A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.
And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

I’ve got a lot of problems w/what RFK Jr says here—but worst is his description of people on the autism spectrum as unable to contribute.
This is the Trump admin’s war on diversity: if you’re not their version of “perfect,” you’re not worthy.
Thanks to Holly Robinson Pete, for setting it straight.
