So if you haven’t seen my other socials I was invited to join the NASW committee on LGBTQ+. I accepted. It’s an honor to be serving and see how we can affect real policy.

Been a hot minute but saying hey 👋🏽 to my Bluesky peeps.

Respect them by… getting all up in arms if they’re trans? Respect them by… consistently using them as a threat against civilians? That word… you use it but I don’t think it means what you think it means.

"They are cutting..Medicaid dollars to pay for tax cuts for Elon Musk & billionaires.” “We are cutting money & health care from people & families who are suffering, to pay for tax cuts for the rich. It is a crime happening in front of the American public right now," Rep. AOC #DontMessWithMedicaid

Omaha's result comes weeks after a series of major losses in school board elections for conservatives who championed attacks on trans kids:

Qatar's $400M gift to Trump will COST US TAXPAYERS $1B to outfit and will take years to get the plane ready to fly as Air Force One

This is a scam to leave Trump with a taxpayer funded $1.5B flying fortress when he leaves office while getting something for Qatar now

BRIBE | Emoluments Clause

Right on!

🚨🚨 GOP PLANS TO GUT SNAP—so they can give Oligarch billionaires tax cuts ☠️

Dems are pushing back:

“Folks who paid taxes & played by the rules, expecting that their govt will help them if they fall on hard times.. & you guys want to tell them to all go screw themselves?” — Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass

The party of family values.

Plus they’re floating the idea of paying women to have babies, while cutting off research to keep those babies alive.

A serious list of what the people and our representatives must do in order to fix America going forward- we can't complain if we don't elect candidates who are sincere, on the side of democracy, laws, freedom, and the Constitution.
We know what to do- let's do it together!

No Kings On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...

Thanx for sharing this.
It's all about the cruelty.

Soooo..
Let's do this!👇🏼

June 14th EVERYWHERE!
Find yours and BE THERE!

As a former resident of Massachusetts this makes me incredibly embarrassed of my home state.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have aimed their wrecking ball at public schools and the futures of the 50 million students in rural, suburban, and urban communities across America by dismantling public education to pay for tax handouts for billionaires.
The real victims will be students #scpol

Texas police officer, Benjamin McGilvray, has been arrested for the rape of a child.

Infographic titled 'Some of the Dept of Education’s Key Programs', featuring the logo of the Department of Education. Surrounding the logo is text that reads: School lunches, Pell Grants, Low-income school funding, School safety programs, Vocational training and services, Aid for schools on federal land, Student debt relief programs, Special ed programs

Donald Trump signed an executive order to dismantle these key programs

I can think of few more effective ways to make America’s wine moms even more willing to hunt MAGAs than they already are than “taking away access to LIBBY online library services”

Our children's education shouldn't be a political football, changing with every election cycle. We need consistent standards that ensure every child, regardless of location, has access to a quality education and the opportunity to succeed.

I’m tired of all the moral cowardice.

And now I’ve never been angrier about it.

Clearly there is an issue
- seized control of JFK’s memorial, the Kennedy Center
- gutted the WH rose garden created by the Kennedys

Rafael Cruz I hope you get the life you deserve if not in this lifetime then in the next. Maybe then you will learn about the consequences of your choices.

Signed,
An angry and disappointed PROUD Puerto Rican woman living in Texas

and more specifically Cubans, you are a shame to the legacy of freedom that so many have sought outside of a Castro regime and have died in the pursuit of it, you are a disgraceful husband and father for your cowardice and your hypocrisy. 🧵18

I take liberties in speaking for Cubans—my fellow Caribbeans — and maybe the ancestors that aren’t mine like you speak for the unborn that don’t exist, but you are a shame to your people, and by that I mean, Latinos, 🧵17

lapping at the table and taking scraps, hoping that one day el patrón will let you eat at his table. Real talk, they will never see you as anything other than a dirty immigrant. 🧵16

Like the unborn which you keep trying to speak for when they are nonexistent, so do the dead and the ancestors upon whose memories you spit would hold you in contempt and shame. You are a hypocrite, a Latino trying to be a white man, 🧵16

and how disrespectful and disgusting not only your rhetoric, but your cowardice is.

Rafael Cruz you don’t deserve freedom. You don’t deserve liberty. You don’t deserve an easy life because you’ve thrown your hand in with the wrong devil.🧵14

You and your actions have been so reprehensible that not even Canada, the country you immigrated to first when you left authoritarian Cuba, didn’t want you back! That should tell you something about what people think of you 🧵13

As a wife, if my husband refused to stand up for me and instead joined in with the same man who insulted me and also insults my family and where I come from, that man would find himself without a wife.🧵12

You have tied yourself to a man who not only does not respect your birth country, your people, and those who have died in the pursuit of freedom, but also is the same man who insulted your wife and insulted you. 🧵11

You have brought shame upon your family, your ancestors, your countrymen, and have spit on the memories of those who have died in the pursuit of freedom from an authoritarian regime by throwing your hand in with a similar regime.🧵10
