Intentional or coincidence that a bill restricting book choices & allowing school librarians to be charged with a crime over "offensive" materials was introduced the day before Nat'l School Library Month starts? Censorship gone wild! #nced #ncpublicschools #ncpol

NC GOP bill would allow school librarians to be charged over books ‘harmful to minors’
Legislation would create new rules for public school library books, including removing the exemption that kept school employees from being prosecuted.

Cory Booker has held the Senate floor for 17 hours and 21 minutes.
The record of 24 hours and 18 minutes is held by segregationist Strom Thurmond, who spent that time protesting the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
I am pretty sure Booker would not mind changing that history.

The Trump admin withholding Title X funds further strips health care from people across this country. We know what happens when Title X funding is taken away: cancer goes undetected, birth control access is severely reduced, and the STI crisis worsens. People will suffer.

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies.
In Denmark:
- Health care and college are free.
- The starting wage is $22/hr.
- Paid parental leave is 1 year.
- Paid vacation is 6 weeks.
- All workers get pensions.

Musk and Trump are trying to dismantle the VA by laying off 83,000 employees.
They are sacrificing the needs of our veterans to give tax breaks to billionaires.
That is something that the American people — Republicans, Democrats, and Independents — will never support.

They are like raptors testing the fences. Arkansas as GOP @Gov Sarah Huckabee aka Huckabeast started this “trend” to support the chicken processing oligarchs of Perdue and Tyson.
What next, the workhouse? Children up chimneys sweeping? Sweatshops? Indentured servitude? Child labor should be left in the past of Dickens novels. Children all deserve a childhood. Rich kids will never have to endure this, but kids in poverty? #DemVoice1

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.
Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Unique to America, our health care system is designed not to make people well, but to make CEOs & wealthy stockholders incredibly rich. The result: We have the highest infant mortality rate of any wealthy country on earth. How cruel, how immoral is that? We need Medicare for All.

Medicare for All isn't radical.
What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost.
Please don't tell me we can't do the same.
