From a friend…
If anyone wonders why you or I are liberal Democrats show them this post.
Women: "Can I have birth control?"
Republican Controlled Congress: "No."
Women: "I couldn't get birth control so I got pregnant.
Can I have an abortion?"
Republican Controlled Congress: "No."
Women: "You prevented me from having an abortion so I'm carrying the fetus, but my employer won't provide reasonable accommodations and is threatening to fire me.
Would you please pass the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act?"
Republican Controlled Congress: "No"
Women: "I had the baby, but I'm out of work.
Can I have WIC and food stamps until I get back on my feet?"
Republican Controlled Congress: "No."
Women: "I found a job, but it doesn't offer me insurance.
Can I have government guaranteed insurance?"
Republican Controlled Congress: "No."
Women: "My kid got sick and I got fired because I missed time caring for him/her.
Can I get unemployment?"
Republican Controlled Congress: "No."
Women: "I'm having a hard time getting my kid from school consistently.
Can we fund after-school programs?"
Republican Controlled Congress: "No."
Women: "I'm prepared to work to support my family.
Can you make sure that a full-time job's minimum wage is enough to do that?"
Republican Controlled Congress: "No.
But what's the matter with you and your family, that working two jobs can't lift you out of poverty?
And what kind of a mother are you, letting someone else watch your child while you work?
If your child doesn't do well in school or gets in trouble, it's entirely your fault.
You shouldn't have had a child if you weren't prepared to take care of him/her."

Had a great time at the intra squad game last night and at the red October rally at city hall today. how cool it would have been to have the beads and rally towels at the rally handed out at the scrimmage. Not complaining just a suggestion for next year @Phillies
This is Craig Erwich, the President of ABC Entertainment. He has the power to put Jimmy Kimmel back on air.
RETWEET to demand @ABC reinstate Jimmy Kimmel!
This is utter bullshit @abcnews. You’re the free press. You don’t do what the authoritarian in the White House tells you to do. Thank you @TerryMoran for having the courage to speak the truth.
Even the LAPD is saying the protests are peaceful and managed (I.e. it is not an uncontrolled insurrection requiring the National Guard)
Do you know how fucking out of line you have to be, to be so authoritarian that the LAPD is siding with the protestors?!
