I began a 2016 release today, Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi. Feel deeply for these women who are reading & expressing their thoughts & ideas to each other. Books that go against their beliefs or lifestyle.
Don’t be afraid to learn, grow & speak your mind loudly.

Willing to bet there’s more than the two I’ve heard about so far, who hid or got shot at Brown, going through déjà vu remembering another shooting they experienced in their lives. We have to do better. This is awful. Shameful!!

Zoe Weissman survived the Parkland shooting. Now she’s at Brown, and it happened again.
“Honestly, I'm really angry that this is happening to me all over again, and I'm just in shock.”

Not shocked. Shame on these people!!!!
Sex trafficking on Meta platforms was both difficult to report and widely tolerated. Instagram’s former head of safety testified that when she joined Meta in 2020 she was shocked to learn the company had a “17x” strike policy for accounts that engaged in the “trafficking of humans for sex.”
7 Allegations Against Meta in Newly Unsealed Filings
Court filings allege Meta tolerated sex trafficking, hid harms to teens, and prioritized growth over user safety for years.

Was not on my bingo card. Hope a nice hard working democrat or independent can pick up that seat. I also hope the threats of violence coming her way stop asap. I hate to think she’s resigning out of fear for her life. Since ConOld McTacoTits called her a traitor, the Right has been brutal.

Voting out @gluesenkampperez.house.gov can’t come soon enough! She has disappointed me more than I can overlook at this point. I don’t expect to be in line 100% with a Rep but she’s Retrumplican Talibangical Light at this point. I hope Brent Hennrich is up to the challenge. This is a tough district

We now know that when people are aware of #MGPisGOP's terrible voting record they chose me. I need your support to get this out to the voters.

Save your hard earned dollars! Go shop at a mom and pop shop with good values you align with. Or have a homemade and second hand only holiday season.
These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott.
From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

Had the Retrumplican Senators thought about the members in the House, we might not have seen the vote play out this way. Their greed and self serving attitude was a step too far this time. Haha
The House has voted unanimously to repeal the provisions in the shutdown package which allow GOP Senators to sue the federal government and get as much as $1 million in damages - because the feds looked at their phone records in the Jan. 6 investigation.

@aftynbehn.bsky.social We are rooting for her! Good Luck Tennessee, do us proud and elect her. I’m sure she’ll represent you all well in the 7th district.
Republicans are getting worried about the upcoming special election in #TN07, where @aftynbehn.bsky.social has all of the momentum.

Democrats inject "Epstein files" into special election that's scaring GOP
