Yesterday’s SCOTUS ruling in Mahmoud v. Taylor imposed a nationwide “Don’t Say Gay” effect—letting parents opt kids out of LGBTQ+ lessons and pressuring schools to erase queer voices.

I just used @5calls.org ’s app to call both my senators, my governor, and both state reps to urge them to oppose the radical actions of this new administration.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"
