This Jesus character Mike Pence used to justify being anti-choice sounds like an interesting guy. Let’s see what he has to say about how we should treat immigrants, homeless people, and the powerless.

We want to do a land acknowledgment stating that Orange County, Florida is on Ais, Apalachee, Calusa, Timucua, and Tocobago land. We recognize the genocide of indigenous people in our country and look forward to working toward a better future for our indigenous communities.

Women deserve to have our priorities taken seriously by lawmakers. In November, we are going to demand it.
We are voting for action. For hope. For justice. And when women vote, we win.
Put leaders on notice that #WomenAreVoting. Sign the pledge at bit.ly/3Q5Lcgl

Hi Florida teachers (and former teachers).
This state is having big trouble finding people willing to work in Florida's public schools.
I'm wondering if you could share why you think that is.
What are the top things you think need changing to entice teachers back into classrooms?

Surprised to see Montana stand alone in a sea of red states w/out a trigger law?
It’s bc MT has a right to privacy in its constitution. 50 yrs ago MT League of Women Voters led a successful effort to call for a Constitution Conv & right was enshrined there.
Impt lesson…🧵

As a fertility doctor, I’m scared about what this means for IVF. The definition of life will be defined at the state level and will change the scope of my field in many places.

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it a thousand times: The treatment for an ectopic pregnancy, a septic uterus, or a miscarriage that your body won’t release is abortion. If you can’t get those abortions, you die. You. Die.

Women are being tried for murder
Queer people are being labeled pedophiles and attacked
POC are being systematically targeted by police
It’s not just about legal theory; it’s about the people who will be actively hurt and killed by other people because the law lets them now.

A friendly reminder that the Supreme Court did not even recognize an individual right to own a firearm until 2008 -- and that the opinion, by Scalia, relied on some highly suspect reasoning.

My common ground with 2A activists, a 🧵
1. "Guns don't kill people; people kill people!"
Absolutely! That's why I support running a background on every person buying a gun every time they buy a gun.

Chuck Schumer said he will NOT force a vote on gun control because he doesn't believe Republicans will pass it. That is NOT the point of holding a vote, Chuck. Show voters that Republicans will vote NO less than 24 hours after 19 children were killed. FORCE A VOTE. FORCE IT NOW!

Pediatrician here. I want people to know that death by firearm is not rare in kids. In fact, it has been the #1 cause death in this age group since 2020. In 2020 alone, 4300 children died from firearms. That’s equivalent to one Boeing 747 plane crash every month for 9 months.
