Gov. @SarahHuckabee you seemed confused about how to identify a woman last night. So let me tell you. It is simple, I AM A WOMAN! A beautiful Black woman. Gov. Huckabee Sanders #transgender people are people. #IAMAWOMAN #Trans

Chief Judge Josey-Herring next swore in Judge Leslie Meek, who was joined and celebrated by her loved ones! “So proud of you” they said. #Congratulations

If you're seeking abortion care & are in/from a state that criminalizes abortion, don't create digital evidence that can be used against you.
So NO electronics for research, repro communications, or traveling to care.
If the tech wasn’t available in 1952, it’s unsafe in 2022.

Great decision today by FDA. Lets get rid of products that cause great harm to public health. The tobacco industry can't survive if kids don't smoke @US_FDA @tobaccoFreeKids
In a milestone, FDA proposes ban on menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars wapo.st/3OLzacE

I’ve spent my life fighting for working families. From working for the labor movement, to helping pass a $15 min wage in IL, to serving at OMB in the Biden admin to help pass the American Rescue Plan.
Now, I want to serve Central Illinois in Congress.
Join us. #NikkiforCongress

Unfortunately, we can't verify this audio because of poor quality, but I can confirm that the Speaker believes that saying a mask requirement is "not a decision based on science" is moronic.
PELOSI on the backlash to mask mandates: "That's the purview of the Capitol physician...nothing to say except we honor it."
Q: @GOPLeader McCarthy says it's against the science.
PELOSI: "He's such a moron."

Thank you to our champions. All of them.
We’re ready to continue this fight in Texas. #txlege

Killing #SB29 was one of the few shining moments of the 87th #txlege session. The LGBTQ community came out of this session without a single bill targeting us. It is no coincidence that this happened after just two sessions with the @txlgbtqcaucus standing guard over Texas 💪🏼🌈
“We woke up this morning determined to kill that bill.” - @juliejohnsonTX
Bill targeting transgender student athletes dies in Texas House ahead of midnight deadline. dallasnews.com/news/politics… #txlege

To say this lege session is exhausting wouldn't do the weight of it any justice. Over half the country's legislatures are trying to erase trans folks.
❌Anti-Trans Medical Care Bans
❌Anti-Trans Sports Bans
❌Anti-Trans Bathroom Bills
❌Anti-Trans Business Bathroom Bills, etc...

We are currently tracking 195 anti-LGBTQ bills across the country.
Anti-trans bills have now been introduced in 30 states.
Read that again.
Now keep reading to understand what’s happening in states across the country. Share this thread.

Today, AR Governor Asa Hutchinson vetoed HB 1570, which would have banned health care for trans kids. He'd already signed 3 anti-LGBTQ bills into law.
Here's the thing: The fight isn't over! We have to protect this veto now. – at Wolf Trap, VA

I am so honored that #HigherHeightsForAmerica included me on their Chisholm Legacy List for 2020 as one of the Black women to watch. Congratulations to my other sisters who are being honored. I am proud to be working alongside all of you. #AndreaJenkinsForWard8 #BlackWomenLead

Over the last 3 years it has been my honor to represent and serve my constituents. The work we have accomplished must continue. That is why today, I am proud to announce my campaign seeking re-election to represent the people of Ward 8 and Minneapolis! bit.ly/3qRuTY7

I have faced violent hatred before.
I was not deterred then, and I will not be deterred now.
Tonight, Congress will continue the business of certifying the electoral college votes.

A lot of the coverage of GA's Senate races has focused on the wealthier northern ATL suburbs, but if both Dems win tonight, they'll have the much more African-American southern ATL suburbs to thank. #GASEN

We have an opportunity to really expand our reach in 2020. Your mother, coworker, + friend are our allies, and we are going to turn them out up and down the ticket. @needhamb from @HRC talks about investing in communities at #AVSummit20
