Stunned that @Scholastic Book Fairs is self-censoring the books in its “Share Every Story, Celebrate Every Voice,” which are predominantly by queer, disabled, & Black & brown authors. This is not sharing our stories--it's treating them as separate but equal.

At first I was a tree, now I’m petrified. Thinking all my wooden rings had turned to stone inside. I will survive...I will survive! 🎶 🎤

Because thoughts and prayers are not enough.

@VP and I just created the first White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention.

Today we cannot celebrate Women’s Equality Day because we are far from equal in our democracy.

Let Congress know that you support women’s right to vote, equality in our Constitution, and reproductive freedom for all. Sign LWV’s petition ➡️ https://t.co/ifF89aTIDx #WID23

📢 What do we want?
👥Voting rights, the ERA, and reproductive freedoms!
📢When do we want them?
👥NOW! #WID23
Let Congress know: https://t.co/ifF89aTIDx

[League of Women Voters of the US @LWV]

Raising women’s voices through public office and the power of the vote is essential to both our reproductive rights and our democracy as a whole.

@LakotaMan1 Not a bot.

[League of Women Voters of the US @LWV]

The freedom to vote is at the root of all other freedoms. Since the Shelby v. Holder SCOTUS decision, we have seen an influx of attacks on our freedom to vote in states across the country. Congress must work across the aisle in support of voting rights. #ProtectMyFreedomToVote

@LakotaMan1 No.
