I wonder what @DollyParton would have spent $43 billion dollars on.

The tweet I needed today. I’m not here much, but I swear these types of message pop up when I need them.

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

I’m not going anywhere. Should this place become more toxic, I pledge to strive even harder to lift up reason, science, compassion and the rule of law. The struggle against fascism, misinformation, and hate requires tough fighters. I hope you stay in the fight, right beside me.

[Jess Piper @EnglishTeach07]

Charter schools and private schools aren’t required to admit every child. They aren’t required to have a SpEd program or make accommodations. Public schools are required to accept every child and meet their needs…defunding public schools threatens the most vulnerable kids.

[Ben Phillips @benphillips76]

We used to “correct” kids who were left-handed - through violence, shame or “guidance” on how to be right handed. And so there seemed to be very few left handers. Then we stopped, & with no shaming there was a seemingly rapid rise. Then a plateau. This is a tweet about trans kids

[Ben Crump @AttorneyCrump]

BREAKING: Criminal charges will NOT be filed against the officer who shot and killed Amir Locke, a 22yo who was sleeping on a couch, during a botched no-knock warrant execution. Another example of why no-knock warrants MUST be banned!

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

We cannot ignore the fact that if Brittney Griner wasn’t a Black woman, it would be plastered across the news that she is being held as a political prisoner in Russia.

Free Brittney Griner.

[Jocelyn Benson @JocelynBenson]

So wait, the Senate can establish a permanent Daylight Savings time in reaction to losing an hour of sleep this past Sunday, but can’t establish a baseline of voting protections in reaction to a multi year assault on democracy?

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

Keep saying her name.

Justice is building a world where Breonna Taylor would still be alive today.

[Human Rights Campaign Rapid Response @HRC]

Trans kids – you are loved, you are valued and you are perfect as you are. We’ll never stop fighting for your rights.

[John Pavlovitz @johnpavlovitz]

I care more about human lives than cheap gas.

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

To our trans family: Know that you are loved. Know that you are beautiful. Know that you are not alone.

We have your back.

[Lainey Severson @lainerlys]

Late to the game, but @guskenworthy on #AllStats4 of @RuPaulsDragRace might be my favorite “crossover.”

[Jena Griswold @JenaGriswold]

RT if you believe every eligible voter should have access to mail ballots, early voting, and same day voter registration.

Starbucks has always pretended to be the best corporation, but as a former employee, I can tell you there is a LOT of shady practices going on there.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Starbucks is raising prices after reporting a 31% increase in profits. The company’s revenue increased by almost 20% to over $8,000,000,000. Their CEO’s pay increased by almost 40% last year to more than $20,000,000.

Do not be fooled. This is about corporate greed. It always is.

[Lainey Severson @lainerlys]

….. so… the same police responsible for murdering Black folx and targeting peaceful protestors? No thanks.

[Governor Jared Polis @GovofCO]

Today I’m standing with a strong coalition to announce our plan to make Colorado communities safer, and put us on the path to becoming one of the 10 safest states in the next five years. https://t.co/EUqAOj3foS

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

Happy Black History Month.

It’s time for reparations. Now.

[Lainey Severson @lainerlys]

I can’t believe this is still real. My heart is shattered for Cheslie and her loved ones. May her light and spirit be remembered for years to come as strong, dedicated, brilliant, and passionate.

[Miss America @MissAmerica]

We are heartbroken to hear about the passing of Cheslie Kryst, Miss USA 2019. Cheslie was an incredible example and a role model for so many. We send our deepest condolences to her family, friends, and all those who knew her.

[Congresswoman Cori Bush (Archived) @RepCori]

Tonight will be remembered in history as the night that Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema, and Senate Republicans chose the racist legacy of Jim Crow over delivering voting rights.

[Mary L Trump @MaryLTrump]

Holy shit:

Mitch McConnell: "African-American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as American voters."

Toni Morrison: "In this country, American means white. Everybody else has to hyphenate."
