #WomensHistoryMonth to the re-traumatized rape survivors, the "unlikeable" women hitting ceilings at the office, the trans women being told they aren't real women (you are!!), the teenage girls who read the headlines and wonder if this world cares about them. We do.
One of my favorite pods #BraveNotPerfect featured one of my favorite people & EVERYONE should listen. Applicable advice even if you’re not into politics. It was also super interesting to hear @AOC’s perspective of a @sunrisemvmt action that I attended. https://t.co/xFoVG26CMU
Really love @AOC’s new term, “Climate delayer.” Because, the truth is, Democrats that continually punt on climate change lead us the the exact same outcome as climate deniers.
We need bold, aggressive action. The status quo cannot solve this.
Women are nearly half the workforce, more than half of college students, more than half of voters. The issues we care about shouldn't be dismissed as "social issues" or "identity politics" - they should be recognized as central to a growing economy and a functioning democracy.
