Fun fact: Every government shutdown in the last 30 years occurred when Republicans had control of the House of Representatives.
Last time it happened, it drove people to food pantries and forced an $8b hit to the economy. They treat people missing paychecks like it’s no big deal
Honored and proud to be endorsed by Worcester Working Families for a 2nd term on the School Committee! Bringing fresh perspective as a young alum & public health pro. 🌟 #WorcesterSchools
We need local leaders who will center equity and bring marginalized voices to the conversation. Today we’re proud to endorse these candidates who have been vocal and unapologetic advocates for reproductive freedom and for removing barriers to essential health care in Worcester.
Absolutely sick behavior from @votejoserivera campaign surrogates Wayne Griffin and Anthony Petrone (a city employee). Harassment of a minor as a campaign tactic. I mean what the fuck. What the FUCK. I won’t be party to sharing the name but we can’t let this slide
JUST IN: A federal judge has just ORDERED Llano County Texas to return "all books" that were removed from their libraries due to their content or viewpoint.
Library patrons successfully argued that "content-based restrictions" were likely unconstitutional.
The Texas judge is also prohibiting the officials from removing any more books while a lawsuit remains pending.
The books that were banned included a book for teens that calls the Ku Klux Klan a terrorist group, Isabel Wilkerson’s “Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents” and a comedic children’s book with three stories from Dawn McMillan’s “I Need a New Butt!” series.
The decision could set wide reaching precedent in light of recent book banning in Florida, supported by Ron DeSantis.
What a great victory for books! 💙

23-year-old Iranian protestor Majidreza Rahnavard's dying wishes--before being hanged--reflect the living wishes of so many young Iranians living under theocratic tyranny.
"Don't cry, don't read the Koran, don't pray"
"Be joyful. Play happy music"
This is the real news in Iran;
Amusement centre in Tehran was closed yesterday after this photo of its employee without hijab went viral on social media.
Tehran’s prosecution has opened a case against her.
Morality police hasn’t been abolished. It was an absolute lie.

If you think Twitter deciding not to post a Presidential candidate’s adult son’s dick pics was the most ‘brazen attack on our democracy’ wait until I tell you about the time trump plotted a coup & incited an attack on our Capitol in order to install himself in the office he lost.
