I cited actual Kirk quotes where he calls Black women less intelligent, demonizes me for being Muslim, & dehumanizes LGBTQ people—& his supporters are upset at me for “speaking evil of the dead.”
If quoting him is “speaking evil” maybe ask yourself why you followed someone who believed evil things.

The Supreme Court is taking on a case that challenges part of the Voting Rights Act. It ensures voters of color can elect representatives of their choice.
I'm leading a group of AGs to defend this law and protect voting rights for everyone in our country.

Watching a compilation of child free women talking about the hate they get for it, and I’ve heard a lot of this also, but it still blows me how much people hate women who choose themselves.

That's why we made them pay $12 million for financial fraud and resident neglect.

I keep seeing so many posts about releasing the Epstein files.
I can’t imagine being a victim, being brave enough to come forward and share your trauma, only to feel like the only way you’ll be believed by the masses is by a release of papers.
They’ve already told us everything. Believe THEM.
