Proud millennial committed to defending immigrants & voting rights. Living by Lincoln's words: "those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves."
Nobody needs an AR-15 to hunt.
Nobody needs a semi-automatic rifle to defend their home.
But mass shooters NEED these weapons in order to murder as many people as efficiently as possible.
And so nobody will miss them when they are illegal - except for the killers.
Few are better-positioned to curb this administration than Susan Collins.
Her failure to do so--even at this late date--represents a betrayal of the values she's pretended to believe in for 20+ years. #mepolitics
Since this was released on a day no one would notice it... as in a Friday during a holiday weekend..let’s make sure everyone DOES notice it as reported below: “Massive federal climate change report warns of devastating health and economic costs to the U.S.”
A runoff for the Senate seat in Mississippi is happening in just over a week.
Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith has:
• Said she’d attend a ‘public hanging’
• Propagated an anti-Semitic conspiracy
• Wants to restrict voting for students
This should be getting more attention.
With Senator Flake voting no, we have an opportunity to reject Thomas Farr as a federal judge. Why should we care? He is the architect of voting rights suppression in North Carolina. We just need one more vote.
Kemp's actions made this a stolen election. Let's elect a Democratic Secretary of State in the GA runoff, then entice @staceyabrams to run for Senate in '20 against @sendavidperdue

Reminder: During Obama's presidency, Sen. Burr blocked 2 Black women from filling a NC district court vacancy.
Trump then nominated anti-civil rights Thomas Farr to the very same seat.
The district – nearly 30% Black – has NEVER had a Black federal judge.
We need to #StopFarr.
And we reiterate our strong support of @repbarbaralee's candidacy for Democratic caucus chair. She is a forceful and morally clear voice for social justice and for peace and diplomacy, and would bring an important new perspective to congressional leadership.
NEW: Mitch McConnell just filed cloture on NC judicial nominee Thomas Farr, who has ties to white supremacists and has spent his entire career working against civil rights, especially voting rights and workers’ rights.
RT to send a clear message: Thomas Farr MUST be defeated.
People really need to appreciate how undemocratic this campaign to oust @NancyPelosi is.
Because yes, it isn't just sexist and ageist, it's an explicit attempt to overrule the mandate of the election.
We sued a private prison company called CoreCivic for forcing immigrants to run their own detention center for just a dollar a day. That was in Georgia. Now a new labor lawsuit has been filed against CoreCivic in New Mexico.

Don’t like Pelosi, but can’t quite articulate why? Felt the same way about Hillary Clinton? Time for some deep self-reflection about gender bias and leadership.
A new rule from Betsy DeVos would require universities to allow accused sexual abusers to cross-examine and re-traumatize their victims. This is absolutely sickening. https://t.co/CbHgxiH0wh
