Thank you @JennaBushHager for making this point today - if we really want to keep our children safe, we need to spend less time banning books and more time stopping the horrific gun violence in our schools.
Truly being pro-life means supporting what it takes to have a child in the first place—from pregnancy, to birth and beyond:
—Maternal healthcare
—Affordable child care
—Paid family leave
—Universal pre-K
—Expanded Child Tax Credits
Otherwise, you’re just pro-forced birth.
This makes my blood boil. Thanks to rising interest rates and supply-chain shortages, the average person spends $1000/month to own a car. This obsession with portraying an e-bike that is a legit car replacement as a classist toy is bad-faith bullshit.

Extremist legislators in South Carolina have proposed the death penalty for women who get abortions and Florida is proposing a six-week ban. These attacks on women’s rights are a terrifying reminder that elections matter. From the White House to the State House, we have to vote.

This is a chart NHTSA should have done a decade ago (done by @FreckleEars . Several popular vehicles have worse visibility than an Abrams tank and are nearly as long. They’re also marketed like weapons. The chart assumes a 6’ driver. The average American woman is 5’4”.
I’m frequently asked why DeSantis goes outside of Florida on immigration issues - I refer everyone to the rare candor of Florida farmer (and staunch Republican) Alfie Oakes, back in ‘16:
12 MILLION NEW JOBS.
Democrats continue to deliver for America's working families and increase opportunity for all workers with the strongest labor market since 1969 — and more than 12 million new jobs since President Biden took office.
And we're not done yet! -NP
FHWA today announced that 70 Tribes will receive approximately $21M for 93 projects that improve road safety on Tribal lands, addressing one of the safety goals laid out in @USDOT’s National Roadway Safety Strategy. https://t.co/WTWKoO26IK #BipartisanInfrastructureLaw
