Carlee Russell (25) went missing from Hoover, Alabama on Thursday night. 911 received a call from her stating there was a toddler on the side of the interstate. Unfortunately she vanished before the police arrived to help and no toddler was found. All of Carlee’s belongings were left behind. Her family is afraid she might have been abducted. The reward is now up to $50,000. 🚨 #MissingPerson
You can't understand 1776 if you don't understand 1619. July 4, 1776 when the colonists declared independence, 1/5 of the population of the 13 colonies was enslaved. They would not gain freedom for a century. This, too, is the 4th of July. This, too, is the story of America.
GOP Supreme Court Justices have ruled forced births and “straight-only” businesses are legit, and policies leading to racial and economic equity are not legit. Sexism—homophobia—racism—classism are connected. Their defenders are in solidarity. Their opponents, we, must be too.
I don't know what to tell you guys. We have to expand the Court. If we don't expand the Court, no liberal policy will be allowed to exist for the rest of our lives. That's why Republicans stole the court, that's why rich people pay for justices.
Govern yourselves accordingly.
So, let me get this straight: yesterday the Supreme Court ruled colleges CAN’T discriminate on the basis of race but today they ruled that a web designer CAN discriminate against the LGBTQ+ community? Sorry, but this Court is so freaking messed up.
I’ll just point out that Donald Trump is also welcome to plead guilty to his tax crimes and look for a reduced sentence, and that if he had just given what he stole back he wouldn’t be charged with espionage.
ICWA decision summarized:
Barrett: No, no, no... can Texas even read? Also no.
Gorsuch: [Plays theme song to Last of the Mohicans] "God gave him enough, and yet he wants all. Such are the pale-faces."
Thomas: STATE'S RIGHTS!!!
It’s been 7 years since a gunman opened fire in Pulse nightclub and killed 49 innocent people and injured 53 others.
The fact that a gay nightclub was targeted during pride month cannot be ignored.
We remember those killed and injured at Pulse and fight for them every day.
THREAD: The decision to prohibit flying the Pride flag during #PrideMonth sends the wrong message to our #LBGTQ community and the values of most Orange County residents.
Join me, fellow parents of victims, and survivors June 6-12 at the Capitol in Washington D.C. as we sit in. We will be calling on members of Congress to push for an assault weapons ban.
I am overwhelmed - and grateful beyond words - for the work that’s been done by @MomsDemand volunteers to make this #WearOrange Weekend the most successful we’ve had. I am FULL of hope and pride and I urge you all to join us in the fight to #EndGunViolence. Text READY to 644-33.
This weekend I #WearOrange 🟧 at the OC @MomsDemand blood drive. Victims of gun violence need more blood than a typical patient needing blood. Super grateful my iron was good today and I was able to donate! #keepgoing#EndGunViolence
My son is 15
I never bought him a pride onesie when he was a baby.
I never read him a book that had two moms as part of the storyline.
When he was little stores and businesses didn’t have LGBTQ+ displays and we didn’t celebrate pride month.
He was raised Catholic, and went to church.
Guess what? He is gay.
The rainbow won’t make your kids gay. They are born that way. A display in a store won’t make your kid trans, they are born that way.
If you don’t love and accept them for who they are, YOU are a shitty parent.
They haven’t failed, you have.
@piper4missouri I listened to a podcast done by a journalist who had a fear of flying, I believe she spoke with a hypnotist, it was very interesting but I can’t remember the name! Try searching fear of flying in a podcast app. Also consider seeing a hypnotist yourself, my mom had good results
Hi Brian Cornell, CEO @Target I understand, as extremists whip their base into an unstable frenzy, your first instinct is to protect your employees safety. We’ve all had to adapt in the face of emboldened bigotry.
But your actions are actually increasing the danger. Truly…
My heart breaks for the one year mark tomorrow, these families should not be going through. Their babies should be here. Thinking of the Robb community and especially the parents. They deserve better than this.
@Theholisticpsyc This is very interesting- I have a child with low frustration tolerance. I’ve been trying to do things right, better than my parents, and I still missed their needs at some point. Im not quite sure where to go from here
