The teacher shortage is so bad hat some districts in Texas are cutting back to 4 day weeks, Florida is asking veterans with no teaching experience to get in the classroom, and Arizona is now having college kids teach classes. Where's the outcry about the defunding of education?

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

Keep demanding more from our politicians. They’re paid $174,000 taxpayer dollars a year and have free healthcare.

[Bill Pascrell, Jr. 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @BillPascrell]

We just voted to keep birth control legal in America and 96% of republicans voted no. 96%!

[Public Citizen @Public_Citizen]

Are you kidding me?!

Congress is complaining they haven’t seen a pay raise since 2009.

They make $174,000/yr.

The people’s minimum wage since 2009: $7.25/hr

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

CEOs of S&P 500 companies made $18.3 million on average last year — an 18.3% increase.

That’s 324x the pay of their median worker whose real wages fell 2.4% in 2021.

Wealthy corporate execs are getting richer while workers’ wages barely keep up with inflation.

17 House Democrats were arrested today for peacefully protesting the Roe v. Wade decision.

0 Republican members of the House or Senate have been arrested for their direct roles in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol after 18 months.

In Ohio, a 10-year-old rape victim had to travel to Indiana to access abortion care.

In Wisconsin, a woman bled for more than 10 days from an incomplete miscarriage after emergency room staff would not remove the fetal tissue.

This cannot go on until November.

[Liam Martin @LiamFromBoston]

This woman in Texas had started to miscarry, but her doctors couldn’t perform an immediate abortion because the fetus still had a heartbeat. She lost liters of blood and had to be put on a breathing machine as a result: AP.

[Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke]

Remember Abbott’s grid failure that left millions without power and caused hundreds of our fellow Texans to lose their lives?

After that crisis, Abbott took millions in campaign checks from energy CEOs that he allowed to profit off it.

Helps explain why he won’t fix the grid.

This is why they never codified R vs W. https://t.co/zpoEpNzVyW

Reminder: inflation isn’t being driven by government spending. It’s being driven by a handful of giant corporations who are jacking up prices and raking in record profits.

[Lindy Li @lindyli]

Republican Ohio just told a 10-yr-old rape victim that she couldn’t get an abortion and that her rape was an “opportunity”

This is Christianity gone berserk

Cruel, vicious and abusive

If your God makes you do shit like this, you are one demented ghoul

[Junaid For Congress (IL-08) @JunaidForUs]

For every 100,000 births, 23.8 people die from pregnancy or childbirth in the U.S., with Black Americans and other people of color seeing disproportionately higher rates.

Banning abortion will lead to more death nationwide. It is not a “Pro-Life” policy, it’s pro-control.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Rent prices have increased over 25% nationally in the last year and it’s even worse in many cities:

Austin, TX (+121.2%)
Long Beach, CA (+62.0%)
Tacoma, WA (+49.8%)
New York, NY (+45.8%)
Lexington, KY (+41.6%)

Meanwhile average hourly earnings have only increased 5.24%.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Conservatives don't care about "life."

They care about control.

“Could have been worse.”

A real quote from Governor Greg Abbott the day after 19 children were slaughtered in an elementary school.

Look at how fast the Senate can move when it wants to
