Now we know the real reason why Republicans incite epic meltdowns and moral panics around the notion of respecting trans women, or acknowledging the fact that non-binary and trans people menstruate: because it threatens the GOP’s own definition of a woman as “weak, male property”
@GloriaSteinem Bless you! It is a sad sad time here in Texas. Thank god my daughter and granddaughters live in California. I was going to leave her house to them in my will so they would always have a place to live. Now I hope they sell it to move to a place that is not moving back in time.
Now that Democrats have power, we have to be bold in a way we have not seen since FDR in the 1930s.
The first order of business: A new COVID relief bill with $2,000 payments for every working class adult.
Tomorrow progressives will say “Look at all the power we have & all the wonderful things we can do for people now!” Then corporatist Dems will whine “Yeah but we didn’t get a mandate & there’s another election in 2 years so we better be really careful & go slow.” Do not let them!
While today’s terrible display of terror and meanness shakes us, let’s remember: @ossoff, Jewish son of an immigrant & @ReverendWarnock, first Black Senator from Georgia, will join a Catholic POTUS & the first woman, Black + Indian VP in our nation’s capital. God bless America.
It’s time for a new statues in the state of Georgia. start with Stacey Abrams, Latosha Brown, a little splash of white male decency, Raffensberger, and all of Georgia’s voting heroes. This is a beautiful day in the history of America and just what we needed to come out of 2020.

People need direct cash relief in order to survive the pandemic, but our govt gives huge corporations a gift instead. Govt “of the people, by the people & for the people” is now govt “of the corporations, by the corporations and for the corporations.” Vote out the insanity Nov 3.
