This tweet will probably get me a little more Twitter jail time, but oh well...💃🏾

[Rep. Mike Thompson @RepThompson]

Today marks one year since we introduced #HR8, my bipartisan legislation to expand background checks and help keep our communities safe from gun violence. Leader McConnell continues to block a vote on this vital legislation. RT to tell him it’s time to hold a vote.

“I'm saying we love Americans, but we hate your president” 😭

Are these the "terrorist" we are fighting in the middle east?

Does this man look or even sound a terrorist to you?

My heart breaks for my people.💔

"Are we human or not?"

[Julián Castro @JulianCastro]

Fred Hampton was only 21 when he was murdered by Chicago Police 50 years ago today.

He fought for better education and housing, to end hunger and police violence.

He taught that where there's people, there's power. We can live that lesson today.

Today, @RepMikeLevin introduced a bipartisan gun safety bill to incentivize safe storage.

This is the path forward to #endgunviolence. If we expand safe storage, we can reduce unintentional shootings by 73%. #EndFamilyFire

‘You decided to prioritize the deportation of critically ill kids, and I’m trying to figure out why.’ — @AOC gave this Trump official the third degree on his decision to end deportation deferment for sick kids

Where will you be October 19th? We’ll be rallying with @PeriodMovement in celebration of #NATIONALPERIODDAY! So thrilled to announce our new partnership in the #MenstrualMovement coalition. #MenstrualEquality

[ACLU of South Carolina @ACLU_SC]

BREAKING: We announced a settlement today that requires the cities of Beaufort & Bluffton to provide defense counsel for people without the means to hire an attorney. This victory is a critical step toward dismantling wealth-based "justice" systems in SC.

Here’s exactly what’s happening today:

The Supreme Court is being asked to make it legal to fire someone because we’re LGBTQ.

We're representing Aimee Stephens, Don Zarda — and anyone who's ever been told you're not the right "kind" of man or woman.

#RiseUpOct8 Here at Midlands People Power-we work towards creating equality for all identities. Look in our bio to find ways you can be involved with the first youth chapter in Columbia, SC.

[ACLU @ACLU]

When Aimee Stephens told her boss she is trans, she was fired. We’re going to the Supreme Court to ensure this doesn’t happen to anyone else. LGBTQ people belong — including at work. #yesimLGBTQ

[ACLU @ACLU]

One out of every three Black boys born today can expect to go to prison in his lifetime.

The criminal legal system is built on the criminalization of Black life — from “misbehaving” in school, to shopping while Black, to oversleeping. https://t.co/CXKMwvSGVv

BREAKING: We just blocked Georgia's abortion ban.

Abortion is still legal in all 50 states.

We won't stop fighting until all efforts to block access are defeated.
