This is a phenomenal breakdown of the mess that is the Tennessee legislature.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Tennessee’s Republican-controlled House last week expelled two of its members — both young Black Democrats. What is the story behind the ousting, and what does it tell us about this moment in U.S. politics?

Listen to today's episode of The Daily. https://t.co/P7cMnQntQ2

Happy Arraignment Day

While my heart is full knowing I live in a state that can offer sanctuary to everyone 🏳️‍⚧️ Kai and her family should NOT be forced to leave their home, or face threats, hate and discrimination. We need to do better America

[Teen Vogue @TeenVogue]

For this year’s #TransDayOfVisibility, Teen Vogue and @them asked some friends to share a message of love and solidarity with our young trans followers, and send a rallying cry to the culture at large that we will not stand for the right wing’s political attacks. Hate ends here. Read more here to see how you can help defend trans rights: https://t.co/fnOXgGYauq

🚨Lies You Tell🚨
This is to establish a working group - which the Republicans will have 4 appointed members on - to study long-term effects of harassment toward elected officials.

Weaponization of government isn't limited to ultra-liberal Manhattan, it's right here in CT from @CTDems who just passed an ONLINE CENSORSHIP bill out of committee. 👀 👀 👀

Knocking Doors for Dems #VoteBlue2022

All humanitarian aspects aside - because this is an atrocious dumpster fire - but from a statutory perspective: How can Florida justify allocating any of these funds to shipping 50 humans FROM OUT OF STATE (Texas), when the language clearly states, “out of Florida.” ???

[Giovanni Pinto @pintopress]

These are human beings NOT pawns for your political pissing party

[Houston Chronicle @HoustonChron]

Gov. Greg Abbott doubled down and continued his migrant busing effort Saturday, sending around 50 more mostly Venezuelan migrants to Vice President Kamala Harris' home in Washington, D.C. https://t.co/JHtQNBJafp

@GovRonDeSantis is a human trafficker

Couldn’t agree more, Rick. And if anyone else wants to read your plan to put Social Security and Medicare on the chopping block, they should go to https://t.co/xDudwYX85v.

Thanks for stopping by.

The majority supports reproductive freedom! I hope you’re watching, Republican-stacked SCOTUS.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Abortion rights supporters won a huge victory in Kansas, one of the most conservative U.S. states, with voters rejecting a constitutional amendment that would have let legislators ban or significantly restrict abortion.

Here's a look at what happened. https://t.co/5bBVjOcAOS

A reminder that Republicans don’t care about people they care about $$

These are the Republicans blocking health care for veterans with cancer.

She’s too qualified to even be entertaining his talking points - regardless, she ate him up

[CSPAN @cspan]

Berkeley Law Professor Khiara Bridges: "I want to recognize that your line of questioning is transphobic, and it opens up trans people to violence."

Sen. Josh Hawley: "Wow. Are you saying that I'm opening up people to violence by asking..."

[Giovanni Pinto @pintopress]

How can you see these conservative-stacked SCOTUS rulings and think the answer is Democrat division? It’s time to unite - otherwise this Republican *bs* won’t only be our history, but our future as well.

[Josh Fox @joshfoxfilm]

If anyone wants to know why we were so adamant that @BernieSanders be the Dem nominee in 2016 and 2020, it’s because we were terrified that @JoeBiden, @KamalaHarris and the @DNC would utterly fail to fight for us.

This is exactly what is happening now.

This is what we feared.

[Giovanni Pinto @pintopress]

Mr. Bisbikos -
You will not ban us. You will not erase us. You will not oppress us.

[ACLU of Connecticut @acluct]

Let us be clear: book bans work to erase the history and lived experiences of women, people of color, and LGBTQ people and censor conversations about race, gender, and sexuality that impact young people’s daily lives.
