Bernie Sanders just walked up to the podium after Susan Collins laughed along with Republicans about their bill and he said, "If this bill succeeds... for certain groups of people it would be tripled, their premiums... when you throw 15 million people off Healthcare, 50,000 Americans die unnecessarily... you think that's funny?"
As a woman, I would like to remind anyone that is in the community I have built that I believe that trans women are women full stop and you cannot change my mind.
The protection of trans people and the LGBTQ+ community is a duty I’d encourage everyone in my community to continue to fight for, we must protect the dolls.
It’s been an honour being able to see the variety of facially challenged and intellectually stunted come together below this post to bash a woman for hanging out with other women. I’d be jealous too if I didn’t possess the range
Anyways… time to mute, you can argue amongst yourselves if you’re just that much of a loser or maybe keep scrolling and not waste your life on peoples business that don’t concern you (and also of people you don’t know in real life) x
AOC: “This city was built by the Irish escaping famine, Italians fleeing fascism, Jews escaping the Holocaust, Black Americans fleeing slavery and Jim Crow, Latinos seeking a better life, Native people standing for themselves, Asian Americans coming together in QUEENS, in BROOKLYN, in THE BRONX, in MANHATTAN, in STATEN ISLAND.”
Removing the memorial of the pulse nightclub victims is some of the most heinous work imaginable and I hope shame for this follows desantis to his grave
struggling to shoot campaign videos in the streets because too many constituents keep interrupting to say they voted for him and love him I DREAMED ABOUT TIMES LIKE THIS
A mother of three in TX who has lived in the US for 39 years was detained by ICE. She had applied for legal status under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), and is the primary caregiver for an adult son with special needs. This is what a "mass deportation" policy looks like.
Powerful: Saints star DT Khalen Saunders says he is hosting an LGBTQ-Friendly Youth Football Camp:
“The NFL is very male-dominant and heterosexual dominant, and it feels as though there's not really a space for the LGBTQ community.”
Saunders's brother Kameron is a back-up dancer for Taylor Swift.
Sanders wants football to be accessible for everyone.
California Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Salinas): "there are currently more kids with measles in Texas than there are transgender athletes in the NCAA. That's the epidemic we should all be worried about."
Elizabeth Warren joins in on the 16th hour of Cory Booker’s filibuster: “Social Security is NOT charity. Social Security is a contract that people who work in America pay into and when the time comes that they retire they can count on the payments they are LEGALLY entitled to”
Murphy tells Booker: "What you have done today couldn't be more different than what occurred on this floor in 1957. Strom Thurmond was standing in the way of inevitable progress"
"Today you are standing in the way not of progress but of retreat. You are standing in the way of retreat from the rule of law, to provide care to the most vulnerable"
In 2016 during my filibuster to demand progress on gun safety, @CoryBooker stayed on the floor with me for all 15 hours.
An hour ago he just began his own filibuster to protest Trump’s lawlessness and corruption.
I’m returning the favor. Here on the floor with him all night.
