BREAKING: Ted Cruz is humiliated at a Senate hearing after he tries to trap a Black law professor with a gotcha question, asking her "Which state’s voter I.D. laws are racist?" to which Professor Franita Tolson quickly replied, “Your state of Texas!” RT IF YOU STAND WITH FRANITA!
@POTUS In the ���50s, ’60s & ‘70s, many corporations paid half of their profits to the government.
The money helped pay for the military, investments in roads, bridges, schools, & scientific research.
50 years of tax cuts failed to trickle-down.
TAX THE RICH.
REVERSE WEALTH INEQUALITY.
If you make less than $400,000 per year, I’ll never raise your taxes one penny.
But if you’re at the very top, it’s time to pay your fair share.
We need to reward work in this country — not just wealth.
If you live in CA and feel despondent over what happened with SCOTUS tonight, call or text 5 friends and make sure they have already voted NO on the Republican recall, and if not, help them make their voting plan.
What really irks me is men can spread their sperm around haphazardly and not be responsible, and if it happens to fertilize an egg it becomes the woman's problem, but men can still dictate to her what she can or can't do about it.
Last night, the Supreme Court’s decision on Texas’ SB8 dealt a significant blow to Roe v. Wade.
We will not stand by and allow our nation to go back to the days of back-alley abortions. We will use every lever to defend the right to safe and legal abortion. We will fight this.
I know many are feeling exhausted and defeated right now; but as a fellow activist reminded me yesterday - WE are the cavalry. No one is coming to save us.
To continue to call for bipartisanship in this moment is to laugh in the face of the person who can’t get the abortion care they need. Whose home got destroyed by a wildfire. Who got evicted. Who can no longer vote.
We’re in an emergency. The Senate needs to act like it.
