Since the summer after I turned 18, I've bought my dad @whitesox tickets for the two of us each Father's Day. When I got married last month, we needed to celebrate in style before walking down the aisle. #whitesox #chicago #Chicagobaseball #chicagowhitesox #wedding

Denmark's July 4, 2022 mass shooting was their first mass shooting since 1994

The July 4, 2022 Highland Park mass shooting was USA's first mass shooting since the July 4, 2022 Richmond mass shooting

1 mass shooting every 30 years vs 1 mass shooting every 3 hours. Gun Laws WORK

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

“The Highland Park parade had a heavy presence of police and fire vehicles…” How much more proof do we need before America acknowledges that good guys can’t stop men with a death wish and easy access to arsenals and ammunition?

It’s the fucking guns. https://t.co/UjC2Wyd3gl

@willbcampos I recently listened to all of Dungeons and Daddies and I'm going through Talking Dads. You talked about getting into audiobooks during quarantine (me too) and I CANNOT recommend The Color Purple narrated by Alice Walker (the author) highly enough

Several SCOTUS justices have now revealed themselves to be outright perjurers. Brace yourselves. In short order there will be a case before the court with the express intent of outlawing abortion nationally. Time to start giving a shit. REGISTER AND VOTE.

[Thomas Zimmer @tzimmer_history]

It’s terrifying to live in a country where any revelation about how the former president tried to abolish democracy can only dominate the news cycle for about 12 hours because the multi-level reactionary assault on the civil rights order is continuing with such brutal speed.

In the US, teachers buy their own chalk while cops get Captain America shields to protect themselves from women who want healthcare

[Ana Navarro-Cárdenas @ananavarro]

If keeping track, yesterday the Conservatives in the Supreme Court ruled against state rights regarding concealed weapons.

Today, they ruled in favor of state rights when it comes to women’s bodies.

They’re good with states regulating our uterus but not guns.

I’m curious: which companies now paying for abortions for their employees also gave money to senators who voted to confirm the justices who gutted this constitutional right?

[Meghan Waters @MeghanJMJW]

Som abortion thoughts: I teach sex ed and when I explain the menstrual cycle, I emphasize that if you are expecting your period, it’s one day late, and you take a pregnancy test, if it comes back positive, you are considered 4 weeks + 1 day into your pregnancy.

[Shannon Woodward @shannonwoodward]

if I don’t have the right to control my own body why the hell am I paying taxes

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Here’s how Dems can + must do more than wait for an election.

Let’s start w/ why:

- 7 of the 9 justices were appointed by a party that hasn’t won a popular vote more than once in 30 years

- 1 of those seats was stolen

- Several lied to Congress to secure their appointment…

@melhuman I thought you meant mac & cheese

Remember when you were young and thought YOU'D be the one doing great in the olympics and now you're almost 34 with no accomplishments to your name?

[Midwest vs. The Rest @midwestern_ope]

Midwesterners really be like I’m only walking from the door to the car so I don’t need a coat

Me to my fiance: "You know what today is, right?"
Him: *panics* *checks calendar*
Me: "It's very important to me."

When do I tell him it's the 20th Anniversary of The Fellowship of the Ring's release?

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Black and white Americans are about equally likely to use cannabis, but Black Americans are nearly four times more likely to be arrested for it. To start righting this wrong, I’m calling on President Biden to pardon everyone convicted of nonviolent federal cannabis offenses.

@RPahre Why? Someone in the 60s thought it was a cute idea and now we have to pretend it's delightful for eternity
