.@laurenboebert you have played a major role in elevating anti-LGBT+ hate rhetoric and anti-trans lies while spending your time in Congress blocking even the most common sense gun safety laws.

You don’t get to “thoughts and prayers” your way out of this. Look inward and change.

Female students at Isfahan’s University of Medical Sciences wave their headscarves in the air chanting “freedom, freedom, freedom.” A nation mourns 40 days after the death of #MahsaAmini and continues the revolution in Iran. There is no going back!
