Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Greta Gerwig: Made a critically acclaimed, culturally profound, feminist movie about Barbie and the patriarchy that made a billion dollars at the box office.

Oscar nomination goes to … Ken.

Boy math is needing 15 attempts to count the votes correctly to become Speaker and then shutting down the government 9 months later

“But she IS dead…(laughter)…she was a regular person. Just write ‘em a check. $11,000. She was 26 anyway. She had limited value.”

You can’t reform this.

Meanwhile in Florida, a woman, unable to get an abortion due to DeSantis’ deadly anti-abortion laws had to carry to term a baby that was found to have no kidneys at 24 weeks.

I’ll say that part again, no kidneys and was forced to carry the baby for an additional 13 weeks until she gave birth.

Deborah Dorbert’s son Milo died in her arms on March 3, shortly after birth just like the doctors said would happen.

Forced to carry, knowing there was no chance of survival. Then watching a baby gasp for air and die.

What part of that scenario is pro-life? The walking around for 13 weeks knowing your baby is going to die? Oh wait, is it the part where the baby took one breath and died?

DeSantis chases woke while real-life consequences are happening “death on delivery.”

That’s not governing it’s torture. #FreshResists #FreshVotesBlue

$760 billion in PPP loans were forgiven.

That’s $360 billion more than this Administration’s student debt relief program.

And, several Republican members of Congress who opposed student debt relief benefited from those PPP loans.

Trust women. Trust them to make decisions about their own body, health care, and future.

I used to think academia was my calling -- the thing that I was meant to do. But I am increasingly thinking that my calling is going to the beach and I am meant to relax and enjoy a fruity little beverage in the sunshine.

In light of Shiny Happy People, how’s everyone in Arkansas feeling about public funds going to homeschool and private religious schools now thanks to LEARNS?

Anyone who didn’t see a problem before NOW see how it can be problematic???

Saying you want to "stay away from politics" after a mass shooting IS political.

If you are in Medical school or planning on going to Medical school

And you would not provide medical care because someone is gay or trans or whatever

Go into finance

Or anything else

Medicine is not for you

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

BREAKING: The gun used in yesterday’s Louisville bank shooting was an AR-15-style rifle, federal law enforcement says.

The SAME gun more than 30 law enforcement officers were AFRAID to confront in Uvalde that left 19 children dead.

The SAME gun that’s been
the weapon of choice in many of the most horrific mass shootings in recent memory, including the Covenant school shooting in Nashville just two weeks ago.

The SAME gun brandished by Republican radicals like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert.

The SAME gun worn as a pin on the lapels of disgusting GOP lawmakers.

This is what we need to scream everywhere:

If 30 armed officers wearing full tactical gear with ballistic shields are too afraid to confront a single gunman with an AR-15, they SHOULD NOT be in the hands of civilians.

We have the answer. It’s the guns.

BAN ASSAULT RIFLES NOW.

If you thought Arkansas’ GOP legislators had reached rock bottom, they’re not there yet.

cw: pregnancy loss

I live in Alabama, a state with a total abortion ban, and was so overjoyed when I found out I was pregnant last month. I’ve been doing everything right. Stopped caffeine, took my prenatal vitamins, followed every rec. But I started bleeding on Tuesday.🧵
