A man first elected in the 1950s is blocking equal pay protections for women in 2022. His name? @ChuckGrassley.

Americans are tired of changing their clocks twice a year. When winter comes, nobody wants to be sitting in the dark. Let’s make Daylight Savings Time permanent and free ourselves from this outdated ritual.

Wednesday! Sometimes people say: "I need to find myself". But we don't find ourselves. We create ourselves. Decide who/how you want to be, make a list of actions consistent with that, and then start doing those things. Create the you that you want to be. You ready? Let's go!!

DISGUSTING: Former Rep. Gabby Giffords was shot and and seriously wounded 10 years ago. Her husband’s Republican US Senate opponent, @jim_lamon, just put out an ad in which he shoots Mark Kelly and other Democrat leaders. #AzSen

It says a lot that’s not good about American politics and society that $7.5 trillion for a decade on defense gets almost no debate while less than half of that investing in people and saving the planet is so hard to pass

In 2019, police in Colorado began shouting demands at Brady Mistic, who is deaf and can't read lips. They threw him on the ground and stunned him, claiming he resisted arrest. He ended up spending 4 months in jail. Now, he's filing a federal lawsuit. n.pr/2Y2IIKt
