Honor of my lifetime to run this race with you. Good came from this and will continue to come from this.
We are in this fight for life. Not sure the path or the role but I know the way is forward. I will see you all out there.
The role of young people in this election cannot be understated. Turnout delivered on many of these races.
By 2024, Millennials & Gen Z voters will outnumber voters who are Baby Boomers and older, 45/25.
We are beginning to see the political impacts of that generational shift.
Overturning Roe and outlawing abortions will never make them go away.
It only makes them more dangerous, especially for the poor + marginalized.
People will die because of this decision. And we will never stop until abortion rights are restored in the United States of America.
Why is the court allowed to rule on anything when one of the judges is married to a person who tried to overthrow the US Government and two other judges were appointed by a man who tried to overthrow the US Government?
Guaranteed paid leave for new dads around the world:
🇯🇵: 30 weeks
🇰🇷: 15 weeks
🇸🇪: 11 weeks
🇮🇸: 9 weeks
🇨🇦: 5-8 weeks
🇺🇸: ZERO weeks
That is an international embarrassment. Let's guarantee paid leave for all new dads in this country.

If every other major country can guarantee health care as a right to all its people, why can't we? Yes, it's time for Medicare for All.
Two things Congress should do right now to tackle corruption in Washington head on:
1) ban the owning or trading of individual stocks by Members of Congress.
2) strengthen Supreme Court ethics rules and actually enforce them.
We could protect Roe tomorrow, but Sinema refuses to act on the filibuster. Until that changes she can take a seat talking about “women’s access to health care.”
Hold everyone contributing to this disaster accountable, GOP & Dem obstructionists included. She should be primaried.
Clarence Thomas should resign.
If not, his failure to disclose income from right-wing organizations, recuse himself from matters involving his wife, and his vote to block the Jan 6th commission from key information must be investigated and could serve as grounds for impeachment.
I'm more concerned about Putin, who has literally called for regime change in Kyiv and whose army is raping and killing, than Biden's words that Putin shouldn't be in power and who isn't actively invading Russia.
Some of y'all get caught up in this most ridiculous things.
When we talk about oligarchy in America we are talking about 700 billionaires who became nearly $2 trillion richer during the pandemic & pay a lower tax rate than a nurse while the child poverty rate soared by 41% in January because the expanded Child Tax Credit ended.
Journalists often ask me about my style of reporting. I don't run away from the question: I am very voicy. I report with an opinion. I care deeply about the people I write about and help them when I can.
I'll always be this way.
Thank you @AliVelshi for respecting what I do.
