we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now.

I keep thinking about those congresspeople kneeling in the rotunda wearing kente cloth scarves, very performative. There has been no loud, visible, unified support for Sarah McBride from the democrats. It’s a real disgrace. That is your colleague! They are bullying her in your faces. And silence!

Look, I can understand feeling disappointment that Sarah McBride isn’t pushing back more on Johnson’s bigoted policy.
But if you have more anger for her than you do for Johnson, Mace, the whole GOP, & the 200+ other members of her caucus that could be pushing back harder, you have weird priorities.

A good litmus tear for how informed you are about trans athletes is whether or not you previously knew that no sports governing body has ever produced a study of actual trans bodies to justify banning trans women from sports.

Matt Gaetz is awful.
He has been a MAGA sycophant from the beginning.
He has been under investigation regarding sex-trafficking laws during a trip to the Bahamas with paid escorts, sexual misconduct, illicit drug use & misuse of campaign funds.

The anti-abortion movement is foaming at the mouth to destroy access, armed with a decades old battle plan: ban abortion pills, defund real clinics, fund fake ones, & redefine embryos as people. They don’t need a national ban—just cruelty, a dystopian dream, and zero fucks given. bit.ly/3UXLPOr
