Today is the day, 11/11/22, that my daughter’s next book, “Selfish”, is available on Amazon. Search for “Katie May Parks” and you’ll see her book “Selfish” ready for you. Check out Katie’s website https://t.co/1rXfu4UQdq for more info. #author #book #writer #feminist

What a surprise, guy who is supposed to enforce checks and balances thinks checks shouldn’t apply to him.

Too bad!

Corruption and abuse of power must be stopped, no matter the source. In fact, the court should be *most* subject to scrutiny, bc it is unelected & life appointed.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

I have yet to hear a real explanation from any official hesitating to condemn the killing of Jordan Neely about what makes condemning this violence so “complicated.”

Killing is wrong. Killing the poor is wrong. Killing the mentally ill is wrong. Why is that so hard to say?

[Citizens for Ethics @CREWcrew]

There's no question that Donald Trump violated Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

There's no question that he's disqualified from ever holding office again.

And there's no question we're going to do everything in our power to see that that's enforced.

Republicans are accusing the trans community of ‘waging a war’ on women.

Meanwhile:
In the state of Idaho - the Governor signed a bill into law which prevents young women from exercising their constitutional right to travel to get the legal abortion care they need.

In the state of Florida - if a victim of incest or rape is impregnated by her attacker, she has to provide documentation to “prove” her assault in order to become “eligible” for an abortion.

In Texas, women are being forced to risk their own lives before being allowed to have an abortion. In many cases, waiting until they are SEPTIC before a doctor will help them.

In the state of Alabama, a woman who is raped and impregnated by her assailant cannot legally seek an abortion at all, and any doctor who helps her to get one, can be punished with a life sentence in jail.

So yes, there is indeed a war on women.
And Republicans are the ones waging it.

[Jack Hopkins @thejackhopkins]

This is your reminder that the United States of America is under attack. No, the most imminent threat is not from across the ocean. It’s coming from sitting members of congress….and others in the GOP who support the MAGA inspired hate, and undermining of our democracy.

[Brady PAC @Brady_PAC]

America is the country where:

- A Black youth is shot for ringing a doorbell.

- A young woman is killed for turning into the wrong driveway.

The gun industry wants you to believe that everyone is a threat so they can SELL MORE GUNS.

[Jane of the North @JaneotN]

Since 1999, 175 American children have been killed in 377 school shootings.

Since 1975, 8 Canadian children have been killed in 4 high school shootings.

Since 1867, no Canadian child has ever been killed by a mass shooter in an elementary school.

Listen, Teddy. It's the guns.

[Keith Boykin @keithboykin]

Black guy killed by police: “He was no angel. He was arrested for jaywalking when he was 16.”

White guy murders five people: “He was having a rough week.”

[Congresswoman Sara Jacobs @RepSaraJacobs]

A federal assault weapons ban saves lives. Pass it on.

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

How many fucking more is it gonna take????

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

We have a system of checks and balances. That includes checking egregious judicial overreach and abuse of power.

Without a check, democratically-elected lawmaking will be increasingly disposed of and replaced by a partisan judiciary. Folks may not want to face it, but it’s here.

[America Matters Media @usamattersmedia]

In just 4 days, Gen-Z for Biden has gained 24,000 followers. The energy is here to organize young people for Biden, but we need your help. Can you help us reach 30,000 Gen-Z followers by retweeting and following?

[Michael Gerald Gibbs @Mikeggibbs]

Dear Americans:

I've watched every presidential visit to Canada closely.

This was by far the most enjoyable I can ever recall.

Your President is a good man. I believe he means what he says and doesn't spin us. He's a decent human being.

You elected a good one here. Thank you for letting us spend two days with him.

And I hope to God you re-elect him. Age can be a virtue that grants you the wisdom to lead. Some people age like a fine wine who shouldn't retire, because they're at their best.

That is clearly the case with Joe Biden.

[James F. Love IV @JamesFLoveIV]

I just blocked a woman I’ve known for several years, talked with on the phone and on Zoom calls, because she starts talking about “Garland isn’t doing anything and no one is ever going to be held accountable,” and will go on tweet after tweet arguing.
Another person chimed

[Lakota Man @LakotaMan1]

Celebrate with me. Illinois passed a bill that requires teaching Native American history in school.

In a world full of Florida’s — be like Illinois. Agree?

[Lakota Man @LakotaMan1]

If I were white, I’d want my kids to learn about Indian boarding schools and the Native American genocide. Not to make them “woke.” But to help them grow into intelligent, compassionate, well informed adults.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

No matter how hard some people try, we can’t just choose to learn what we want to know, and not what we should know.

We should learn everything.

The good.
The bad.
The truth of who we are as a nation.

And everyone should know the truth of Selma.

[Rachel Bitecofer 🗽🦆 @RachelBitecofer]

Here's a list of other things you were SURE Republicans would never do:
✔️ Nominate Donald Trump for Potus
✔️Refuse to Confirm a Supreme Court Appointment
✔️ Stage a Coup
✔️ Use House Committees to Obstruct Justice

Republicans have no red line. The only question is, do you?
