At 3am, Republicans had an opportunity to keep their promise to our nation’s veterans and pass legislation to guarantee no cuts or delays to health care benefits we secured for toxic-exposed service members. They voted it down.

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

This 🧵 is important and should be shared and used widely. It gives us a counter response to every Leftist/Progressive online argument that they use to bash the Democrats.

The irony. LaVar Ball said his wife purposefully had a major stroke that has limited her ability to talk so she “can be quiet.” She had to relearn how to walk. He cruelly banned her from using a wheelchair in the house. Now, he’s disabled with an amputated foot. #BlackSky #DisabilitySky #Ableism

My name is Reyna Walters-Morgan and I'm proud to be the DNC's new Vice Chair for Civic Engagement & Voter Participation! I'm looking to connect with as many fellow Democrats as I can to help amplify all of the work we're doing — will you follow, repost and spread the word?

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

You can still order free Covid tests in the U. S.--one person household. I assumed you couldn't after January 20--and it looks like the Toilet Demon wants them to go to waste. Order now! special.usps.com/testkits #freecovidtests #covidtests

I think Democrats should hire Vietnamese, Chinese, & Korean speakers to analyze GOP media on Asian-Language news forums in 2024. More money + attention to Spanish-media as well, but I think we're also missing just how much the GOP has permeated Asian spaces.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

Can we make murdering irony a crime? Musk's deceptive tweet is large scale social deception and Harwell's excellent post will not have nearly the reach needed to counteract it.
