LGBTQI+ rights are human rights.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Happy Pride, America.

This month, in the face of cruel attacks on LGBTQI+ rights across the country, we celebrate the LGBTQI+ Americans who are fiercely and unapologetically fighting for freedom and equality – and reaffirm that their rights are human rights.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Happy Pride!

Pride Month has always been a joy-filled celebration. While we celebrate how far we’ve come, we must continue standing in solidarity with LGBTQ+ Americans in their ongoing struggle against discrimination and injustice.

[Nancy Pelosi @TeamPelosi]

Make a plan to vote for @JennMcClellanVA this Tuesday February 21st, #VA04 voters!

No Black woman has ever represented Virginia in Congress — let’s change that!

I need YOU and every voter you know to turn out on Tuesday, break that glass ceiling and send Jenn to Washington! -NP

[NFDW Southern Region @NFDWSouth]

This account has been quiet for a bit, but it's election day tomorrow. Your vote is so very important. If you haven't already voted, please, make your plan to vote tomorrow. Stay in line until you're done.

Your voice matters. Make it heard.

For statewide elected executive races, women are just 13 of 59 major party candidates, with Democratic women candidates being just over a third of all candidates, while the GOP lags the Democrats in fielding women candidates in these races.

Meanwhile, in statewide elected executive office this year, women are competing in every race in the state for 2022.

How are the parties doing this year in U.S. House candidacies?

Women are not quite a third of all House candidates this year. Democrats in Texas got enticingly close to parity in candidacies, while more than one-fifth of GOP House candidates are women.

The 2022 midterms officially begin TODAY with primary elections underway in Texas!

Here's a sampling of CAWP data for women candidates in Texas to put today's contests into context.

First, women in Texas set a *new record* for U.S. House candidates in 2022!

I’m proud to announce that I am nominating Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve on the Supreme Court. Currently serving on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, she is one of our nation’s brightest legal minds and will be an exceptional Justice.

Congratulations to the @SCDWC on hosting an excellent Southern Regional Conference. Thank you for all your hard work!

[Democrats @TheDemocrats]

Grateful for a president who is committed to upholding our democracy.

[NFDW Southern Region @NFDWSouth]

Important explainer...

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

NEW: Republicans are now carrying out a legislative coup by rigging a decade of elections.

They have gerrymandered unbreakable majorities in Texas, Georgia, Ohio, North Carolina and several other states.

Experts say Democrats are nearly out of time to stop them.

[NFDW Southern Region @NFDWSouth]

Thank you, Sarah Weddington.

[TX Democratic Women @TXDemWomen]

Sarah Weddington, who argued #RoeVWade in front of the #USSC, and won rights for women in Texas and across the nation, passed away this morning in Austin at age 76. With abortion rights again under attack we must again take up the fight. #RestInPower #txlege

[Emerge @EmergeAmerica]

Democratic women need to be ELECTED and APPOINTED to every decision-making space.

Let’s make it a reality in 2022.

[Democrats @TheDemocrats]

The Build Back Better Act will create jobs, cut taxes, fight climate change, lower costs for working families, and much more.

With its passage in the House, we’re one step closer to it officially becoming law.

[NFDW Southern Region @NFDWSouth]

Let's do this!

[Emerge @EmergeAmerica]

All-women spaces can be created, even in the South.

With time and investment, we could make this a reality in every community.

#NeverForget

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

We never forget.

We never forget the children who have grown up without parents. Parents who have suffered without children. Husbands and wives who had to find a way forward without their partners. Brothers, sisters, loved ones.

Jill and I hold you close in our hearts.
