BREAKING— It's official. The Department of Justice has sued Gov. Abbott and Texas over their inhumane and unlawful border buoy and razor wire stunt at the southern border.

Three ⁦books of poetry by @rupikaur_ ⁩have been officially banned for the next eight years from the shelves of Brevard Public Schools libraries and classrooms — with no option to appeal. More books are slated for review. #NotAHoax #Florida #BannedBooks floridatoday.com/story/news/202…

58-yo Susan Lorincz has been arrested and charged with manslaughter and other offenses in the Ocala (FL) shooting death of neighbor Ajike Owens, who was shot through a closed door. This is an important step in a NECESSARY journey to justice for AJ.

🚨🚨🚨BOOM: AOC DESTROYS Kevin McCarthy for the holding the national debt hostage and for suggesting Washington needs to “spend less.” “Ok, then undo the yacht and private jet tax breaks the GOP passed for themselves,” AOC retorted. “Why should single moms and veterans have to pay for the GOP’s giveaways to the rich? Especially when you don’t even have the votes of your own caucus?” She added. Let’s get this straight: The Republicans want nothing more than to pretend that the debt ceiling needs to be lifted to accommodate next year's budget. They frame it that way relentlessly, and sad to say, lazy journalists buy into their framing. The debt ceiling needs to be raised to pay for all the spending the Republicans authorized in 2017 when they gave away a substantial chunk of the Treasury to their rich pals. So now the time comes that we need to pay the country's bills incurred in the last several years and now coming due. But we're a little short on cash since we gave rich people more money, so now it's time for disabled and retired citizens to pungle up, and single mothers living close to the bone have to forego SNAP benefits. Because Kevin McCarthy couldn't possibly ask mega billionaires to pay more. The middle class should no longer carry the majority of the tax burden and the tax breaks for the rich. Let them pay their fair share for a change. Now, McCarthy is trying to shift blame to DEMOCRATS. We know who’s FAULT this.

@Jadair @AnonOpsUnited2 @V3ND3TT4MAFIA @TheAmandaGorman Here in the southwest corner of Michigan we have a group called We the Parents. Christofascists are all getting their orders from the same people no matter what they want to call themselves.

Can we just take a moment & thank Stormy Daniels for coming out against Donald Trump and sharing her story? Her courage and bravery has now resulted in a former President of the United States being indicted for his crimes. Stormy Daniels is a hero for democracy & justice.

trump is melting the fuck down on his fake twitter and it’s absolutely fucking glorious to behold. 😂😂

My prayers are with the beautiful children whose lives have been lost, their families & the first responders who are dealing with this tragedy in Nashville!

You wanting to keep YOUR child from reading a book with a gay main character doesn’t mean you get to decide if MY child can. Your desire to keep YOUR child from learning ACCURATE black history doesn’t mean MY child doesn’t get to. And just because YOU’RE offended by Michelangelo‘s work, doesn’t mean MY child shouldn’t see it. Crying “parents rights” doesn’t mean YOU have the right to parent MY kid. Or ANYONE else’s. So cut the shit.

🚨 Alert Alert 🚨

Mike Pence has yet to apologize for making a homophobic attack against Pete Buttigieg for raising his child. This is the same Mike Pence who boasts about how Christian he is and how much he cares about family values. Absolutely disgusting.

The neo-Nazi "Blood Tribe" group did get along well with "White Lives Matter Ohio." "Weimar conditions!" the two groups chanted together outside the drag event. "Weimar solutions!" "Heil Hitler!" yelled the Nazis, as they waved swastika flags.

Sigh. Nazis in Ohio. tiktok.com/t/ZTRsT8cGy/

In Ohio. THIS PAST WEEKEND.

You wanna ‘protect the children’ ? How about do better as a parent and teach your kids acceptance , compassion and respect. That’s all they need to ‘safely’ interact with Queer gender identities. Instead, you are teaching hate, discrimination and judgement. Wake up!

BREAKING: Mike Pence just asked a judge to block a grand jury subpoena for his role on January 6th. Let’s be clear; Mike Pence wouldn’t be doing this unless he’s still scared of Donald Trump and has something to hide. What a scaredy cat.

BREAKING: President Biden in Selma, Alabama just brutally put Republicans in their place, saying: “No matter how hard some people try, we can’t just learn what we want to know… we should learn everything, the good, the bad, the truth of who we are as a nation and everyone should learn the truth of Selma.” This is so true. History allows us to learn from our own mistakes. Without learning the bad, we can’t learn how to fix what went wrong.

BREAKING: California's Governor Gavin Newsom has just announced that his state will NOT do business with Walgreens any longer. This comes after Walgreens refused to sell abortion pills in 20 states where they are still LEGAL. If Republicans want to threaten Walgreens to take peoples' rights away then I am fine with Newsom threatening Walgreens to give people their rights back, especially when those are LEGAL rights. I'm sick of watching Republicans try and dictate what private companies do. It's time that Democrats fight back to counter their fascism. I call or other Governors to do the same.

If MAGA Republicans in Congress get rid of the Affordable Care Act – 100 million people with pre-existing conditions could lose protections. Millions could lose basic services like maternity care. And 40 million could lose coverage altogether.
