A message to the US Senate: America is watching. Patel, Gabbard, and RFK are more than just unfit. They are a danger to our country, and to our people's safety. Use your vote to protect the people you represent. History will remember your choice.

This crash happened on Trump’s watch. After he deliberately threw the FAA into chaos by leaving the agency leaderless, firing the safety board, and bullying its employees to quit. The reason he’s casting blame everywhere else is that he knows what he did.

Mediocre, unqualified Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth blames DEI for the crash—because they want the most qualified. As if we have pilots and air traffic controllers without degrees. Or training.
How does anyone take this man seriously? For anything!

I love spending time with my grandkids & great grandkids.
What I don’t love is politicians offering women up as uncompensated laborers instead of establishing proper childcare & paid family leave policies.
Sorry JD, I can’t babysit, I’m busy at my Black job as a Congresswoman.
NEW VANCE AUDIO: In an interview from 2020, JD Vance agrees with a podcast host who says having grandmothers help raise children is “the whole purpose of the postmenopausal female.”
He also agrees when the host says grandparents helping raise children is a "weird, unadvertised feature of marrying an Indian woman."

** PLEASE READ ** Who is interested in having an organizing call for Post Menopausal Women for Harris? I'm dead serious. There 75 million of us. We could raise an absurd amount of $$$! I do a great deal of GOTV work, so I can organize some of it. Need a celebrity, please retweet!

I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it a thousand times more: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. — Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

infuriating to see men suggesting that the purpose of older women is to assist in raising children when their true purpose is to solve crimes.

Kamala Harris is the embodiment of the American dream, rising through the ranks through hard work and perseverance.
Trump is the embodiment of late stage capitalism, treading water & feeling entitled due to his father's wealth while using bankruptcy policy as a safety net.

Undocumented immigrants paid $97B in taxes in 2022.
They paid a higher state/local tax rate than the top 1% in a majority of states.
They contributed $26B to Social Security, which they can't benefit from.
Remember this the next time the undocumented are called "freeloaders."

Considering how closely linked caregiving is to economic policy, care policy should be a central issue in all our politics. statnews.com/2024/08/01/kama…

Sadly Philosopher Football did not make the cut for #PARIS2024 Olympic events.

Trump pulls that shit today & wonders why there is so much excitement for Kamala. Take it from a white, gen X, suburban mom, we are SO DONE with misogynistic assholes who talk down to us & speak over us. Women are over the disrespect and toxic masculinity #WeAreNotGoingBack
