Your right to own a gun does not trump my child’s right to live.

@RepSusanWild needs to have a seat. You and other democrats trying to silence the votes of people in #IA02 need to do your jobs. #SusanWild #Pennsylvania #Iowa @RepZoeLofgren @SpeakerPelosi

Weed is legal in DC. Biden firing staffers for past use is just as ridiculous as firing them for having a beer on their night off.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

Legalize cannabis.
Expunge criminal records.
Invest in people we criminalized.

[Deacon Blues @lusstylucy]

The Atlanta terrorist purchased his gun the same day he murdered 8 people. You cannot register and vote on the same day in Georgia.

Tonight, our chair resigned from the Scott County Democratic Party. The party is not open to progressives or POC locally. It’s not worth the time anymore. We can’t keep doing the same losing thing and expecting different results. This account will be deleted. Cheers.

In an interview, @andreamsahouri says she believes race played a part in the state's motivation behind her case, saying it's easier for officials to attempt to argue a woman of color wasn't following police orders. https://t.co/2MmTa2vobr

Iowa has turned in to a real authoritarian shit show under a GOP trifecta.

[Latino Power @LtnxDemsSCIA]

Shame on @LizMathis1 @NateBoulton and all the other @iowademocrats who voted for this and the other racist bills today and yesterday. Iowa needs much better democrats.

[Stephen Gruber-Miller @sgrubermiller]

The Iowa Senate just voted 41-7 to pass legislation that would cut state funds for cities that "defund the police" by reducing their police budgets by a greater percentage than their overall budget. All Republicans and nine Democrats voted for the measure. https://t.co/XBTa0gjEZi

[Bleeding Heartland @LauraRBelin]

Sad to see ten Ds vote for this bill (Tony Bisignano, Nate Boulton, Bill Dotzer, Eric Giddens, Kevin Kinney, Jim Lykam, Liz Mathis, Amanda Ragan, Jackie Smith, Todd Taylor). Let local governments find efficiencies in their budgets.
(P.S. Rs will say you hate police anyway.)

2 cases of voter fraud in 2020: let's pass 253 voter suppression bills in 43 states

525,000 dead Americans: who needs covid relief?

BREAKING: Andrea Sahouri is found not guilty of all charges.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

Republicans will never stop trying to prevent people of color from voting.

Because when we vote, they lose.

BREAKING: Lindsey Graham is "under criminal investigation in Georgia for his phone call attempt to overturn the election."
@CalltoActivism

What do you want to tell @LindseyGrahamSC right now?

[Latino Power @LtnxDemsSCIA]

We concur! Why are @kyrstensinema @Sen_JoeManchin essentially supporting racist voting laws? Or rather, why aren’t they stopping them?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

How about we stop asking Krysten Sinema and Joe Manchin if they support the filibuster and start asking them why they’re comfortable doing nothing while the GOP introduces 253 bills across the country eviscerating the right to vote?

[Latino Power @LtnxDemsSCIA]

@hinsonashley Your party is responsible for almost all of the debt. Wars. Tax cuts for rich people. Refusal to make rich people and corporations pay taxes. Clinton left a surplus. Then it was decimated. Obama left a great economy and Tr*** tanked it.

[Latino Power @LtnxDemsSCIA]

We need a new state Senator Davenport. Lykam is out of touch and represents a city with an 11% Black population. He needs to go.

[Bleeding Heartland @LauraRBelin]

Here's the bill limiting #diversity training at #Iowa universities: https://t.co/0VVWQQEsIe
The 4 Democrats who joined Republicans in voting for it: Tony Bisignano, Kevin Kinney, Jim Lykam, and Herman Quirmbach (that surprised me as he's longtime ISU faculty). #ialegis
