People died for the benefits that we now have & we have to continue to fight for them because the Russian Republicans want to take them away. We as Americans are at the bottom of the list when they compare us to other countries all because of the Russian Republicans.

What should you do when you’re stopped by the police? DC’s young people break down your rights when interacting with law enforcement.

and I speak no evil;
I carry
no malice
within my breast;
yet quite without
wishing
a man to the Devil
one may be
permitted
to hope for the best.

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it.
I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

She was 9 weeks pregnant. She died. The state of Georgia is making the doctors keep her alive to incubate the baby. She’s been dead for three months. This is REAL. this isn’t about what should or should not be done. This is about having a VOICE. This is about having a CHOICE.

I can partially get why muggles don't understand that carcinomies have to deal with late effects from treatment and fear of recurrence. I just cannot understand how there are still medical professionals who just don't understand this.

An innocent man was “mistakenly” taken and sent to a foreign prison. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 he must be brought home — yet he’s still there.
Every day this administration shows just how vile and lawless it remains.
